Ted Hurst III Could be Deep-League Stash Option
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst III scored his first career touchdown during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Hurst caught a 40-yard deep ball from quarterback Baker Mayfield during the first half of Sunday's game. Hurst didn't do anything else after that, finishing with one reception on four targets in the loss. The rookie wideout has made some solid plays early in the season and is hopeful to get a larger role as the season goes on. Hurst could be an interesting deep league stash option, but his value could take a hit with Jalon Daniels likely taking over under center for a few weeks.

Tre' Harris is Gaining Trust After Solid Performance
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris was able to break out during this past weekend's matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Harris was fairly quiet during the first two games of the year, but he made a solid impact on Sunday. Harris hauled in six of his seven targets for 76 yards in the loss to the Bills. Both the receptions and receiving yards are new season high for Harris. The hope is that this good performance will lead to more opportunities for Harris during the Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots. Harris is worth a look in deep leagues after this six-catch performance.

Mack Hollins Makes for an Interesting Deep-League Option
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins stepped up for this offense this past weekend. Hollins hauled in six of his nine targets for 87 yards in the blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Pats are without A.J. Brown (ankle) right now, so they needed someone to step up. Hollins did a nice job on Sunday and figures to earn himself a bigger role in the offense going forward. The 33-year-old clearly has good chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye. Fantasy managers needing wide receiver help in deep leagues should consider adding Hollins ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Brenton Strange Gaining Value After Seeing Five Targets
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has been off to a slow start to begin the season. The 25-year-old was able to get a little more involved in the offense during the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. Strange hauled in three of his five targets for 32 yards in the blowout win. It's not the best performance on paper, but the five targets are a good sight for the fourth-year tight end. The hope is that the Jaguars continue to keep getting Strange involved with a handful of targets each week. Strange will have a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals defense in Week 4. He should be on the TE2 radar for that one.

Adonai Mitchell Offers Intriguing Stash Value
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) was inactive for the Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions. The hope is that Mitchell will be back for the Week 4 matchup against the Chicago Bears. If he's active, Mitchell could be an interesting streaming option this upcoming weekend. In Week 2, Mitchell hauled in six of his 12 targets for 63 yards in the loss to the Green Bay Packers. The expectation is that Mitchell would once again see heavy usage if he can play in Week 4. The Jets are without Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) and Mason Taylor (thumb) at the moment. Given the lack of options, Mitchell could see plenty of opportunities in the coming weeks for this Jets offense.

Keaton Mitchell a Worthy Waiver-Wire Target Following Solid Week 3
Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell had his best game of the 2026 season in Week 3, recording 47 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 11 touches in his team's 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Mitchell has recorded 95 scrimmage yards on 21 touches across the Chargers' first three games of the season, and his production upside is limited by the presence of Los Angeles RB1 Omarion Hampton. However, Mitchell's usage has scaled up each week, and he played just three fewer snaps than Hampton in Week 3. While Hampton should be expected to remain the Chargers' lead back, Mitchell clearly has a role in his team's offense and could work his way into standalone fantasy value in deeper leagues. Obviously, Mitchell also offers significant upside for fantasy managers in the event of an injury to Hampton. In PPR-scoring leagues with 12 or more teams, Mitchell profiles as a worthy waiver wire target.

Pat Freiermuth Remains a Deep-League Waiver-Wire Target
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth had a quiet game in his team's Week 3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, recording two catches for 30 yards on four targets. However, the 27-year-old has played a steady role in the Steelers' passing game so far this season, recording 11 catches for 108 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets across the first three weeks of 2026. Freiermuth has proven he can be productive when he sees consistent target volume, recording 65 catches for 653 yards and seven touchdowns on 78 targets in 2024. Given his current role in the Pittsburgh offense, Freiermuth profiles as a worthy waiver wire target in deeper fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

T.J. Hockenson Could Be Poised for Expanded Role in Minnesota
Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson has not produced much value for fantasy managers so far in 2026, recording nine catches for 76 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets across three games. However, the 29-year-old could be poised for a larger role in the Minnesota passing game going forward. Superstar Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the team's Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jefferson reportedly avoided a serious injury and could even be active for Minnesota's Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Still, if Jefferson is unable to play, Hockenson could be worth targeting on the waiver wire as a tight end streamer ahead of Week 4.

Jalen Hurts Cleared to Return on Monday Night After Concussion Scare
Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been cleared of a concussion and will return to his team's Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The 28-year-old was briefly forced to exit the game after taking a big hit along the sidelines. However, Hurts was cleared of a potential concussion. Hurts' brief absence was costly for the Eagles, as backup quarterback Andy Dalton threw an interception in a goal-to-go situation while Hurts was being checked out in the blue medical tent.

Jalen Hurts Removed from Monday Night Football for Concussion Check
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (head) was removed from his team's Week 3 contest against the Chicago Bears after taking a big hit along the sidelines. Hurts went into the blue medical check and appeared to be evaluated for a concussion. Before exiting the game, the 28-year-old completed five of his seven pass attempts for 46 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Hurts was replaced by veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, who would likely finish the game for Philadelphia if Hurts is unable to return.

Wan'Dale Robinson Re-Emerging as a PPR Waiver-Wire Target
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson had his best game of the 2026 season in his team's Week 3 loss to the New York Giants, recording seven catches for 57 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. The 25-year-old had gotten off to a slow start to his first season in Tennessee, hauling in just six catches on seven targets across the Titans' first two games. However, Robinson has proven he can be a target and reception machine in the past, recording at least 90 catches and 140 targets in both 2024 and 2025. Particularly with Titans quarterback Cam Ward struggling, Robinson should continue to see plenty of work in the short and intermediate areas of the field. Tennessee's overall offensive struggles limit Robinson's upside, but he profiles as a high-floor PPR wide receiver for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.

Darren Waller a Premier Tight End Streamer Ahead of Week 4
Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller was heavily involved in his team's passing game in their Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns, recording five catches for 51 yards on eight targets. The 34-year-old has gotten off to a solid start to the season, hauling in 10 receptions for 112 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets across three games. Waller's increased usage came after Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) left the game with a quad strain. Coker reportedly avoided serious injury, but his status for Carolina's Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions is up in the air. Even if Coker plays, Waller could be in position for a big game in Week 4. The Lions' pass defense has really struggled to begin 2026 and has already given up six receiving touchdowns to tight ends this season. In leagues where he's available on the waiver wire, Waller profiles as a priority tight end streamer for fantasy managers.

Jalen McMillan Out 6-8 Weeks With Sprained Knee
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (knee) could miss anywhere from six to eight weeks after he was diagnosed with a sprained left PCL on Monday, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN. It is a tough break for a Bucs offense that will also be without starting quarterback Baker Mayfield for at least the next three games due to a dislocated right thumb that he suffered in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old McMillan had a 37-461-8 line in 13 games as a rookie with the Bucs in 2024, but he played in only four games a year ago due to a serious neck injury. He has been dealing with a knee injury since training camp this year, and in the two games that he has played, McMillan has zero catches on just one target. It was obvious that McMillan has not been right in some time, and he will most likely be placed on Injured Reserve. For now, he belongs on the waiver wire in most leagues. McMillan's injury opens up more playing time for impressive rookie Ted Hurst III, although his fantasy appeal should be tempered with undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels set to take over the offense for the next three weeks.

Jim Harbaugh Says Justin Herbert Needs to "Be Better"
When asked about quarterback Justin Herbert's decision-making after the team's third straight loss to start the season on Sunday on the road against the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said, "Be better," according to ESPN's Kris Rhim. Harbaugh has typically gone out of his way to defend Herbert since taking the head-coaching job in L.A. in 2023, but he is now calling the struggling signal-caller out to step up his game after the tough start. Last week, Harbaugh said he "wouldn't change a thing about Justin." Herbert has not looked like himself in coordinator Mike McDaniel's offense through three games. He threw for 226 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception, but he could have had three if Bills defenders did not drop two of them. It is still early, but so far, Herbert is not remotely close to a potential breakout fantasy QB in McDaniel's scheme like many were hoping for. It does not get any easier for Herbert, either, as he will face the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and their strong defense in Week 4.

Zay Flowers to Have More of a Full Workload in Week 4
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) returned from a hamstring injury in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but was on a snap count and played only 33% of the offensive snaps after missing the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The team's top wideout still managed to lead the team with five catches for 84 yards despite a lighter workload, including his 27-yard catch late in the game that set up the game-winning 56-yard field goal. Flowers also added a 20-yard run in the game. "I really want to shout out [Head Certified Athletic Trainer] Adrian Dixon, as well, for just working through that and helping the process of him being ready to play," head coach Jesse Minter said. "I think, now, he is coming out of this thing really ready to push to be back in there closer to full time." If Flowers does not have a setback in practice this week, he will be a no-brainer, must-start WR1 this weekend against the 0-3 Tennessee Titans with a regular workload. Before injuring his hamstring in the season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts, Flowers had a career-high 150 receiving yards and his first touchdown of 2026.
