Our favorite high-upside waiver wire bench stashes, fantasy football sleepers for Week 4 of 2026. Waiver wire stashes include Kendre Miller, Tre' Harris, and more.
Week 3 showed the importance of stashing high-end backups, since in the event of an injury, they can become high-end fantasy assets. The major story was the Miami Dolphins' running back De'Von Achane suffering a torn ACL, keeping him on the shelf for the remainder of the season.
In this piece, we will look at four sneaky stash targets who are widely available and could see their fantasy value increase over the next few weeks.
Who should we be stashing this week? Let's dive in!

High-Upside Waiver Wire Bench Stashes
Only players rostered in fewer than 30% of fantasy football leagues are considered potential streamers.
Tyler Goodson, RB, DAL
2% Rostered
Let's start this list off with a deep league stash. While Emari Demercado was expected to operate as Javonte Williams' backup for much of the 2026 season, he was listed as a healthy scratch on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Tyler Goodson was promoted to the coveted handcuff role in one of the league's top offenses.
While this could continue to rotate over the seasons, it appears Goodson has the coaching staff's preference, which matters for fantasy. Goodson does not have the most impressive history of NFL production (60 carries for 288 yards), but if Williams were to miss time, he could see a large share of the backfield work.
He is a solid stash option in deeper 12+ team leagues, as Week 3 showed us the importance of stashing backup running backs.
Jaylen Wright, RB, MIA
5% Rostered
While much of the focus has been on Ollie Gordon II, who took over lead duties once De'Von Achane exited Sunday's contest, savvy managers should stash Jaylen Wright ahead of Week 4 in case this backfield shifts to a committee. With Achane suffering a torn ACL, the Dolphins will lean on Gordon and Wright to lead the backfield for the remainder of the season.
While Wright was unable to play in Week 3 due to a foot injury (which allowed Gordon to emerge as the top waiver wire target ahead of Week 4), Wright could return to practice this week, putting him in position to suit up in Week 4. Last season, Wright outperformed Gordon in the backup role as he took 70 carries for 28 yards and two scores.
When Achane missed time in Week 14, it was Wright who took the lead role, logging 24 carries for 107 yards and a score. While Gordon should still maintain fantasy value, Wright could quickly emerge as the "lead" in this new committee.
Kendre Miller, RB, NO
1% Rostered
With Travis Etienne Jr. set to miss time with a hamstring injury, Kendre Miller is now firmly on the fantasy radar. While much of the work will go to veteran Alvin Kamara, managers should consider stashing Miller ahead of Week 4, as he has shown flashes of upside this season.
In Week 1, Miller got the nod in the red zone over Etienne as he took nine carries for 30 yards and a rushing score. He did not suit up in Week 2 but returned in Week 3, logging four carries for 14 yards and seeing three more targets in the passing game.
Kamara will be the short-term replacement, but Miller could emerge as the go-to option near the red zone. He is a solid stash in all 12-team leagues, as he could carry weekly FLEX upside if Etienne's injury continues to linger.
Kendre Miller gets the Saints on the board

Tre' Harris, WR, LAC
4% Rostered
The Chargers offense has struggled to be consistent this season. However, a bright spot has been second-year wideout Tre' Harris. While many didn't expect Harris to carve out a prominent role, he has seen a high target share from Justin Herbert and continues to improve weekly. In Week 1, he drew six targets and caught only three of them.
In Week 2, he would tally a much higher 63 yards, and in Week 3, he would end up leading the team in receptions, yards, and targets, with six catches for 76 yards (on seven targets). While Ladd McConkey remains the "WR1", Harris now has a clear path to take over the No. 2 role from the struggling Quentin Johnston.
Johnston has seen at least five targets in all three games but has only managed to catch six of them for a low 64 yards. If Johnston continues to slump, Harris could have weekly FLEX upside. He is not a viable play in Week 4, but he could hold standalone value later in the season.
