  "account": "In the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast, hosts Josh Apple and co-worker Joel Smyth provide a breakdown of the best waiver wire targets for Week 3. The podcast covers a range of positions, including wide receivers, running backs, tight ends, quarterbacks, and deeper roster options.\n\nThe first recommendation is Jonah Coleman, a standout wide receiver option. Next on the list is Emmett Johnson, a versatile running back with strong production potential. Tight end options include Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley, both known for their consistent performance.\n\nQuaterback streamers such as Tre Tucker, Dontayvion Wicks, and Adonai Mitchell are also highlighted as valuable additions to any roster. Denzel Boston and Bryce Young further expand the quarterback options for fantasy managers looking to shake up their lineup.\n\nFor deeper roster considerations, fantasy managers can target Kalif Raymond, Antonio Williams, Ted Hurst, Laquon Treadwell, Darren Waller, Oronde Gadsden II, along with several other players who are lesser-known but still hold promise.\n\nOn the drop list, the podcast warns against Kenneth Gainwell, Chris Rodriguez Jr., Keaton Mitchell, Marvin Harrison Jr., Courtland Sutton, and Quentin Johnston, who may not be worth the roster spot compared to other available options.",
