Week 2 was a particularly tough one from an injury standpoint with Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart, Jayden Reed, Dallas Goedert and Alec Pierce among the players with concerns that could keep them out some length of time. That makes the Fantasy football waiver wire an important one ahead of Week 3 as Fantasy players look to plug lineup holes and add depth to their rosters.

Top Fantasy football waiver wire picks ahead of Week 3
One player Nagel is advising Fantasy players to target on the Week 3 waiver wire: Raiders receiver Tre Tucker. "Tucker appears to have emerged as the most fantasy relevant Raiders pass catcher not named Brock Bowers," Nagel said. "Tucker had five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 26-14 upset of the Chargers in Week 2. However, Tucker has carried a boom-or-bust fantasy profile throughout his career, as evidenced by his two catches for 27 yards in Week 1."
Nagel is also targeting Broncos running back Jonah Coleman. "Coleman is a priority add for managers who drafted Dobbins or RJ Harvey, who is dealing with his own hamstring injury that sidelined him in Week 2," Nagel said. "In our deeper leagues, we saw Coleman drafted in the later rounds, but we've also already seen him dropped in a couple of those. Moreover, anyone who drafted Dobbins or Harvey would have been wise to draft Coleman for insurance, but his modest roster share suggests that wasn't always the case.
