Top 3 Wide Receiver Waiver Wire For Week 3 Fantasy Football
http://gty.im/2172203767
Jalen Tolbert WR, (DAL), The Dallas Cowboys have struggled these past two weeks into the NFL season. Week 1, they destroyed the Cleveland Browns and things looked great in Dallas until Week 2 came and the Cowboys got embarrassed at home against the New Orleans Saints.
Despite losing 44-19 to the Saints, wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has had a good solid two weeks for the Cowboys. He has had 11 targets, 7 receptions, and 94 yards in the first two games. He will be a good pick-up for Week 3 when Dallas will try to regroup against the struggling Baltimore Ravens at home.
Jalen Nailor WR, (MIN), The Minnesota Vikings are heading into Week 3 2-0 and going up against the Houston Texans. The Vikings have some key wide receiver injuries through the two weeks of the season. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson went out on a hamstring injury on Sunday and wide receiver Jordan Addison has an ankle injury.
This leaves wide receiver Jalen Nailor. Nailor is going to get a lot of targets with both of Minnesota’s top wide outs out with injury. Nailor has had 5 targets, 4 receptions, 75 yards, and 2 touchdowns through two games. Nailor will be someone to consider and look out for the waiver wire for week three against Houston.
Quentin Johnston WR, (LAC), Johnston had a great outing against the Carolina Panthers. He has had 6 targets, 5 receptions, 51 yards, and 2 touchdowns. Quentin Johnston should have more targets flowing toward him with the uncertainty of the Chargers’ wide-out position. He looked comfortable as the game progressed against the Panthers. He will look forward to being more active in the Chargers offense.
Final Thoughts
These top 3 wide receivers can help any fantasy team this week heading into Week 3. For example, the Vikings are heading into Week 3 against the Texans and Nailor can have a big game with Jefferson out. Also, Quentin Johnston can have a big game this week with the getting more involved in the Chargers offense. Lastly, the Dallas Cowboys will like to find Tolbert in their offense against the Ravens at home and start getting back to winning games before its too late for Dallas.
