The NFL Fantasy Hobby Waiver Wire: Week 3

Three weeks into the season and the only thing more chaotic than your fantasy team's performance is the variance in the player's card prices.

The NFL Fantasy Hobby Waiver Wire: Week 3

Three weeks into the NFL season, the Fantasy Hobby Waiver Wire remains focused on identifying arbitrage opportunities between elite performance and undervalued player cards. By analyzing Week 3 box scores alongside Mantel Top 100 preseason data, we uncover market inefficiencies before others can capitalize. Here are the top target claims, along with one high-risk speculative play for Week 4.

1. Drake London, WR - Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons' win over the Packers showcased London's dominance, catching every target for 194 receiving yards. With a PSA 10 Silver Prizm price of $85 pre-season, last sold at $120, London's card popularity is low at just 96. If the Falcons' passing attack stays on track, this WR1 gem offers exceptional value.

2. Kyren Williams, RB - Los Angeles Rams: Despite a close loss to Denver, Williams proved his dual-threat capabilities. He rushed 15 times for 88 yards and added 70 receiving yards on six targets. His 2022 Select Prizm Silver PSA 10 trades for $115, making his elite volume in a high-scoring offense a rare find.

3. Brock Bowers, TE - Las Vegas Raiders: After knee surgery, Bowers returned with a bang, leading the Raiders in receptions, yards, and targets in their win over New Orleans. His market ranges widely, with a recent Prizm Silver PSA 10 selling for $160. As a top target, Bowers commands long-term hobby premiums, especially with the Raiders' playoff prospects.

4. Jordan Addison, WR - Minnesota Vikings: While Justin Jefferson's injury sidelined Addison, he stepped up as the team's WR1, catching 90 yards and a 41-yard touchdown. Addison's Prizm Silver Rookie PSA 10 has dropped from $60 to under $40. As a low-risk investment, his value could increase if Jefferson returns soon.

5. Michael Wilson, WR - Arizona Cardinals: With 31 targets in three weeks, Wilson has established a strong connection with Jacoby Brissett. His Prizm Silver PSA 10 remains stable at $50. This versatile short-to-intermediate option offers excellent value.

6. Zay Flowers, WR - Baltimore Ravens: Flowers' hamstring issue has kept his card market suppressed, but when healthy, his efficiency is undeniable. His Prizm Silver PSA 10 price has climbed from $40 to $60 with a few sales near $100. Once fully healthy, his role as Lamar Jackson's go-to WR will drive price corrections.

7. **High-Stakes Spec Play - Michael Penix Jr., QB - Atlanta Falcons**: After a slow start, Penix found his rhythm, completing 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards, a TD, an interception, and a two-point conversion. His Prizm Silver PSA 10 recently sold for $300. While a high-risk, high-reward play, nabbing an auction or deal under $250 before Week 4 could yield significant profits.
