Accidents are going to open issues up for a lot of the high provides shifting ahead, and going into Week 4, that is exactly the case. We’re right here to get you forward of the sport and able to make these waiver claims.

Ollie Gordon II, RB, Dolphins (2% rostered on Yahoo)
The Dolphins are monitoring to be one of many worst groups within the NFL this season. That does not imply they cannot have not less than a couple of viable fantasy soccer choices. Maybe the one one was RB De’Von Achane, who exited within the first quarter versus the Chiefs in Week 3 resulting from a knee damage. Whereas we do not know the severity or if Achane will miss time, if that’s the case, we all know Gordon’s function will improve loads.

After Achane left the competition, Gordon instantly scored a landing on what was one among Miami’s finest drives of the previous six seasons. He ended up ending the sport with 17 carries for 41 yards and a landing (3 catches, 14 yards) for 13.4 fantasy factors. Gordon was pressured to exit late within the recreation resulting from cramps however was capable of return.
If Achane is sidelined, Gordon turns into one of many high provides for Week 4 and would provide RB3/flex worth with upside. The Dolphins is probably not in lots of run-positive recreation scripts however Gordon would nonetheless be in line for loads of snaps/touches. Jaylen Wright was inactive in Week 3 and DJ Herman possible would not command many (if any) touches.
Braelon Allen, RB, Jets (18% rostered)
Talking of injured RB1s, Breece Corridor needed to go away within the second half versus the Lions after being tackled awkwardly and was dominated out with a thigh damage. That sort of damage would not scream long-term absence, however we now have to get some extra data on Corridor.

Braelon Allen is the following man up for the Jets within the backfield and we all know he could make performs when referred to as upon. He had 334 dashing yards, 19 catches for 148 yards and three TDs as a rookie a couple of seasons in the past. If Corridor is out, Allen ought to take over because the lead again with Isaiah Davis mixing in. The Jets face the Bears and Browns the following few weeks, and if Corridor sits, Allen could be an RB2/3 in PPR codecs.
Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Jets (17% rostered)
We have not had many rookies make a big effect to date in 2026 however Sadiq might carve out a stable function on this improved Jets offense. Sadiq received his second profession TD, and first as a receiver, in Week 3 versus the Lions. He’d end the sport with seven receptions for 105 yards and the TD for 20 fantasy factors.
Geno Smith appears nice throwing behind this revamped offensive line. There are extra mouths to feed than we anticipated in New York however Sadiq might develop chemistry with the veteran QB whereas WRs Omar Cooper Jr. and Adonai Mitchell are sidelined. The Jets additionally may very well be with out Garrett Wilson, who left late within the recreation after taking an enormous hit.
We’re nearly into the beginning of bye weeks (Week 5), so Sadiq is not a nasty add in case you want depth at tight finish or a streaming possibility with TE1 upside.
