Week 3 Waiver Wire Rankings
Waiver Wire Player Notes
Wilson blew the doors off Week 2. He led the Jets with a massive 31.8% target share with a robust 14 targets, eight receptions, 102 receiving yards and two scores. With Braxton Berrios banged up, the team finally wised up and utilized Wilson more. He saw his route participation climb from 57.6% to 84% this past week. The upcoming schedule isn’t amazing, but if Wilson garners this type of volume, it doesn’t matter. Wilson could be who we all hoped Elijah Moore would be in 2022.
Dotson led the Commanders in WR snaps, and routes run in Week 2. He’s been incredibly efficient with his volume through two games. Dotson has only seen five targets in each game, but he’s averaged 3.5 receptions, 49.5 receiving yards, and 1.5 receiving touchdowns. This is a slippery slope of production, as the three receptions for 38 scoreless yards type of box score is coming. That’s the downside scenario for Dotson. The rosier outlook is that this type of production is a sign of talent, and talent earns more targets as the season progresses. I lean on the latter, as Dotson was a stout prospect and entered the NFL with draft capital commensurate with his talent level.
