Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Rankings: Week 4
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.
