Week 4 Waiver Adds Under 50% Owned (Yahoo)

Ollie Gordon II, RB, Miami Dolphins, 6% Owned , De'Von Achane's injury completely changes the Miami backfield, and Gordon is one of the biggest beneficiaries. Gordon handled 20 touches after Achane left against Kansas City, showing that Miami is willing to give him a substantial workload. Jaylen Wright is also in the mix, but Gordon has already shown he can handle a large workload in this offense. Miami may have to lean more heavily on the running game without Achane, making Gordon one of the more intriguing adds heading into Week 4. He may not be a plug and play RB1, but the potential volume makes him worth a serious waiver claim.

Braelon Allen, RB, New York Jets, 21% Owned , Breece Hall's injury has opened the door for Allen to potentially take over a much larger role in the Jets backfield. Allen has already shown flashes of being a capable NFL runner, and the Jets have plenty of incentive to give their young back an opportunity if Hall misses time. The matchup against Chicago isn't ideal, but volume is king at the running back position. If Hall is forced to miss multiple weeks, Allen could quickly go from a bench stash to a weekly fantasy starter.

Keenan Allen, WR, Indianapolis Colts, 22% Owned , Keenan Allen continues to prove that he doesn't need to be the fastest receiver on the field to produce fantasy numbers. Allen caught 6 of 9 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown against Houston, and with Alec Pierce now on injured reserve, his role should remain significant. The Colts have a favorable matchup against Washington this week, and Allen's ability to rack up short and intermediate receptions gives him a solid PPR floor. He's not the player he was five years ago, but a receiver seeing consistent targets is exactly what you want sitting on your waiver wire.

Kenyon Sadiq, TE, New York Jets, 20% Owned , Sadiq finally had the breakout game fantasy managers have been waiting for, catching 7 of 8 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown against Detroit. The rookie tight end has already shown flashes of the athleticism that made him a first round pick, and his role appears to be growing quickly. The Jets have been looking for more playmakers in the passing game, and Sadiq could be the latest player to emerge alongside Geno Smith. The matchup against Chicago this week is another opportunity for Sadiq to build on his Week 3 performance. At only 19% rostered, he is one of the better tight end adds available this week.

Chicago Bears D/ST, 10% Owned , The Bears defense is still sitting on the waiver wire in a majority of leagues, and Week 4 presents a matchup worth exploiting against the Jets. Breece Hall's status is something to monitor, but regardless, New York has struggled to consistently move the football. Chicago has enough talent up front to generate pressure, and the potential for turnovers makes them an appealing streaming option this week. If you're rotating defenses based on matchup, Chicago is worth a look.
