Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

The Week 3 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2018 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Giovani Bernard, Keelan Cole, DeSean Jackson & more.

There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up with it all? Well, in the interest of getting you the most timely information, consider this 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 and broken down by position. Players must be owned in less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
