Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round Including Nico Collins, Kyren Williams, Zack Moss, Tutu Atwell, Matt Breida

Matt Breida - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

The Week 3 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2023 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Nico Collins, Kyren Williams, Zack Moss, Tutu Atwell & more.

Hello, RotoBallers, and welcome to our little look-ahead as we sift through Sunday's action with an eye on next week. We're here as a quick reaction force to get key names on your radar with the week's early performances and injuries. September is a great time for actionable pickups so let's get to 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.

Editor's Note: The FFPC Playoff Challenge is back with a massive $500,000 grand prize and $1.35 million total prize pool, paying down to 800th place. Here's the deal: no salary cap, no draft, no pickups, no subs. Choose 10 players, and as NFL teams get knocked out so will your players, so choose your team wisely. The 7,250 entries will sell out quickly, and registrations will close on Saturday January 10th at 4:30 pm ET . Don't wait - get your team now and end your fantasy football season with a shot at $500,000! Sign Up Now!
