Week 4 Waiver Wire: Top Adds, Drops and Long-Term Fantasy Sleeper Targets

Week 3 of the NFL season was another confusing outing for fantasy owners, and things don't get any easier heading into Week 4.

With players like Jamaal Charles and Le'Veon Bell reportedly ready to make their season debuts next weekend, you might find yourself between a rock and a hard place if your matchup has either of these players ready to go.

It's that time of week again to scan the waiver wire and find the best value out there in free agency. Below, you'll find the best targets to go after for Week 4 and which players you should drop and forget that you even drafted. 

Position	Player	Team
QB	Dak Prescott	Dallas Cowboys
QB	Ryan Tannehill	Miami Dolphins
QB	Joe Flacco	Baltimore Ravens
WR	Terrelle Pryor	Cleveland Browns
WR	Michael Thomas	New Orleans Saints
WR	Jamison Crowder	Washington Redskins
RB	Jay Ajayi	Miami Dolphins
RB	Orleans Darkwa	New York Giants
TE	Kyle Rudolph	Minnesota Vikings

Note: For those of you wondering why Carson Wentz is on the "long-term option" list and not the "Week 4 waiver-wire target" list, the Eagles have a bye week next weekend and therefore don't count toward this week. 

Top Waiver-Wire Targets

Terrelle Pryor, WR, Cleveland Browns

There was some preseason hype surrounding Terrelle Pryor in August, but then again, it was just preseason action. We refused to take notice of Pryor's ability to stretch the field and maneuver around in an offensive system. 

Oh, how wrong we all were. 

Pryor had a great Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins, recording 144 receiving yards and a rushing touchdown. He also played as a quarterback, running back, and even as a safety. Despite rookie quarterback Cody Kessler throwing him the ball, he had 14 targets Sunday.

With 23.90 fantasy points in Week 3, Pryor could be the biggest sleeper heading into the quarter mark of the 2016 season. He could be in store for another big showing next weekend against the Washington Redskins, but only if the Browns continue to utilize him as an offensive weapon. 

Orleans Darkwa, RB, New York Giants

I liked what I saw out of Orleans Darkwa in limited action last season, and I, along with NFL Network's Michael Fabiano, have a good feeling about him heading into Week 4.

Of course, it's a shame to see an exciting player like Shane Vereen go down with an injury, but there's always a bittersweet feeling in fantasy football when a player is sidelined for a few weeks, as twisted as that may sound.

Darkwa, who scored a touchdown and rushed for 52 yards against the Redskins on 10 carries while replacing Vereen, will be in line for more carries next weekend even if there is a committee approach in place. If Darkwa impresses, you might just win your matchup next weekend.

Position	Player	Team	Percent Owned
QB	Carson Wentz	Philadelphia Eagles	20 percent
WR	Kevin White	Chicago Bears	49 percent
WR	Markus Wheaton	Pittsburgh Steelers	41 percent
RB	Darren Sproles	Philadelphia Eagles	40 percent
RB	Jordan Howard	Chicago Bears	26 percent
TE	Jack Doyle	Indianapolis Colts	10 percent

Long-Term Options

Carson Wentz, QB, Philadelphia Eagles

Carson Wentz? Let's call him Arson Wentz.

Wentz has been on fire to start his career with the Eagles and has joined some elite company in the process. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Wentz has thrown 102 passes in his first three career games without throwing an interception, trailing Hall of Famer Warren Moon's mark of 103 passes. 

While it's ridiculous to compare Wentz to Moon at this point of his career, it didn't stop Eagles head coach Doug Pederson from comparing his rookie signal-caller to another Hall of Fame quarterback, Peyton Manning. 

Jack Doyle, TE, Indianapolis Colts

Goodbye Dwayne Allen, hello Jack Doyle.

Doyle is the No. 1 tight end in Indianapolis. Just let that sink in for a moment. The casual NFL fan might wonder, "Who?" Well, Doyle is Andrew Luck's go-to option in the red zone.

Doyle put up 65 yards on six grabs in Week 3, and while those aren't the most attractive figures, Doyle has leapfrogged Allen as the Colt's best receiving tight end. Playing the Jacksonville Jaguars next week, don't be shocked to see Doyle haul in a couple of big touchdown grabs.

After all, O'Doyle rules! 

Position	Player	Team
WR	Tyler Lockett	Seattle Seahawks
WR	Phillip Dorsett	Indianapolis Colts
WR	Torrey Smith	San Francisco 49ers
RB	Thomas Rawls	Seattle Seahawks
RB	Rashad Jennings	New York Giants
