Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 4

By Jon Mosales Published October 6, 2026 2 min read

Week four was again a crazy week of football. Anyone who went all-in for Ollie Gordon was handsomely rewarded.  It’s backup RB season and we saw Emanuel Wilson play great stepping in for Jadarian Price and we could see a new RB taking over in PHI.  This is not the time to sit back and relax

I’ll be pulling ownership percent’s from the three major fantasy platforms: Sleeper, Yahoo, and ESPN. The goal will be to have player available in over half of league only, there will be some player who are more widely rostered on various platforms. It’s always worth checking regardless of your league size, platform, etc. If a player is slightly above 50% but is a must roster, I will include them as well. The purpose of that is to help leagues of all size and experience levels. Not everything can be geared towards high level fantasy leagues, as casual leagues need advice too!

Quarterbacks

Kirk Cousins has discovered the fountain of youth.  He’s the QB7 on the season and is tied for the league lead in TDs and he played half the season without Brock Bowers.  Why is Cousins still available on the wire?  Unless you have Josh Allen, you should consider playing him this week. (FAAB: 2%)

Ownership: Yahoo 22%

Jalon Daniels wasn’t great in his first start, but I didn’t expect him to be.  He’s only viable in Super Flex leagues and he should be starting for a while as Baker Mayfield will miss at least a month.  He ran for 55 yards which is great, but what’s even better is the schedule with DAL up next.  DAL has been shredded on the ground by every QB, so Daniels has real appeal this week for his ability to rack up fantasy points on the ground. (FAAB 1-2%)

Ownership: Yahoo 2%
