Week 4 Fantasy Football Streaming Options: Jaylen Warren, Tank Dell, and More!
While we're still a few weeks away from bye weeks, everyone has at least one hole in their fantasy football roster due to injuries (maybe you drafted Nick Chubb), underperformance (Justin Fields, anyone?), or just bad drafting (not you, of course). However, holes can be filled and there are almost always good streaming options. It’s just a matter of finding them.
I'll be here every week trying to unearth the best streaming options that you can likely find on waivers and plug into your starting lineup for that week. There are some good ones out there for Week 4, so let's dig in!

Quarterback
Russell Wilson, Denver Broncos
Russ has put up two mediorce-to-bad games this year, but he also has top-3 finish to his name. With a juicy matchup against an awful Bears defense on tap, Wilson should put up top-15 quarterback fantasy numbers this week and has a good shot to finish as a top-10 fantasy quarterback. I understsand the urge to avoid all things Broncos after the 70-20 defeat, but Wilson is still a good streaming option this week.
Jameis Winston, New Orleans Saints
This one isn't for the faint of heart as Winston could just as likely throw for 150 yards and three interceptions as he could 300 yards and three touchdowns. But he has a great matchup against the Buccaneers and has a great cadre of offensive weapons around him. With Alvin Kamara back in the fold this week, things are setting up nicely for Winston to be a sneaky Week 4 start.

Running Back
Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers
Najee Harris continues to exist and will cap Warren's upside, but Warren has looked like the better of the two Steelers' running backs through three weeks of the season. While he hasn't seen double-digit carries in a game yet, Warren is averaging five targets a game so there's a nice floor for PPR leagues here. With a matchup against the Texans coming up this week, we may finally see Warren hit double-digit carries as a flex option in deeper leagues.
Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears
Similarly to Warren, Johnson has looked like the better of the Bears' two running back alongside Kahlil Herbert. Johnson also hasn't seen double-digit carries in a game yet, but he's trending that way and has been on the field for almost half of the Bears' snaps over the past two weeks. While he doesn't provide the receiving floor Warren does, Johnson has 10 receptions on the season so he's not far behind. Get Johnson in there as a flex option in deeper leagues.

Wide Receiver
Tank Dell, Houston Texans
I'm not sure Dell counts as a streamer at this point, but I'm running with it. The rookie has looked fantastic over the last two weeks and is averaging six catches for 108.5 yards, and a touchdown over that span. I don't think he'll repeat that average every week, but he's going to see close to double-digit targets and is playing his way into becoming a must-start at this point. Get him in there against the Steelers.
Elijah Moore, Cleveland Browns
The good news? Moore is seeing a ton of targets with an average of over eight per game this season. The bad news? They've been low-value targets and he's averaging just over 42 receiving yards per game. All that said, I'm learning into the usage here as the Browns have also been giving him some designed runs. With a matchup against a bad Ravens secondary coming up this week, I think Moore is a safe flex option.
More under-the-radar wide receiver streamers: Quentin Johnson, Josh Downs
Tight End
Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills
Similarly to Dell, I'm not sure Kincaid counts as a streamer anymore, but we're going with it. The rookie continues to exist alongside fellow tight end Dalton Knox so his value is a little capped, but he has a ton of upside and a nice matchup against the Dolphins this week. He's going to go off one of these games and he's no riskier than any other tight end not named Travis Kelce, T.J. Hockenson, and Mark Andrews.
Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Chargers
While this is more of a "someone has to step in for Mike Williams" play than anything, Everett saw six targets last week so it's not unlikely. It's worth noting he missed pracdtice on Thursday with an illness so this bears watching, but Everett has a chance to see at least five or six targets against a bad Raiders defense this week.
More under-the-radar tight end streamers: Cole Kmet, Zach Ertz
Alright, my friends. That’ll do it for this week.
I wish you all the best of luck in Week 4, and I’ll see you back here next week to see if we can find some hidden gems for Week 5!
