Watch Now: Waiver Wire: Wide Receivers (7:45)
Thankfully, Week 3 of the Fantasy Football season wasn't as injury plagued as Week 2. But we still had a few players get hurt, as well as some surprise standout performances, which should make for a fun week on the waiver wire. There are several players available who could be impactful in Week 4 and beyond.
The main injuries happened to Tarik Cohen (ACL), Chris Carson (knee), Jerick McKinnon (ribs), Chris Godwin (hamstring), Diontae Johnson (concussion), John Brown (calf), Russell Gage (concussion), DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Mike Williams (hamstring), Michael Pittman (leg), Jared Cook (ankle), Dallas Goedert (ankle) and Jordan Reed (ankle). Of these injuries, Cohen, Pittman, Goedert and Reed are the most serious due to the amount of time they will be out.
We'll have some replacement options for you -- Myles Gaskin, Jeff Wilson and Carlos Hyde are the top running backs, for example -- as well as highlight several players on the rise. Justin Jefferson and Mecole Hardman are receivers worth buying into, among others. And we'll look at top quarterback, tight end, kicker and DST streamers.
Last week, we told you to get Mike Davis and Darrell Henderson off the waiver wire, and both were awesome in Week 3. Hopefully, some of the guys mentioned this week will be just as successful to enhance your Fantasy roster.
Editor's note: For this waiver wire column, we are only looking at players rostered in less than 65 percent of CBS Sports leagues.
Week 4 Waivers
WAIVER WIRE
Quarterbacks
- Injuries of note: Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), Drew Lock (shoulder) and Tyrod Taylor (chest)
- Priority list: Ryan Fitzpatrick (21% rostered), Kirk Cousins (36%), Nick Foles (5%) and Nick Mullens (3%)
- Check to see if available: Matthew Stafford (82% rostered) and Ryan Tannehill (81%). Stafford should be added in all leagues if he was dropped now that Kenny Golladay is back, and Tannehill should continue to be a low-end starter most weeks. For this week, I would get Stafford, Fitzpatrick and Tannehill if all were available.
- Potential drop candidates: Carson Wentz (91% rostered) and Daniel Jones (60%). Even though Wentz had his best Fantasy outing with 23 points against the Bengals, he continues to struggle. Maybe the healthy return of Alshon Jeffery (foot) will help, but the Eagles also are down Dallas Goedert (ankle) now. As for Jones, it looks like it's going to be a long year for the Giants.

Running Backs
- Injuries of note: Tarik Cohen (ACL), Chris Carson (knee), Jerick McKinnon (ribs), Christian McCaffrey (ankle), Raheem Mostert (knee), Tevin Coleman (knee), Cam Akers (rib), Le'Veon Bell (hamstring), Phillip Lindsay (foot), Duke Johnson (ankle) and Justin Jackson (quad)
- Priority list: Myles Gaskin (64% rostered), Jeff Wilson (33%), Carlos Hyde (25%), Rex Burkhead (6%), Damien Harris (32%), Adrian Peterson (59%), Frank Gore (37%), Sony Michel (63%), Cordarrelle Patterson (6%), JaMychal Hasty (0%), Travis Homer (0%)
- Check to see if available: Cam Akers (83% rostered), Latavius Murray (82%), Phillip Lindsay (76%), Nyheim Hines (72%) and Chase Edmonds (66%). I'm not giving up on Akers yet, even though Henderson looks awesome. Murray and Edmonds are lottery ticket handcuffs who could be used as flex options in deeper leagues. Hines will have some big days ahead when the Colts are in competitive games. And Lindsay should still have a prominent role in tandem with Melvin Gordon when healthy.
- Handcuffs who matter: Alexander Mattison (64% rostered), Tony Pollard (59%), Benny Snell (59%), Boston Scott (46%), Darrel Williams (38%), Jamaal Williams (21%), Darrynton Evans (20%), Giovani Bernard (18%), Brian Hill (4%) and Jordan Wilkins (1%). These running backs could be great if the starter in front of them ever missed time. Stash them if you have an open roster spot.
- Potential drop candidates: Kerryon Johnson (60%) and Jordan Howard (56%). Johnson is third on the depth chart for the Lions and now worth a roster spot in most leagues. And despite scoring three touchdowns in three games, Howard has just 12 rushing yards on 16 carries.

Wide Receivers
- Injuries of note: Chris Godwin (hamstring), Diontae Johnson (concussion), John Brown (calf), Russell Gage (concussion), DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Mike Williams (hamstring), Michael Pittman (leg), Bryan Edwards (ankle), Sterling Shepard (toe), Davante Adams (hamstring), Julio Jones (hamstring), Henry Ruggs (hamstring), Parris Campbell (knee), Breshad Perriman (ankle), Michael Thomas (ankle), Jamison Crowder (hamstring), A.J. Brown (knee), Scotty Miller (hip/groin), Jalen Reagor (thumb) and Dontrelle Inman (wrist)
- Priority list: Justin Jefferson (39% rostered), Mecole Hardman (41%), N'Keal Harry (64%), Anthony Miller (56%), Preston Williams (62%), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (53%), Brandon Aiyuk (30%), Hunter Renfrow (42%), Keelan Cole (48%), Zach Pascal (6%), Scotty Miller (18%), Alshon Jeffery (17%), Tee Higgins (11%), Cole Beasley (30%), Andy Isabella (2%), K.J. Hamler (10%), TreQuan Smith (37%), Adam Humphries (13%), Chase Claypool (30%), Greg Ward (2%), James Washington (11%), Braxton Berrios (7%), Tim Patrick (1%) and Cedrick Wilson (0%)
- Check to see if available: Jamison Crowder (82% rostered), Sammy Watkins (80%), Corey Davis (77%), Russell Gage (75%), Deebo Samuel (74%), Laviska Shenault (71%) and Allen Lazard (69%). All of these receivers need to be rostered in all leagues, and Lazard would be the No. 1 receiver to add if available.
- Potential drop candidates: Henry Ruggs (83% rostered), DeSean Jackson (66%), Christian Kirk (55%) and Mike Williams (47%). Hopefully, Ruggs will be healthy soon, but he's not worth holding right now. The same goes for Jackson, Kirk and Williams. Maybe they can be added again later this season, but there are other receivers to pick up for now.

Tight End
- Injuries of note: Jared Cook (ankle), Dallas Goedert (ankle), Jordan Reed (knee), George Kittle (knee) and Dawson Knox (concussion)
- Priority list: Dalton Schultz (60% rostered), Eric Ebron (29%), Jimmy Graham (13%), Mo Alie-Cox (15%), Greg Olsen (18%), Logan Thomas (35%), Jordan Akins (6%), Drew Sample (17%), Tyler Kroft (0%)
- Check to see if available: Mike Gesicki (83% rostered). He didn't have a big game in Week 3 against Jacksonville, but he did score a touchdown. This week he faces a Seattle defense reeling in the secondary and likely without Jamal Adams (groin). Gesicki should be rostered in all leagues.
- Potential drop candidate: Dallas Goedert (86%). He could be out several weeks with his fractured ankle, and there's no reason to stash him in most re-draft leagues. Hopefully, he can return soon and continue to play at a high level, but you might have to cut him for the roster spot.
