Waiver Targets
Daniel Jones
In his first career start, Daniel Jones led the Giants to victory after being down 28-10 at half. He was the first rookie quarterback to have 300 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns in a game. With a favorable matchup against the Redskins that just allowed Mitch Trubisky to pass all over them, Daniel Jones is in for another good fantasy game.
Wayne Gallman
With Saquon Barkley expected to miss 4-8 weeks with a high ankle sprain, there is a massive amount of touches available in this Giants offense. Unless they sign someone Tuesday, Wayne Gallman looks to be in line for a starting job in a new found offense under Daniel Jones.
Rashad Penny
Chris Carson has lost a fumble in each of the first three games to start the season, with the last one being returned by Saints safety Vonn Bell for a touchdown. If he continues to put the ball on the turf, Penny may have the opportunity to steal the starting job. He will have to get healthy first, however.
Carlos Hyde
With no true feature back in sight in Houston, Carlos Hyde continues to take advantage of his share of carries. In a high powered offense that is mostly in close games every week, Hyde is in line for a solid fantasy season.
Darrell Williams
Damien Williams and Lesean McCoy are both banged up, meaning Darryl Williams is the next man up. Many, including myself, thought it would be Darwin Thompson, but Williams looks to be the leader of this backfield going forward due to injuries.
Diontae Johnson
Now that Mason Rudolph is under center for the duration of the season, many new faces will be emerging in the Steelers offense, including Diontae Johnson. He had 3 catches for 52 yards and a touchdown Sunday against a tough 49ers defense. He and Rudolph will gain chemistry as the year goes on, so Johnson is a good stash.
Mecole Hardman
For the second straight week, Hardman was able to find the end zone, as the Chiefs continue their impressive passing offense. He only had 3 catches, so he is more of a boom or bust play moving forward. He is still worthy of a roster spot strictly based on his upside.
Terry McLaurin
The rookie receiver has looked very impressive in Washington, catching a touchdown in his first three career games. He is the first player to have 5 catches and a score in each of his first three games in NFL history. The best part is he is doing this without his college QB, Dwayne Haskins, who will eventually become the starter for the Redskins. It is only up from here for McLaurin.
