As we enter week four of the fantasy football season, we have a ton of underperforming studs, injuries all over the place, and guys who are scoring more points in a week than we had expected them to score in an entire season.
Now, luckily, to ease the pain a little bit, we hit a ton of our picks on Underdog in week three, including the creator pack that we had featured inside the app itself on Underdog.

Now, there are links to everything down below in the description, and I'll also pin a comment so it's easy to find as well.
But now with week four here, let's go ahead and dive into this week's waiverwire show. And let's first start off with some of the injuries that we saw in week three because once again, there are quite a few less quarterbacks this week, so that's a positive. But wide receivers and running backs are starting to fall. The first one, how about Terry Mcccluren? Now, he suffered a quad injury and left the game early. Did not return. However, he wasn't really needed in a blowout victory. So, he is definitely a name we need to pay attention to on the practice reports here leading up until week four.
Then we had Mike Evans. Suffered a hamstring injury. Mike Evans and hamstring injuries, they seem to go hand in hand. And when they do, it usually means he's going to miss a couple weeks. That sucks for Mike Evans. How about CD Lamb? He suffered an ankle injury. Now, he's already come out and said, "Hey, I should be able to play in week four." But that doesn't mean anything just yet. That's another guy we need to pay attention to the practice reports on all week long. Now, I'm hoping that because he came back into the game and at least tried it that it's nothing serious and maybe we'll have him sooner rather than later.
But then we had Naji Harris, who suffered what looked like a torn Achilles, a seasonending injury, wheels up on Omaron Hampton. Then James Connor, who suffered a major ankle injury. His season is going to be over. fire up Trey Benson in week four. And then lastly, not a big name, but I did want to mention Deami Brown of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who suffered a shoulder injury. He left late in the first half. Really unsure what his status is for next week as well. But why do we care about him? I mean, I hope the dude feels better and all, but that really affects some of the other weapons in Jacksonville.
Now, before we bring up who a few of those weapons could be in Jacksonville, it's time to bust out the panic meter, right? We're talking about some high-erforming studs who are not performing highly. Guys who absolutely sucked in week three. And I don't know if it's just me, but this list seems to be growing and getting longer each week. How about this past week, Ashton Genty? 6.3 fantasy points. That ain't going to cut it, right? My level of panic is high surrounding Ashton Genty. 17 carries in week three was great. 3.7 yards per carry and no work in the passing game on a team that's constantly trailing and doesn't score a lot of touchdowns as is. That right there is not great, but you're kind of stuck with him right this second because if you try to trade him, you're getting pennies on the dollar in return.
Then we had Debo Samuel of the Washington Commanders, 3.9 points. Not overall panicked about Debo. Washington got up super early in that game and the run game just absolutely dominated for four quarters. There wasn't really a need to throw very much in week three. I'm not worried about Debo. How about Saquon Barkley? 7.5 points last week. My level of panic remains low. LA led that game for three of the four quarters. And we got to give their defense a little bit of credit. They held Saquon Barkley to 2.6 yards per carry. That's not going to happen very often.
Then Drake London. He scored eight fantasy points. My level of panic, it's on low right now, but it's trending towards medium if I'm being completely honest, and that's because of the quarterback play. Michael Pennix looked like he had his skills stolen by one of the Monstars from Space Jam in week three. London did look closer to full health, though, which is great. And he got eight targets. So, now we really need to find out what's going to happen at the quarterback position. Can Michael Pennix remember how to play football? it looks like. Or are we going backwards and are we going to Kurt Cousins? That's definitely something we're paying attention to leading up to week four.
Then we get Chubba Hubard who only scored 8.6 fantasy points in week three. My level of concern still a little bit low. He had 19 touches in a game that they were absolutely blowing out the Atlanta Falcons. And we just saw Rico Dao get a little bit more run than usual late in that game. Now, the same can be said for his teammate Tedro McMillan. only 6.3 points last week, but my level of panic is still pretty low. He had eight targets, but with such a huge lead, they were up by like 30. They didn't have to throw the ball all four quarters like we'd seen to start the season. So, I'm not overly concerned about T McMillan.
Then we get Chase Brown, who had four points last week, and my level of panic is creeping up into that medium stage. Now, it wasn't an easy matchup for Cincinnati by any means, and they were getting blown out, but 10 carries for three yards and four receptions for only 17 yards is damn scary. With how Jake Browning just looked last week, teams are going to try to bottle up the run and force Jake Browning to beat them down the field. They really want to make Cincinnati one-dimensional, and that does not does not bode well for Chase Brown going forward. I'm starting to worry a little bit.
Same with his teammates, right? Jamar Chase and T. Higgins. For Jamar Chase, he had 6.4 points. The last time we saw Jake Browning as the quarterback in Cincinnati, Jamar Chase was averaging only 9.5 fantasy points per game. So, after what we saw in week three, the concern should be rising. For T. Higgins, really the same thing for T. Higgins, right? Two targets for one catch and 15 yards in a game that they trailed from start to finish is an absolute disaster.
How about Brian Thomas Jr. at 6.5 fantasy points last week and my level of panic is at an all-time high once again. If you find yourself on this list for three straight weeks, the panic meter better be high. He had one big play and was absolutely invisible the rest of the game. He's just not on the same page right now with Trevor Lawrence. And the fact that Parker Washington is out targeting Brian Thomas Jr. almost 2 to1. That's a little bit of an issue.
Now, after him, we go down to Bree Hall of the Jets. He had 7.2 points. My level of concern is in that medium range. It's the inconsistency in usage that is absolutely annoying. However, he does get a matchup next week going up against Miami. So, there is a chance for a big time bounceback. I think I could run for a buck 20 on the Dolphins. Bree Hall could have a huge game.
How about Lad McI of the Chargers? 6.2 fantasy points. Level of panic is starting to rise there a little bit as well. In a game where he didn't have to worry about Patrick Certan, but his teammates did, he had the lowest amount of receiving yards of all the wide receivers. But it gets worse. And I say that because Orande Gadden, who no one's really ever heard of, had more receiving yards than Lad McConi in week three. And that is not ideal.
Now, after LA, we had Alvin Kamar with only 6.1 fantasy points, starting to worry a little bit there as well. New Orleans just played a team that has been torched by passcatching running backs this entire year. Then they were trailing the entire game, and Alvin Kamar got 18 carries, but only two targets. You have one of the best passcatching backs of all time. In a game in which you're trailing and he sees two targets, make it make sense.
Then we go down to Marvin Harrison Jr. 5.9 points last week. My level of panic is probably the highest it has been in quite some time. And I say that because I have been bashing the Cardinals for it seems like almost two years now for not getting him enough volume. Then he goes out there and has maybe the worst drop I have ever seen by an NFL wide receiver. right now. This is just an absolute nightmare in Arizona and it's really hard to trust Marvin Harrison probably for the foreseeable future. The guy was wide open. There wasn't a defender within 6 ft of him and the thing went just through his arms. It was disgusting. I I don't want to talk about it anymore.
And then we got Javvante Williams of the Dallas Cowboys. He had 9.7 points. So, not that bad by any means. And I'm really not panicked with him at all. Chicago got out to a lead so fast and Dallas just couldn't run as much as they wanted to in this matchup. Whenever he did touch the ball though, Javvante Williams once again looked really good.
And then lastly, Malik Neighbors. Now, Neighbors ended the game with 2.3 fantasy points. And my level of panic is creeping up because Russell Wilson looked like he had never played football in his life in week three. He entered that game as the leading passer in the NFL and they did absolutely not. He was throwing the ball away more than he was making completions. I think Russell Wilson had more intentional grounding calls than completions to Wondelle Robinson. I would not be surprised if Jackson Dart isn't named the starter fairly soon for the Giants.
But I wanted to end this section with a fun fact, right? Because a lot of people, a lot of studs are really struggling right now. And a lot of people out there like, why are these guys playing so bad? Well, it's across the board. The start of the 2025 season may be one of the ugliest that I have seen since playing fantasy football. 12 of the top 20 players drafted in 2025 have had at least, and I do mean at least, one game where they have scored singledigit fantasy points through the first three games of the season. It's been four of the top 10 running backs drafted and eight of the top 10 wide receivers drafted. And that tells me that this is just another piece of data showing how early round wide receivers aren't any safer than early round running backs.
So, what do we do about it? Well, we dive into the waiver wire here for week four. And I got 21 names to go through here today. Going to try to get through them pretty quickly. How about Sam Darnold here at the quarterback position first. He's 18% owned going up against Arizona. And he's had over 500 yards and four passing touchdowns over his last two games combined. JSN looks unstoppable. Tory Horton is gaining steam. He's got passcatching running backs to dump the ball off to. And now he gets a matchup going up against Arizona, who allows over 16 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position.
Then Gino Smith, he's 20% owned going up against Chicago. And after three weeks, we have seen how much Las Vegas is going to be throwing the football this season with them playing from behind more times than not. And a matchup this week going up against the Chicago Bears who allow over 20 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. Gino's an option if you need a quarterback this week. And then Matthew Stafford as well. He's 32% owned with a matchup going up against Indianapolis. And with 30 plus pass attempts a game and guys like Devonte Adams and Puka Nakua in the mix, Stafford's floor is going to remain safe weekly. Now, on paper, Indianapolis is pretty solid against opposing quarterbacks. But they lost to a Miami team who looked absolutely confused in week one and then they just played Cam Ward in week three. The one time they played a decent quarterback, Bo Nicks, in week two, he hung 21 fantasy points on them. So, Matthew Stafford is an option in week four.
Now, after him, we go down to the running back position. We're going to start off with Trey Benson. Now, he is 53% owned. He's highly owned in a lot of leagues, but just go out there and look just in case. He's got a matchup coming up this week going up against Seattle. And now, we know that James Connor will be done for the season. And Trey Benson is going to get his shot. We talked about Trey Benson a ton this off season. And we said if this kid gets an opportunity, he could be a top 15 fantasy running back. Well, now all of a sudden, he's gonna get that opportunity. He's a pass catching back with a matchup going up against Seattle who has been torched by pass catching backs majority of this season.
Then we have Belle Tutin of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Another guy highly owned, but go check just in case. He's 56% owned right now with a matchup going up against San Francisco. And he's not getting enough weekly touches to really trust throwing into your starting lineup. But they do trust him around the goal line. And if anything were to happen to Travis ETN, we could be looking at Toutin being a 20 touch a week guy. He is an absolute must-have for Travis ETN owners.
Then we get down to a couple guys in Washington. Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez. Now McNichols only 3% owned. They got a matchup coming up this week going up against Atlanta. And I'm going to get a ton of questions this week about this backfield. Probably a lot about Jeremy McNichols. But this backfield is an absolute mess. It's a nightmare. It's a split that goes four ways. Now, last week, Jeremy McNichols finished as the RB11 on the week, and that's why we're going to get so many questions, but almost all of his production came on a 60-yard touchdown. He only had four touches total last week. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not in the habit of starting a guy at the running back position who's getting four touches a week and then having to rely on a big time touchdown.
But that takes us down to Chris Rodriguez, who's only 1% owned. And Rodriguez led this back field in touches. However, a bulk of those touches came when the game was out of hand in the second half. You got to remember that whether it's Marcus Mariota or Jaden Daniels, they're going to be getting carries as well. Then when you add in Jaka Kroski Merritt or if you want to call him Bill, this could be a four-way split each and every week in Washington. which is a total nightmare. So, am I opposed to grabbing them? No. But am I going to grab them and throw them in my starting lineup and expect big numbers? No, I'm not going to do that either. But the facts are this. There are just not a ton of running backs out there available on the waiver wire that are startable right now anyway. If I'm going to stash a running back, I at least want to stash a guy who's one injury away from a big-time workload. not stash a guy who's still going to be splitting with two to three other people even if he gets an opportunity.
So, let's then move on to the wide receiver position, which we know is absolutely stacked in fantasy football. How about Tory Horton of the Seattle Seahawks? He's only 2% owned and he was one of my biggest offseason sleepers that I talked about and he's already been in this very show like three of the first four weeks of the season. Yet, he's still only 2% owned. He's already playing over 50% of the snaps. He now has touchdowns in back-to-back games. He's returning kicks and his role is growing weekly. He is very easily about to be the wide receiver too in Seattle. And Sam Darnold doesn't look half bad.
Then we get Ella Manor in Tennessee who's 20% owned with a matchup going up against Houston. And he may not be getting the most targets on the team, but he's getting the ones that matter. He has touchdowns now in back-to-back weeks and has scored at least 10 fantasy points in back to back games. He is quickly becoming the big play guy in Tennessee that a lot of people expected Calvin Ridley to be.
Now after him is Calvin Austin of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's 15% owned going up against Minnesota. And this is kind of like the modern-day Randall Cobb for Aaron Rodgers. And we've kind of seen that two of at least the first three games of the season. He's averaging almost 16 yards per reception. And if we can keep him right around five targets a game, he could easily be a flex option by the time we get to by weeks. Now, he is a little bit more big play dependent, but we've seen the big play multiple times already in this young season.
Then we get to Sterling Shepard of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is 0%. Don't nobody want Sterling Shepard in fantasy football. And now he's got a matchup going up against Philadelphia. We know that Chris Godwin is still working his way back from injury. Mike Evans just suffered a hamstring injury he could miss some time. And Ibuka was banged up coming into week three already. Now, what that tells me is Sterling Shepard could be in line for some more targets. He just had four catches for 80 yards last week. And remember, there's chemistry between Baker and Sterling Shepard. Do you remember why they played together in college? That's why every once in a while, Sterling Shepard is a thing in Tampa Bay.
Then we get down to Cavante Turpin of the Dallas Cowboys. He's only 4% owned with a matchup coming up against Green Bay. Now, Dallas has made a conscious effort to really include him more in the offense this year. or he's getting touches on the ground. He's getting targets through the air. And with the injury to CD Lamb, even if he does play, he will not be 100% healthy. And that opens up the door for potentially more targets going the way of Cavante Turpin. The kid is a lightning bolt. He's the type of player that can take a slant across the field 80 yards to the house. Now, no, he's not some safe weekly start, but if you're looking to catch lightning in a bottle and you have to put somebody in your lineup, maybe in a super deep league, Cavonte Turpin could be an option.
How about Christian Kirk in Houston? He's 30% owned with a matchup going up against Tennessee. And it was a great sign that he got eight targets in his first game back from injury. Now, he only brought in three of them, but it's going to take some time for him and CJ Strad to get on the same page. We have seen slot wide receivers excel in Houston. and think of Tank Dell the last couple of years. Once Christian Kirk gets up to game speed and some chemistry with CJ Strad, we could be looking at something similar.
Then we get to Parker Washington in Jacksonville. He is 0% owned. Don't nobody out there have Parker Washington either. Now they have a matchup going up against San Francisco. And we mentioned earlier that Diami Brown is injured. How much time, if any, does he really miss? But that means that we should be getting more targets going the way of Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter, right? No. Travis Hunter just played a season low in offensive snaps. And Parker Washington had more targets than Brian Thomas Jr., who saw a season low in targets. Parker Washington actually had 11 targets in week three. I don't I don't get it either, right? But obviously, he's like the binky right now to Trevor Lawrence in this offense.
Now, up next is Quinton Johnston. He is highly owned. Once again, 65% owned, but please go out there and just check. I know there's a lot of leagues where he may be sitting on your waiver wire, and if he is, please grab him. He has now had seven plus targets in three straight games. He's had a play of at least 30 yards or more in three straight games and has three touchdowns in the first three games of the season. I don't know what changed in LA, but they have seemed to unlock Quinton Johnston. It may be the play of Keenan Allen, right? so much defensive attention going the way of Keenan Allen that Quinton Johnson is out there winning one-on-one matchups. So, go out there and take a look and see if he's available.
Then we get Taekquin Thornton of the Kansas City Chiefs. He's only 1% owned going up against Baltimore. And what is his role going to be when Xavier Worthy and Rasheed Rice return? That is the biggest question. But this guy has been the big playmaker in Kansas City now for multiple weeks. He's got touchdowns in back-to-back games. He just led the team in targets in week three and has had at least a play of 30 yards or more in three straight ball games. Now, even if Xavier Worthy were to come back in week four, I think it's safe to say that he's not going to be 100% healthy. And we know that we don't have Rasheed Rice for a couple more weeks, which means Taekquin Thornton could have some value, at least here in the near future.
But now, let's talk about some tight ends, right? A lot of people got to be streaming some tight ends cuz the position is an absolute nightmare. How about Brenton Strange of the Jacksonville Jaguars? He's 25% owned going up against San Francisco. Now, he just outtargeted Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter himself in week three. He's had at least seven fantasy points in two of the three games this season. And over the last two weeks, San Francisco has allowed at least 10 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, plus touchdowns to tight ends in back-to-back weeks with Trey McBride and Jawan Johnson.
Then we got Hunter Henry in New England. He's 50% owned, the highest of all tight ends we'll talk about here today, but go out there and just check. He has a matchup coming up against the Carolina Panthers. And he just had himself a huge, and I mean huge week three. 11 targets, eight catches, 90 yards, and two touchdowns. Now, no, that is not going to be the case weekly. However, he does have at least eight fantasy points in two of the first three games this season. Now, he gets a home game against the Carolina Panthers.
Then we get Mason Taylor of the New York Jets. He's only 6% owned with a matchup going up against the Dolphins. And it's going to be really interesting to see whether his role has expanded or does Tyrod Taylor just love throwing the ball to his tight ends because we just saw Mason Taylor have a season highend targets with six. Plus, he's on the field all the time. 78% of the time, he's out there on offensive snaps. Now he gets a matchup going up against Miami who has been absolutely smoked by tight ends here in 2025.
Then we get down to Kade Uton in Tampa Bay. He's 15% owned with a matchup going up against Philadelphia. And do you remember last year when all the Tampa Bay wide receivers got hurt and Kate Autton kind of turned into Diet Grank? Well, Evans is currently hurt. Godwin is not close to 100%. Amecha Ibuka is not 100%. He's banged up as well. Could that happen again in week four? Now, we know he is on the field all the time. He's been out there for 90% of the offensive snaps in 2025. The problem is he hasn't been seeing any targets because they have so many other weapons. If those other weapons are out, do we see more Kate Uton in week four? It's possible he could be a boomer bust play.
And then lastly, Chigga Conquo of the Tennessee Titans, 21% owned going up against Houston. Now, the ceiling is low because Tennessee can't score very many points, but Chig has got at least six targets in each of his last two games and now has a solid matchup going up against Houston, who he had a 70 touchdown against just last year. So, if you're in a pinch and you need a tight end, like I said, the ceiling isn't very high, but at least the floor is somewhat safe.
Which means now it's time to go to our waiverwire power rankings. You've seen the players, but in what order do you need to prioritize them to pick up? Well, right there at the top, we don't have a lot of running backs, right? So, when you find one, if there's one out there, you grab them. That's why Trey Benson is at the top of the list, but he is highly owned. Remember, we talked about that. Same with Quinton Johnston. Over 60% owned. not going to be there for a lot of people, but if he is, he should be near the top of your list. Then we get down to Belle Tutin, the other highly owned guy at 56%. But then we get to the lower owned guys. Guys like Cavante Turpin being next. He could see increased usage with no CD Lamb. Then EL Amenor who's going to get more opportunities as the season progresses. Followed by Tory Horton, who I absolutely love. Then Taekquin Thornton. He would be higher, but we really don't know how long is his value going to last. When do we see Xavier worthy at 100%. Because if we have a few more weeks of it, he could find himself above Ellenor. We just don't know right this second. Then we have Calvin Austin, Sterling Shepard, Christian Kirk. Can that role grow for Christian Kirk? If the targets stay there in week four, he will fly up this list. Then Parker Washington. Was week three just a fluke? Do we really start to see more Travis Hunter? That's a huge question mark. Then this is where I put Chris Rodriguez and Jerry McNichols. Now, at the bottom of the list is where I put the quarterbacks and tight ends. Not every team needs a quarterback or a tight end, so I didn't want to throw them at the top of the list and have you pass on some of these other guys that may have more value rest of season.
So, if you're looking for a quarterback, this is how I prioritize them. Sam Darnold first, then Matthew Stafford, then Gino Smith. Now, if you're looking for a tight end, first option, Hunter Henry, the highest owned of all these options. he may not be out there for you. If he's not, then we're going down to Brenton Strange, then Kate Uton, Chika Conquo, and then lastly, Mason Taylor.
So, now that we have this list, if you're able to grab these guys, what do you do with them? Are you starting them or are you stashing them? Well, Trey Benson becomes an immediate start option in week four just due to the workload he's about to see. Quinton Johnston, he finds himself in that start category. Once again, the guy hasn't really been stopped for three straight weeks. If you have Belle Tutin, he's more of a stash, right? He's not getting enough volume. He's reliant on that touchdown every single week, and I don't think he scores one every single week. So, we're kind of stashing him for right now. Cavonte Turpin, if CD Lamb were to sit, Turpin becomes a guy, especially in deeper leagues that I would not mind starting in week four. Then we have Ella Manor. We need the volume to continue to increase. More of a stash as of right now along with Tory Horton, Taekwon Thornton, Calvin Austin, Sterling Shepard, Christian Kirk, Parker Washington, Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols. All these guys are more stashes this week. Now, there can be an argument made for Taekquin Thornton. My biggest concern there in starting him is they have a matchup upcoming against the Baltimore Ravens. it will not be an easy matchup for them, but depending on the options you have on your team, his upside remains super high. Now, obviously, the quarterbacks that I've included, the tight ends that I've included more than likely are going to be spot starts for you if needed. So, Sam Darnold, Matthew Stafford, Gino Smith, if you got a stream of quarterback, you can start them. Hunter Henry, Brenton Strange got them as starts, too. But then we get to Kate, and this one is like terrifying, right? If you start Kate, he could go out there and score 15 points. He could go out there and score zero points. There's really a boomer bus factor surrounding Cade Uton, but the ceiling is pretty high. If he gets targets, then Chica Conquo and Mason Taylor. We need to see if Justin Fields returns. Does the volume stay there for Mason Taylor or is that just a Tyrod Taylor thing? I don't want to rush to pick him up and then have him do absolutely nothing. He's a little bit more of a stash on your bench as of right now.
Which only leaves us the fab budget that you should be spending on these players. Now, if Trey Benson is an option for you, I'm going up to 60% of my fab budget. Quinton Johnston and the rest of the the wide receivers, we're not going to overspend, right? Because there are so many options. I don't want to go out there and blow a huge wad of my fab budget on a wide receiver when there's a lot of other guys out there that have similar upside. Now, Quinton Johnston being the highest of all these guys, he does have the highest fab budget of up to 25%. But then we get to Belle Tutin at 20% unless you're an ETN owner that needs to creep up. But then we have Cavante Turpin, Ellomor, uh Tory Horton, Calvin Austin, Taekwon Thornton. They're all up to 15% of your fab budget. Then we get down to Sterling Shepard, Christian Kirk, Parker Washington, Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols, only up to 10% because we really don't know if this is something that's going to continue. There's a lot of questions surrounding these offenses. cuz I don't want to throw a ton of money at a guy who's basically unproven at this point. Now, after those guys, we get down to the quarterbacks. Same type of thing. I don't want to spend a ton of my fab budget on a quarterback that I need for just one week. Maybe if you're looking for somebody rest of season, you can creep this up a little bit, but only 10% on the quarterbacks we discussed today. And then the tight end position, same thing, right around 10%. The tight end position is hit or miss. It's boomer bust every single week. It's an absolute nightmare. Most of the studs, what, like the three studs we have available, they're not even overly consistent each week. I'm not going to go out there and put a ton of money on a tight end that may go out there and literally score you one point in week four. So, we try to keep those bids a little bit lower.
But, let's also look at a few streaming D's if you need some defensive help in week four. We got the Washington Commanders going up against Atlanta. Who knows what the hell just happened to Atlanta? They made the Panthers look like an absolute Super Bowl contender. And now we don't even know who's starting at quarterback for them. Washington is an option. How about the Los Angeles Chargers? They're going up against the Giants. And they either get Russell Wilson, who looks like he's forgotten how to play football. Or they get rookie Jackson Dart in his first ever career start. That's a good opportunity for the LA Chargers to put up some defensive points. And then Houston going up against Tennessee. Now Tennessee continues to be one of the lowest scoring teams in the NFL. And the Houston defense has a great pass rush. and Dererick Stingley should be able to take away the top wide receiver option in Tennessee. Whether that's Calvin Ridley or Elmenor, we really don't know for sure yet, but definitely lowers the overall ceiling of production when it comes to Tennessee Titans. And that's why Houston is an option as well this week.
Now, I have seen the comments over the last few weeks of okay, but what players can we drop? The players to drop section in this show will start next week. We always try to give most players four weeks, the first month of the season. By that point, we have a good idea of what they're going to be long-term before we make some brash, stupid decision and drop a player that we really shouldn't. So, for those of you looking for that section, it'll be in this show starting next week.
So, there you have your waiverwire show for week four fantasy football. Just remember, don't go out there and make any crazy decisions just yet. Let's get through the first month of the season. Let's see if we can really put together some trends for these players. The last thing you want to do in fantasy football is give up on a player too quickly, drop him, have a leaguemate pick him up, and then beat you with him late in the season. [music]
