Top Waiver Pickups for This Weekend: Week 3 top pickups

What a difference a week made for Christian Kirk. After barely featuring against the Colts in Week 1, Kirk drew a team-high 14 targets against the Chiefs last week, securing 11 of them for 110 yards. Kirk finished as the WR20 in Half PPR formats, dragging him up to WR42 overall.

The Texans are not a wonderful matchup for wide receivers at present, and the danger of Kirk returning to his part-time role of a fortnight ago is a concern. Kirk projects as a mid-level WR3 this week, assuming the game script favors his side throughout.

It was a mixed week for Jake Ferguson against the Jets in Week 2. Ferguson played almost double the snaps of his fellow tight ends but still ceded a target to each of them and a rushing attempt to Peyton Hendershot. Ferguson was able to grab three of his four targets for a meager 11 yards, but he did score a touchdown on his way to 8.6 Half PPR points. This was good for a TE11 finish.

Ferguson is definitely on the streaming radar in Week 3 against a Cardinals team that just begs for tight ends to produce against them. Still, the tight end by committee makes him a cautionary tale.

Week 2 was definitely not a game Zay Jones will look back on fondly in years to come. Despite seeing six targets, he failed to secure a single one, amassing zero receiving yards and absolutely no fantasy points.

Jones doesn't have the best matchup this week against a Texans team that has done too badly against wide receivers so far this season. It's hard to trust him as anything more than a WR4 in Week 3.
