Locked On Fantasy Football host Vinnie Iyer gave several players you should be targeting on your league’s waiver wire this week.

Chuba Hubbard, RB, Carolina Panthers

Week 3 points:10.9

Iyer: “He's a clear top target with Christian McCaffrey's hamstring injury sidelining him for a little while." 

Peyton Barber, RB, Las Vegas Raiders

Week 3 points: 23.2
Ownership %: 9.7%

Iyer: "Barber has proved to be a busy fill-in for Josh Jacobs, playing ahead of Kenyan Drake in key situations for Las Vegas."

Ownership %: 24.7%

Jakobi Meyers, WR, New England Patriots

Week 3 points: 18.4

Zach Wilson, QB, New York Jets

Week 3 points: 2.60

Iyer: "If you're streaming quarterbacks from week to week, take a look at Washington's Taylor Heinicke this week against the Falcons, and the Jets' Zach Wilson with his easiest matchup thus far as a rookie against the Titans, as sneaky options this week.

Tyler Conklin, TE, Minnesota Vikings

Week 3 points: 20.00
Ownership %: 3.3%

Austin Hooper, TE, Cleveland Browns

Week 3 points: 9.90
