Defenses that were streamed in Week 4 are being cut from fantasy owners’ rosters more than anyone else. The Los Angeles Chargers and New York Giants respective defenses are being dropped at an alarming rate due to their respective Week 5 matchups and underwhelming performances in Week 4. But Greg Dortch is the skill player being dropped the most, even more so than Javonte Williams! That's certainly a head-scratcher.
Week 4 is officially in the books after the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. There were a lot of duds this week from elite players while several unowned players turned heads on Sunday. For example, Mark Andrews caught just two passes for 15 yards. Meanwhile, Corey Davis (owned in just 22% of leagues) hauled in five receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown.
As Week 4 comes to an end tonight when the Los Angeles Rams visit the San Francisco 49ers, fantasy owners are scrambling to the waiver wire to add some depth to their respective rosters. We are about a quarter of the way through the fantasy football season and if you haven’t taken advantage of the waiver wire, you likely see your team name at the bottom of your league’s standings. Don’t panic. The season is still early and there are still plenty of viable options who are not only still widely available but who can also provide an immediate spark to your roster. Let’s examine the top quarterbacks and tight ends on the waiver wire this week.
Stacking is absolutely critical to DFS success, particularly in NFL. The NFL DFS Stacks Chart identifies the top stacks of the week as well as cash and GPP correlating plays.
People often ask me what the difference is between adding someone on the waiver wire and a streaming option. The answer is simple. When you are scrounging the waiver wire, you are going to prioritize the players who have positive fantasy outlooks for weeks to come. Perhaps Christian McCaffrey goes down for a few weeks and the Panthers need to turn to Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard would be the perfect waiver wire pickup in that situation since he would effectively be an RB2 in fantasy due to volume alone. However, sometimes it makes sense to simply add a player because they have a juicy matchup on the horizon. These are called streamers. The most common position fantasy owners stream are defense, but it still happens at other positions every week.
Following Herbert, the top players fantasy owners are gravitating towards are Jamaal Williams, David Njoku, Zay Jones, and the Green Bay Packers defense.
Week 3 is currently in action and several injuries have already taken place before we’ve even arrived to Sunday Night Football. Let’s monitor all the injuries and news around the NFL from Sunday of Week 3.

Every Saturday morning, Dr. Roto hosts Fantasy House Calls on Sirius XM Radio, Channel 87 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. I join him every week for a 15-minute segment to talk about our favorite two props of the week at about 10:30 AM EST. So without further ado, it’s time to break down my favorite two prop bets heading into Week 3!
It’s that time of week to look at who fantasy owners are dropping the most heading into Week 3. You can view our Predictive Adds article, but now we will take a look at the players fantasy owners are giving up on as we gear up for the third week of the fantasy football season. it is not only critical to identify the top producers on the waiver wire, but it is also important to drop the players who have the least value moving forward.
