The Week 3 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2021 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Sterling Shepard, Kenneth Gainwell, Rondale Moore & more.
If Week 1 is considered getting our feet wet then Week 2 has us at least waist-deep in the fantasy season. Some of you are feeling elated en route to 2-0 while others are pleading for reinforcements as 0-2 looms. No matter your team's status, we've got you covered in the pursuit of perfection with 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.
