In this Fantasy Pros waiver wire analysis for week three, Jonah Coleman emerges as the top running back target due to his strong training camp performance, proven ability to bounce off contact, and high likelihood of receiving workload if key backups like RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins are injured. The Broncos’ Sean Payton consistently uses multi-pronged backfields, increasing Coleman’s upside. Denzel Boston is highlighted as a high-ceiling wide receiver with two standout touchdowns and physical tools, though his consistency and floor remain questionable, making him a better option for depth than a top-tier pick. The consensus leans toward Coleman as the primary waiver claim, especially for teams lacking running back depth. For wide receivers, Rashad Bateman is a surprise top-tier pick due to his strong performance and increased usage despite Flowers’ return. Other names like Adam and Mitchell, Trey Tucker, and Don Tavy receive attention for production and matchups, with Add Nye Mitchell standing out for upcoming matchups against the Lions and Bears. The top five waiver targets are Jonah Coleman, Denzel Boston, Emanuel Wilson (subject to Jadarian Price's availability), Adam and Mitchell, and Andy Gadsden. Bidding ranges reflect urgency: $16–$30 for Coleman and $10–$20 for Boston. The analysis also includes keeper/cut recommendations for underperforming players, emphasizing injury context and roster flexibility. Ultimately, the market remains cautious, with decisions heavily dependent on real-time injury updates and roster adjustments. Fans are encouraged to use Fantasy Pros’ waiver planner for tailored strategies and bid suggestions.

Start listening to Scam Goddess on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Let's get up, got it. 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 Pros. I'm Chris Welsh. We've got the athletic zone, Jake Sealey. Pat Fitzmorse 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 the number one waiver claim on that grouping. Mr. Pat Fitzmorse, before we dig into the two names, we're going to battle just as little T's. 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 from 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 Voltrons. Does the afternoon cartoon from scratch? This is everything you could possibly do. So that's your number one waiver wire. You turn that into number one. All right. I'll send it to people. I can't sell it. They'll come for me. Disney will come for me tomorrow. No, 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 going to have to make the call before we get the full information. But if you need 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 is 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 in 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, certain 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 RJ 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, three catches for 19 yards. We saw some usage. We saw some of the stuff that was getting hyped up. 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? No, so this actually comes down to even if I need why receiver help. I'm still probably going for Jonah Coleman unless we just get something Tuesday afternoon before waivers run and it's like, "JK demos is fine, this is precautionary." Because that's really what comes down to is that the extra if is, if there is no RJ Harvey, we're talking about a potential top 20 running back. Not the greatest matchup in week three, but the volume will all set it because he'll be a bell cow and Sean Payton's terms of being a bell cow. But with no RJ Harvey and no JK Dobbins, I mean, the workload is going to be there. If RJ Harvey is there, he's still going to split and be in the RJ Harvey role. But the point being is that if Coleman is in the Dobbins role, we know that can be an RV two, three. Hopefully a little touchdown luck comes your way. But that's why I would say Coleman, unless you're just desperate for why receiver. And even then, I probably still go for Coleman because you don't want to be chasing running backs in week eight, nine, 10, 11, trying to chase who's the next one up. And Jeremiah Love gets heard again in Tallahale's year and splitting with someone. Remember, bam night for like two straight years. This is what you don't want to be doing a week 11. So I would go Coleman nine times at a 10, even if like I said, the only case I wouldn't is if we get JK Dobbins isn't missing any time come tomorrow, which I don't think is going to happen. All right, maybe it's not going to be as much of that. And every week, this isn't designed for us to be battling them out. They're just that we've lacked some consensus. Fidzy is the consensus pushing even more Coleman here, like obviously we have the running back lean. But same question, if all things are even here, do you want Jonah Coleman over Denzel Boston regardless? Or is it closer? I want Coleman over Denzel Boston for the immediate opportunity, just the running back value. And if we were talking like Dynasty value, I think I'd want Boston. You know, if we redid Dynasty rookie drafts, I might take Boston over Carl Nelte. Like I think he's probably the number one wide receiver in this rookie class. And there was, we'll get to him soon with Coleman. I just, there's this immediate opportunity if both Dobbins and Harvey miss week three or possibly beyond, beyond. There is probably immediate opportunity regardless, just because we know Sean Payton always rolls with multi-pronged backfields. That's just how he is. And even if Dobbins and Harvey are out this week, Tyler Bade is going to get snaps for the Broncos. So it's not going to be like 30 carries for Jonah Coleman. But there was a lot of positive momentum with Jonah Coleman in training camp. By all accounts, he had a very good training camp, earned the trust of Sean Payton. He's a good pass blocker, good pass catcher, good runner, not fast at all. Pretty slow for running back, actually, but bounces off contact. Like he is a fire hydrant man. This guy is hard to bring down. And I like that the vibes on him yesterday were immaculate. Like the way he with the Broncos, trying to salt away the clock late, runs for a first down, immediately goes down in bounds right near the sideline to kill, you know, keep the clock rolling, not give a free stop clock edge to Jacksonville. I like how he, after his touchdown, did the mile high salute pay tribute to Terrell Davis, talked about it afterwards and like, paying respect to his elders. The Broncos fans are going to eat that stuff up, man. Like this guy feels like a Broncos running back and I want it. Fab, you guys are both using a number one waiver claim then what does the fab look like for Jonah Coleman Pat? We recommended, like our recommended bid in the article was $16, but if you desperately need him, we put a recommended bid of $29. Wouldn't be surprised if some people go up to 30. So 16 to 29% or dollars. So Jake, same thing. What, what fabric injury you in on Coleman? That's actually, I was going to say 25 to 30%. So, okay, and that's what I don't care what my need is. This is why like you said on Sunday morning, I was doing the same thing go pick him up because RJ Harvey was out and anything could happen with JK Dobbins. I compared Jonah Coleman to Frank Gore in the draft, but not obviously like that's peak, peak, peak best, but like I see fits nodding because that's the bouncing off tackles and everything. The one question would have saved is a follow up for fits when we talked and so Boston, 'cause there's something like through in there that I'm kind of curious what it means by it. But yeah, I would definitely go to 25 to 30. I put it this way, if you went zero RB and you only have one running back or like you're struggling with your number two, like your number two, you're playing the tileology or game to start the season as their number two, I might even go 35 to 40 depending on how needy you are. I mean, you're probably gonna, like you're not, but fit set because there's probably somebody else who's thinking the same thing is like this might be your one early shot at a running back. All right, so let's do Denzel Bossence. We're here and we're sitting on it. It wasn't as much of a debate as we thought it might be when we were planning for it. But Denzel Bossence, you know, nothing is a throwaway here, a couple productive weeks. So Jake, feel free to throw your question in that you had because I want to get you guys to take of Fab. Well, where Fab is going to be on Denzel Bossence overall. - So first, and then I'll toss the question to you, fit, so you can just kind of take over. But like, I'd say 10 to 15%. I still think that, look, he's out there the most. Conception still is the third. And the problem is like, and we think he's going to get more opportunities with Judy Barely going into any relevance at this point. But I do think that if you're looking at it, this comes down to the quarterback, which is why I don't go higher because I actually prefer to Sean Watson at quarterback for the rest of the season for Boston, then switching to Shoot or Sanders. And I don't know if Watson's the quarterback for the entire year, given that it's to Sean Watson. I mean, he looked pretty good in that game. And he's going to be the one that takes more deep shots than Sanders. I think to Boston, I think Sanders will spread around and go back to fan in a little bit more, maybe even use conception on a little bit more. So that's why I say, like 10 to 15% kind of feels like the range and maybe that's a little bit aggressive. But that's kind of like the feel the need is that we're talking about somebody's going to be a wide receiver three. High ceiling, very low floor, could get one for 13. And that's it. We've had two really great games in a row with the touchdowns, but that's not going to hit every single week. So the question I had for FITZ is because he said, I would redo my redinies to your rankings. Is that based off the situations they're in now? That's not, you're not talking about like the talent we thought they were coming out of college. Or did you change your opinion on the talent? That was my question. Based on the--
The buzz that Boston was generating in training camp, like beat writers were throwing about him like back in July, like how he instantly looked like he belonged and like he might be a future star. By the end of training camp, like it was just a given that this guy was going to be really good based on, you know, some of you're in. I wish I could remember the name of the athletics beat writer for the Browns, but I remember him. Jackson. Yeah, making, making that point with Robert Mays on the athletic football show. Like, and, and Concepcion highly regarded too, like they found a terrific pair of wide receivers. But I think Boston, with his physical tools, man, and, you know, we saw him lay out for that beautiful 46 year touchdown catch in week one. We saw him break two or three tackles for that long catch and run touchdown in week two. We almost saw him get a second touchdown in week two when to Dishon Watson's credit. He threw a great ball to Boston in the end zone and Boston just kind of juggled it a little bit. Couldn't hang on. But man, he just looks like a difference maker. He looks like a dude. And so I agree with Jake on the, the spand, like our recommended spend is 10 and our desperation spand recommendation is 20. Okay. So if you actually, yeah, I'm curious one more. You know, if this is so like with after they drafted them together because the funny thing as I said that I thought that Boston could be like Cortland Sutton, I actually felt like it was a Cortland Sutton, Jerry Judy, Perry, like similar to the Broncos, but like they didn't really have the great, the bare seasons together. But I felt like that was kind of like we might get, you know, 90% of those two together with the Browns. And I'm sure the Browns are hoping for Sutton plus, Judy plus with both of those. Yeah. Anything Judy plus should be easy at this point. Anything plus and it might be with Watson. All right. So if you guys are looking for a running back or wide receiver, the which winner you're not, those are the two guys that you're going to put a hyper focus on what the fab looks like and where we're putting them all together, but let's look at the positions as a whole. We'll go to running back here in a second, but I want to give you guys a chance to win the ultimate symbol of fantasy glory.

And then that's it. We'll be announcing a winner right here on the channel. So turn on notifications. So you don't miss a chance to claim this championship belt and flex on your entire league. All right. So let's start with running back waivers for the week. The top name you guys are both in agreement. It is Jonah Coleman. Obviously, he's the number one overall guy. So that makes that easy. He is the number one player here. Last week, we did kind of have a consensus, I think, on the top guy and in black, but you know, it wasn't as exciting. This has like starter potential. But the rest of the position, now, I'm going to throw out a couple names here for some usage. I'm a manual Wilson ended up getting obviously because of Jadarian price. And that might change your guys is kind of vibe on where Wilson is. We saw a little bit out of Caleb Johnson. We saw a couple of the Eagles backs get some run. Fitsy, let's start with you. How are you navigating the running back waiver waters this week after Jonah Coleman? We've already kind of placed that out there. Is there some depth you want to focus on? Is there anybody or anybody's that you think are worth dropping a couple bucks on? I think so. But we are waiting more medical information on Sequan Barkley and on Jadarian price. I think with Barkley actually returned to the game after getting a stinger, he was back in the second half, which was a surprise, but you know, getting an MRI after and it's possible, they find something where they want to keep him out the next week or who knows possibly beyond that. And with Jadarian price X-rays on his chest injury, nothing serious, apparently, but it remains to be seen how long he could be out if at all. So I think we're going to be checking Twitter to see what the injury docs are saying early this week, what the odds are of tank Bigsby playing this week. And he did share work with Will Shipley, but I do think Bigsby has the more fantasy relevant role by far. A manual Wilson did share work with George Salani, but I think Wilson, Bigsby and Wilson are the early down guys. They're going to be the touchdown scores. They're going to be the guys who get double digit carries. Off, say, Juan Barkley and Jadarian price are out this week. So they're interesting. Caleb Johnson, a different story entirely. Why don't we have Jake talk about Bigsby and Wilson before we get to the kale. Yeah. Well, and a manual Wilson. So when I really, I was just with love for you to focus on here for a second, because I think Bigsby is my play over Shipley and it's like pretty obvious. Like if Barkley's out, like Bigsby's going to be a nice huge play. But I mean, do you think in how they used Wilson when price went out, that moving forward, that's establishing more of a role because it was always kind of, I think it was that kind of a team, Halani thing, George Lani, but it felt like, you know, the trust in a manual Wilson and some of the goal line stuff really pressed him. That should we be paying more attention to him, regardless of prices, injury, Jake, or was that just a kind of one, I was like, that was a card, a cardinal game, if you know what I mean. Well, so two things. Because first I want to roll it back and maybe on my island here, but I don't think this Bigsby thing's a smash. I said this in the preseason is like, I really think that Bigsby's like, this is one of those backfields that for years without Barkley has been split. I do think the split goes to Bigsby, but I do think there's odds that the Eagles, but I don't think it's going to be 65, 35, 70, 30 Shipley got a lot of the first touches before Bigsby started getting in there. So I don't, and again, that's an in-game adjustment. But I think if this ended up being 50, 50, I wouldn't be shocked. And that's why I just bring that up. So if we get terrible news on Barkley and all of a sudden, like people go bananas for Bigsby, I'd honestly still go Coleman, unless we get great news that I just wanted to bring that up for comparison. Like I don't think Bigsby's a smash top 15 top 20 running back. Do you mean like what if Barkley just as a hypothetical here barked himself for a month and goes on the audio? Well, that's different. I think that's what I wanted to make sure. If Dobbins and Barkley are out for equitable time, I'd still take Coleman, so that's what I'm saying. Okay. I think the splits will be similar, just in my opinion, and I may be wrong on this. I just, I just continue to go down that road. Manuel Wilson won, I get, but I am, I don't know, I watched the coach slap Jardarian price in the chest and they laughed. So like, are you really slapping to do it in the chest? If everything is like that concerning, I don't know, maybe I'm just reading into that too much, but I don't think price is missing time. And that being said, obviously I agree with Fitz. If price was missing time, you know, Wilson got the heavy bulk of those touches and, you know, Hollani would still be mixed in, but like, that's one where I think the split might be bigger. I think it might be way more, I mean, you know, Wilson than Hollani. So that's where I'm thinking for those. And then I was going to talk Caleb Johnson, but I'll let Fitz go back to that one. We can talk about him a little bit more because I'll throw out the other two names that we're glossing over. Malvin Camera, I don't really want, but if anything, we're going to happen at Chen like he's going to get touches, he was leading the touches to start that game. And then it flipped in the second half, which was weird because they were behind, which like, but whatever. So just go stash Camera, but this is where I'm bringing up desperation stashes Camera. And then desperation stash, AJ Dylan, he's the next man up, John, a lot of people missed that. Jonathan Brooks left the game late. He tapped himself out. If people didn't see that play, he went like this as soon as he went down. And there was the news afterwards that there's the groin again. And this pains me as somebody that like at Jonathan Brooks is like seventh round. Go ahead and draft them because he could take over because of the talent. He can't stay on the field, unfortunately. So AJ Dylan, deep, deep leagues, he's the next person up behind you, but you guys are both being very gentlemanly. You're like, no, you Caleb Johnson. Well, because you say Caleb Johnson, and then I listened to Fitz, like I listened. He said, well, save him get Jake's take on bigs, get in the rest. Well, one of you talk about Caleb Johnson, you both, if you're sick of me being gentlemanly, ask me my opinion about J, AJ Dylan. Yeah. Well, let's talk about Caleb Johnson, because we're teasing everybody. What's exciting here first, one quick point about the big B, the big B Shipley thing, Shipley did out snap bigs B, I think 2319, but bigs B at a touch on 57.7% of his snaps. And that's kind of how it is with early downbacks versus passing down backs. So bigs B fewer snaps, but he outtouched Shipley 15 to 9 Caleb Johnson. So everyone kind of assumed that Marshal Lloyd was the direct back up to Josh Jacobs, kind of got a surprise when he was out snapped by Chris Brooks in week one might been situational Chris Brooks, the better past blocker to pick up that Viking splits. We did see Marshal Lynch start sort of as the primary ball carrier for the Packers behind a pretty bad offensive line. But late in that we did see Caleb Johnson get a little bit of run, then late in that game with the Packers down seven ball in their own territory, Marshal Lloyd loses a fumble. Just take it up, can't go anywhere, but kick a field goal that puts them up 10. It seemed like that was going to be the game. Then we start seeing more of Caleb Johnson actually looked pretty good, looked a little more bursty and just effective than Marshal Lloyd. So they both want to play the same number snaps 16, but Johnson wound up leading the team in rushing 30 yards on eight carries. So now it's going to be messy, I think, I mean, it's possible, based on that fumble, Lloyd has already gotten passed by Caleb Johnson on the depth chart. And Chris Brooks, we know is still going to be the passing down back, same situation where it's going to be a two person backfield. The question is whether it's Marshal Lloyd, Caleb Johnson.
Which of those guys as the main or possibly like you know exclusive early down back? Or is it some kind of Anders? Yeah, it could be some sort of really messy split it's he is Caleb like number two on the RBS for you No, well right now I've tentatively got him behind Bigs B and Emmanuel Wilson But that could very much change depending on the injury information we get on Sequon and Jadair in price Okay, Jake and your Caleb Johnson now, sir. How would you like to Caleb Johnson this? So that was the best looking game of Caleb Johnson's NFL career, which isn't saying much That's a very low bar like let's be clear about that all that being said I got hate when I called in Tyler out of your coming out of college like Tyler out of your garbage But that's where I just want put that perspective if we knew Tyler out of your was in this backfield People would be like oh, he's gonna be the number one. He's gonna get most of the volume And he'll be a fine RB - and that's where I bring up like there is upside for Caleb Johnson if he breaks free I think this is gonna be a mess similar to the commander situation, which is I threw that out Which you have all three of whom you have a pass catcher You have early downs and like who knows what it might be but Marsh on Lloyd through two games like he broke out He got more touches in week one and the second half which looked like it was starting to turn and that would carry over into game Two which is started to carry over in game two Chris broke still involved in passing downs But it was starting to but he didn't look very effective in that game Let's be honest like and then you bring up everything if you're sitting there like took the names off all the jerseys Don't know who these players are Caleb Johnson came out that game looking the best So you take a chance on them and that's where I will agree like if Price is healthy and fine It's Joe and Coleman then just on the upside Caleb Johnson because I will stash Caleb Johnson and Barfley's healthy I will stash Caleb Johnson the chance that he breaks through and becomes the lead option even 50% of the time in front of Camara and Dylan and Shipley and Bigs Being all that because all these are a bunch of ifs and they're kind of like messy ifs you shoot for ceiling go for the ceiling here Although we we do have to mention the Josh Jacobs thing and that we haven't gotten any sort of NFL Punishment yet, but I think a lot of people are expecting six games and I'm guessing if they do give him six games It's going to be six games plus time served. Yeah, so for the two games already Yeah, it's been set up I'll add in when you're up to but it's it's been set a couple different spots that The expectation is they're going to Blink it in what he's been on the exemplest as part of it and it's gonna be four to six so we're getting a week seven We're just gonna be like hey week seven. You're good to go. Yeah, well, but it's also a very messy situation where yeah, you know The it was the tape was asked to be sealed and a judge denied it So maybe there'd be more information here soon, but that definitely can play into it Is any of the are any of these guys that we've talked about over? You know five bucks and I obviously picked me a five percent is good. No. Yeah, I think okay Same thing Pat any of these guys over five percent five bucks. Yeah, and the waiver article I recommended four piece unwelson and Tank but like you might want to go to eight if you're the sake one stakeholder and you're betting on bigs Yeah, I mean, I really wouldn't want to blow close to 10% of my budget on either of these guys, but Yeah, you might be desperate.

We have a little bit more consensus unlike last week where you guys both agree Obviously the top pick is Boston So you can kind of see once we get to the top five what this is gonna look like But there are some other interesting names one of the most interesting ended up being probably one of the better waiver calls We all could have had whoever was promoting it Tara and I were joking every other word out of our mouths was bateman We were just bateman bateman bateman mine mine You know, we're like the the birds from finding Nemo or whatever mine And that's what we were we were shot bateman and it worked out 12% roster percentage I just want to put like a stop on him for a second How much are you going to trust moving forward? We'll start with you Jake Do you have any trust with him moving forward knowing that you know flowers is going to be back? Was this more of a one-off situation, you know? Should you be a little bit should people be more aggressive with bateman with how he was used and how productive he was in week two? Yeah, I said it last week and I'll say it again He was the clear number two he was the clear number two and moved around the offensive line Declan Doyle is using him a little bit differently than they have in the past So I think there's upside even with flowers is back mostly because watching that game too It wasn't just that bateman was the guy and did everything that you could hope for filling in Is that mark Andrews had every opportunity to like rebound of being mark Andrews and He had all the targets. He's touched on our bust even with targets at this point like mark Andrews looks Then I'm like compared to mark Andrews level of play. He's washed compared to his old level play like that's what it is And he's just in the tight end twos at this point. So that's why I bring it up because was a flowers. Let's assume he's back this week Against Dallas telling bateman can't do it again. I mean, there'll be games where it's dare canary scoring three touchdowns and whatever But that's why bateman's in the Y receiver three four conversation But being in the Y receiver three or four conversation going back the last week. He was one of my top pickups It's one of my top pickups of again this week like yeah, go get Rashad bateman You called and you called it too. Yeah, it was a great call because I don't think he was even originally like even on the list and you had Individually put him on here. So it was a really great call. I was one of the highest rankers of them last week too Yeah, hopefully I beat you because I moved him up But I probably didn't pat same thing with Rashad bateman roster percentage around like 12. Yeah, you probably were higher 12% Do you think moving forward even if Zay comes back? This is someone that we want to be a little bit aggressive on waivers this week for I'm open to the possibility. He's more consistently involved in the Declan Doyle offense that he has been in the past but I'm also Open to the possibility that he could go right back to being the same sort of big play Boomer bust and usually it would be boom and then bust bust bust bust bust It just basically hard to trust him with Zay flowers around so You know, I wouldn't mind giving him a roster spot, but I'd be nervous about starting him any week when Zay is there Did you find that I know you're like I can you can see look at James just joy just trying to look and find out he was
I was in highest though. I beat you by five spots. All right, that's actually significant. Shout out Hayden Winks at 35. There you go. That's pretty good. I didn't have, I thought I had Bateman inside the top 35 or something like that. Yeah. 46. Whoa. That's a lot. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll probably go a little bit less. Jake is tired. Sorry. Barkley. My bad. All right. The next three wide receivers, I'm going to put these guys in kind of a grouping here. And just as a reminder, at the end of the show, we're going to go through what the top five waivers looks like for both of these guys. So if you're looking for orders, just do that. But these three wide receivers and not necessarily in a particular order, but you guys can put them together. Jake at night, Mitchell, 16% roster percentage. He's getting used a bunch more. You're finally seeing, you know, some of that route running and deep play ball just continuously happen. Trey Tucker, big number one, big day this week and Don Tavy and Wicks, six targets, five for 74. He did it again. Both Tucker and Wicks are 28% roster percentage. All these guys are relatively out there. What's your ordering of these three guys? And do you have like one level of top interest in those three? Should I ask Barkley? Please don't. My ears can't look at anyone. I've never had a dog bark that loud like into a microphone that it hopefully they're able to mute it because it was the they're coming by for the recycling. There's one easy name. This is going to go back to the basement thing. It's Adam and I Mitchell. Like, Adam and Mitchell, the talent was much better than what he's been in the NFL. But all the concerns coming out of college manifested themselves in the NFL so much so that he ended up on the jets. Like, this is basically you got what you expected to get. Like, that's what we thought of Adam and Mitchell. But now he's producing which oh, by the way, you know, Smith, capable quarterback, which is all we asked for for the jets. Garrett Wilson had a huge day and Adam and I Mitchell continues to be the number two. And that's really what it comes down to is Cooper's out for an extended time. I know Sadeek at some point is on the heels that possibly pushing it tight end. But Adam and I Mitchell's the number two. The Tucker thing. You want to talk about what fits with saying about Batman. That's Traitucker. Big game. Goose, a goose, a goose, a goose, a goose, a goose, a goose, a goose, a goose, a goose, a goose. Big game. Cool. Like seven weeks down the road. You tell me when that's going to happen. And I'll probably pop more frequently than he has been fast. But we've done this Traitucker game. They're on TV and Wix one. We're probably be right behind Mitchell for me. But I don't know if this is because God got hurt or something else happened. But that the Darius Cooper touchdown came when Wix started losing snaps to Cooper. Actually, it was coming off the field. I won't hopefully beat reporters explain this or maybe there's an injury we don't know about. But Wix was sally locked into the number two. The fact that McKay Lemon is a long term play and completely off the radar outside of stashing for the middle of the season. Like we talked about before. But all that being said, Wix would feel more siled. And I probably would even have Wix in a conversation with Mitchell. If not for that fourth quarter snap count. That's like, I want to know what was going on there. Okay, so 50 same thing. This is an ordering of these three. Do you and the lowest roster percentage guy is at Nigel? Do you agree? Add Nye of this group is the top play? Or are you looking at these other, you know, pretty productive? I mean, I know I get the argument about Tucker. But Tucker is like the theoretical number one, you know, Bowers is healthy. But I get it. But number one, like wide receiver, how are you ordering this and does add Nye take the top spot? Same as Jake Mitchell, Wix, Tucker agree with Jake. Like I think I like add Nye Mitchell far more than Wix or Tucker, because yeah, they're they're concerns with both Tucker and Wix, the inconsistency with Tucker. And then Brock Bowers is going to come back soon. And then like number one receiver doesn't mean that much in Las Vegas. Trade Tucker sort of split snaps with Jalen Nailer and Jack Bash. And they also rotated in three other wide receivers. Malik Benson and a couple of other guys. So number one receiver in Las Vegas, not a lot to that title. And actually, let's go say the number one wide receiver on target and reception is Ash and Gentie. So there you go. That's bad say. Gentie is kind of like the de facto. The number one, the number one and two wide receivers are not wide receivers. Right. The wide receivers are purely supporting cast with the Raiders in that offense. You know, and Wix also saw a big snap production from week one and week two, like around 90% week one. And I think under 60% in week two. So like Jake said, it's hard to know what's up with that, but a little concerning and beneath the surface stats for Wix, which were good in week two, some underlying usage concerns. Add Nye Mitchell, Jake said it. He's the number two. In addition to the six catches yesterday, also drew a long pass interference penalty against the Packers. Unlike a 50 yard bomb down field, I think he's going to be, you know, a vertical guy for Geno Smith. And what's really appealing about Add Nye Mitchell are the next two matchups. They play the lions who have allowed over 600 passing yards and six touchdown passes in their first two games without Brian Branch and Kirby Joseph as the safeties. They are just, you know, sitting docs in the secondary. And then the Chicago Bears, a bottom five defense in week four. So like, get Mitchell, now and you can play him the next two weeks. What's the fab then look like, Fitsy? We've got it. See, the thing is Add Nye Mitchell, like there is not a lot of appeal to that name brand right now. Like his name is kind of mud and fantasy circles. So I think you can get him for $3. Okay. Let me just, I guess, devil's advocate for a second, though. You're saying that and you guys are sitting on here spouting the good word of Add Nye Mitchell. You are pushing up the market. So if you guys are suggesting three, could you go to like what Jake said? Could you go a little bit more? Could you go five to six or seven? I mean, because, because you're, you know, you're building up the market a little bit. The way the waiver article this week lists six is the desperation. Oh, you really need a receiver for the next two weeks, spend six, fab seven. Here you go. How many of your friends watch this network or read my stuff at the athletic and read fit stuff? There you go. That, you know, you need to be more aggressive. Exactly. There's a much equation somewhere to that. Yeah. I pulled up the snap. This is so crazy. Not only did Wix run fewer routes. The entire game. Them a Kyle lemon. That take that in for a second. Let that sink in. The fourth quarter, 58% of the routes for Wix. Something like, there's got to be something there. Like something happened. That was with our 88% from lemon. And we're gonna talk about lemon here in just a minute. The last two we have like is like kind of just notes here. But these are kind of related to injuries if DJ Moore has an injury. There's kind of a Khalil Shakir. Khalil Shakir just gets it like, I don't want to go over 50% when we look at like Yahoo, roster percentage and he's 46% Keon Coleman had some moments. And then obviously there's this Alec Pierce situation and then kind of throws out to Keenan Allen. Jake, I'll just throw to you. What are your, what's your take here? I mean, I can't imagine Khalil Shakir is available in a lot of these spots, but it is under, you know, it's only 46%. So if he is, he seems like kind of an obvious ad. But what's your just quick take on the Coleman Shakir and then Keenan Allen spot? I'm not going to aggressive on either one of them because it's just going to be the bills of last year. Neither ones equipped to be an NFL number one wide receiver. Can they be a number two? Absolutely. But I think we're going to go right back to what the bills were last year, which means good luck guessing which game that they show up because it's the Josh Allen James Cook and now don't engage show. So I'm not going to aggressively on either one of them. Keenan Allen almost made my top five and I sat there and thought about more this morning. There's a name that's not even on the list. That's now my fifth that plays for the Chicago Bears. And I really think that like, if I'm looking at a three with the potential for more, who might not have actually even be the three, but Keenan Allen, I would assume outpears. This is me, not a doctor. I would assume that outpears. If it's the same foot, I know they said it's not exactly the same injury, but it's still the heel is still something like he's going to be gone for some time. I think that Keenan Allen is the clear number three. You just feel better about downs and Tyler Warren at this point, but deeper leagues. Keenan Allen is a YRVC for four or five if you need it because there are people who watch this show. They're in a 14 plus team leagues. Fitsy, if the DJ Moore is out for a little bit to one of those bills wide receivers do anything for you, like to be aggressive that would move up your list. And then you can talk on Helen. She cares, got a PPR floor. That's about it. Like higher floor low ceiling. We know the ceiling is really limited, you know, basement, rec room kind of ceiling. And Kean Coleman, I just, I feel like the week two surge was sort of context. Got to put that in the context of the Detroit secondary, which is just in ruins right now. All right. Second half of the show that it's a lot of quick kidding stuff coming up here in a second, where we are going to be talking about some players to keep her cut. And then obviously that big top five. But let's talk about quints. You know those pieces in your closet that you find yourself wearing on repeat, the sweater that goes with everything, the perfect pair of pants or the tea, you somehow always reach for first. Those are the pieces that make getting dressed easy. And that's what quints does best. For me, the performance stretch, technical dress pants, I pick those up. Those have changed the absolute game for me. They fit right, they look good. And I could wear them every single day. And maybe I'm wearing them right now, no big deal. Quints focuses on high quality wardrobe stables, like made with premium materials, like a hundred percent Mongolian cashmere, organic cotton and marina wool.

All right, gentlemen, we are going to do some keep or cut. Last week, I think we had some important names here. We're not going to sit at the dance super long with these, but I have put together, we've got six, six to seven names here. We are going to just kind of plow through. So, number one, and then
And you know, have like a sentence with it and then cut or keep, Pat Fitzmars, McIleman. He was one for 14 on one target, two straight weeks. Keep or cut. Man. I want to hold on a little longer just because of the talent, didn't sound confident. Jake, keep or cut McIleman. So this is what we said at the end of the preseason is that he's a long term stash. Not everybody can have that luxury at this point. My biggest regret is not that I said long term stash is that even taking him in like the 9/10th round as a long term stash, you're probably going to add him for free at this point. But I want to give him more time, especially to see what that wick situation in O'Dalus got it potentially changes things. But one more week. And if you're in a 10 team league, you probably have to move on. If Denzel Boston is out there and you can only talk McIleman, okay, I think that's important to know. All right. Number two, Quentin Johnston, he was one for seven on five targets. And the main thing I bring this up that week one was bad, but also you got the whole like lad is banged up. This was an opportunity and it was another failure. That's a big part of the offense. So if it's keep or cut Quentin Johnston, the only reason I want to keep him is because Mike McDaniel did such a good job of like scheming catch and run opportunities to his wide receivers in Miami. And I thought that was going to be right up Quentin Johnston's alley. But get this do the ball quickly and let him run and break tackles and it just hasn't happened yet. I want to give it another week or two, but I'm not holding on tightly at this point. Jake Keeper, cut Quentin Johnston. I'd keep lemon before I kept Quentin Johnston because here's the biggest thing is I feel like you're going to get fooled into starting them after you bench and bench and bench. And he goes off on your bench and then boom, because hey, let's do it. Let's look at the schedule at Buffalo at Seattle Denver at Kansas City. Buy at L.A. Rams Houston at home at Baltimore. They might not get a win till Thanksgiving week when they play the Jets at home starting that week with a 22nd like this offense. Like I mentioned before, I don't remember if I did it on this in the rank show, the Eli Manning comparison, all new overhauled offenses take time even for accomplished quarterbacks. However, this looks as broken as broken can be and it's going to take time. And I don't know how you get right with that schedule. It's fair. Ken, are you ready to any of that? This is going to be another tough one. Number three on the list, Jonathan Brooks, he was five for 16, caught one pass for negative five yards. I know the draft equity, but I'm bringing it up because Chuba clearly has a strangle hold on. But maybe this is still just the build up into mid season. So again, again, you have to put the context of all of these into like, you know, roster crunches and stuff. Maybe if Jonah Coleman and Denzel Boston are out there, Fitsy, keep her cut, Jonathan Brooks. Please day to day keep if we hear the phrase week to week caught Jake keeper cut, Jonathan Brooks. I think we're going to hear day to day. I don't want to give up on running backs, clearly the number two. But if he's healthy, so I, but if Jonah Coleman, I make the swap and then if we get worse news and some of those other running backs, you make the swap and like Fitsy said, if it's week to week, you just kind of move on at this point. Okay. Yeah. And I think that's a good, a good approach here is like the number one waiver claim is kind of the approach to the keeper cut. Are you going to, you know, do you guys want to keep all the guys? But then it's like if Jonah Coleman's in there, you actually don't want to make those moves. So say, and I think these other ones are going to become a little bit easier. Kenny Gainwell, two for ten, three for five in the air, Bucky Irving, I mean, Fitsy, victory lap, a Bucky Irving here, but keep keeper, keeper cut Kenny Gainwell. This, I think this is, I mean, we know where this is going to lean. Oh, yeah. I've been team Bucky even through the great Kenny Gainwell hype of April and May. Cut. Jake. I'm, I'm not cutting a number two. I mean, for, for Jonah Coleman, sure, but I'm just, I'm not cutting number two running backs because we just want to happen this week. So it, yeah, if you need it, like there's names we've mentioned that like for Boston, for at an I mentioned, if you have the running back depth, but if not needed, don't give away RB twos that are clearly going to get borderline workload content or touches. Yeah. They're not just for anything here. Yeah. All right. I would, I would, I would cut Brooks before I cut Gainwell, as much as that pains me. That, that really pains me. But I would that, that's not the injury. It's the groin again. Well, with the injury context. Okay. Uh, Rico Doudal, Fitsy, keeper cut man. He played more snaps than Jalen Warren and week one and then Warren just dwarfed his snap chair in week two, like, did Rico get hurt? Yeah. Did he get banged up? Okay. I missed that. Then I'm not cutting down. Okay. Or cut of all of them. I'm keeping Rico Doudal so far. Uh, Wando Robinson with the who times, uh, Wando Robinson, Fitsy, I'll jump ahead, cut all Titans. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I said that in the priest. I don't have a single Titan on any of our rosters. What? Yeah. Wondale. Wondale needs volume. He's a, you know, it's high, like low calorie PPR stuff and he's not getting past catching volume in this offense. Uh, last one I'm putting on here because he has a 91% roster percentage and I just want to hit this on because I brought him up last week. Keeper cut Marvin Harrison, Mr. Pat Fitzmorris after zero catches on one target, 91% roster percentage on Yahoo. I'm okay with cutting him. You're okay. Are you more than okay with cutting him, Jake? Are you holding? I was doing this because on my podcast with Annie Barron's last week, we sabotaged dropped him live on the show for everybody. So if you were us, he's not even on your roster. He's already cut. So there you go. Let's take it ready. Go ahead and cut him again and let somebody else go try to pick him up. Here's the biggest thing. That's how much I get rid of him. His route percentage dropped like that. That's even more damning. Yeah. I don't care that your Kobe percent was hurt or whatever. What is like? This is this. Yeah. Let him run wind sprints for a different team. Let's go with our top streamers for the week. We got quarterback title and defense and kicker. Obviously, Fitz, you will cover the extra kicker because Jake just abstains from it. Jake, why don't you? Are we not? I thought that'd be good. Because he could do two kickers or just he's the one to give it like I still do it. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. But that's how it works. But see, the ones you start us off quarterback tight end defense just run through them. So if collars back against the Tampa Bay Bucks defense, I'm going for collars. If collars not back. Yeah. Look, Drew Locke understands the assignment. There's one person and one person only you're throwing the ball to and Seattle heads to Washington this week. So there's your quarterback. Am I going through all of them? I forget. Go through them, please. Don't shults. He was last week. Against the Colts to tie it in. We saw what Travis Kelsey did against the Colts. And then the defense is I would go with the bills or chiefs. I think they're both intriguing plays. The bills at home against the chargers who are broken as hell. And then the chiefs head to Miami, even with Malik will still be in a decent fancy option. The turnovers potential and the chiefs defense still looks pretty good. So back no low against Malik will is check mark about all those 49ers are going to get beat by the dolphins from some of our co-workers there. How about that one? Fitsy, your quarterback tight end defense kicker. Geno Smith talked about this with Ad9 Mitchell, Geno as matchups against the Lions and bears the next two week. Good streaming opportunity at tight end Pat Fryermuth. And we are looking at this matchup against the Bengals who gave up the most catches, receiving yards and touchdowns to tight ends last year. Pat Fryermuth had a five catch 111 yard two touchdown game against the Bengals in week seven of last year. Bengals just gave up in week two 12 catches and 140 yards to Dome Shultz. They cannot defend tight ends defense. I like Jake selections, but the Saints are legit. That is by far the best team in the NFC South and they play Kirk Cousins and the Raiders in week three. That looks like a pretty good matchup and a kicker. Let's go with Tyler Bass and Daniel Carlson. People have still forgotten about bass who missed the entire 2025 season with the sports tourney, but he is playing the bills who have scored almost 80 points in their first two games. Like you want a competent kicker tied to a good offense, bass checks both of those boxes. And Daniel Carlson again, the Saints are really legit. Carlson kicks indoors for the next three weeks at home in New Orleans, a kicker tied to the Saints. Go for it. All right.

All right. Let's take a look at our top five overall fitsy run through your top five. And if you want to throw some little waiver bids on there as well, you should clearly go check out the waiver article that fitsy's got. That's going to be a big coverage for you and you feel free to plug that at the end fits. But give us your top five with what fab you're attaching to them or relative fab. Yeah. Jonah Coleman tops the list at somewhere from $16 to $30. And so Boston next, I think $10 to $20. Emanuel Wilson. I've tentatively have at number three. But again, that depends totally on jittering price. He could be off this list of prices, just a okay, I should probably have Adnan Mitchell ahead of Emanuel Wilson. Jake and I both like Adnan. He's the clear number two target. And again, great matchups coming against the lions and bears the next two weeks. And then one guy want to throw in at number five. We haven't talked about. Andy Gadsden, the second David the joke who carted off with an injury in week two. So all of a sudden, a messy three tight end rotation now is down to two.
it's Gadsden and Charlie Kohler. And last year, let's not forget that over a four week stretch in the middle of the season, Gadsden was the fantasy tight end one, producing like a monster for a little while. We know there's talent there and he's only 23. All right, Jake, your top five and some fab bids that you might be attaching to some of these players. So we talked about the fab is top two, general Coleman Desino, Denzel Boston, exact same. I go ahead and add in my, add in my Mitchell number three. We talked about it like five, 10. You might actually have to go a little bit higher, depending on how locked in people are in your league to this show and others reshawed. Bateman is number four. I'm going to continue to hammer that one. And that's telling you how I feel about Mitchell that he's in front of reshawed Bateman at three and four. So similar bid five to 10. I think people are still hesitant. Oh, one of the comments on my article last week was like, stop talking about Bateman. Like, I don't know if that was good or bad thing. Like you're just tired of hearing about it or stop telling everybody about him. And then number five, like I get the Gadsden one, that's a good call, especially that that situation. And then Kohler actually was outsnap by Gadsden even after the Joku injury. So that's intriguing there. But I'll take a chance on this. Cliff Raymond. I like, I know like, like, it's crazy because he's done number three. But with the fact that Tyson badge and coming in and how this offense is working with Cliff Raymond, maybe that's the mistake to make is that's not Caleb Williams. But he's getting more targets than anybody not named Luther Burton. Like, he's not out there 90% like boot, like, uh, uh, doons, I is, but burden isn't either. And Cliff Raymond, it's just they continue to use him, continue to use him, continue to use him. Like, this is a 14 teamer. This is a stash on your bench. The Steve, it continues. This isn't go lock him into your lineup next week. But I don't want to be sitting here two weeks from now and being like, man, we should have paid more attention to Cliff Raymond. A wonderful Ben Johnson is still shooting for the NFL scoring record. Yeah. I'll start scoring 68 team to make up for it now. A little failure to launch here, but just in a quick last little minute thing, but we're waiting on the Caleb news. We obviously know the J and Daniel news. If you're in a super flex, we should probably be pretty clear. Like the quarterbacks are going to jump up here. Marcus, Maryota is going to be, do you guys have a mark? I would imagine Maryota is going to be over Beijing because we also don't know the Caleb exact Caleb situation. Right. What bid in the same context, would you guys give on Maryota, uh, Jake, you can jump into it? Like, uh, everything. Uh, I want to go everything, but you're going to have to be close to it. I want to save some, especially like they said, they said, Jay and Daniel should come back this year. Like we have to off the sea from him because there was no fracture. We have to wait on the ligament issue, which, but he returned. What was it? Six or eight weeks? Last time something similar happened. So like both Caleb Williams and Jay and Dan, like, if either one of them was out for the rest of the year, yeah, you go and like, try to save yourself a few bucks, so you're not completely blown out of the water. But if they're both like, let's just call them both six weeks. In my mind, I'm probably hovered in the 40 to 50 percent range. Okay. I wasn't say 60, but what do you think? Fitsy, uh, with like Maryota? Yeah. I mean, the demand for quarterbacks and super flex is probably going to require you to go at least 40 as gross as that is. But I will say that Maryota made eight starts last year. The first seven, the average, I believe 17.4 fantasy points per game left the eighth one early with a hand injury. So we'll leave that one out, but like he was good. And even though I think he turns what 33 next month, the dude still runs, like he still provides rushing value and he's been a competent passer. Man, quarterback, the quarterback injuries. But we can tell you, don't forget about a weekly waiver wire live stream. And it's on the YouTube channel where you can come and ask specific waiver wire questions like if you want to dig more into the super flex side and, you know, maybe we're going to have a little bit more information at that time.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Jonah Coleman is the top waiver wire target for running backs due to his strong training camp performance, high workload potential, and immediate opportunity if key backups like RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins are out.
Denzel Boston is a high-ceiling wide receiver with explosive plays and strong physical tools, though his floor is low and consistency is uncertain, making him a secondary option for wide receiver needs.
Fantasy Pro’s waiver recommendations suggest a $16–$30 bid for Jonah Coleman and $10–$20 for Denzel Boston, emphasizing that both are viable only under specific injury or roster scenarios.
Summary:
In this Fantasy Pros waiver wire analysis for week three, Jonah Coleman emerges as the top running back target due to his strong training camp performance, proven ability to bounce off contact, and high likelihood of receiving workload if key backups like RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins are injured. The Broncos’ Sean Payton consistently uses multi-pronged backfields, increasing Coleman’s upside. Denzel Boston is highlighted as a high-ceiling wide receiver with two standout touchdowns and physical tools, though his consistency and floor remain questionable, making him a better option for depth than a top-tier pick.
The consensus leans toward Coleman as the primary waiver claim, especially for teams lacking running back depth. For wide receivers, Rashad Bateman is a surprise top-tier pick due to his strong performance and increased usage despite Flowers’ return. Other names like Adam and Mitchell, Trey Tucker, and Don Tavy receive attention for production and matchups, with Add Nye Mitchell standing out for upcoming matchups against the Lions and Bears.
The top five waiver targets are Jonah Coleman, Denzel Boston, Emanuel Wilson (subject to Jadarian Price's availability), Adam and Mitchell, and Andy Gadsden. Bidding ranges reflect urgency: $16–$30 for Coleman and $10–$20 for Boston. The analysis also includes keeper/cut recommendations for underperforming players, emphasizing injury context and roster flexibility.
Ultimately, the market remains cautious, with decisions heavily dependent on real-time injury updates and roster adjustments. Fans are encouraged to use Fantasy Pros’ waiver planner for tailored strategies and bid suggestions.
