Looking to make strategic waiver wire pickups for Week 3 of fantasy football? Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the top available players by position:

Quarterbacks:

  • Justin Fields: Priority target with QB1 potential and trade value
  • Derek Carr: Showing promise but expect some regression

Running Backs:

  • Zack Moss: Priority add if available after Week 1 inactive status
  • 49ers RBs: Consider any available back due to their rotation system
  • Deep league options: Darrel Williams and Jerrick McKinnon (with CEH struggling)

Wide Receivers:

  • Quintez Cephus: Emerging as potential WR1 after Tyrell Williams' injury
  • Strong college production profile despite limited athleticism
  • Showing ability to overcome pre-draft speed concerns

Tight Ends:

  • Cole Kmet: Buy-low opportunity if available in shallow leagues
  • Emergency options: Dawson Knox or Dan Arnold
  • Overall thin position with limited waiver wire value

Note: This is considered a relatively quiet week for waiver wire additions, with fewer standout options than usual. Focus on long-term value and team needs when making claims.
