Week 4 was a high-scoring affair and I'm sure some of you are seeking reinforcements despite dropping 150! Keep one foot on the ground and don't burn down the roster if you're above average in Total Points. The matchup variance will even out. That said, there are some key additions available in plenty of leagues. Let's get into the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 5.
This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.
Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
