- Sam Darnold (Seahawks) emerged as a viable fantasy quarterback streaming option after a strong Week 3 performance, while other streaming candidates include Jacoby Brissett and Marcus Mariota.
- Wide receivers Keenan Allen (Colts) and rookie Chris Bell (Dolphins) stand out as valuable waiver-wire pickups due to increased roles from injuries within their teams, offering WR3/flex potential.
- Tight ends Kenyon Sadiq (Jets) and Terrance Ferguson (Rams) are highlighted as top pickups, with Sadiq showing breakout potential and Ferguson poised for a TE1 role if injuries persist among starters.
- Defenses like the Ravens and kickers such as Will Reichard are recommended adds based on favorable upcoming schedules and availability in fantasy leagues.
