Did somebody (Carson) Steele your top waiver claim? D’Onta (Foreman) worry about it. There are plenty of good options still available for Week 3 matchups.
Andrei Iosivas (WR) Cincinnati Bengals
A sixth-round pick in 2023, Iosivas had two touchdowns on 25 targets as a rookie, but he’s playing considerably more now with Tee Higgins sidelined by a hamstring injury. The former Princeton Tiger turned four targets into two scores against the Chiefs on Sunday and has earned the respect of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
“He’s done nothing for me to not trust him,” Burrow said, via the team’s website. “All he does is make plays in big spots and continue to get better and better, practice really hard and we love what he’s doing. He’s going to continue to be a big part of what we’re doing here.”
With no guarantee that Higgins will be back for Week 3, Iosivas could have another big game on Monday Night Football against a Commanders team allowing a league-high 51.65 fantasy points to wide receivers after two games.

D’Onta Foreman (RB) Cleveland Browns
Foreman saw one snap against the Cowboys in Week 1, but was in for 27 plays against the Jaguars in Week 2. He scored just 6.10 fantasy points, but his 14 carries were twice as many as Jerome Ford, who leads Cleveland running backs with 19 carries and 108 yards.
Ford outgained Foreman by 22 yards last week, though the latter’s uptick in usage is noteworthy. At 235 pounds, Foreman was the only running back to see a red-zone carry last week so he could vulture a touchdown or two.
This week, the Browns will face a winless Giants team allowing the fifth-most rushing yards (163.0) and eighth-most fantasy points (26.50) per game to running backs. If Foreman can find the end zone, he’ll be worth the add in Week 3.

Darnell Mooney (WR) Atlanta Falcons
Mooney had only three catches, but led the Falcons with 88 receiving yards, a 41-yard touchdown and 17.80 fantasy points against the Eagles on Monday night. He and teammate Drake London each saw seven targets, but Mooney finished with 34 more yards and currently leads all Falcons receivers with 103 yards after two games.
According to Yahoo Sports’ Scott Pianowski, the fifth-year receiver is running routes on 91.5 percent of Atlanta’s dropbacks, sixth-most in the NFL. Mooney managed only 31 catches for 414 yards and a touchdown for the Bears last season, but looks to have good chemistry with quarterback Kirk Cousins and should see plenty of targets when the Chiefs come to town for Sunday Night Football.
