Week 3 Waiver Wire is Gold

Adonai Mitchell is a recommended waiver wire target following Omar Cooper's move to IR; Mitchell saw his role expand to 82% of snaps and 12 targets in the most recent game.

Alvin Kamara is a premium handcuff with receiving involvement, but he lacks the 'juice' of his past seasons. He is not a recommended start unless Travis Etienne is injured, in which case he would be a top-24 running back in full PPR formats.

Caleb Williams is noted as a player whose injury status creates a need for fantasy managers to seek a replacement quarterback.

Cam Ward is identified as a quarterback to target against when streaming the New York Giants defense, citing the Titans' poor offensive performance.

Dalton Schultz is the top tight end waiver wire pickup, boasting 26 fantasy points and over 11 targets per game; he is a priority add for teams lacking target volume from Nico Collins, Tank Dell, or Jaden Higgins.

Denzel Boston has established himself as an every-down player for the Browns, playing 92-93% of snaps over the first two weeks and scoring a touchdown in both games; he is suggested as a potential flex option in 12-team double-flex leagues as the wide receiver role remains wide open.

Dontayvion Wicks is suggested as a potential bye-week fill-in for super deep leagues, noting his increase to six targets in week two.

JK Dobbins, described as injury-prone, went down with an injury this past Sunday. While reports suggest it is not a serious injury and he could return for Week 3, his health remains a key factor in the Denver backfield rotation.

Jayden Daniels is noted as a player whose injury status creates a need for fantasy managers to seek a replacement quarterback.

Jerry Jeudy is considered a complete non-factor in the Cleveland Browns offense, despite maintaining high snap counts of 92% and 93% through the first two weeks.

Jonah Coleman is a top waiver wire target due to injuries to RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins. If both miss Week 3, Coleman is a top-20 running back; even if only one misses, he has an opportunity to carve out a long-term role after a strong Week 2 performance featuring a rushing touchdown and receiving involvement.

Jordan Love is a top streaming quarterback recommendation for week three, as he faces a weak Atlanta Falcons defense and is expected to have a bounce-back performance.

Kyler Murray is recommended as a streaming quarterback with long-term upside due to his rushing ability and a favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Rashod Bateman is not recommended as a waiver pickup for the upcoming week because the return of Zay Flowers is expected to make Bateman unusable.

RJ Harvey suffered a hamstring injury during practice, which impacted his status as the lead back in Denver. There is a chance he returns for Week 3, but his availability remains uncertain.

There is currently no update on Saquon Barkley's injury status as of Monday night. Fantasy managers are assuming he is good to go for now, but Tuesday's news will be critical for determining the value of his backups.

Tank Bigsby is a top waiver wire target if Saquon Barkley misses time. If Barkley is out, Bigsby would likely split the backfield with Will Shipley in a committee approach rather than serving as a bell-cow.

Travis Etienne's health is the primary condition for Alvin Kamara to become a viable fantasy starter; Jonah Coleman notes there is no way he would start Kamara outside of a Travis Etienne injury.

Will Shipley would be part of a running back by committee approach alongside Tank Bigsby if Saquon Barkley is forced to miss time.
