Fantasy Football 2019: Waiver wire targets for Week 3
Tight End
Will Dissly, Seahawks (2.2 percent owned)
It’s fair to say that Will Dissly isn’t going to catch two touchdowns every week as he did against the Steelers. However, the tight end got five targets against Pittsburgh, showcasing that he has a role in this offense and could be a low-end tight end play if you need a flyer at the position.
Jason Witten, Cowboys (18.6 percent owned)
Witten has cleared 10 points in each of the first two weeks in PPR scoring. He’s not a target monster and he’s not going to get a ton of yardage at his age. However, Dak Prescott is clearly looking his way when in the red zone, which gives him value in fantasy football.
Other available options: Tyler Eifert, Bengals (12.7 percent owned); Noah Fant, Broncos (11.2 percent owned)
Defense/Special Teams
Dallas Cowboys – vs. Dolphins (37.5 percent owned)
If a defense is playing the Dolphins, you start them. This week, the Dallas Cowboys are the lucky ones to get that matchup and you should add them to reap the fantasy football benefits.
San Francisco 49ers – vs. Steelers (14.2 percent owned)
Mason Rudolph looked fine when he stepped in after the Big Ben injury. It’s hard to believe in that full for the rest of the season, though. Furthermore, the 49ers defense has been strong to this point in the season, making them an intriguing add for Week 3.

Seattle Seahawks – vs. Saints (13.5 percent owned)
Admittedly, the Seahawks defense hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire to start the year, giving up 20 points to Cincinnati and then 26 to Pittsburgh. However, with a matchup against Teddy Bridgewater in Week 3 and with how bad the Saints offense looked after Brees went out, Seattle might be a good streaming play.
