Young, Tucker among fantasy football add/drops for Week 3
Bryce Young and Tre Tucker are among UPI senior sports writer Alex Butler's fantasy football waiver wire priorities for Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season.
Fantasy football enthusiasts Bryce Young and Tre Tucker are on my watchlist for Week 3. Bryce Young, the Carolina Panthers quarterback, has thrown six touchdown passes in the first two weeks of the 2026 NFL season. His recent performance includes an impressive 324 passing yards per game, which is significantly higher than his average from his first three years in the league.
Young will face a Cleveland Browns defense in Week 3, which allowed four passing scores to Trevor Lawrence in Week 1. Young is a solid streaming option for my fantasy football team if my starting quarterback becomes unavailable.
Tre Tucker, a Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver, deserves attention for his tremendous performance. In the first two weeks of the season, Tucker caught seven passes for 146 yards and a touchdown. His recent game against the New Orleans Saints featured 119 yards and a score, with an even better performance coming in Week 2. If you're in a fantasy football league that requires three wide receivers, Tucker is a low-end WR3.
The Raiders' upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints, who struggled against similar pass-catchers, makes Tucker an even more attractive target for Week 3.
