Navigating the waiver wire is crucial for sustained success in fantasy football. After the dust settles from Week 3, sharp fantasy managers are already looking ahead, identifying players who can provide immediate value and long-term upside. Here are the top waiver wire adds heading into Week 4.

Quarterbacks

  • Sam Howell (Washington Commanders): Howell has shown flashes of brilliance and faces a weak defense in Week 4. His dual-threat ability makes him a high-floor QB2 with potential for more.

  • Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers): While inconsistent, Love's upside is undeniable. If available, he’s worth a stash, especially in deeper leagues.

Running Backs

  • Justice Hill (Baltimore Ravens): With JK Dobbins injured, Hill steps into a lead-back role in a potent Ravens offense. He should be a priority add.
  • Matt Breida (New York Giants): With Saquon Barkley dealing with an ankle injury, Breida becomes a must-add. He will likely receive the bulk of the carries if Barkley is out.
  • Jerick McKinnon (Kansas City Chiefs): McKinnon has pass-catching upside in the high-powered Chiefs offense. He’s valuable in PPR formats.

Wide Receivers

  • Tank Dell (Houston Texans): Dell is quickly emerging as a favorite target for C.J. Stroud. His explosiveness and role in the Texans' offense make him a high-upside WR3.
  • Romeo Doubs (Green Bay Packers): Doubs has established himself as a reliable target for Jordan Love. He’s a solid WR3 with touchdown potential.
  • Josh Palmer (Los Angeles Chargers): With Mike Williams out for the season, Palmer becomes the immediate beneficiary. Expect a significant increase in targets.

Tight Ends

  • Luke Musgrave (Green Bay Packers): Musgrave's role is expanding in the Packers' offense, and he possesses the athleticism to be a difference-maker at tight end.
  • Logan Thomas (Washington Commanders): Thomas is a reliable target for Sam Howell and should provide a decent floor at a volatile position.

Defense/Special Teams (DST)

  • Indianapolis Colts: The Colts' defense has been surprisingly effective and faces a favorable matchup in Week 4.

Waiver Wire Strategy

  • Prioritize Needs: Assess your roster and target positions where you need the most help.
  • Consider Matchups: Look ahead to future weeks and target players with favorable schedules.
  • Don't Be Afraid to Drop: Be willing to cut underperforming players to make room for potential gems.
