TE Cole Kmet - Chicago Bears (26.1% rostered)
After Gerald Everett out-snapped Cole Kmet in Week 1, many believed that it was time to move on from Kmet and let him go in fantasy football. He is back to dominating the snap counts at over 80 percent on Sunday, and it showed with him finishing as the TE2 in Week 3. He is a priority add among teams streaming at tight end or dealing with injuries, especially at a position that has been a disaster to start the season.

QB Sam Darnold - Minnesota Vikings (16.3% rostered on ESPN)
The Minnesota Vikings and Sam Darnold have been the surprise of the season thus far, and it's pushed Darnold to the point of legitimate fantasy relevance. He is currently QB4 on the season in fantasy points per game and looks the most comfortable he ever has in his career within the team's system. If you are struggling at quarterback, he's an elite pickup entering Week 4.

RB Bucky Irving - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (32.8% rostered)
It feels like it's been coming since the start of the season, but we might finally see the worm turn in the Buccaneers backfield in Week 4. Bucky Irving out-produced Rachaad White in Sunday's loss to the Broncos and looked far superior. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles told reporters that Irving has earned more reps going forward, so this is likely your last chance to scoop him up in your leagues.
RB Roschon Johnson - Chicago Bears (0.8% rostered)
The Bears' backfield has been nothing short of a disaster to start the year, with D'Andre Swift looking like the worst starting running back in the league. It forced head coach Matt Eberflus to make a change, which led to second-year back Roschon Johnson getting 12 touches for 62 yards. The talent has always been there for Johnson, and you don't want to miss out if he becomes the starter in Week 4.
RB Tyler Badie - Denver Broncos (0.0% rostered)
Like Chicago, the Broncos are seriously struggling to get production out of their running backs. Javonte Williams does not look like a starting RB, leaving some ambiguity on the future of the workload. Tyler Badie came out of nowhere to earn nine carries for 70 yards, including a 48-yard run where he showed some serious burst. He is available in nearly every league and is worth a stash if he continues to get some of the workload in Week 4.

WR Jauan Jennings - San Francisco 49ers (36.0% rostered)
With Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle all absent on Sunday, it felt like it would be the Brandon Aiyuk Show on Sunday. Instead, in perhaps the most unexpected performance of the season, Jauan Jennings hung 46.5 PPR points on the Los Angeles Rams. If these injuries linger for the San Francisco offense, he must be started in Week 4 in all formats. Consider putting a hefty FAAB bid on him this week.
WR DeMario Douglas - New England Patriots (28.5% rostered)
DeMario Douglas feels like the only pass-catcher worth rostering within this New England team. This is simply one of the worst offenses in the NFL right now, but Douglas was still able to muster up seven receptions and 69 yards in a game where nothing was working for the Patriots. He was a clear focal point and could emerge as the top option going forward, making him an intriguing add for teams that need to fill a flex spot.
WR Wan'Dale Robinson - New York Giants (14.8% rostered)
While Malik Nabers is stealing all of the headlines in New York, Wan'Dale Robinson has been a steady second option for Daniel Jones. He made six receptions for 44 yards and even got a 14-yard rush in the win over the Browns. It's not the sexiest pickup of the season but in a week where there aren't many options on waivers, he's a solid addition.
TE Cole Kmet - Chicago Bears (26.1% rostered)
After Gerald Everett out-snapped Cole Kmet in Week 1, many believed that it was time to move on from Kmet and let him go in fantasy football. He is back to dominating the snap counts at over 80 percent on Sunday, and it showed with him finishing as the TE2 in Week 3. He is a priority add among teams streaming at tight end or dealing with injuries, especially at a position that has been a disaster to start the season.
