Top 10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3 (2025)
Week 3 is in the books, and it’s time to hit the waiver wire. Whether you’re dealing with injuries, underperforming stars, or just looking to get ahead of your league, these are the top 8 priority adds heading into Week.
Trey Benson – RB, Cardinals
With James Conner sidelined, Benson is stepping into a lead role. Volume at running back is king, and Benson has it locked in.
Tre Tucker – WR, Raiders
Tucker exploded in Week 3 with over 100 yards and multiple touchdowns. He brings explosive upside and should stay involved in the Raiders’ passing game.
Elic Ayomanor – WR, Titans
Ayomanor continues to carve out a real role in Tennessee’s offense, scoring in back-to-back games. The rookie is making noise early.
Geno Smith – QB, Raiders
Geno put together a strong Week 3 performance and now gets a favorable matchup ahead. For QB-needy teams, he’s a strong streaming option.
Luther Burden III – WR, Bears
Burden flashed playmaking ability in Week 3 with a big touchdown. He’s worth stashing as his role grows in Chicago’s offense.
Daniel Jones – QB, Colts
The Colts offense has been more consistent than expected, and Jones is delivering fantasy relevance. A solid QB2 with upside.
Hunter Henry – TE, Patriots
Tight end production is always thin, and Henry just reminded everyone why he’s a touchdown threat. A top waiver add if you need help at TE.
Parker Washington – WR, Jaguars
Washington is seeing his role expand, and injuries around him could open the door for more snaps and targets.
Final Take
Week 4’s waiver wire is highlighted by upside wide receivers and a couple of quarterbacks who can stabilize rosters. If you need RB help, Benson is the clear #1. In deeper leagues, WR stashes like Burden or Washington could pay off in a big way down the road.
