Blow it All on the Week 3 Waiver Wire

Alvin Kamara is a viable RB2 depth option, having recorded 15 opportunities and six targets in his first game back from injury. He is viewed as a reliable floor play for 7-12 PPR points.

Bryce Young is a priority waiver wire target for Week 3, currently ranking second in fantasy points per game behind only Josh Allen. The Panthers have shifted to a league-leading neutral pass rate (63.1% in recent games), and the offense is being run through Young, who is actively targeting players downfield.

C.J. Stroud is a solid quarterback option who benefits from playing in a dome against Indianapolis, though he needs Nico Collins back to reach his full fantasy ceiling.

Dalton Schultz's recent production of 14 targets and 140 yards was largely a product of garbage time and Nico Collins' absence; he is not a must-start if Collins returns to the lineup.

Darren Waller is an option for deeper leagues, having increased his route share to 56% and scoring two touchdowns in a hyper-red-zone role.

Denzel Boston is recommended as a flex-worthy waiver add, currently performing as the best rookie receiver with 2.4+ yards per route run and 17 points per game. He is a fine boom-bust WR3 or flex play with upside down the stretch, as rookie receivers typically backload their production.

Emanuel Wilson is a priority waiver add for short-term needs, coming off a game with 20+ touches. His value is tied to the uncertainty of Jadarian Price's injury and the eventual return of Zack Charbonnet, making him a fringe RB2 for the next 1-3 weeks.

The source references Harrison Bryant's role as the tight end one for the Cleveland Browns last year as a historical comparison for how a tight end can remain fantasy-viable.

Isaiah Williams is not considered a viable fantasy option moving forward; despite recording six targets, his usage was inefficient, characterized by an extremely low aDOT of approximately -0.5.

JK Dobbins sustained an injury in his recent game; while he claims to be healthy, Ron Stewart notes a long history of injury concerns for the running back.

Ron Stewart has a gut feeling that Jerry Jeudy may be traded soon, though he clarifies this is not a bold prediction but rather a sense of where the situation is headed.

Ron Stewart identifies Jonah Coleman as a top priority waiver wire add, noting his snap share increased from 7% to 42% and he recorded 10 carries, three receptions, and a touchdown for 14.8 PPR points. Coleman is a high-upside stash who saw nine touches compared to just one for Tyler Bedet after JK Dobbins exited the game.

While Ron Stewart praises Kenneth Walker's talent, he notes that Walker has a history of injury issues, which increases the value of his backup, Emmitt Johnson.

Kenyan Sadiq is a tight end to monitor for increased fantasy value; with Mason Taylor currently injured, Sadiq is expected to see an uptick in route participation and increased volume specifically within the screen game.

Malachi Fields is an encouraging stash prospect who increased his route share from 62% to 82% and his target share from 14% to 17%, showing potential if Malik Nabers misses time.

RJ Harvey is dealing with a lingering injury issue that occurred during his recent game, which impacts the immediate backfield outlook for the team.

The source notes that Drew Lock's fantasy viability as a starter depends on Sam Darnold's injury status.

Tank Bigsby is a recommended waiver target who is expected to lead his backfield in touches, projected for 10-15 touches against Chicago. Despite inefficiency against the Titans, he secured a 41% rush share and a touchdown, making him a fringe RB2 option if Saquon Barkley misses time.

Terrence Ferguson is a priority add and a potential TE1 if Puka Nacua's injury lingers, as Ferguson runs 70%+ of routes and commands a 30% target share when Nacua is out.

Trey Tucker is a recommended waiver add as the Raiders' current WR1, coming off a 20+ PPR point performance, though his value will likely decline once Brock Bowers returns.

Will Shipley is worth rostering as a stash, particularly if Saquon Barkley is injured. He recorded nine opportunities during Barkley's absence and possesses a pass-catching skill set that could eventually lead to him overtaking Tank Bigsby. He previously saw a 53% snap share in the game where Barkley went down.
