Keenan Allen (WR-IND)
Bid Recommendation: 20-40% of Annual FAAB Budget
Allen stepped up with Alec Pierce on injured reserve in a tough matchup with Houston and was a big part of the win. He'll be a mainstay in this pass offense, which is getting to an easier part of their schedule starting with Washington this week. Allen is a solid WR3/Flex option going forward.
Kenyon Sadiq (TE-NYJ)
Bid Recommendation: 15-30% of Annual FAAB Budget
Sadiq posted a monster stat line against a Lions defense that couldn't stop the pass. With Breece Hall out for at least a week or two and Adonai Mitchell nursing a finger injury, Sadiq should be featured again in Week 4 and worthy of a start right off the waiver wire.
Jakobi Meyers (WR-JAX)
Bid Recommendation: 15-30% of Annual FAAB Budget
Meyers scored in Week 3 for the second time this year, and more importantly, he caught seven of eight targets and showed the potential to be a more regular part of the target tree after only catching three balls in the first two weeks. If he was dropped after a poor Week 2 and you're in a PPR league, Meyers should be a priority pickup this week.
Ollie Gordon II (RB-MIA)
Bid Recommendation: 10-20% of Annual FAAB Budget
Gordon scored and did a good impression of a wide receiver on one of his three receptions after he replaced De'Von Achane, who is out for the year with a torn ACL. The Dolphins offense isn't exactly a fantasy point hotbed, and Jaylen Wright, who was doubtful for Week 3 with foot and shoulder injuries, will get a share of this backfield once he is healthy enough to handle it. Gordon's outlook vs. the Vikings this week is also dim, so while he will have some value, it's better to let someone else overpay for him.
Braelon Allen (RB-NYJ)
Bid Recommendation: 10-20% of Annual FAAB Budget
Allen will take over as the lead back for some period of time after Breece Hall left Week 3 with a leg injury. Hall said he felt two different "somethings" on the play, but Hall reportedly got "good news" from the MRI and is week-to-week. Allen is talented, but hasn't been very efficient this season, and the Jets offense hasn't gotten the run game going since beating up on the Titans in Week 1. Allen is more likely a low RB2/Flex than someone who will change your season, so don't go overboard bidding on him.
Keaton Mitchell (RB-LAC)
Bid Recommendation: 10-20% of Annual FAAB Budget
Mitchell scored on a pop pass and otherwise was much more effective than Omarion Hampton on fewer snaps and touches. The gap between the two in fantasy value and usage is closing, and Mitchell is actually a better fit for Mike McDaniel's running game than Hampton. With the Chargers' schedule setting them up to play from behind a lot over the next two months, Mitchell's stock is rising.
