Week 3 Cut List flags bold moves but avoids knee-jerk cuts. McCarthy is week-to-week; in shallower leagues he’s a drop candidate, with Wentz likely starting. Core cuts include Kaleb Johnson and Dylan Sampson in RB, Xavier Legette and Adam Thielen at WR, Mark Andrews and Evan Engram at TE, Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet as backfield in Chicago, plus A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith among WRs trending down. The piece also nudges readers toward Week 3 waiver pickups to balance risk.
