Week 3 Waiver Wire: As the List of Injured Players Grows Longer, the Number of Viable Replacements Grows Thin (But All Hope Is Not Lost)

The injury bug continues to hit the NFL heavily in the early weeks of the season. While there are some players that can come in and bridge the gap until our stars return, figuring out the best replacement option isn’t always easy. Together we will navigate the treacherous waiver landscape heading into Week 3, in hopes of finding the best possible options to help us continue winning in spite of the difficulties we face regarding player availability.

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 mentioned as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in 50% or more 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

Let’s get into it!
