Waiver Wire Analysis: Week 3
Key Points:
- Baker Mayfield, currently QB15 and QB21 through two games, is recommended to be dropped for a different streamer ahead of his Week 3 matchup against the Vikings due to poor performance against their defense.
- Bucky Irving's significant role in Tampa Bay's offense makes Kenneth Gainwell expendable and a candidate to be dropped.
- Jacksonville's backfield shows Bhayshul Tuten as the most utilized player, while Chris Rodriguez and Ameer Abdullah are suggested drops.
- Several players face injury concerns: Jonathon Brooks is week-to-week with a groin injury, Alec Pierce has a heel aggravation potentially sidelining him midseason, Jayden Reed suffered a back injury, and Dallas Goedert will miss a few weeks with an MCL sprain, making them candidates for waiver pickups or drops.
- Arizona's target distribution indicates Michael Harrison Jr. is less valuable, supporting the recommendation to move on from him in fantasy leagues.
