This is our waiver wire pick-ups column. The staff will scour the free agent pools in fantasy land for the best available talent every week. Availability, of course, depends on the league. We\u2019re using 12 team, 15 roster spot leagues as the median, but we\u2019ll look for roster candidates for leagues of all shapes and sizes. Grab the following before NFL Week 3. <\/p>\n
After all of the weekly games are finished be sure to check our cheatsheets, a who\u2019s hot, and who\u2019s not report plus more in our fantasy football guide. 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). Good Luck!!!<\/p>\n
1. Matt Cassel, Patriots
\nCassel is the top recommended QB this week, he’s still learning, but looked decent versus the Jets.<\/p>\n
2. J.T. O\u2019Sullivan, 49ers
\nLooked cool as a cucumber playing the “Vaunted” Seahawks D at Qwest Field. This nobody could surprise down the road.<\/p>\n
3. Trent Edwards, Bills
\nBuffalo\u2019s schedule gets softer in the coming weeks with games against Oakland, St. Louis and Arizona.<\/p>\n
1. Darren Sproles, Chargers
\n LaDainian Tomlinson aggravated his turf toe injury during Sunday\u2019s loss to the Broncos. So, check his week 3 status, if you own him, you better own Sproles too.<\/p>\n
2. Michael Bush, Raiders
\nJustin Fargas injured his groin in Sunday\u2019s game against the Raiders. McFadden pulled up late in the game with turf toe. Who knows if Bush sees the field, but, if you’re desperate…<\/p>\n
3. Michael Pittman, Broncos
\nThe Broncos look like they\u2019re for real and should be able to score points on any team in the NFL. Pittman is the goalline back in Denver right now.<\/p>\n
4. Pierre Thomas, Saints
\nIf Reggie Bush were to go down with an injury….<\/p>\n
1. Amani Toomer, Giants
\nToomer\u2019s upside is limited, but if you need a bye week fill-in, you could do worse than him.<\/p>\n
2. Bryant Johnson, 49ers
\nFinished Week 2 with six receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown and it looks like he’s earned the trust of O’Sullivan.<\/p>\n
3. Isaac Bruce, 49ers
\nWe’ll bite and put Bruce down here, even though he really just loves playing against Trufant of Seattle and Martz is his OC again…maybe, just maybe he has 700 yards this year.<\/p>\n
4. Chris Henry, Bengals
\nBack in Week 5. The troubled wideout could be a good bye week fill in if you need to fill a roster sport for your receiving corps.<\/p>\n
5. James Jones, Packers
\nWith Green Bay\u2019s offense clicking, Jones could become a viable fantasy player, and it looks like there’s enough catches to go around between Driver, Jennings, Lee and Jones<\/p>\n
1. Tony Scheffler, Broncos
\nA 2 TD day from the supposed backup…we’ll see.<\/p>\n
2. John Carlson, Seahawks
\nThis is a no-brainer. Grab the rookie! He’s the only HEALTHY Seahawks pass catcher who started training camp with the club. Yes you heard right the Seahawks have lost SIX receivers to injury now, and a backup QB who plays WR – Seneca Wallace….ouch.<\/p>\n
1. San Francisco 49ers
