Your Week 3 Waiver Wire Guide
Use this before you add anyone...
Hey!
Week 2 is over and a lot just happened.
Here’s your reminder for today:
Don’t overspend on waivers - save your budget for impactful RBs.
Here are the 3 running backs to add after Week 1 (with some deep league options after):
#3 Kansas City RBs
Isiah Pacheco left Week 2 with an ankle injury and was seen on crutches after the game.
Both Carson Steele & Samaje Perine are available in over 95% of leagues.
Perine is a veteran back who ranked 2nd in yards per touch in the NFL last season.
Expect Perine to be trusted in pass-protection over the rookie Steele.
But Steele is still interesting because he's 230 pounds and should earn redzone work Steele was also a productive college player - with a 1700 yard season on his resume.
Both guys are priority adds but I should note that Clyde Edwards-Helaire could return in 2 weeks...
#2 Ty Chandler
He's available in 71% of leagues and just produced 82 yards on only 10 carries.
Aaron Jones left in Week 2 - but was able to return to the game.
However - this is the concern with Jones - he's nearly 30 years old and battled injuries most of last season.
Chandler could be the more durable RB in Minnesota as the season goes on.
He's a fast and dynamic back who had 3 explosive runs in Week 2…
#1 Antonio Gibson
He's available in 84% of leagues Look - this is Rhamondre Stevenson's backfield in New England as he played 72% of the snaps in Week 2.
But here's why Gibson is appealing - The Patriots rush offense looks great under new play-caller Alex Van Pelt.
Van Pelt was the former Browns offensive coordinator and had seasons where both Nick Chubb & Kareem Hunt were fantasy relevant.
We may be getting that now in New England because Gibson was able to total 100+ yards in Week 2.
If this run game stays strong - Gibson can be a weekly FLEX option with even more upside if Stevenson misses time…
Deep League Options:
Cam Akers: Dameon Pierce is injured & Joe Mixon was banged up in Week 2
Jaylen Wright: Raheem Mostert & Jeff Wilson are injured
Julius Chesnut: Tyjae Spears left Week 2 with an injury
But these names aren’t enough to actually help you win on the waiver wire this week.
