It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season. We’ll certainly have you covered with our robust waiver wire advice each and every week.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Running Backs
Tank Bigsby‘s role has not grown at all this season behind Travis Etienne, leaving Bigsby as a stash-only player. The rookie is plenty talented and could still rise to be a thunder to Etienne’s lightning, but that certainly remains to be seen.
Rico Dowdle looked a bit more pedestrian in Dallas’ Week 4 blowout win over New England than he did against the Cardinals in Week 3. That should not shake the resolve around Dowdle taking on a pivotal role if Tony Pollard were to miss time. Dowdle is well-rounded and trusted by the Cowboys’ coaching staff.
Elijah Mitchell was ruled out in Week 4 with a knee injury, and it was Jordan Mason who assumed the miniscule supporting role behind Christian McCaffrey‘s prolific day. Mitchell is still the preferred stash whose role would be elevated in a massive way if CMC ever missed time. Mason is more of a special teams fill-in — unless Mitchell’s knee injury is more serious than previously thought.
If you blinked, you missed a nice cameo performance by Zamir White in Week 4. He looked very explosive in relief of Josh Jacobs — much better than Amir Abdullah. Stash White in deep bench leagues in hopes he sees a blossoming role.
Wide Receivers
I don’t know what dirt Brandon Johnson has on Sean Payton, but it must be good. That’s all I can think of at this point. Mims continues to crush with every opportunity he is given. He entered Week 4 near the top of any YPRR or TPRR list. He didn’t do anything in Week 4 to hurt that, as he finished with 3.91 yards per route run. Payton should play the rookie more. Mims should be a full-time player, but the assumption of rational coaching can be a dangerous bedfellow. Mims is a must-stash player. I’ll drink the rational coaching Kool-Aid here, though. There’s no way Payton can continue to play Johnson over Mims if he wants to win games this season.
