Week 3 is in the books and the GoingFor2 team has you covered for Week 4’s waiver wire. A handful of the GoingFor2 team pick some of their favorite Week 4 adds. Check them out here…

There’s a reason he’s on the wavier wire, no one wants to play New England Patriots’ Wide Receivers but Bourne is one that’s seen his targets rise in every week. – Jared Good @TheYetiExpress
WR Hunter Renfrow (LVR) 21% Rostered
The Carr/Renfrow connection is something I’ve looked forward to for a while. Having 22 targets and over 200 receiving yards in three games? You have to add. Teams seem to be happy keeping Waller doubled and opening up space for Renfrow to provide FLEX numbers with WR3 upside. Carr having a breakout season keeps Raiders players on the weekly radar now, especially with injuries going wild again. – Jarred Riccadonna @ricco_3733

WR Kalif Raymond (DET) 2% Rostered
Former special teams kick returner turned wideout for the Lions, Kalif Raymond has cemented himself as the WR1 in Detroit since the loss of Tyrell Williams to a lengthy concussion IR stint. Raymond is Goff’s most targeted wide receiver, and third most targeted pass catcher with 16 targets. And last week, he was number one in receiving targets. Raymond also leads the team in yards per reception, averaging 12.4.
Raymond has an especially juicy matchup this week against the Bears, who rank in the top ten in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Chicago should also keep Detroit’s exceptional run game under its thumb, forcing Goff to take advantage of the mediocre (at best) secondary. Raymond has yet to get a score, but his chances are good. Williams isn’t expected back until at least Week 5. – Cecily Riddell @MrsTeamRiddell
Embed from Getty ImagesEmmanuel Sanders (BUF) 36% Rostered
This may be your last chance to pick up a relevant pass catcher from the Buffalo Bills. After two lackluster performances, Josh Allen and the Bills offense looked fantastic in Week 3 against the Washington Football Team. A prime benefactor was Emmanual Sanders who caught five of six targets for 94 yards and two scores.
On the season, Sanders has seen no fewer than six targets in each game. In all, he has 11 receptions on 22 total targets. Sanders has carved out a consistent role as the WR3 in this offense. That role is more than satisfactory for fantasy success given the passing volume of the Buffalo offense. Despite winning by double digits for most of Sunday’s game, Josh Allen threw the ball 43 times. Going forward, Sanders should be a very flexible option in your lineup. – Jason Christensen @JayC_DFF
TE Evan Engram (NYG) 44% Rostered
In looking at the current Sleeper Ap waiver wire for TEs, the best options in terms of year to date performance are: 1) Dawson Knox(Bills-11 percent owned)); 2) Tyler Conklin(Vikings-8% owned); and 3) Austin Hooper(Browns-39% owned). After yesterday, Knox is the TE5, Conklin TE8, and Hooper TE14 on the season.
Engram(44 percent owned) returned yesterday after sitting out the first two games(calf). While registering only two catches(on six targets) for 21 yards, the 17 percent target share was encouraging. In 2020, Engram registered 63 catches(on 109 targets) for 654 yards and one TD(Sleeper PPR TE16). With both Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton leaving Sunday’s game early due to injury, Engram should continue to see a high number of targets.
As the opportunity for success will be available, look for Engram to either be a low end TE1 option or high end streaming option moving forward. – Brian Craighead @vandygrad92
RB J.J. Taylor (NEP) 1% Rostered
Taylor is a deep-league add. James White (his) went down this past week and is out indefinitely. That should open up some opportunities for Taylor as a pass catching running back. I wouldn’t expect much from him right away, but it’s better to add him now with he chance that he breaks out than to wait until he breaks out and try to add him. – Geoff Lambert @GeoffLambert77
Embed from Getty ImagesRB Chuba Hubbard (CAR) 40% Rostered
Looks like it’s going to be the next man up in the backfield for the Carolina Panthers, at least for the next couple weeks. That next man up is the rookie out of Oklahoma State, Chuba Hubbard who clearly is McCaffery’s understudy as we learned after the CMC injury on Thursday night. Once McCafferey left the game in the middle of the second quarter with a hamstring injury it was Hubbard who saw 75%. – Evan Ritter @Ev_Ritt3

WR Tim Patrick (DEN) 37% Rostered
It has been 3 weeks and the Broncos have lost 2 of their top 4 WRs in Jeudy and now KJ Hamler for the season. Courtland Sutton is the big name left, but Tim Patrick has steadily gotten fantasy production each week thus far. When I’m looking at WRs, I focus on 2 things. Redzone production and targets. I need to have at least one of them.
Patrick has 2 TDs through 3 games and in the other had 3 chunk yardage catches. The Broncos came out to a hot 3-0 start but there are some upcoming games where they may need to be throwing more often than not. Patrick has some flex appeal moving forward. – Kyle Bazin @KyleTheCommish
TE Tyler Conklin (MIN) 10% Rostered
How many fantasy owners out there stream TEs? How many of those owners are angry week after week when that latest stream doesn’t add up? The Vikings are on an early season roll with Cousins producing in the air as they are 1-2 but should be 2-1 and dominated the Seahawks in Week three. Conklin was a huge factor in that win catching 7 of his 8 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown. That might not seem like much, but remember he has competition with Jefferson and Theilen, so the fact that he is producing on his targets makes me hopeful Cousins will look his way more and more.
The Vikings have the Browns up next, and they have allowed 107 yards thus far to opposing TEs. Conklin will not be produding TE1 numbers every week, but it seems as if he is the go-to TE on the Vikings roster over Chris Henderson. The wavier wire is always rough for TEs, so I think Conklin would be a great pick up. I think this kid is special, I mean who else can rock a man bun so well! – Courtney Burrows @luvtractor3
