From Aaron Rodgers’ new weapon to a Sam Darnold target, we look at some of the NFL’s top Fantasy Football waiver wire targets ahead of Week Three in the 2024 season…

Quentin Johnston – WR, Los Angeles Chargers

• 22.10 points in Week Two

‘Finally!’ you could hear Los Angeles Chargers fans cry at the long-awaited sighting of a big Quentin Johnston game in Week Two. The second-year wide receiver struggled to earn the trust of Justin Herbert with dropped catches and missed assignments in his rookie season, and entered 2024 clouded by question marks over whether he could provide an answer to life without Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. Sunday was a brief glimpse, albeit against a dreadful Carolina Panthers team, of what he may offer moving forward as he made five catches for 51 yards and two touchdowns, the first of his two scores seeing him beat Jaycee Horn impressively in a one-on-one matchup on a fade route down the sideline. Be warned, though – stifling Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs defenses await over the next two weeks.There was a fun union of generations for the New York Jets on Sunday, 40-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers handing the ball off to 20-year-old running back Braelon Allen, who became the youngest player to score an offensive touchdown in the Super Bowl era, and the youngest overall since 1930. Allen arrived as a fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin earlier this year, early evidence presenting a ‘runs angry’ 6ft 1in 235lb complement to Breece Hall out of the backfield for Nathaniel Hackett’s offense. He finished Sunday’s game with seven carries for 33 yards and a touchdown alongside two catches for 23 yards and a score. Allen runs like a bulldozer with dancing feet through traffic; Aaron Rodgers has another weapon with which to get this Jets offense rolling.

The Cincinnati Bengals came up shy once more against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, but welcomed more encouraging production from second-year wide receiver Andrei Iosivas. He finished with two catches on the day, both of which went for touchdowns; the first a stunning toe-drag leaning grab inside the pylon and the second courtesy of an exquisite whip-route to evade Joshua Williams at the back of the end zone with Joe Burrow scrambling in search of an open target. The Princeton product continues to warrant trust in Zac Taylor’s offense with an impressive ability to create separation through his crisp route-running. He could see increased production while Tee Higgins continues to get back up to full speed following his hamstring injury.
