Greatest Fantasy Week 4 Waiver Pickups: Chuba Hubbard, Zack Moss, Peyton Barber amongst breakout "handcuff" RBs

Each NFL Sunday brings with it a novel set of circumstances. Typically there are a bunch of accidents, resulting in a seemingly infinite provide of potential waiver strikes. Different instances, there are minimal accidents and even fewer attention-grabbing breakouts. It is not tough to determine what kind of Sunday simply handed after a fast look at our prime Week 4 fantasy waiver wire pickups and free agent provides. In fact, the largest fantasy soccer information (and potential pickup) occurred earlier within the week when Christian McCaffrey injured his hamstring, opening the door for handcuff Chuba Hubbard to take over. However heading into the 2 remaining prime-time video games on Sunday, we’ve not added numerous substance to the waiver wire. Zack Moss and Peyton Barber made some waves amongst RBs, whereas Hunter Renfrow, Emmanuel Sanders, DeSean Jackson, Tyler Conklin, and Kendrick Bourne seemingly broke out amongst pass-catchers. General, although, it is wanting far more like a “free agent” week than a “waivers” week.

Even with that mentioned, there are all the time potential depth items so as to add. Our full free agent record has a number of extra attention-grabbing WRs, and TEs (Tim PatrickJames Washington, Pat Freiermuth, Evan Engram, Collin Johnson, A.J. Inexperienced, Christian Kirk), all of whom might proceed to see upticks in targets due to accidents. Sadly, these guys do not profile as roster saviors by any means. They is perhaps Week 4 saviors, although, and enjoying issues every week at a time is rarely a nasty transfer in fantasy. That is why we even have loads of Week 4-specific streaming options at QB, TE, and D/ST, which may be discovered on the finish of this record

Hubbard is certainly price a prime waiver declare, although it is potential McCaffrey is simply out every week or two. Nonetheless, after we noticed CMC miss 13 video games due to three completely different accidents final yr (and has now added a fourth completely different ailment), there is not any motive to assume this would be the solely time he misses. Put money into Hubbard now (and control Royce Freeman). Apart from that, although, it is powerful to spend huge on a large receiver. Moss looks as if the one different man price a waiver declare, and he is most likely not price a top-five declare given the anomaly that we all know will proceed within the Payments backfield. The identical goes for Barber, as he does not determine to have a lot (any?) worth as soon as Josh Jacobs returns, which could possibly be as quickly as subsequent week.

Prime fantasy soccer waiver wire pickups for Week 4

Until in any other case famous, solely gamers owned in fewer than 50 p.c of Yahoo leagues thought of.

Chuba Hubbard, RB, Panthers. With Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) more likely to miss at the least the subsequent recreation or two, Hubbard out of the blue turns into a possible RB2. It took him some time to get going after changing McCaffrey on Thursday, however he did effectively as Carolina’s nearer, ending with 52 speeding yards on 11 carries and including one other 27 receiving yards on three catches (5 targets). As we noticed final yr when Mike Davis crammed in for McCaffrey, the Panthers will not change their offense a lot even with a backup RB within the lineup. They will nonetheless throw typically to Hubbard, so he ought to have loads of worth in each customary and PPR leagues. Royce Freeman can even be concerned, however anticipate Hubbard to deal with the majority of the touches in opposition to the Cowboys subsequent week and probably the Eagles the week after.

Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Payments. Stefon Diggs goes to be a relentless, however there will probably be a distinct No. 2 receiver in Buffalo each week. It was Sanders’ flip in Week 3, as he caught 5 passes on six targets for 94 yards and two TDs. Sanders noticed 14 targets within the first two weeks, so although he caught simply six for 100 yards, he appeared resulting from get away finally. Can he be constant? He is enjoying a barely increased snap share than Cole Beasley and a considerably increased one than Gabriel Davis, in order that’s a plus. He is additionally clearly gifted and in sync with Josh Allen, in order that bodes effectively for him, too. General, he is price proudly owning and in play as a WR3 most weeks.

Zack Moss, RB, Payments. We had our doubts about Moss after his Week 1 scratch and his late-game stat-padding in Week 2, however he appeared each bit Devin Singletary’s equal in Week 3. Moss had two extra carries (13) and 34 extra speeding yards (60) than Singletary, and he even had two extra catches (3) and another goal (3) than Singletary. All instructed, Moss had 91 whole yards and a TD. We all know the Payments combine up their RB utilization on a regular basis, so we’re not assured Moss will proceed seeing this sort of workload, however on the very least, he must be owned in additional than 53 p.c of Yahoo leagues. Upcoming video games in opposition to Houston and Kansas Metropolis might yield huge outcomes with even 12 touches.

WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Operating again | Broad receiver | Tight finish | D/ST | Kicker

Hunter Renfrow, WR, Raiders. Renfrow is perhaps greater than only a “PPR receiver.” Sure, he is extra helpful in that format, however with 9, seven, and 6 targets, respectively, thus far this season, he is clearly an enormous a part of Vegas’ offense. He had his finest recreation of the season in Week 3, catching 5 passes for 77 yards and a rating. Darren Waller will all the time get his targets, and Henry Ruggs III has a better ceiling in any given recreation, however Renfrow has changed into Mr. Safety Blanket for Derek Carr, and that does not determine to vary any time quickly. He is in play as a WR3 subsequent week in opposition to the Chargers.

WEEK 4 DFS LINEUPS: DraftKings | FanDuel | Yahoo

DeSean Jackson, WR, Rams. Likelihood is, this was only a random D-Jax blowup week, however given how sharp the Rams’ offense has appeared, he is price mentioning. The oft-injured speedster caught three-of-five targets for 120 yards and a TD in opposition to the Bucs, exhibiting he nonetheless has monster upside any given week. Cooper Kupp is clearly Matthew Stafford’s favourite goal, however with Robert Woods struggling to get going and Van Jefferson not breaking out, Jackson is price having round as a boom-or-bust streamer, particularly the subsequent two weeks in what could possibly be shootouts in opposition to Arizona and Seattle.
