Fantasy Football: 5 waiver wire targets for Week 3

Denver Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman delivered an impressive debut on Sunday, rushing for 58 yards and scoring a touchdown in a 20-13 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. With key players J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey sidelined due to hamstring issues, Coleman emerges as one of the premier waiver wire targets ahead of Week 3. To assist fantasy football managers in securing a winning lineup, we've compiled a list of top waiver wire options across various positions, complete with their respective roster percentages from ESPN data.

1. Running Back Jonah Coleman (22%): Coleman's stellar performance on Sunday suggests he'll remain a fixture in Denver's offense, even if Dobbins and Harvey return. Another RB to watch is Eagles' Tank Bigsby, who's been filling in after Saquon Barkley's shoulder injury.

2. Wide Receiver Devaughn Vele (54%): Vele stepped up in New Orleans' passing game, catching seven passes for 64 yards on Sunday. Browns' WR Denzel Boston also deserves consideration, having racked up 95 yards and a touchdown on Saturday.

3. Tight End Juwan Johnson (52%): Johnson has quietly amassed seven receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets through the Saints' first two games. He remains a solid Week 3 option.

4. Quarterback Tyler Shough (49%): Shough led the New Orleans offense with 252 passing yards, a touchdown pass, 23 rushing yards, and a rushing touchdown in Week 2. Panthers' QB Bryce Young also presents a compelling Week 3 choice after his dominant 287-yard, three-touchdown outing.

5. Green Bay Packers Defense (20%): After surrendering 17 points and allowing just four sacks, Green Bay faces a testing matchup against the Falcons on Thursday Night Football. Rookie defensive back Michael Penix is set to make his season debut against Atlanta.
