Alvin Kamara is expected to transition into a natural third-down back role as the Saints' backfield usage shifts toward Kendre Miller for early-down work. Kamara is considered a better fantasy asset than Miller due to his established role, but he is noted as having little efficiency left.

Breece Hall is listed as week-to-week with a lower-body injury, suggesting he will likely miss at least two weeks of action.

Case Keenum is expected to start for the Bears while Baker Mayfield is out with a thumb injury. While not a high-quality passer, he benefits from the current NFL trend where veteran QBs who grew up playing against cover-two defenses have an easier time reading modern two-high shell coverages.

Chris Bell is the primary deep-threat receiver for the Titans with 73% route participation and 16% target share. While he has a higher weekly ceiling than Malik Washington due to his deep-target role, he is expected to convert those looks at a lower percentage and is ranked a tier below Washington.

Despite a 94% route participation and 25% target share, Courtland Sutton is recommended as a drop candidate in 10-team leagues because Pat Bryant is considered a better player.

De'Von Achane's absence from the game created the opportunity for Ollie Gordon to see an 82% snap share.

Devin Singletary is recommended as a drop candidate in all leagues following his recent healthy scratch.

Emanuel Wilson saw significant snap volume (38%) but lacks long-down-and-distance usage and is unlikely to maintain a role once Zach Charbonnet returns.

George Holani had a better game than Emanuel Wilson and reached double-digit PPR points, though he is viewed as less likely to generate touchdowns.

Following his trade to the Giants, J.J. McCarthy is expected to receive starts eventually, though they are unlikely to go well. He is ranked behind Jayden Daniels and Case Keenum for Superflex formats.

Jarquez Hunter is an interesting prospect acquired by the Dolphins. While the backfield is expected to be a crowded, annoying three-man rotation similar to the Packers, Hunter is a reasonable speculative add in deeper 14-16 team leagues.

Despite being a 'bad quarterback' in terms of real-life efficiency, Jayden Daniels is a recommended Superflex add due to his rushing floor, projected at roughly 45 yards per game. He is preferred over Fernando Mendoza as a drop candidate.

Jaylen Wright is behind Braelon Allen in waiver priority. He missed week three due to a foot injury and a stinger. While he was the lead back in a game De'Von Achane missed last year, he is currently secondary to Ollie Gordon. He should not be expected to maintain an 82% snap share; his realistic projection is 60-65% of snaps with some goal-line work, though the team's overall offensive struggles limit his fantasy ceiling.

Jordan Tyson is a high-upside stash for fantasy managers who are 2-0 or 3-0. He is eligible to return from IR as early as Week 5, and if his return were confirmed, he would be an S-tier waiver wire addition.

Keaton Mitchell is a recommended waiver add who is trending up, while Amarian Hampton is trending down. Mitchell played 36% of snaps and 38% of long-down-and-distance situations last week, including a goal-line touchdown. He is preferred over Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright even in a time-share due to higher upside.

Kendre Miller is projected to handle early-down work in the Saints' backfield while Alvin Kamara transitions to a third-down role, especially with Travis Etienne expected to miss time. Miller is viewed as a superior early-down runner compared to Kamara at this stage of their careers, though he only saw 19% of snaps last week.

Kenyan Sadiq is a priority tight end add, especially with Adonai Mitchell, Mason Taylor, and Omar Cooper Jr. out. He ran 57% of routes and saw 22% of team targets last week, scoring 23.5 PPR points. While production may dip when teammates return, he is expected to become the team's starting tight end.

Malik Washington is a strong waiver add after recording three carries as a running back and a 31% target share. He is preferred over Chris Bell because his targets are higher-percentage, short-area looks. His role is expected to grow with Caleb Douglas out.

MarShawn Lloyd appears to be playing through significant hamstring issues, leading to the expectation that his role in the Packers' backfield will diminish. He is suggested as a drop candidate because he has failed to capitalize on opportunities, and Caleb Johnson is preferred over him.

Najee Harris is serving as the goal-line back for the Giants but has looked ineffective, appearing to move in slow motion on goal-line carries. Despite his poor performance, the coaching staff continues to favor him over Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Ollie Gordon played 82% of snaps and scored a goal-line touchdown after De'Von Achane left the game. While he has the leg up on Jaylen Wright, his snap share is expected to regress to 60-65% moving forward. He is limited by a fullback taking long-down-and-distance snaps and the Dolphins' poor offense, making him a desperation play for 8.6 points rather than a high-priority FAAB target.

Quentin Johnston is considered one of the worst wide receivers in the NFL this season, struggling to earn targets or create separation with a team-low separation score. Despite maintaining 84% route participation and a 21% target share, he is labeled a roster clogger who is unlikely to be a reliable starter.

Ted Hurst is locked into approximately 80% of routes for the Buccaneers due to Jaylen McMillan's multi-week injury, making him a solid waiver target despite a low 9% target share.

Trey Harris saw a significant jump in targets against the Buffalo Bills, recording 13.6 PPR points on a 66% route share and 24% target share. Adnai Mitchell notes that while he is uncertain of his long-term talent, Harris has looked better on film than Quentin Johnston and is a viable low-end waiver wire wide receiver option.

Adnai Mitchell identifies Tyler Goodson as the current RB2 for the Dallas Cowboys, positioning him as the primary handcuff should anything happen to Javonte Williams.

Adnai Mitchell recommends Tyler Higbee as a streaming tight end option for Week 4, noting his 77% route participation and 21% target share. Mitchell prefers Higbee over other Rams tight ends like Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen, and expects him to fill the void left by Jake Ferguson's injury.
