Los Angeles Rams Quarterback Matthew Stafford Leads Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Priorities for Week 3
MIAMI, Sept. 18 (UPI) — Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, along with running backs Matt Breida and Zack Moss, are the top priorities for fantasy football owners looking to make waiver wire moves ahead of Week 3 of the 2023 season.
Injuries to star players such as Saquon Barkley, Jaylen Waddle, and Odell Beckham Jr. have opened up opportunities for their backups. This article provides a comprehensive list of players to add and drop for Week 3.
Top Players to Add for Week 3:
Quarterbacks: Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson
Running Backs: Matt Breida, Zack Moss
Wide Receivers: Josh Reynolds, Robert Woods, Marvin Mims Jr.
Tight Ends: Hunter Henry, Kylen Granson
Defense/Special Teams Units: Seattle Seahawks
Kickers: Brandon Aubrey
Honorable Mentions:
Quarterbacks: Kenny Pickett, Jordan Love
Running Backs: Roschon Johnson, Tyjae Spears, De’Von Achane
Wide Receivers: Nelson Agholor, Jayden Reed
Tight End: Zach Ertz
Defense/Special Teams Units: Jacksonville Jaguars
Kicker: Jake Moody
Top Players to Drop for Week 3:
Quarterback: Sam Howell
Running Backs: Deon Jackson, Cam Akers
Wide Receiver: Kendrick Bourne
Tight End: Luke Musgrave
Defense/Special Teams Units: New York Giants
Kicker: Graham Gano
Quarterback:
Matthew Stafford is the top quarterback to add off the waiver wire for Week 3. Despite only throwing one touchdown pass in his first two games, Stafford has averaged 320.5 passing yards per game. With his top wide receiver, Cooper Kupp, returning, Stafford is poised for a strong performance against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks.
Running Backs:
Matt Breida and Zack Moss are the top running backs to add for Week 3. Breida saw action in Week 2 due to an injury to Saquon Barkley and could be a valuable RB2 or flex option if Barkley continues to miss time. Moss, on the other hand, had an impressive performance in Week 2 with 107 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. He should continue to produce as the Indianapolis Colts await the return of their starter, Jonathan Taylor.
Wide Receivers:
Puka Nacua is the top wide receiver to add, but Josh Reynolds, Robert Woods, and Marvin Mims Jr. are also worth considering. Reynolds had a strong showing in Week 2, while Woods has been a reliable target for Lions rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Mims is a boom-or-bust play, but his big-play potential makes him an intriguing option against the Miami Dolphins.
Tight Ends:
Hunter Henry and Kylen Granson are the top tight end targets for Week 3. Henry has already matched his touchdown total from last season and should continue to see plenty of targets in the New England Patriots’ high-volume passing offense. Granson is a deeper league option who has shown potential with his usage rate and ability to find the end zone.
Overall, these waiver wire additions can provide a boost to your fantasy football team in Week 3 and beyond. Make sure to monitor the injury statuses of key players and adjust your lineup accordingly.
