The injuries and performance shortfalls are already adding up for countless Fantasy football managers as we wrap up a brutal Week 2. Several managers saw their top quarterbacks go down, as Caleb Williams of the Bears, Jaxson Dart of the Giants and Jayden Daniels of the Commanders went down with injuries that will keep them sidelined indefinitely. Running back casualties included Saquon Barkley of the Eagles and J.K. Dobbins of the Broncos, while receivers who suffered injuries include DJ Moore of the Bills and Alec Pierce of the Colts.
Accordingly, many managers will head to the waiver wire to help fill their voids, and it's looking like this could be a pivotal week for waiver-wire acquisitions that could help salvage your season.
Below, we will look at possible waiver wire claims heading into Week 3. Many leagues use the Free Agency Acquisition Budget (FAAB) to bid on players, and this is the more common practice in competitive leagues. But since some leagues still use waiver priority, we will address this platform as well. A player must have a 65% roster share or less on CBS in order to be considered for this piece.
