CLEVELAND, OH – Week 4 had injuries, a few duds and plenty of breakout performances. Detroit and Miami are the only two teams on a bye this week, so you should have most (if not all), of your fantasy roster available. If you’re looking for a fill-in we got you covered.
Here are the players to target on the waiver wire this week:
Ronald Jones (44%) – Jones has at least 70 yards rushing in three out of his first four games. He’s getting twice as many touches as Peyton Barber and is worth adding in all leagues.
Darrel Williams (52%) – Williams was the hot waiver wire pickup last week and he delivered, finishing with two touchdowns, three receptions and 56 yards from scrimmage. As long as Damian Williams remains injured, then Darrel Williams is worth adding and starting as an RB3.
Cole Beasley (12%) – Beasley is a PPR stud. The Bills’ wide receiver has 15 receptions and 23 targets over in his last two games. He has yet to find the end zone, but has enough chemistry with Josh Allen to warrant WR3 consideration.
Jordan Howard (56%) – Howard had his best game of the season, finishing with 87 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the ground in Week 4. He also had three receptions for 23 yards and a receiving touchdown. Miles Sanders will continue to limit his potential, but Howard is worth adding if he’s available in your league.
Courtland Sutton (54%) – Sutton had six receptions for 56 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4. He’s had at least seven targets in each of the Broncos’ first four games. He’s a borderline WR3 with plenty of bye week fill-in appeal.
Golden Tate (49%) – Tate returns from a 4-game suspension this week. He has instant fantasy appeal with Daniel Jones at quarterback. He’s a WR4 with upside and a flex option in PPR leagues. Add him if he’s still available.
Diontae Johnson (6%) – Johnson finished with six receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown on Monday Night Football. He’s clearly the number two wide receiver in Pittsburgh and has WR4 potential moving forward.
Dawson Knox (14%) – Knox continues to show flashes of solid play. He finished with three receptions for 58 yards against the Patriots. He’s a TE2 and worth adding as a bye week fill-in based on his current usage.
A.J. Brown (10%) – The rookie wide receiver flashed in Week 1 against the Browns and had a few down weeks before exploding for 94 yards and two touchdowns against the Falcons. Tennessee’s passing offense will be inconsistent, but Brown is worth stashing in deeper leagues. He’s a WR4-5 with upside and a low floor from week-to-week.
Chris Herndon (19%) – Herndon’s suspension ends next Monday, which means he’ll be available to play in Week 6 against Dallas. He has TE1 potential, especially if Sam Darnold returns to the field. Herndon is worth adding in all leagues.
Gardner Minshew (15%) – Minshew-mania continues as the rookie signal caller has thrown for 204 or more yards and a touchdown in each of his four games. He’s shown enough to warrant QB2 consideration in two quarterback leagues. He’s also worth considering in daily games, depending on the matchup.
Jimmy Graham (37%) – Graham finished with six receptions for 61 yards and one touchdown. He’s a borderline TE1, but Davante Adams’ turf toe injury gives Graham a boost. He isn’t what he once was, but he’s worth a look if you’re desperate at tight end.
Other players worth watching:
Preston Williams (9%), DeVante Parker (9%), Auden Tate (0%), Chester Rogers (0%), Nyheim Hines (19%), Jordan Wilkins (2%), Mohamed Sanu (27%), Jack Doyle (20%), Gerald Everett (5%), Antonio Callway (1%), Rashard Higgins (2%), Jaylen Samuels (30%).
