Fantasy waiver wire: week 3 pickups; MacKinnon injury
Feb 01, 2021, 04:24 PM
Pete and Rob are joined by guest “Waiver Wire” James Harding to discuss the fantasy landscape and the best players to add at each position. The guys react to top-ranked fantasy player Nathan MacKinnon leaving the game Sunday with a lower-body injury and where the Avalanche, who also recently lost Devon Toews to an injury, and fantasy managers (for potential replacements) should go from here. The guys discuss players like Jordan Kyrou, Joel Eriksson Ek, Jordan Greenway, Justin Schultz, Vitek Vanecek, James van Riemsdyk, Linus Ullmark, Alexandre Texier, buying low on Mika Zibanejad, the return of Jamie Benn and Roope Hintz from injury and young defensemen Pierre-Olivier Joseph and K’Andre Miller, who are worth adding after Kris Letang’s injury and Tony DeAngelo was placed on waivers. The guys also give a shoutout to the Edmonton Oilers for promoting the podcast.
