Rankings & injury analysis ·

Week 4 waivers run Sep 29 – Oct 5, with most leagues processing Wednesday morning. Every name below comes off the live Draft Waiver board: value over replacement at the position, how soft the defense in front of them is, and how much offense they are attached to. Bids are a share of a full-season FAAB budget, so scale them to what you have left.

Who to drop

  • Justin Herbert (LAC, QB) — @ SEA is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.
  • Brock Purdy (SF, QB) — vs DEN is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.
  • Najee Harris (LAC, RB) — @ SEA is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.
  • Jake Ferguson (DAL, TE) — @ HOU is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.
  • Zach Charbonnet (SEA, RB) — vs LAC is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.
  • Keon Coleman (BUF, WR) — vs NE is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.

What matters most this week

  • Rome Odunze (CHI, WR) is the week's top add — smash spot matchup vs NYJ, worth about 6% of a full FAAB budget.
  • Travis Hunter is the cheaper way in: same tier of usage at roughly 6% FAAB.
  • No teams are on bye, so bid conservatively — the pool stays shallow.
  • Roster space: Justin Herbert is the safest cut if you need a spot.
