K.J. Osborn is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 4 of the 2022 NFL season.

ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: There was plenty of preseason hype about Osborn in this new offense that was supposed to be more aggressive and utilize a third receiver more often. That's why he was one of my top draft sleepers. But the first two games made it look like he wasn't being favored by the coaching staff when he drew a total of six targets.

Now, it is like deja vu all over again from the season opener of 2021. Osborn was the leading receiver against Detroit with 73 yards while Justin Jefferson was an afterthought, catching three balls for 14 yards.
It won't continue this way, just as it didn't last year. But it is clear that Osborn has upside in this offense, especially in prime matchups. It might be tough sledding when the Vikes take on the Saints in Week 4 and it could be a get-right game for Jefferson.
Osborn gets the Bears and Dolphins the next two weeks, who rank 12th and sixth respectively in most net yards per pass attempt allowed.
