While we’re only a few weeks into the NFL season, some of you may not be thrilled with how your roster is turning out. We’ve also experienced a plethora of injuries that have the potential to crush your seasons. But don’t fret, the waiver write is brimming with playable replacements ahead of Week 3.

🐶 Jerome Ford RB - Browns (16% rostered)

With Nick Chubb leaving Monday Night’s contest with a presumably serious knee injury, Ford is someone to go for if you need RB help. He’s the next man up with the trust of the Browns’ staff and unless they decide to bring in Kareem Hunt or another free agent, Ford should be a valuable fantasy asset moving forward.

🐏 Tutu Atwell WR, Rams (25% rostered)

The sophomore WR has seen a 19.4% target share through two games and appears to have a legitimate role in the Rams offense along with rookie Puka Nacua without Cooper Kupp. Atwell has 13 receptions for 196 yards and should serve as a WR3 with WR2 upside for the foreseeable future, or until we see Kupp back on the field.

🦁 Josh Reynolds WR, Lions (12% rostered)

Reynolds has emerged as the second option in the Detroit offense with 13 targets through two contests. With many WRs injured around the league, Reynolds can provide a nice fill-in in your flex spot or as a WR3 for likely little FAAB budget.

 🧲 Zack Moss RB, Colts (53% rostered)

In his Indy debut, Moss had 18 rushing attempts and four targets which he turned into 107 combined yards and a touchdown. He’ll have at least two more contests before the possible return of Jonathan Taylor (PUP, ankle), which is no guarantee at this point based on Taylor’s desire to be traded elsewhere.

 🧀 Luke Musgrave TE, Packers (25% rostered)

The TE position seems to be a little more fruitful than in recent seasons with several viable options available on the waiver wire this week. Musgrave is third among Packers in targets through two games and is TE16 in half-PPR points per tilt thus far. Contests with the Saints, Lions, and Raiders before their Week 6 bye make Musgrave an enticing add this week.

Other Waiver Wire Candidates:

  • Tank Dell, WR-Texans (5%)

  • Hunter Henry, TE- Patriots (55%)

  • Roschon Johnson, RB - Bears (38%)

  • Marvin Mims, WR - Broncos (23%)

  • Craig Reynolds, RB - Lions (0%)

  • Matt Breida, RB - Giants (2%)
