Week 4 Waiver Wire: Gauging FAAB Bids For Week 3’s Biggest Performances, Plus Last Call on 2 RBs with League-Winning Potential

Spike weeks for low-owned players can be a blessing and a curse. For fantasy managers who were fortunate enough to just roster, let alone start, Jauan Jennings or Cole Kmet in Week 3, they are resting easy with the added trade value their assets have accrued in such a short time. For the rest of us on the outside looking in, trying to weigh our available FAAB against the sustainability of huge spike weeks is considerably more anxiety inducing.

But don’t worry, that’s what RotoViz and our suite of 30-plus industry-leading tools are here for.

As we look at the best available players in the majority of ESPN and Yahoo leagues, many of the same names continue to show up from the previous two installments of this article. Fortunately for us, this does not mean that all of the available players lack league-winning upside. But if we don’t act this week, they might be gone for the rest of the season.

Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:

  • To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in 50% or less of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • To be mentioned as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in 50% or more of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • FAAB recommendations will be given, but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
  • All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool
