Week 3 waiver wire chatter just dropped a bombshell, and our very own Emanuel Wilson, running back for the Seattle Seahawks, is front and center as a top-10 overall pickup! You heard that right, 12s, the man is making waves and fantasy analysts like Justin Boone are telling everyone to grab him. If you’re looking to bolster your squad, Wilson is officially a prime target, and his early season performance has clearly caught the league’s attention.
Hawks RB Wilson Making Moves and Young’s Explosive Start
Emanuel Wilson’s inclusion among the top-10 overall pickups for Week 3 is huge for fantasy players, putting him in elite company with guys like Jonah Coleman and Tank Bigsby. It’s awesome to see one of our own getting this kind of buzz so early in the season! Meanwhile, let’s talk about the fantasy world’s hottest quarterback, Bryce Young. The 25-year-old Panthers signal-caller is absolutely on fire, coming off another three-touchdown effort on Sunday. He was the top QB add last week after an outstanding opener, and he’s now the second-highest scoring fantasy quarterback through two games, sitting right behind Josh Allen. Young is slinging it to Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan, and veteran tight end Darren Waller is emerging as a monster red-zone threat, even scoring two touchdowns against the Falcons (with another one called back). The Panthers are set to face the Browns and Lions next, and Young is looking like a low-end QB1 for those matchups. Seriously, the kid is tearing it up!
Sam Darnold on the Radar and the Injury Bug’s Bite
Speaking of quarterbacks, let’s not forget our guy Sam Darnold. While he’s currently an injury stash, 27% of leagues have him rostered. Smart fantasy managers are keeping an eye on him, and you should too. It’s always good to have options, especially with the way injuries are hitting the league. We’re seeing some serious names on the injury report: Caleb Williams (hamstring), Jayden Daniels (elbow), Saquon Barkley (stinger), Aaron Jones Sr. (knee), J.K. Dobbins (hamstring), Mike Evans (hip), Jayden Reed (head/neck), and Dallas Goedert (knee), just to name a few. The list is long, and it means opportunities are opening up for players like Jonah Coleman, who was a speculative stash behind Dobbins but could now see a path clear given Dobbins’ history of missing time in all six of his NFL campaigns. Oh, and keep an eye on Marcus Mariota, who’s currently rostered in 0% of leagues, especially if he’s playing against our beloved Seahawks.
Week 3 is here, and the fantasy landscape is shifting fast. You gotta be on your game, Seattle, with Emanuel Wilson rocking the top-10 and Sam Darnold waiting in the wings. Keep those eyes peeled and those waiver bids ready. The season ain’t waiting for anyone!
