Seven Wide Receivers to Watch on the Week 3 Fantasy Waiver Wire

Denzel Boston, Rashod Bateman and Tre Tucker are among the widely available wide receivers drawing attention ahead of Week 3.

Several wide receivers who produced strong fantasy results in Week 2 remain available on waiver wires heading into the third week of the NFL season, according to availability data from Sleeper cited by Sports Illustrated.

Cleveland Browns rookie Denzel Boston, listed at 58 percent available, has run a team-high 63 routes through two games and has caught 7 of 11 targets for two touchdowns, ranking as the WR12 in fantasy scoring. Rashod Bateman, 76 percent available, finished as the WR10 in Week 2 while Zay Flowers was out, posting 7 catches for 88 yards and a score on 9 targets.

Other names highlighted include Indianapolis's Adonai Mitchell (87 percent available), Las Vegas's Tre Tucker (71 percent), Philadelphia's Dontavyion Wicks (63 percent), Chicago's Kalif Raymond (88 percent) and Miami's Malik Washington (67 percent). Tucker has taken over as the Raiders' WR1, while Washington leads the Dolphins with 13 targets and 60 routes run.

Injuries shape several situations. Mitchell should see continued volume with Omar Cooper Jr. sidelined, Wicks could benefit from Dallas Goedert's absence in Philadelphia, and Raymond's value is tied to Caleb Williams' hamstring issue, with reports suggesting Williams is unlikely to play this week.
