Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups, Week 3: Jonah Coleman, Tank Bigsby among top targets to add

Key Points:

• Bryce Young of the Panthers is the top quarterback waiver-wire pickup for Week 3, ranking as the second-highest scoring fantasy QB after two games and showing strong connections with his receivers and tight end. Kyler Murray is also a notable QB add if available.
• Running backs Jonah Coleman (Broncos), Tank Bigsby (Eagles), and Emanuel Wilson (Seahawks) are key waiver-wire targets due to injuries to starters J.K. Dobbins, Saquon Barkley, and Jadarian Price, respectively, offering significant upside as potential lead backs.
• Wide receivers Denzel Boston (Browns), Tre Tucker (Raiders), and Rashod Bateman (Ravens) lead the WR waiver-wire list, with Boston showing consistent high usage and production despite quarterback uncertainties, while Tucker and Bateman offer upside mainly in injury-affected situations.
• Tight end Oronde Gadsden II (Chargers) emerges as a strong waiver-wire option following injuries to David Njoku and Charlie Kolar, providing TE2 to TE1 upside in a Chargers offense needing offensive sparks.
• Fantasy managers are advised to consider dropping underperforming or less impactful players such as Baker Mayfield, Malik Willis, Rico Dowdle, and Marvin Harrison Jr. to make room for these impactful waiver-wire additions ahead of Week 3.
