Just got done compiling the XFL total fantasy points ( HERE ). After shuffling through the madness of what was the first two weeks of XFL 2.0, it’s apparent I have no idea what’s going on.. but I do have stats. Here’s the week 3 waiver wire based on some of those stats.. 4 Team league, 6 Players with 3 bench spots. To save time.. I eliminated the starting QBs (6), RBs (6), & WRs (18) for each team.

Donald Parham (TE DAL) – Definitely gone in TE leagues, but in non-TE leagues, he could still be there, and he looks like a reliable flex with 19 targets (2nd). DeAndre Thompkins (WR DC) – He might be on somebody’s bench already, but if not, grab him NOW as he’s fight’n for his #2 spot back in DC after being injured for week 1. Jacques Patrick (RB TB) – Might be available in 10 leagues.. but there IS a chance. Good production from a #2 RB. Kermit Whitfield (WR LA) – If I did a waiver list last week, he’d be #1.. so he could be gone, might still be in there tho. Keith Mumphery (WR STL) – 4.5 pts a week and hopefully a bonus 6 pts every 3/4 games.. can’t really ask for more from an XFL fantasy flex can you? Seantavius Jones (WR TB) – Should see plenty of snaps with TB being behind every game. Joshua Crockett (WR DAL) – Him or Jazz Furguson should be a starter soon.. until Furguson is fully healthy, Crockett gets them snaps and gets the nod. Larry Rose/Dujuan Harris (RB LA) – E. Hood will not be LA’s starting RB for much longer. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s benched this weekend. Harris is the better back when healthy. Rose could be sneaky pick up once Hood is benched and if Harris can’t stay healthy. Brandon Barnes (TE LA) – Definitely gone in a TE league, but his size in the RZ makes him a flex option in non-TE leagues once Josh Johnson gets a few games under his belt. Marquise Williams/Luis Perez (QB NY) – McGloin should be benched soon. Williams is a duel threat that could see just as many snaps as Perez until they decide on the next heir to the Guardian thrown. Jake Powell/E.J. Bibbs (TE NY) – Tight Ends thrive in NY’s style offense.. which is NONE.

Now we know who to PICK UP, here’s who to DROP:

Freddie Martino (WR DAL) – 2 targets in 2 weeks isn’t gonna work out for us. Won’t be long before he’s dropped in the depth chart. Austin Duke/Teo Redding/Joe Horn (NY WR) – 3 targets between the 3.. maybe when the QB situation is fixed, one of these three will have value (cough cough Austin Duke). Wes Saxton (TE STL) – TE in STL is not a feature role for Ta’amu.. if there was a STL TE to invest in, it would be Marcus Lucus. If I needed a TE, I’d go Lucas and then one of the NY TEs over Saxton. Andre Williams (RB HOU) – 7 carries for 12 yards. HOU’s backfield belongs to James Butler. De’Angeleo Henderson may supplant Williams on the depth chart when he’s fully healthy. Malachi Dupre (WR DC) – Not a bad WR.. just too many mouths in DC and Dupre falls all the way down to their #12 Team Fantasy Option, not including the kicker. Quinton Flowers (QB TB) – Even with Murray out, Flowers didn’t produce. Unless he qualifies as a RB, he’s not worth a bench spot.

These following players are HOLDS for me for now, but if you drop ‘em, I wouldn’t blame you.

Keith Ford (RB STL) – He was officially OUT this past weekend, but with Christian Michael struggling, Ford becomes a valuable piece for STL’s potent run game upon return. Marcus Lucas (TE STL) – If you picked him up off week 1 hype, you should hold onto that same energy for another week. TE’s not a feature role in STL, but Lucas isn’t a regular TE. If he can get 3/4 targets a game, he could be battling for the #3 TE. Marquis Young (RB DAL) – Not quite sure what happened this weekend, but he combined 7+ pts from R.R.R. (Rush Receiving Returns) in week 1. As long as there’s room, hold until we get news. Elijah Hood (RB LA) – As long as he’s #1 on the depth chart, he should be rostered but not started, not at least until LA can show they can possess a lead.. because that’s where Hood’s value lies. Kasen Williams/Dontez Byrd (WR SEA) – As Austin Proehl and Keenan Reynolds battle for #1.. these two will battle for #3. Sammie Coates (WR HOU) – Not gonna jump off the Sammie train yet.. but I would suggest letting me go down in flames alone.

Well that’s all I got for now.. later this week as more stats come in I’ll break down ALL the Draft Kings and Fan Duel slates..

So who’d I miss? Who should have been left off? This was my first attempt at anything like this.. lmk how I did. Hope this helps somebody.
