As a result, fantasy football managers will be on the lookout for wavier wire additions and replacement options for those injured over the weekend or just to bolster their lineup moving forward. Here are a few players to consider adding via the fantasy football waiver wire this week. And here is all of our Week 4 fantasy football waiver wire advice.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

DeMario Douglas (NE): 7% rostered

• Next Opponents: @SF, MIA, HOU
• True value: $4
• Desperate Need: $6
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Finally, the Patriots turned to arguably their best receiver for help with the aerial attack in Week 3. Douglas swallowed up a 34.6% target share, a 45.9% air-yard share and a 47.4% first-read share with 2.46 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). It was a wonderful performance for a player who proved last year he belongs in this league and as a trusted part of an NFL passing attack. Douglas has two wonderful matchups in the next two weeks that should put him firmly in the flex conversation for fantasy GMs. The 49ers and Dolphins have allowed the second-most and eighth-most PPR points per target to slot receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).

Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG): 20% rostered

• Next Opponents: DAL, @SEA, CIN
• True value: $4
• Desperate Need: $6
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Through three games, Robinson has earned single-game target shares of 28.5%, 14.2% and 23.5%. Can anyone spot the outlier in this sample? Yeah, Robinson will be heavily involved weekly as the Giants’ WR2 behind Malik Nabers. In those two high target-share games, Robinson averaged 6.5 receptions and 52.5 receiving yards. These are strong numbers that will go overlooked and disrespected by your league mates. Don’t be the fantasy manager who is blinded by the wretched stink of the Giants’ offense. Robinson looks like a solid weekly flex play moving forward, especially in PPR settings.

Quentin Johnston (GB): 45% rostered

• Next Opponents: KC, BYE, @DEN
• True value: $2
• Desperate Need: $4
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Johnston keeps doing it. He keeps scoring touchdowns, with three across his last two games. His Week 3 stat line wasn’t nearly as impressive, though. Johnston did lead the Chargers’ wide receivers in snaps while tying for the team lead in routes, but he only managed a 10% target share to go along with his team-leading 44 receiving yards (tied with Ladd McConkey). I understand if you want to stay in the flames with Johnston and ride the lightning, but his production is walking a thin line of unsustainability. Johnston isn’t high on my waiver list this week. His next two matchups against Kansas City and Denver aren’t cakewalks.

Successful In-Season Fantasy Football Management

Once your fantasy football team is drafted, the work is not over. Successful in-season management is crucial to a winning fantasy football season. Here are some tips to help you manage your team effectively throughout the season:

Stay up to date on player news
Keep track of player injuries, suspensions, and other news that may impact their performance. This will help you make informed decisions about which players to start each week.

Monitor the waiver wire
Keep an eye on the waiver wire and be ready to pick up players who may be undervalued or overlooked by other teams. This can provide valuable depth to your roster. Use our waiver wire assistant to view optimal lineups, waiver and trade suggestions, and league analysis.

Analyze matchups
Analyze the upcoming matchups for your players and opponents to determine which players to start in your lineup each week. Look for favorable matchups and take into account the strength of the opposing team’s defense.

Stay active in trades
Be open to trading players with other teams if it will benefit your team. Analyze the potential impact of a trade before making a decision and negotiate with other teams to find a mutually beneficial agreement.

Be prepared for bye weeks
Plan ahead for bye weeks by having backup players ready to fill in for your starters. Avoid having too many players with the same bye week, which can leave your team short-handed.

Don’t overreact to one bad week
Avoid overreacting to one bad week of performance by a player. Take a long-term view of their performance and evaluate their potential moving forward.

Continuously evaluate your roster
Continuously evaluate your roster throughout the season and make adjustments as needed. Be willing to drop underperforming players or make changes to your lineup if necessary.
