As the NFL season heats up, fantasy football managers are scrambling to adjust their lineups and stay ahead of the competition. With injuries piling up, especially at quarterback, it’s crucial to identify players who can help you weather the storm.
Let’s dive into this week’s waiver wire, where we’ll explore quarterbacks who can step in and lead your team to victory. Sam Darnold, now thriving in Minnesota, is a top pick after posting a season-high 23.3 fantasy points against the Texans. Geno Smith, who scored 17.8 fantasy points in Week 1 and 17.9 in Week 2, is another reliable option. Justin Fields, who put up a season-high 18.4 fantasy points against the Chargers, is a borderline QB1 in Week 4 against the Colts.
Other quarterbacks worth considering include Daniel Jones, who has back-to-back games with 18-plus points, and Andy Dalton, who racked up 24.5 fantasy points against the Raiders. Bo Nix, who completed 69.4% of his passes and put up a season-high 19.3 fantasy points against the Buccaneers, could be a solid QB2 streaming option in Week 4 against the Raiders.
In the running back department, Bucky Irving is one of the top options on the wire, leading Tampa Bay with 12 touches against the Broncos. Cam Akers, who put up 10.0 fantasy points against the Texans, is worth rostering in case he gets another opportunity to lead the Texans’ committee. Rico Dowdle, who led the Cowboys’ backfield with 9.0 fantasy points, is another player to keep an eye on.
At wide receiver, Jauan Jennings is a top priority after his big game in Week 3. Quentin Johnston, who has scored 12-plus fantasy points in consecutive games, is stepping up as the Chargers’ top receiver. Allen Lazard, who has great chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, has scored 13-plus fantasy points in two of three games this season. Wan’Dale Robinson, who has seen eight-plus targets twice in three games, is on the flex radar for Week 4 against the Cowboys.
Finally, at tight end, Tyler Conklin set season highs with 6 targets, 5 receptions, 93 receiving yards, and 14.3 fantasy points against the Dolphins. Cole Kmet, who tied with Rome Odunze for the lead in targets against the Colts, finished with 10 receptions and 25.7 fantasy points.
