Still reeling from a Primetime Kirk Cousins win? Yeah, me too. Did you also lose a fantasy matchup on that final Jalen Hurts interception? Oh, that was just me. Great. Well, the show must go on and in this Tuesday's edition of the Deep Dive Fantasy Newsletter, I’ll cover waiver wire adds, players to consider streaming for Week 3, and of course, the happenings over at 4for4.

Demarcus Robinson & Tyler Johnson, WR - Rams (41% & 11% rostered) Both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are sidelined, so one if not both of these guys will need to step up for this Rams offense. Upcoming matchups aren’t favorable, but the volume should be.

Ty Chandler, RB - Vikings (29% rostered) Aaron Jones is still the clear starter, but Chandler is averaging 10.5 touches per game and could have some stand-alone value if his passing work increases.

Samaje Perine & Carson Steele, RB - Chiefs (5% both rostered) Isiah Pacheco will miss 6-8 weeks with a leg injury so this duo will be taking over the backfield duties (unless they sign Kareem Hunt). Rookie Steele was a camp favorite of Andy Reid’s and Perine would likely be the pass-catching back.

Hunter Henry, TE -Patriots (24% rostered) - TE is gross no matter how you spin it and Henry likely won't put up 14.9 half-PPR points or even remotely close to it most weeks. However, he is an option and if he sees even close to the 44.4% target share he saw in Week 2, Henry could be a decent fill-in or even replacement for whoever you’re trotting out there right now.

Other Waiver Wire Candidates:

  • Bucky Irving, RB-Buccaneers (34%)

  • Khalil Shakir, WR- Bills (59%)

  • Quentin Johnston, WR - Chargers (8%)

  • Chuba Hubbard, RB - Panthers (48%)

  • Mike Gesicki, TE - Bengals (5%)
