Waiver Wire2026 NFL Week 3
Published Tuesday, September 22, 2026
Four adds with a claim priority, two drop candidates, and one deep-league stash. Researched live by AI from that week's news, so verify before you act.
Waiver Adds
- Jonah Coleman (RB, DEN). Claim priority: HIGH With Dobbins going down and RJ Harvey already inactive, the team turned to rookie Jonah Coleman, who played 25 snaps to Dobbins' 21 and carried 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown with three receptions for 19 yards, and Dobbins' hamstring makes him at best a game-time decision in a Sunday night game this week.
- Denzel Boston (WR, CLE). Claim priority: HIGH Boston led the team with seven targets and a 23 percent target share versus the Bucs and easily led Cleveland in first-read target share at 35 percent, with 154 yards and two scores in two games, and he hosts Carolina next.
- Emanuel Wilson (RB, SEA). Claim priority: MEDIUM Wilson led the Seahawks with 21 carries for 92 yards after Jadarian Price left with a shoulder issue, so he is a strong flex if Price sits and a useful handcuff if he plays.
- Dontayvion Wicks (WR, PHI). Claim priority: MEDIUM Wicks accrued 73 receiving yards in Week 1, then reached 74 yards against the Titans on five of six targets, and is clearly a key part of the Eagles' offense with A.J. Brown on injured reserve.
Drop Candidates
- Jerry Jeudy (WR, CLE). Boston is cementing himself as the clear WR1 in Cleveland, well ahead of KC Concepcion and Jeudy, who did not catch his lone target against Tampa.
- Michael Mayer (TE, LV). Brock Bowers could return from his knee injury in Week 3, and if he is healthy he is the unquestioned alpha pass-catcher for Las Vegas, leaving Mayer without a role.
Deep League Stash
- Adonai Mitchell (WR, NYJ). His 12 targets led the Jets by a wide margin and he tied for team highs in catches and yards; production will be spotty, but he is the clear No. 2 receiver on an offense that looks surprisingly competent.
