Sunday night means we've had another filling day of football action and are starting to peek forward to next week's chaos. As a reminder, this column is a quick reaction to get key names on your radar. We're out here sculpting winning rosters out of the early-season marble 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, to compliment our free new Who Should I Pickup for Fantasy Football? waiver wire player comparison tool.
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.
