Top Waiver Wire Adds for Week 4 (Fantasy Football)

Week 3 was not nearly as bad as Week 2 in terms of injuries, but it wasn’t without its fair share of surprising performances from some unexpected players. Add these guys for Week 4…

TE Jimmy Graham (CHI) 8% Owned

Jimmy Graham has 18 targets over 3 weeks and 3 touchdowns. Now I know the Tight-End Position is Deep, but there have been a few disappointing ones (Gronk, Engram, Hopper). Jimmy Graham can be a decent add this week if you are ready to cut ties with your disappointing Tight-End. – @yetiexpress2

WR Alshon Jeffrey (PHI) 14% Owned

What a disaster the Eagles offense has been so far this sesaon. Carson Wentz needs some help, and it’s possible he gets some soon with Alshon Jeffrey back on the practice field. He’s basically free and the Eagles WR corps currently includes Greg Ward, the ghost of Desean Jackson, and JJ Arcega-Whiteside (who has as many fantasy points this season as I do.). Jeffrey has the opprotunity to step right in and be productive from day one. He’s worth the bench stash in case he’s able to stay healthy. – @GMenJay

RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (SF) 22% Owned

In San Franciso, everyone is in play with their rash of injuries. Currently, Wilson sits as the number 2 running back, but with Jerrick McKinnon rib injury he could be in store for more touches week 4. In week three he had 12 carries to McKinnon 14. But Wilson also added 3 receptions for 56 yards and a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown. He will never be a high rush yardage back in the 49ers system, but he will be there for the goal line carries like he was in Week 3 — this allowed him to finish the day with 21.6 fantasy points. –@neverenoughglt

WR Brandon Aiyuk (SF) 28% Owned

Aiyuk clearly has a role in the 49ers offense and delivered this week with five catches for 70 yards, adding in 31 rushing yards with a score. Returns to the lineup of Deebo Samuel and George Kittle should only help open more looks for Aiyuk in the coming weeks. We saw Emmanuel Sanders have tremendous success in the 49ers offense last season when it was firing on all cylinders. Aiyuk was a highly touted first-round pick back in May, but also a little lost in the crowded rookie mix behind Ruggs, Jeudy, Lamb and Jefferson. –@RobertBlock07

WR Cole Beasley (BUF) 9% Owned

With the injury to John Brown in week 3, Cole Beasley finds himself as a prime target to receive an uptick in production while Brown is inactive. Beasley will replace Brown as Josh Allen’s #2 target in an offense that has been nothing short of explosive through three weeks. Only owned in 9% of leagues according to Yahoo currently, Beasley should find himself owned in all 10+ team leagues going forward. – @TB24FF

WR Greg Ward (PHI) 1% Owned

This could be a very interesting option in deeper leagues. Ward received 11 targets on Sunday and converted them in 8 catches, 72 yards and a touchdown. Injuries seem to never stop for the Philadelphia Eagles as Dallas Goedert left the game with an ankle injury and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Deshaun Jackson also appears to be nursing a hamstring injury and Alshon Jeffery may be on his way back barring any delays. For a very banged up pass-catching group, the former quarterback is who I would be looking to add on waivers. – @shawn_sulli5

WR Hunter Renfrow (LV) 10% Owned

With several key injuries in the Raiders receiving corps, Hunter Renfrow should see a bump in targets over the course of the next few weeks. That already began to manifest during week 3 as Renfrow saw 9 targets (including 2 in the Red Zone). If the pair of rookie wide receivers miss any significant time, Renfrow’s role increase may become permanent. – @SenraSays

TE Eric Ebron (PIT) 27% Owned

Although there are plenty of weapons available for Ben Roethlisberger, he seems to have taken a liking to Eric Ebron. Ebrons targets have increased each week, and he took advantage of his 7 targets in Week 3 to the tune of 5 catches for 52 yards and a touchdown.

Ebron is third on the team in red zone targets and has a 13% target share. With Dionate Johnson banged up, Ebron’s usage could see an uptick. He’s a solid TE streamer with potential for more if he continues to get looks in the redzone. – @GMenJay

WR Tee Higgins (CIN) 4% Owned

This is an addition that may not yield immediate production. However, as the Bengals continue their rebuild, I can see Tee Higgins getting more looks and A.J. Green getting phased out or even traded as he still continues to acclimate from missing all year with his ankle injury. Higgins is a high upside stash and worth a FLEX spot in 14+ team leagues with potential upside for more as the season continues. – @ricco_3733

WR Anthony Miller (CHI) 46% Owned

Embed from Getty Images

Owned in almost half of Yahoo leagues, this is a must-add if he is available in your league. He has 2 touchdowns in 3 games and he’s always had WR2 talent, his only issue was the quarterback’s ability, or frankly, the lack thereof. Now, this isn’t a must-start player immediately but definitely worth keeping an eye on with Nick Foles finally taking the starting quarterback job from Mitch Trubisky. Foles should be a more reliable and consistent passer which should lead to more opportunities for both Allen Robinson II and Miller. – @Shawn_Sulli5
