10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 3
Which players on your waiver wire can help you salvage a slow start to your season or put your surging team over the top?

David Johnson, RB, Arizona Cardinals

ESPN Ownership: 46.0%

David Johnson contributed in all facets of the game this past Sunday to help the Cardinals blowout of the Chicago Bears.

Johnson started off with a bang, notching a 108-yard kickoff return touchdown on the first play of the game. And despite receiving just 5 carries to Chris Johnson's 20, David Johnson still managed 42 yards on the ground (8.4 yards per carry) and a 13-yard touchdown.

This follows last week where -- despite playing just five total snaps the entire game -- David Johnson still managed to make his presence felt by scoring a game-sealing 55-yard touchdown on his first and only touch against the New Orleans Saints.

With Andre Ellington far from a safe bet to stay healthy this season, and Chris Johnson a replacement-level veteran, and David Johnson's efficiency (he posted a 3.84 NEP on just 6 touches), the Cardinals will find it harder and harder to justify keeping David Johnson off the field.
