Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stashes: Tank Bigsby, Rico Dowdle, Elijah Mitchell (Week 4)

It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season. We’ll certainly have you covered with our robust waiver wire advice each and every week. Beyond the top targets, though, there is benefit to improving your bench and stashing players that are forecasted to increase in value. We’ll also be a great resource for these waiver wire stashes. Here’s a look at players you should consider stashing this week.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets

Stash Candidates

The Jaguars have faced more negative game scripts through three games than anyone could have guessed. Travis Etienne is far and away the lead back, but his shortcomings on the goal line have been mopped up by Tank Bigsby multiple times already. Stash Tank in case of an Etienne injury, but also in anticipation for increased work when the Jags are leading in games.

Rico Dowdle‘s first two seasons in the NFL were largely washed away by injuries. His form alongside Tony Pollard in the Dallas backfield has been very strong, even flashing some receiving chops that weren’t necessarily part of his scouting report out of college. Dowdle had four rushing attempts and three receptions in Week 3 versus Arizona, compiling 46 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown for 13.6 PPR points. I’m stashing him wherever I can find a space.

We all love Christian McCaffrey, but his usage through three games is alarmingly high. Kyle Shanahan’s track record of running every single RB into the ground should worry us with how hard he has leaned on CMC. Elijah Mitchell is an ultra-premium handcuff and should be stashed on deeper benches.
