Fantasy Football Week 4 Top Waiver Wire Adds

How to Find the Best Free Agents to Win Your Matchup

With 3 weeks of the NFL season complete, it's time to take a look at the top waiver wire adds for fantasy football players in Week 4. These are players who are either newly available or have recently emerged as viable fantasy options. Below is a breakdown of players to consider, including what makes them a good pickup, how much FAAB to spend on each, and some potential risks involved.

Top Waiver Wire Running Backs

With injuries piling up at running back, several players are worth adding. Here are some options:

Jeff Wilson Jr., San Francisco 49ers: Wilson took over as San Francisco's lead running back in Week 3, rushing for 183 yards and a touchdown. He should continue to be a productive back as he replaces the injured Elijah Mitchell.

Khalil Herbert, Chicago Bears: Herbert has shared the backfield with David Montgomery this season. But with Montgomery battling injuries and fumbling issues, Herbert could see an increased role. He is also capable of catching passes out of the backfield.

Both Wilson and Herbert can be had for around 30-40% of your FAAB. Both have significant upside and are worth considering if you need a running back.

Top Waiver Wire Quarterbacks

Injuries to several quarterbacks have made this a problematic position to fill for many fantasy managers. Here are some options to consider on the waiver wire:

Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks: Smith has been surprisingly good as the starting quarterback for Seattle this season, throwing for over 800 yards and 7 touchdowns. He is a good option for those looking for a cheap quarterback with upside.

Daniel Jones, New York Giants: Jones is coming off a great game against the Cowboys in Week 3, where he passed for 217 yards and ran for 107 yards. He is a dual-threat quarterback and could be a good option for those looking for someone who can score points on the ground and through the air.

You may have to pay a bit more for both Smith and Jones, as their current FAAB value is around 50-60%. However, if you need a quarterback, both are worth consideration.

Top Waiver Wire Wide Receivers

Several wide receivers have emerged as potential fantasy options for Week 4. Here are some players to consider:

Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers: Watson had a breakout game in Week 3, catching 4 passes for 107 yards and 3 touchdowns. He could be poised for a big season as Aaron Rodgers's new favorite target.

Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers: Doubs is another Packers wide receiver who has emerged as a potential fantasy option. He had 5 catches for 73 yards and 1 touchdown in Week 3 and should continue to see a significant role in the Packers' passing game.

Both Watson and Doubs are worth adding to any fantasy team, and their current FAAB values are around 30-40%. Grab them now if they're available.

Top Waiver Wire Tight Ends

If you're looking to upgrade your tight end position, here are a few options to consider:

Tyler Conklin, New York Jets: Conklin has been a solid target for the Jets this season, catching 14 passes for 173 yards. He should continue to be a reliable option in the Jets' passing game.

Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars: Engram has emerged as a solid pass-catching option for Trevor Lawrence this season, catching 14 passes for 153 yards. He has some upside and is worth considering.

Both Conklin and Engram are available for around 20-30% of your FAAB. If you need a tight end, consider adding one of them to your team.

In Summary

These are just a few of the top waiver wire adds for Week 4. Keep an eye on player usage and performance in the coming weeks to see if any of these players emerge as must-have fantasy options for the rest of the season.
