Without wasting any more of your time, here is the Week 3 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickup List, for the NFL games going on this week (Week 3). The waiver process is used to bolster a Fantasy team. It can be used to attain depth for a fantasy roster or to replace an injured roster player.<\/p>\n
No shortage of Waiver Wire Goodness this week. There are some players that could legitimately contribute on a Fantasy roster. Who\u2019s this year\u2019s Steve Slaton? Seems that this could be the \u201cyear of the pass catcher\u201d, and therefore the Waiver Wire is riddled with receiver.<\/p>\n
Quarterbacks are few and far between – in the average 12 team draft, 17-20 of the top QB’s are already on a roster. Mostly, you are picking up this player for depth or ONLY as a bye-week fill-in. RB\u2019s are similar- in most leagues – 40 of the most desirable already have a home. WR\u2019s are where the money will be made this week.<\/p>\n
Grab the following before NFL Week 3.\u00a0Here we go!<\/p>\n
QB\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3>\nTrent Edwards – Buffalo<\/strong> – Has the team off to a 2-0 start! OH WAIT!!! 1-1 start. Looks pretty good and seems to have a pretty good command of the game. Good for a couple of TD’s per game and he is not afraid to rush the ball either.<\/p>\nSeneca Wallace – Seattle<\/strong> – Filled in pretty well for the injured Hasselbeck, who sustained a fractured rib injury in the game. Ribs are painful and as Donovan McNabb has proven that they have potential to keep you out a while. Wallace still has weapons and he has been in the system for years.<\/p>\nOther to monitor:<\/strong> Byron Leftwich – On a bad team that will be forced to throw.<\/p>\nRB\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3>\nJustin Forsett – Seattle<\/strong> – Looks to me like another Leon Washington – a guy who totally changes the game when he\u2019s in there. He\u2019s a little guy that can hide under his O -line and he can catch passes too! Julius Jones and Edge are not EVER gonna get it done in Seattle – time to try another RB approach. Afterall, look what Mora did for Warrick Dunn.<\/p>\nOthers to monitor<\/strong> – Correll Buckhalter – Denver – looked good in his touches<\/p>\nWR\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3>\nMario Manningham – NY Giants<\/strong> – Undoubtedly the most sought after Free Agent this week. 10 catches, 150 yards and a td makes it 2 straight weeks he has scored. Someone has to absorb the Plax catches and Manning is dialed in right now.![\"Sports](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_870\")
Teams are committing to stop the run, leaving lots of room for the receiver to do their thing.<\/p>\nLaurent Robinson – St. Louis<\/strong> – Has emerged as the #1 option for the Rams for what that\u2019s worth. He\u2019s getting the targets, the catches and even broke through with a TD this week. The Rams are going to be down in a lot of games folks – they will have to throw a ton. You could do far worse than grabbing a #1 receiver on a team.<\/p>\nMike Sims-Walker – Jacksonville <\/strong>– Good game this week and with the lack of tangible talent as WR in Jacksonville, Sims-Walker has the potential to emerge and become Gerard\u2019s five. He\u2019s got Houston, Seattle, and St. Louis coming up before their Week 7 bye.<\/p>\nJohnny Knox – Chicago <\/strong>– 2 decent games in a row – seems to have the trust of Jay Cutler who can make a WR look very good. The rookie has potential to be Chicago\u2019s Eddie Royal – a play maker capable of breaking the BIG ONE!<\/p>\nJulian Edelman<\/strong> – New England – Most are referring to him as mini – Wes Welker. Look folks, anyone who plays in the slot with Brady throwing the ball is going to get the looks. I\u2019m just sayin……….. If he\u2019s in there, he\u2019ll be productive.<\/p>\nOthers to monitor<\/strong> – Brandon Stokely and Jabar Gaffney – Denver – Good games this week and Orton has to develop a rapport with someone – why not these 2?<\/p>\nTE\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3>\nDerek Schouman – Buffalo<\/strong> – Got a bit dinged this week but if he\u2019s good to go – he could be this year\u2019s Owen Daniels. Of his 9 catches this season, 6 have been for 1st down. Great safety valve for the Bills Offense.<\/p>\nDefense<\/strong><\/h3>\nDenver <\/strong>– Looked pretty solid against some suspect offenses. This week they get the Raiders – nuff said!!!<\/p>\nDave B has been a Fantasy Football Junkie and writer for CappersPicks.com for 10 years. A couch potato wannabe, Dave\u2019s insights have been read by 10\u2019s of people for years. He hope\u2019s for world peace + global relaxation. Enjoy folks \u2013 and remember only smoke things that are completely natural.<\/strong><\/em>em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Week 3 NFL waiver wire plus fantasy football lineup tips to help decide who to start or bench on your fantasy football team…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[299,66494,5694,2451,2452,1656,1657,1537,1536,1535,1315,1340,2453],"class_list":["post-13453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fantasy-football","tag-cheatsheets","tag-fantasy-football","tag-fantasy-football-playoffs","tag-fantasy-football-waiver-wire","tag-free-agents","tag-free-fantasy-football-tips","tag-lineup-advice","tag-projections","tag-start-bench-list","tag-studs-and-duds","tag-waiver-wire","tag-week-3","tag-who-to-pick-up"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13453"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13453\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109350,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13453\/revisions\/109350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
