NFL Fantasy Week 3 Waiver Targets
Daniel Jones
Through the first two weeks of the NFL season, Daniel Jones has led the Indianapolis Colts to a 2-0 record. He is the No. 1-ranked fantasy quarterback, and while that is not expected to continue, he could finish the season as a top 15 QB. Picking him up while he is only 19% rostered in Yahoo leagues could be a smart move for players who do not have a top QB.
Matthew Stafford
While he is still viewed as a top QB, Rams QB Matthew Stafford was overlooked in many drafts because of injury concerns. As a result, he is only 28% rostered and could be a solid addition.
Wan’Dale Robinson
NY Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson is 23% rostered and has done well early in the season. The Giants’ struggles running the ball could lead to a lot of receptions for Robinson.
NFL Fantasy Week 3 Buy Low Candidates
Matthew Golden
Green Bay rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden has been on the field for 63% of the Packers’ snaps thus far. He has performed well, but with Jayden Reed sidelined with a collarbone injury, he could get a bigger opportunity.
Calvin Ridley
Tennessee wide receiver Calvin Ridley is not off to a good start, only making seven catches on 14 targets for 84 yards. However, his production should improve as rookie QB Cam Ward settles into his role. As a result, this is a good time to buy low on Ridley.
NFL Fantasy Week 3 Sell High Candidates
Cooper Kupp
Cooper Kupp bounced back in Week 2 with seven catches for 90 yards. However, he is stuck behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the WR2. As a result, Kupp’s production could regress, making him a good sell-high option.
Travis Hunter
The hype for Travis Hunter as a fantasy option is starting to dwindle. His two-way duties are taking away from his fantasy upside, and it has not been a seamless transition to the NFL altogether. As a result, Hunter owners could look to sell him while there is still some hype around him.
