Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

The Week 4 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2018 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Calvin Ridley, Geronimo Allison, Tyler Boyd & more.

The first month of football is usually quite the wild ride with newcomers and old friends forcing us to reassess our rosters. Week 3 was no stranger to injuries and some standout performances, so how can you keep up with it all? In the interest of getting you the most timely information, consider this our waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 4.

This column is published early every week and then updated after the MNF games. Each day of the week will also yield other more in-depth waiver wire articles for all positions so be sure to check back.

The below waiver pickups are listed in priority order and broken down by position. Players must be owned in less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
