An injury-laden Week 2 serves as yet another reminder that health is precious, and that skipping preseason is not ideal. Prior to SNF, we've seen the following offensive players injured to some degree: Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Davante Adams, Raheem Mostert, Cam Akers, Courtland Sutton, Parris Campbell, Sterling Shepard, Breshad Perriman, Jimmy Garoppolo, Drew Lock, and Tyrod Taylor. And that's not an exhaustive list! Sheesh. To help you navigate the aftermath, here is the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 3.
This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.
Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
