Draft Sharks - Fantasy Football Podcast

De’Von Achane is done for the season. Breece Hall and Travis Etienne are dealing with injuries. That puts some potentially valuable running backs at the top of the Week 4 fantasy football waiver wire.
Matt Schauf and Jared Smola of DraftSharks.com break down the top Week 4 waiver pickups, led by Braelon Allen and Ollie Gordon. We’ll dig into the backfield usage you need to know, plus whether Kenyon Sadiq, Keenan Allen, Kendre Miller, and Alvin Kamara belong on your waiver list.
We’ll also hit a sneaky PPR option in Miami and the defenses you should consider streaming in Weeks 4 and 5.
Want waiver recommendations built specifically for your team? The Draft Sharks Free Agent Finder syncs with your league, checks who’s actually available, accounts for your scoring and lineup settings, and recommends exactly who to add and drop.
