Which early‑season running backs should I add from the waiver wire for Week 3?
An early look at the waiver wire right now on Fantasy Football Today Express. Week three is here. A lot of running back injuries, but hopefully none of them are too serious. Jamie, what's the waiver wire looking like right now for week three?
So we'll start at running back. We got a little bit of a positive update on J.K. Dobbins that it sounds like he's going to be able to play in week three and the same thing maybe with R.J. Harvey, but I'm still going to go get Jonah Coleman, 49% rostered. You saw the way he looked in week two against Jacksonville, and that's a good run defense. I think that... We'll see him, even when everybody's healthy, in the mix. And you've already dealt with the one J.K. Dobbins injury. Imagine if there's a full season injury like we had last year. I know you've talked about this a lot, that maybe it's still RJ Harvey's job. I'm going to guess it's a split situation if any of the guys miss. But I do think that if it's a J.K.
Dobbins absence, we get Jonah Coleman on rushing downs, and that leads to some quality production. I don't think you'll get a must-start running back unless, of course, both guys are out in week three when the Broncos take on – don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me. It's a tough matchup for them. the Rams. So I think Jonah Coleman is certainly somebody you want to go add. Barkley's injury is one worth keeping an eye on. I think we'll see Tank Bigsby as the more added player, but don't forget about Will Shipley. Tank Bigsby is rostered in 49% of leagues. I'm still rostering him wherever I can get my hands on him, which would be Emma Johnson, 57% rostered. I don't really need to roster him because I have him in every league where he's available that I play in, but
I think you should go get Emmitt Johnson because we see the way this offense operates. They get the Dolphins this week. I'm going to guess both guys get an opportunity to run the ball. Emmanuel Wilson, it sounds like Jadarian Price is going to be okay dealing with the chest slash shoulder injury, I guess is the way Mike McDonald framed it on Monday. But 4% rostered, he just had a lot of work. So make sure you get Emmanuel Wilson if you have an opportunity to stash a running back. Those are really the major injury concerns. There's Alvin Kamara. There's Tajay Spears. There's a lot of handcuff options you can pick up. Braylon Allen scored a touchdown. I'll have that list again on Tuesday of the handcuff running backs that I think should be rostered in every
league. Caleb Johnson maybe is another guy we'll talk about on Tuesday. Quarterback, is Bryce Young the number one player to get on the waiver wire?
He's not the number one player to get. He's definitely number one quarterback to get. You can make a case for Dalton Schultz just based on his roster percentage. He's at 60% coming off the game he just had. Obviously, if there's a setback during the week between J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey, Jonah Coleman is going to be in that conversation. But Bryce Young has been awesome through the first two games of the season. And now he gets Cleveland. And I know the Browns did a much better job against Baker Mayfield, certainly much better job than I expected them to do. But the way that Bryce Young has played, this is now seven of his last nine games going back to last year with at least 20 or more fantasy points coincides with Jalen Coker becoming more of a factor in the offense.
So I think when he has both those receivers on the field, now you throw Darren Waller in the mix. Bryce Young is looking like a great replacement for Caleb Williams, great replacement for Jaden Daniels, and maybe just a great starting quarterback overall. that we can ride for the rest of the season because the schedule is not exactly tough. And as I said on Sunday night's recap show, he's doing this without his tackles. So once the starting offensive tackles get back, it could be even better for Bryce Young.
All right. Any other quarterbacks that you feel like mentioning? Kyler
Murray got cleared.
He's
going to start in week three.
