Yahoo Fantasy Forecast Sizes Up Week 2 Worries Ahead of Week 3

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski assess which slow-starting players deserve fantasy panic and run through waiver options for Week 3.

A new episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast features Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski responding to listener submissions about players who underperformed in Week 2. The hosts weigh in on which slow starts justify real concern as fantasy managers plan for Week 3.

The show opens with a Monday night recap of the Los Angeles Rams beating the New York Giants 28-6. From there, the fantasy fallout segments cover quarterbacks Kyler Murray, Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams, with a separate look at the Chicago Bears offense.

A long stretch of the episode is devoted to the Panic Meter, applied to tight end Colston Loveland and receivers Luther Burden III, Drake London, Rashee Rice, Marvin Harrison Jr., George Pickens, Jameson Williams and Terry McLaurin. Running backs De'Von Achane, Travis Etienne and Saquon Barkley also get the Panic Meter treatment, as do quarterbacks Baker Mayfield, Drake Maye and Justin Herbert, plus the Atlanta Falcons offense.

The episode closes with a rundown of ten waiver wire pickups for Week 3 and five players the hosts identify as drop candidates. The full show is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
