This is a list of several NFL Rookies who will stand out in week 3 of the 2016 NFL season.

As we head into week 3 of the NFL season we have already seen plenty of NFL rookies make an impact. The biggest coming from Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. However, he’s not among my predicted top performers for this week.

Wentz and the Eagles have a tough test against the Pittsburgh Steelers who will no doubt look to make things difficult for the rookie quarterback.

This week might be a tough matchup for Wentz but there are several matchups that favorable for other rookies. The rookies that appear on this list are here because of their talent, matchup and production so far this season.

One player you won’t see on this list is the Cleveland Browns Cody Kessler. The situation just doesn’t fit the mold needed for a strong NFL debut. Cleveland just doesn’t have the overall talent needed to make things easy for Kessler.

The situation only got worse this week when news broke that rookie receiver Corey Coleman will miss several weeks with a fractured hand. He’s been one of the few bright spots for the Browns this year.
