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.
