Kevin Szafraniec highlights the best players available on waivers in 50% or more of ESPN and Yahoo leagues heading into Week 3.
A string of quarterback injuries was one of the biggest storylines in Week 2. For a position that usually doesn’t get a ton of attention in this space, perhaps this is the week when the right QB pickup will trump all other needs. However, I would also argue that all of the QBs could be outshined by a potential league-winning running back who comes tethered to what will likely be the highest FAAB recommendation we see in this article all year. Additionally, Week 3 could be the final chance to pick up a few difference-makers at the wide receiver and tight end positions following breakout performances to kick off the season.
Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:
- To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in 50% or less of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
- To be included as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in more than 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
- FAAB recommendations will be given but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
- All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool.
