As the season https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/welington-castillo-jersey moves forward, the waiver wire options only get thinner and thinner for fantasy football owners. Right now is a crucial time to add free agents and waiver pickups before early-season sleepers and breakouts turn into mainstays on other teams' rosters. There are still some guys worth watching, as target shares and running back position battles are still pre sing forward. Our waiver wire watchlist for Week 4 will help you identify those guys Week 3 even starts. Sam Darnold, Teddy Bridgewater, Alexander Mattison, and Austin Hooper are some of the hottest names right now who are widely available. If Bridgewater and Darnold continue playing at high levels, Mattison takes over for an injures Dalvin Cook, or Hooper keeps leading the Browns in targets, then these guys could be scooped up in a hurry.Some leagues don't have enough roster spots to nece sarily take advantage of "planning ahead," but for https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/james-shields-jersey those in leagues that do (or if you have players on IR or usele s players you want to cut), our week-ahead watchlist will be helpful every week. Grabbing a player or two before the weekend when they're still free agents can pay off big time if those players have good games. Your spot in the waiver order is valuable, and you want to save it as long as po sible. At the very least, it's good to have a list of names of players to watch on Sunday so you can monitor snap share and targets/touches, and it's always smart to claim streamers at positions like TE or D/ST before there's competition for them.WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Reminder: This list was put together in the lead-in to Week 3, looking forward to the players who could be popular waiver-wire targets ahead of Week 4.If you have a roster spot to play with, these are free-agent options you could grab early to beat the waiver buzz. All these players are below 50-percentownership on Yahoo unle s otherwise specified. WEEK 3 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Jameis Winston, Saints (52)Winston had a disastrous performance in Week 2 at Carolina, but it's too early to completely give up on him. Carolina evidently has a top-notch defense, and the Saints https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/bo-jackson-jersey ' skill players will eventually get healthy. They play New England in Week 3, so we're not advising you to roll him out there, but he has a date with the Giants in Week 4, followed by Washington, Seattle, https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/yasmani-grandal-jersey Tampa, Atlanta, and Tenne see -- all statistically solid matchups.Derek Carr, Raiders (45)What Carr has done so far this season is seemingly going underappreciated. He's the No. 9 fantasy QB (24.6fantasy points per game) and leads the league in pa sing yards (817). To make this more impre sive, he's done this against the Ravens and Steelers. While the Ravens pa s defense doesn't look all that impre sive, isn't it po sible they've just played two elite offenses in Kansas City and Las Vegas? Carr has more upside than you think going forward, and that includes Week 4 against the Chargers.RookiesTrey Lance, 49ers(36) and Zach Wilson, Jets (12)Mac Jones is off thislist for now, as it's apparent he's strictly going to be a game manager moving forward. Justin Fields is now be too heavily owned after being named the Bears starter (at least for one week).However, Lance continues to drop in ownership as people grow impatient with him not being the starter for San Francisco yet. For those who can afford the roster spots, he's still worth the stash. Just imagine having a dual-threat quarterback in the Kyle Shanahan offense when the fantasy playoffs roll around. Wilson looked awful against New England, throwing four interceptions to zero touchdowns. Didn't we expect that, though? Still, the Jets will be playing from behind a lot this year, and a matchup with the Titans comes https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/jose-abreu-jersey in Week 4, who will be as generous as any pa s defense in the NFL this year. Plus, Corey Davis "revenge game."Daniel Jones, Giants (36)Jones has averaged 24.5FPPG thus far, and it's hard to believe he's just 36-percent owned heading into a Week 3 matchup with Atlanta. With his rushing floor, he might turn out to be matchup proof, so even a Week 4 date with the Saints isn't too intimidating. If Saquon Barkley gets healthy, perhaps the Giants will turn down the dial on Jones rushing attempts, but he's always going to be a threat to scramble. He's quietly the QB5 in fantasy up to this point.Teddy Bridgewater, Broncos (26) There seems to be some lag here with Bridgewater. He hasn't been the cla sic 'dink-and-dunk' quarterback that we usually a sociate him with. In fact, he's fifth in https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/luke-appling-jersey the league with 701 air yards through two weeks. He plays the Jets in Week 3, so it's a surprise he's still available in most leagues. Moving forward, he plays the Ravens, Steelers, Raiders, and Browns. These aren't the sexiest of matchups, but his production has been https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/miguel-gonzalez-jersey good enough so far that it wouldn't be all that surprising if he still has solid games when the competition picks up.Sam Darnold, Panthers (19)Don't shoot the me senger, but Darnold has looked good. It can be weird to adjust to, but he's been a top-15 fantasy quarterback through Weeks 1 and 2. You might be thinking this is just due to having weak opponents thus far, and you might be right. However, the weak opponents are going to keep coming. After taking on Houston in Week 3, he'll face Dallas, Philadelphia, Minnesota, New York (Giants), and Atlanta. It's not until after that stretch of games that he'll play a defense we know is good (New England).WEEK 3 FANTASY: | | Michael Carter (54);Tevin Coleman (14); Ty Johnson (9), JetsCarter somewhat impre sed in Week 3 vs. New England, wracking up 88 yards on 13 touches. Against a solid defense, 6.7 yards/touch is more than you can ask for. Does this https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/jace-fry-jersey mean he'll separate himself from Johnson and Coleman moving forward? We don't know, but it's not out of the question. The Jets play Tenne see and Atlanta in Weeks 4and 5, so we could have something here with Carter. Like usual, keep an eye on all three of these RBs, as any could lead the team in carries in a given week. Coleman was that guy in Week 1; Johnson got the nod by one over Carter in Week 2.James White, Patriots (54)James White is a perfect flex option in PPR leagues. He's caught 12 pa ses on 13 targets thus far and is Mac Jones' security blanket, just like he was for Tom Brady. Satelite backs are often matchup-proof, as they get easy yards on dump-downs.Zack Mo s, Bills(52) Mo s got 10 touches in Week 3, but he only produced 34 yards. However, he did score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. He's been a disappointment thus far this year, but keep an eye on him. His usage could increase moving forward, although that's not a guarantee. Devin Singletary has been the clear early-game lead back thus far.David Johnson (45); Phillip Lindsay (37), Texans https://www.hiwhitesoxgearfan.com/chicago-white-sox-jersey/reynaldo-lopez-jersey Nothing much has changed
