Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Rankings: Week 4

September 29, 2026•6 min read

Overall Waiver Priorities

Running Backs

✅ Ollie Gordon II, Miami Dolphins

84% snaps | 17 carries | 3 targets

Add: Top add on this entire list. Achane is out for the season and Wright missed Week 3. Gordon was the only Miami halfback to play after Achane went down and handled 17 carries plus 3 targets. The offense is a concern, but potential starting RB volume is too valuable to leave available.

❌ Raheim Sanders, Cleveland Browns

43% snaps | 5 targets

Pass: 5 targets are interesting, but a 43% role without a clear path to becoming Cleveland's lead back isn't enough for me yet.

Wide Receivers

✅ Malik Washington, Miami Dolphins

86% snaps | 10 targets

Add: This is exactly the underlying usage we're looking for. 10 targets plus an 86% snap rate gives him value independent of 1 big play, and Miami may have to throw frequently while playing from behind.

✅ Tre Harris, Los Angeles Chargers

58% snaps | 7 targets

Add: Snap rate actually fell, but the receiving involvement matters more. Harris caught 6-of-7 for 76 yards and has led LAC in receiving yards in consecutive games. That's enough production and target involvement to bet on the role growing.

✅ Keenan Allen, Indianapolis Colts

73% snaps | 9 targets

Add: Alec Pierce is on IR, and Allen's 9 targets are much more encouraging than his Week 2 usage. Washington is a reasonable Week 4 matchup, so there's enough short-term volume to add him in PPR.

✅ Chris Bell, Miami Dolphins

71% snaps | 7 targets

Add: Caleb Douglas missed Week 3 and Bell took advantage, leading Miami with 67 receiving yards. The 71% snaps and 7 targets make him more than a box-score chase while Douglas remains sidelined.

✅ Mack Hollins, New England Patriots

76% snaps | 9 targets

Add: 9 targets on 76% of snaps is enough volume to roster in deeper PPR formats. Buffalo in Week 4 also creates a realistic pass-heavy game script.

✅ Ryan Flournoy, Dallas Cowboys

66% snaps | 8 targets

Add: He's now getting legitimate WR3 involvement, and 8 targets are worth chasing even though they produced only 22 yards. Houston is a difficult Week 4 matchup, so this is more of a stash than an immediate start.

❌ Konata Mumpfield, Los Angeles Rams

73% snaps | 8 targets

Pass: Mumpfield's Week 3 opportunity was heavily driven by Puka Nacua missing his second straight game, and Nacua is expected to have a good chance of returning for Week 4. Mumpfield also played 69% in Week 2 with Nacua and Jordan Whittington out but drew only 2 targets, so Week 3's 8 targets aren't established usage yet.

There's also some game-script inflation. Stafford threw for 403 yards, Mumpfield did most of his damage after Denver took the lead in the fourth quarter, and 78 of his 93 yards came on one late drive, including the 48-yard TD. With Nacua returning alongside Davante Adams and the Rams heavily using their TEs, Mumpfield probably falls back into a rotational role.

❌ Brycen Tremayne, Carolina Panthers

81% snaps | 6 targets

Pass: The usage spike came with Xavier Legette inactive. If Legette returns, Tremayne's 81% role could disappear quickly, and Detroit isn't a matchup that makes me want to force the add.

❌ John Metchie III, Carolina Panthers

56% snaps | 5 targets

Pass: Same concern as Tremayne, except Metchie didn't even get the same snap volume.

❌ Skyy Moore, Green Bay Packers

52% snaps | 7 targets

Pass: 7 targets are interesting, but 52% snaps still leaves too much uncertainty in a crowded Packers receiving rotation.

❌ Cooper Kupp, Seattle Seahawks

67% snaps | 5 targets

Pass: The name doesn't matter for this exercise. A 67% snap rate and 5 targets aren't enough to prioritize him over receivers showing stronger underlying usage.

❌ Elic Ayomanor, Tennessee Titans

80% snaps | 3 targets

Pass: Excellent playing time, but 3 targets on 80% of snaps is exactly the type of empty participation I'd avoid chasing.

❌ Kevin Coleman, Miami Dolphins

62% snaps | 4 targets

Pass: Washington and Bell both showed stronger Week 3 opportunity in the same offense. He's behind them in my Miami WR hierarchy.

❌ Dohnte Meyers, Cincinnati Bengals

56% snaps | 5 targets

Pass: Interesting increase, but 56% snaps and 5 targets aren't enough yet to establish a dependable fantasy role.

❌ Tai Felton, Minnesota Vikings

54% snaps | 0 targets

Pass: A 54 percentage-point snap increase is eye-catching, but without targets there's nothing actionable for fantasy yet.

Tight Ends

✅ Kenyon Sadiq, New York Jets

58% snaps | 8 targets

Add: My favorite TE add. He turned 8 targets into 7 catches, 105 yards and a TD, and the Jets plan to expand his role. Chicago is next. The caveat is that Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor were out, but the talent plus breakout usage makes Sadiq worth betting on anyway.

✅ Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams

71% snaps | 11 targets

Add: Terrance Ferguson suffered an ankle injury and Higbee exploded for 8 catches, 62 yards and a TD on 11 targets. If Ferguson misses time, Higbee becomes an immediate TE streamer.

✅ AJ Barner, Seattle Seahawks

91% snaps | 9 targets

Add: This might be the cleanest underlying TE usage on the board. A 91% snap rate plus 9 targets is elite opportunity for the position, and Seattle's offense gives him scoring upside.

✅ Darren Waller, Carolina Panthers

51% snaps | 8 targets

Add: 8 targets on only 51% of snaps is actually encouraging because there's room for his playing time to grow. At TE, that type of targets-per-snap involvement is worth betting on.

✅ Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

94% snaps | 6 targets

Add: The ceiling isn't exciting, but 94% playing time plus 6 targets creates a very stable streaming profile. Green Bay-Tampa Bay also has a better offensive environment than several other TE options here.

✅ Greg Dulcich, Miami Dolphins

70% snaps | 7 targets

Add: 7 targets and 70% snaps are enough for a PPR TE add. Miami's offense limits his ceiling, but negative scripts could keep creating underneath targets.

❌ Darnell Washington, Pittsburgh Steelers

76% snaps | 4 targets

Pass: Playing time is excellent, receiving usage isn't. 4 targets aren't enough to prioritize unless his route and target role keeps expanding.

❌ Foster Moreau, Houston Texans

57% snaps | 4 targets

Pass: Useful NFL role, but not enough receiving volume to justify a fantasy roster spot yet.

❌ Noah Fant, New Orleans Saints

57% snaps | 4 targets

Pass: Similar story. He's involved, but neither the snap share nor target volume separates him from replacement-level fantasy TEs.

❌ Brock Wright, Detroit Lions

58% snaps

Pass: The snap increase matters only if routes and targets follow. Right now they haven't.

❌ Payne Durham, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

55% snaps

Pass: The 49-point snap jump looks dramatic, but Otton played 94% and drew 6 targets. Durham remains clearly behind him for fantasy purposes.
