Top 10 waiver wire pickups for Week 4 in your fantasy football league
The first two weeks of the NFL season were light on excitement, but that wasn't a problem in Week 3.
With eight games decided by seven points or less and a wave of national anthem protests across the league, fans had every reason to stay glued to their television screens on Sunday. With so much going on, fantasy football almost felt like an afterthought, but the weekend still offered plenty of twists and turns that could affect your league going forward.
Below, check out 10 names you should consider adding to your fantasy roster for Week 4.
Wendell Smallwood, RB

Team: Philadelphia Eagles
Week 3 stats: 71 rushing yards, 9 receiving yards, 1 reception
One thing to know: Thanks to a season-ending injury to Darren Sproles, Smallwood rushed 12 times during Sunday's game, nearly doubling his total from the first two weeks. While starting running back LeGarrette Blount appears to be back in Doug Pederson's good graces after a 67-yard performance, Smallwood will still receive plenty of opportunities.
Sterling Shepard, WR

Team: New York Giants
Week 3 stats: 133 yards, 7 receptions, 1 touchdown
One thing to know: The Giants offense finally came alive on Sunday, and while Odell Beckham generated a lot of value with his pair of touchdown catches, Shepard was the most prolific receiver on the field. The Oklahoma native has caught over 70% of his targets this season.
Jamaal Charles, RB

Team: Denver Broncos
Week 3 stats: 56 rushing yards, 1 receiving yard, 1 reception, 1 touchdown
One thing to know: His All-Pro days may be behind him, but Charles remains a useful option for fantasy managers, especially given C.J. Anderson's longtime penchant for inconsistency. The former Chief went on a 12-yard run to score the Broncos' only touchdown on Sunday.
