Fantasy Football: Must-Stash Players Before Week 4 | FFT Express

Top Waiver Wire Stashes for Week 4

• 🎯 Troy Franklin (WR, Broncos) is highlighted as a top stash due to significant target volume and potential to become the Broncos' number two target.
• 💡 Franklin possesses speed, playmaking ability after the catch, and good chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix, making him a potential flex play.

Quarterback Stash Options

• 📈 Jake Browning (QB, Bengals) remains available in many leagues and is a steady starter capable of being a good fantasy quarterback, despite a tough Week 4 matchup.
• 🌟 Matthew Stafford (QB, Rams) is recommended for Week 4 against Indianapolis, with expectations of a strong performance.
• 🤔 Other quarterback stashes include Sam Darnold, Will Wentz (if healthy), and J.J. McCarthy (in deeper leagues) who face defenses that have shown vulnerabilities.

Running Back Stashes to Monitor

• 🏃 Woody Mars (RB, Texans) is a stash option, particularly if Joe Mixon doesn't return or Nick Chubb doesn't impress.
• 🛡️ Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols (RBs, Commanders) are deep stashes, with Rodriguez favored but McNichols noted for his pass-protecting ability.
• 🚀 Caleb Johnson is a patient stash option who is expected to matter at some point.
• 💥 Bashard Smith (RB, Chiefs) could see work if Isiah Pacheco struggles, and Blake Corum (RB, Rams) is poised for a larger role if Kyren Williams falters or gets injured.

Wide Receiver Stashes and Deep Sleepers

• 🌟 Rasheed Shaheed (WR, Saints) and Christian Kirk (WR, Jaguars) are recommended as players who can be used in Week 3 and potentially beyond, offering safe short-area targets.
• 💨 Josh Palmer (WR, Bills) is a deep stash, noted for his target share and potential if the Bills' offense opens up.
• 💎 Alec Pierce (WR, Colts) and Dantavian Wicks (WR, Packers) are mentioned as deep stash candidates, with Wicks being a priority reach if available.
• 🤕 Jaylen Waddle and Christian Watson are IR stashes if available.

Tight End Stashes

• 🎯 Harold Fannon (TE, Saints) is startable in Week 4 despite a tough matchup, offering good target potential.
• 📈 Isaiah Likely (TE, Ravens) is back at practice and a viable stash option.
• 💡 Colston Loveland (TE, Vikings) has potential for increased targets as the team looks to involve their tight ends more.
