Quarterback Waiver Targets
Daniel Jones emerges as a key waiver target due to his increasing chemistry with rookie receiver Malik Nabors, making him a viable option in many fantasy leagues. With strong performances in recent games, including two passing touchdowns, he is projected as a QB 14 while facing a struggling Cowboys pass defense, presenting an opportunity for success. Gino Smith also stands out as another target; he has demonstrated past success against the Lions, showing scoring potential aided by a solid supporting cast of receivers. As a result, both quarterbacks could bolster a fantasy lineup during week four.
Running Back Prospects
Bucky Irving is highlighted as a running back to target from waivers, showcasing his efficiency and potential for increased playing time. As he continues to impress, his role is expected to grow, especially if Rashad White remains healthy, positioning him as a solid flex option going forward. Additionally, players like Braelon Allen could provide RB3 flex value in advantageous game scripts, particularly against weaker defenses. This underscores the importance of snatching up these running backs early to capitalize on their upward trajectories.
Wide Receiver Dark Horses
Juwan Jennings is making waves after a standout performance, particularly with multiple touchdowns amidst injuries to key offensive players. His opportunity is enhanced as he may serve as a primary target if Deebo Samuel and George Kittle continue to miss time, making him a worthwhile addition to any fantasy roster. Conversely, Romeo Dobbs presents potential value as he operates as the number one receiver in the Packers' offense, especially with Jordan Love returning to the lineup. This complements a fantasy strategy of targeting under-the-radar players who can offer significant returns in short spurts.
