Two weeks of NFL action are in the books, which means it’s time for owners everywhere to scour the waiver wire for the best Week 3 wide receiver claims. Looking around the league shows that players like Rondale Moore and Jamison Crowder have the best chance of positive production in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Note that, in order to qualify for this list, the player needed to be available in roughly 50% of leagues. Depending on the size of your league, there could be better options on the wire.<\/p>\n
Week 3 Wide Receiver Waiver Claims<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Full disclosure: this isn\u2019t a good week to need a wide receiver. Rondale Moore set the world on fire last week, recording seven receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. This is obviously a fantastic stat line, but it\u2019s worth noting that Moore was fourth on the team in snap count, which isn\u2019t ideal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Moore might not repeat his heroic performance in Week 3, but he\u2019s definitely worth rostering. He already looks like the second-best receiver on the team and, as a rookie, he should only get better with time. Additionally, Moore\u2019s explosive style of play means that he only needs one or two opportunities to put up a solid fantasy week. His snap share should improve as the season progresses, and he could end up being 2021\u2019s undrafted league winner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [pickup_prop id=”6857″]<\/p>\n Like I said, this isn\u2019t a good week to need a wide receiver. Jamison Crowder has yet to play a snap this season, but he should be good to go next week. Rookie quarterback Zach Wilson has not looked good thus far, but that doesn\u2019t mean that this offense is devoid of fantasy relevance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In two games without Crowder, slot receiver Braxton Berrios has recorded 13 receptions for 124 yards on 19 targets. Crowder is far more talented than Berrios and could be the top option in this passing attack as soon as next week. The volume should be there and, in fantasy football, you need to chase volume and hope efficiency follows.<\/span><\/p>\n Diontae Johnson was a \u201cmy guy\u201d<\/a> throughout the offseason, and my belief paid off through the first two weeks. Unfortunately, the receiver suffered a knee injury on the final play of Week 2\u2019s contest, and we don\u2019t yet know the severity. If he\u2019s gone for a while, James Washington could be a decent add. Ben Roethlisberger clearly isn\u2019t the player he once was, but he\u2019s still capable of throwing balls up to open receivers. We\u2019ve seen Washington succeed in the past, and he could be a good desperation add in deeper leagues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Big fan of this Matt Canada play call to James Washington. #Steelers<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/jyXEDjEs2i<\/a><\/p>\n — Josh Rowntree (@JRown32) September 15, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRondale Moore, Jamison Crowder Highlight Fantasy Football Week 3 Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Claims<\/strong><\/h2>\n
