What are the hosts’ opening thoughts and the overall outlook for Week 3?
This is fantasy football today from CBS Sports. It's time to dominate your fantasy league. Off to the races, and he stays on his feet. Let's just get it. Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
We are into fantasy week three. Let's go. Hope we have some two and oh. You guys have any undefeated teams still? Several. Oh wow! Amazing!
Really? That no. All right, yeah, we're into week three. We've got I think the real question is how many winless teams do we have? Oh. And I I I got a couple one league I'm I'm tanking. Both of my dynasty leagues. One I'm trying to tank, the other one I'm not. I'm winless in both. Yeah. And I've got one other redraft league where I've started O and two.
That's it. That's pretty good. I think I have That's it. Out of fourteen, not bad. Maybe three winless redraft teams. Yeah, it's no good. We got to get a win this week. We got some quarterbacks coming back. Michael Penix Jr., Kyler Murray are coming back. But we, of course, have more quarterbacks who are injured, like Jackson Dart last night. However, with Jackson Dart with Caleb Williams, we don't have season-ending injuries. We still don't know with Jaden Daniels. Uh we had a lot of running back injuries last week, which usually means a good waiver wire week. However, these running back injuries might be very short. Short term. So it's a little bit of a tricky week when it comes to waiver wire priority. Jamie, what does it look like?
Who are the top three players to get for week three?
The top three for me are Jonah Coleman. Bryce Young. And Dalton Schultz. Uh I think you're looking at There's an opportunity here. You said it. We may get JK Dobbins back and RJ Harvey back, but what if we don't? And Coleman looked good in uh his performance against Jackson was a really good run defense. I was glad that he was involved in the passing game. Um, if one of the two are out, I still think that you can use Coleman as a flex. And if both are out, then I think he's uh a must-start running back even against the Rams. Bryce Young has been awesome through the first two games of the season, but it's now seven of his last. Last ten games going back to last year, over twenty fantasy points. Again, kind of coincides with Jalen Culker's emergence.
And then Dalton Schultz just coming off this amazing performance. But it's now twenty-two targets in two games. Uh, one of them without Nico Collins. We don't know if Collins is gonna return. And he did very well in two games against the Colts last year. So uh those three, assuming that the Broncos backfield is depleted, would all be must starts for me if Again, Coleman is the starter for Denver.
Jonah Coleman, Bryce Young, Dalton Schultz. And you know, if you if you add Coleman and then both Harvey and Dobbins play this week, are you gonna stick with him? You know, just say, This is a guy I wanna have because look, Jobin Dobbins is always hurt and maybe Harvey just stays the third down back.
I w I would say uh if you add him and those guys return, go look at JK Dobbins player page, go to where it says career, go look at how many games he has missed and then know that he's already dealing with a hamstring injury. So I love J. K. Dobbins.
Which three players do Jamie and Dave name as the top waiver‑wire priorities for Week 3?
I'd love to see him stay healthy. He said in the preseason when he had the minor injury, I forget what it was, um, that he wasn't gonna let I think it was ankle. Um, he came back right away to practice. Sounds like he's gonna return this week in some capacity, but it's just unfortunately what his history has been. And Jonah Coleman may be the future of this Broncos backfield and they're coming off a win where he had a big part in it. So wouldn't be surprised if he now is working his way into a bigger part of the rotation, uh, if everybody's healthy and you know May end up playing more than one of the two. I I think if it was gonna be any of them, it would be Harvey.
Okay, Dave. So Jamie's top three priorities this week are Jonah Coleman, Bryce Young, and Dalton Schultz. One thing about Bryce Young, uh maybe you'll start him against Cleveland this week.
