Week 3 Waiver Targets

Week 3 - 2024
Written By T-Rock

Waiver Targets

The South Harmon Agency has more high-tier operatives gathering intel than ever before. Be sure to keep your channel open and collect data from the various sources as it comes in. In terms of FAAB bidding, review your league’s previous waiver behavior to navigate the wire best. The waiver wire will become more bare as the season continues, especially in best ball formats.

ReDraft (most of these players will be rostered in Dynasty leagues)

  • Braelon Allen - 21% rostership, 12-15% FAAB (Jumped from 18% to 35% snap share in wk. 2 and turned the increased opportunity into 2 TDs. If Breece ever misses time, Allen has RB1 potential)

  • Alec Pierce - 23% rostership, 10-13% FAAB (There’s no way the 3rd yr player keeps up this breakout pace, but take a shot on him in case we’re wrong)

  • Andrei Iosivas - 15% rostership, 10-12% FAAB (Not sure what his role will be once Higgins returns, but the Bengals looked a lot better in Wk. 2, & Iosivas looks like a top redzone target for Burrow)

  • Kareem Hunt - 0% rostership, 8-10% FAAB (Pacheco is out for 6-8 wks with a fractured fibula. Steele & Perine aren’t good. CEH is MIA. Hunt had 10 top-36 RB performances in 2023. Now he’s back in a Chiefs uniform.)

  • Quentin Johnston - 16% rostership, spend 8-10% FAAB (The Poster Child of Busts is no longer looking like one of the worst fantasy picks of all time)

  • Jalen Nailor - 4% rostership, 5-8% FAAB (with injuries now to both JJ & Addison, Nailor finds himself as the #1 on a dangerous looking Vikings team behind Sam Darnold - never expected to write this)

  • Jalen Tolbert - 6% rostership, 5-8% FAAB (Tolbert & Cooks could very easily trade weeks as the #2 in this high-powered offense. There’s also the chance Cooks could miss time at some point this season.)

  • Mike Gesicki - 10% rostership, 5-7% FAAB (The Bengals have never prioritized their TEs, but that could all change this yr.)

Dynasty

  • Andy Dalton - 9% rostership, 25-30% FAAB (You should already have him holstered, but if he’s somehow available, you pony up to acquire him. He was the QB7 in week 3 last yr and won’t relinquish the starting role for the ROS. If you need a QB3, send up to 2x 3rds via trade.)

  • Josh Reynolds - 53% rostership, 8-10% FAAB (Bo Nix doesn’t look the greatest, but Reynolds deserves to be rostered as the #2 option in a team that will look to pass a lot when behind)

  • D’Onta Foreman - 45% rostership, 8-10% FAAB (Consistently overlooked, Foreman always finds himself on the field with a decent share of the opportunities. Surprised to see him out-touch Ford 15 to 8)

  • Atwell/Whittington - 34% & 71% rostership, 5-8% FAAB (The Rams WR room has come under attack. Look for Tutu & Jordan to be the top receivers if Robinson & Tyler go down to injury in wk. 3)

  • Noah Brown - 32% rostership, 5% FAAB in Best Ball only (Jayden & The Commanders are obsessed with running, but in a given week Noah has the potential to be a top 2-3 receiving option for the team)
