7 Waiver Wire Adds You Must Make Before Week 4

Your league-mates are already clicking "add" right now — the only question is whether you're going to beat them to the punch or spend all of Thursday refreshing the injury report like a helpless bystander. The waiver wire is legitimately loaded, and we've identified seven players worth burning priority or FAAB dollars on before the games kick off. Don't sleep on this.

1. Emanuel Wilson, RB, Seattle Seahawks

This is the clearest add on the entire wire right now. Wilson is the hottest name in fantasy after showing legitimate three-down upside in Seattle's backfield. The Seahawks have historically committed to a workhorse role at RB when a back earns it, and Wilson appears to be earning it in a hurry. His pass-catching ability out of the backfield separates him from the committee backs rotting on your waiver wire. If he's available in your league, this is a same-day, drop-someone-meaningful add. Don't overthink it.

2. Adonai Mitchell, WR, New York Jets

Here's the spicy take: Mitchell may be the most undervalued receiver in the entire league right now. The Jets have needed a legitimate number-two receiver for two full seasons, and Mitchell's route-running precision — a skill that translates regardless of quarterback — makes him a genuine threat to carve out a featured role quickly. At rank #162, you're essentially getting him for free. We think his ceiling this season is a 70-catch, 900-yard campaign if the Jets' offense gets any traction at all. Add him now before that ceiling becomes obvious to everyone.

3. Tyler Shough, QB, New Orleans Saints

Quarterback streamers are always a necessary evil, but Shough is more than that. The Saints handed him the keys in New Orleans, and a team that ranked top-ten in offensive pace gives any mobile QB a floor worth starting in two-QB or Superflex formats. Shough posted real numbers in his college career at Oregon and Texas Tech, and the Saints' offensive scheme could unlock exactly the kind of scramble-and-throw game that makes fantasy QBs tick. At rank #90, he's priced like a streamer but could end up a keeper.

4. Kyler Murray, QB, Minnesota Vikings

Quarterback streamers are always a necessary evil, but Murray is more than that. Ranked #87 overall — which means he's already being recognized — but he's somehow still sitting in a chunk of leagues unclaimed. The Vikings have a legitimate offensive infrastructure to support a dual-threat QB, and Murray's mobility and arm talent make him a genuine threat to carve out consistent fantasy production in two-QB or Superflex formats. We'd prioritize Murray over almost any other QB available outside the top 50 this week.

5. Jonah Coleman, RB, Denver Broncos

The contrarian pick on this list. Coleman is ranked #118 but the buzz around him feels almost muted compared to how his situation warrants. Denver's offensive line has quietly been one of the more improved units in recent memory, and Coleman's explosiveness in space — a trait that showed clearly on tape in the preseason — makes him dangerous even in a committee. If Denver's lead back misses any time, Coleman isn't just a handcuff. He's a league-winner. Stash him now before that injury forces your hand.

6. Keon Coleman, WR, Buffalo Bills

We'll be blunt: if you don't own Keon Coleman in a 12-team league, you've been making a mistake for three weeks now. The Bills' big-bodied receiver has the kind of contested-catch skillset that Josh Allen weaponizes in the red zone, and Buffalo's offense is built to funnel targets to exactly this type of receiver when games get tight in the fourth quarter. At rank #206, the market is still undervaluing him. We think Coleman finishes the season with double-digit touchdowns if he stays healthy. That's a WR2 with upside you're grabbing off waivers.

7. Terrance Ferguson, TE, Los Angeles Rams

Ferguson is the sneakiest add on this entire list. Ranked #141, he's flying under the radar in a Rams offense that has always — going back to the 2021 Super Bowl run — found creative ways to feature its tight end as a safety valve for a quarterback under pressure. Ferguson's blocking versatility keeps him on the field in run-heavy packages, which means he's accumulating snaps and building chemistry with the QB in a way that typically precedes a statistical breakout. In deeper leagues (14-team or deeper), Ferguson is a priority add. In 12-team leagues, he's the kind of speculative pickup that wins championships in December.

The waiver wire window is closing faster than you think, and the managers who act decisively right now are the ones who control their playoff destiny in November.
