It’s still Week 3, but it can pay to be looking ahead to Week 4 and beyond to consider the players on waivers that you might stash. Go ahead and grab them now rather than having an all-out waiver-wire war with your fellow league mates in a few days’ time.

This column will take a look ahead each week at players rostered in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stashes Ahead of Week 4

Rashod Bateman (WR – BAL) – 48% Rostered

Odell Beckham Jr. is set to miss the Ravens Week 3 matchup with a Colts defense that could be described as average at best, and in his absence, it could be time for Rashod Bateman‘s first blowout game of 2023. Bateman had two big weeks to start the 2022 season before succumbing to a lisfranc injury, and the Ravens have been cautious in his return to the field. Sooner or later the Ravens will take the training wheels off Bateman, because ultimately, they have to see from the third-year, former round-one pick, and against the Colts, with fewer options in the running game and passing game, Bateman’s breakout could be incoming.

Robert Woods (WR – HOU) – 20% Rostered

Yes, Robert Woods is 31 years old, but right now, he’s looking pretty good for that age and has had the eleventh most targets among wide receivers through two games. The Texans defense is in a bad state, and because of that CJ Stroud has the fourth-most passing yards of all quarterbacks, and that was before they lost Derek Stingley Jr. (cornerback) to IR, potentially pushing the Texans into even more pass-heavy game scripts.
