This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
In week three, is there a number one hyper-focused waiver wire target? Yes and no. It's a little bit better than the previous week, but we're still going to battle out with two top names. We've actually got a whole bunch of others we're going to dig into from running backs and wide receivers. We are going to set you into the quarterback and tight end range. We're going to take the top five. We're going to look at it all for waivers for week three right here on Fantasy Pro's I'm Chris Welsh.
What are the must‑add running backs and wide receivers on Week 3’s waiver wire?
We've got the Athletic Zone Jake Seeley, Pat Fitzmorris with me as we are going to traverse everything that was week two that is going to lead into this week three market from fab to number one waiver claims. Last week, we were not willing to use a number one waiver claim on that grouping. Mr. Pat Fitzmorris, before we dig into the two names we're going to battle, just as a little tease, is week three number one waiver wire priority
worthy? It is if you need running back help. And I think there's a running back worthy of that waiver
claim. And we did not have any good running backs last week, so it's a little bit better. So Jake, same thing. Then we'll get to the names. Do you believe week three will be number one waiver wire worthy?
Yeah, if you want to get this awesome t-shirt for me, by the way. I'm sorry. I made this myself. I want to call out. I want them to zoom out and show the whole damn thing. I made the Voltron Disney afternoon cartoon from scratch. This is everything you could possibly get. So that's your number one waiver wire. You turn it into an app. That is my number one. All right. I could actually – I'll send it to people. I can't sell it. They'll come for me. Disney will come for me tomorrow. No, they're like – It's because what Fitz said is the easy answer. There's two potential names, but there's a lot of ifs behind them. So you're probably gonna have to make the call before we get the full information. But if you need a running back, you kind of have to make that move.
All right, well, let's dive into it because we will be doing a hyper focus on running backs. Wide receivers, as mentioned, we're going to do a little keeper cut, top streamers, and then we'll do our overall waiver claims. But this week, the top of the mountain, it is another battle like we did last week. But the name's a little bit juicier. We are battling out... The running back is mentioned Jonah Coleman with the Denver Broncos versus Denzel Boston. Denzel Boston, 31% ownership. We were using Yahoo as a ownership percentage. The roster percentage was 31%. Denzel Boston had seven targets, five catches, 95 yards and a big score. And that's two straight weeks of seeing kind of those big plays. versus Jonah Coleman, who I will say, if you watch the morning start and sit shows we do here on Fantasy Pros, we had this exact question, and I actually had said, you should preemptively add this guy regardless of what's going on, because R.J.
Harvey was out, and this is the situation, because people are going to be potentially looking at using number one waiver claims on Jonah Coleman, who 25% roster percentage, 10 carries, 39 yards, 3 catches, for 19 yards. We saw some usage. We saw some of the stuff that was getting hyped up.
How much should I bid on Jonah Coleman versus Denzel Boston in the FAAB market?
It's a little bit early. So Jake, let's go to you. Let's start with you first on this one. Denzel Boston versus Jonah Coleman. I know you're going to kind of positionalize it a little bit, like if you
need
running back, which is totally fine. So do that. But also talk about the one for one value on these guys. If there's no positional need whatsoever, is Jonah Coleman going to be your guy?
So this actually comes down to even if I need wide receiver help, I'm still probably going for Jonah Coleman unless we just get something. Tuesday afternoon before waivers run and it's like, oh, J.K. Dobbins is fine. This is precautionary. Because that's really what it comes down to is that the extra if is if there is no R.J. Harvey, we're talking about a potential top 20 running back.
