WIRE FIRE | WAIVER WIRE PICKUPS | WEEK 4
Caleb Williams looks fixed (for now). Bo Nix? He’s next in line to torch Cincy. Trey Benson is surging, Blake Corum could be on deck, and somehow Hunter Henry is still out there in nearly 40% of leagues while sitting as TE3. These are the waiver wire moves you need to make. Don’t hold back.

QUARTERBACK STREAMER OF THE WEEK
Bo Nix vs CIN
Nix enters Week 4 as QB20, still recovering from a rough opener. But over the last two weeks, he’s averaged 17.3 fantasy points against Indy and the Chargers, both top-tier defenses allowing fewer than 200 passing yards per game and sub-80 QB ratings. Carson Wentz, fresh out of street clothes, just walked in and threw 2 TDs with a 129.8 passer rating against this Bengals defense. This should set up as Nix’s best performance of the young season.
RUNNINGBACK
Trey Benson | Arizona Cardinals | 52% rostered | 50%+ FAAB
Available in about half of Yahoo leagues, Benson should be a priority add. He’s already cutting into James Conner’s workload—outgaining him 119 to 96 yards over the first two weeks on nearly half the touches. Benson carries weekly RB1 upside and instantly upgrades any roster. Go big on your FAAB—no regrets.
Tyjae Spears | Tennessee Titans | 30% rostered | 3–5% FAAB
A cheap, speculative add with stash appeal. Spears is due back after this week and flashed again in camp and preseason before suffering another injury. He’s available in nearly 70% of leagues, making him an easy IR stash with PPR upside.
Blake Corum | Los Angeles Rams | 17% rostered | 2–3% FAAB
Kyren Williams dominated in Week 3, but Corum still logged 8 carries for 53 yards. He’s showing how effective he can be in relief, efficient on the ground, and a candidate for goal-line work. If anything happens to Kyren, Corum would step right into significant fantasy relevance.
WIDE RECEIVER
Christian Kirk | Houston Texans | 34% rostered | 2–3% FAAB
After missing the first two weeks, Kirk returned to earn 7 targets with an aDOT over 10 yards. The result was a modest 3 catches for 25 yards, but better days are ahead. He complements Nico Collins well, and this offense will lean on his reliability as it looks to improve from a bottom-10 passing offense.
Romeo Doubs | Green Bay Packers | 32% rostered | 1–2% FAAB
Doubs leads the Packers in routes run and air yards through three weeks. With Jayden Reed sidelined for awhile, he’s locked into a near every-down role (70%+ snap share). You’re betting on volume and opportunity here, which gives Doubs a steady weekly floor as a 2nd Flex option, especially with Bye weeks around the corner.
TIGHT END
Hunter Henry | New England Patriots | 61% rostered | 10–15% FAAB
Drake Maye’s most trusted target, Henry leads the Patriots in target share, receptions, yards, and touchdowns. At a position starved for consistency, that’s gold. Outside of the elite tier, this is about as much confidence as you can have in your tight end.
