Waiver Targets 3.25

Your weekly roadmap to the wire. Each Tuesday, Tony Kneepkens highlights the top adds across positions — complete with FAAB recommendations and context to help you prioritize based on your league size and format

These are the top players to consider adding from waivers this week. Unless otherwise noted, all players below are available in greater than 50% of Yahoo leagues (as of Sunday evening). Priorities and FAAB recommendations are meant to differentiate between some of the options available and are assuming 12-team, single-QB, fantasy formats.

It’s not the strongest week for waivers despite my first “high-priority” waiver recommendation of the season. There are more options at WR and TE than there are at QB, or especially at RB, if you’re looking to add depth to your fantasy roster this week.

QB Pickups

Daniel Jones, IND, Week 3 at TEN

• Jones shows up here again as a top QB to add after performing admirably against a usually stingy Broncos’ defense last week, passing for 316 yards and a TD while rushing for another score. He’s set up for success in Indy, spreading the ball around to his outstanding rookie TE Tyler Warren and a talented group of four Colts WRs.
• Low-priority add. Jones is my favorite QB pickup based on his dual-threat upside, and his matchup at Tennessee this week looks like a fine spot to use him if your starter is injured or in a tougher matchup of his own.
• 5% or less of FAAB.

Jake Browning, CIN, Week 3 at MIN

• Browning is set to take the reins of the high-powered Bengals offense with superstar QB Joe Burrow out for multiple months with a toe injury. Browning threw for 241 yards, two TDs, and three interceptions in the Bengals’ win over the Jags and added a short rushing TD as well.
• Low-priority add. Browning has a history of filling in for Burrow, having started the final seven games of the 2023 season. Browning threw for 11 TDs and ran for three more scores in those games and finished as a top-10 fantasy QB in five of those starts. Despite all of the positives, the immediate matchup at Minnesota is tough, and there are other strong QB options to consider. I like adding Browning to a team looking for a second QB to cover byes or play in certain matchups.
• 3% or less of FAAB.

RB Pickups

Tyler Allgeier, ATL, Week 3 at CAR

• Allgeier has 10+ carries in both Falcons games to start the year while filling a complementary role to superstar RB Bijan Robinson. He’s tied for second on the team with 104 scrimmage yards through two weeks.
• Low-to-medium priority add. It’s not the strongest week for immediate RB help from the waiver wire, but if you’re desperate, you could flex Allgeier against a Panthers team allowing over 5.0 yards per carry. Even if you don’t need to start him, Allgeier is still a great bench stash as the primary backup RB on a strong offense.
• 10% or less of FAAB.

Blake Corum, LAR, Week 3 at PHI

• Corum turned his five Week 2 carries into 44 yards and a TD and is the only Rams RB with a touch this season other than starter Kyren Williams. Corum has been rotated in for an entire offensive series at a time, rather than having a more specific role carved out for him.
• Low-priority add. Corum is the right kind of bench stash as a primary backup RB on a solid offense. It’s a bonus that his team has shown it is willing to play him in various downs and distances.
• 5% or less of FAAB.

Some additional lower-priority RB adds to consider:

• Kenneth Gainwell (PIT)– Has 8+ touches in both games to start the year, potential bye-week coverage in PPR leagues.
• Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez (WAS) – One or both will likely serve a complementary role to rookie phenom Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the wake of Austin Ekeler’s season-ending injury. A situation to monitor for now.

IR stash candidate(s): Tyjae Spears (TEN)

Troy Franklin, DEN, Week 3 at LAC
