Your Ultimate Guide to the Waiver Wire for Week 3!

Fantasy football enthusiasts, get ready! As we dive into Week 3, it’s time to shed some dead weight off your roster and scoop up hidden gems that could make all the difference in your season. This week, we present the Drop List—a roster of players who no longer deserve a spot on your team. If your squad is top-heavy with star players who could step up in a jiffy, maybe it’s time to assess your depth with our One Injury Away list.

The Drop List: Who's Out?

**Quarterbacks:** Say goodbye to Joe Burrow, who is headed for toe surgery and will be sidelined for at least three months. It’s time to let go of J.J. McCarthy as well; his ankle injury will keep him off the field for 2-4 weeks, making him a non-factor in standard leagues.

**Running Backs:** Kaleb Johnson has produced a dismal -1 yard and an unfortunate muffed kickoff return that cost the Seahawks. It's time to cut ties with him and the likes of Joe Mixon and Brian Robinson Jr., who simply aren’t living up to expectations.

**Wide Receiver:** Jayden Reed's collarbone injury is a tough blow, and he’ll be out for an extended period. It makes zero sense to cling to a player who won't contribute anytime soon.
