What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
A lot of injuries, a lot of players to add. Let's talk about it right now on Fantasy Football Today Express. HN out for the year. HN out for several weeks, maybe. That's Devon and Travis. Reese Hall, week to week. Tough week for running backs. What are we looking at? The waiver wire. It has to start at that position. Here's Jamie Isenberg to tell you all about it.
So...
Which running backs should you target on the Week 4 waiver wire?
I still lean Braylon Allen over Dolphins guys simply because, well, two reasons. One, I think the Jets offense is going to be better too. I don't know what we're going to get when Jalen Wright is healthy. He missed week three with a foot injury against the Chiefs. So while Ollie Gordon performed well and should have an opportunity to be the lead guy, as we talked about on Sunday night, The last two times that Devon Achan was injured or missed games in 2025, Jalen Wright was the lead running back. So it's a little bit of a touchy situation, even though there's a clearer path to touches long term. We don't know how long Brees Hall is going to be out. The latest report as of Monday afternoon is week to week.
So if Braylon Allen presumably is going to get the majority of the touches there, and I think that's the case. He had all 17 running back touches after Brees Hall was injured. I think he makes the most sense to add first. And then it's a toss-up, really, of which Saints running back you like better. I think Kendra Miller is going to get more carries, but I think Alvin Kamara is probably still going to play more and have an opportunity for more catches. So I don't know how to really... say, go get a Saints guy because their running back group has been so bad. But I think just Kamara's potential is still a little bit higher. Ceiling's still a little bit higher in my opinion. So I would value Kamara a little bit more.
That being said, he's 65% rostered, whereas Kendrick Miller's 4% rostered. So there's a more chance that you're going to get Kendrick Miller. So in just ranking these guys, and I know it sounds like we don't have a lot of certainty here because there's still, at least for me, I'm working my way through this. I would rank it Braylon Allen one, Ollie Gordon two, Alvin Kamara three, Kendra Miller four, Jalen Wright five, Isaiah Davis six.
How does Jalen Wright’s return affect Ollie Gordon and Dolphins running back rankings?
And if Jalen Wright, they said Jalen Wright's going to play in week four. How would that change your rankings?
I still would probably give a slight nod to Ollie Gordon just because I think this is a new coaching staff compared to last year. So while Mike McDaniel and that group valued speed more so than anything else, Ollie Gordon may do some things that this coaching staff likes better. I don't know. I really don't know.
Yeah, I was looking for some clues in the first two games with how they were used, and I really didn't see anything. Week one, they were both used on the same amount of snaps. They both played three or four snaps for the Dolphins. Week two, I don't know when Jalen Wright got hurt, but he played more in the first half and Gordon more in the second half, and it was the reverse in the first game. I feel like they did use Wright kind of more in passing situations if it wasn't A-chan than they did Gordon, which we would expect going forward. The question is with the running downs. And Kamara, you know, you said Kendrick Miller might get more carries. I think Kamara might get more carries, too. I mean, I think it's 50-50.
Like, Kamara had nine carries yesterday. Miller had four. And Miller was a healthy scratch in week two when Kamara was healthy. But things do change when the starting running back goes out. It's not, you know... It's not the clearest situation, except maybe the Jets. All right, I see where you're coming from from there. Do we have any wide receivers that we really like this week?
Which wide receivers are the best Week 4 waiver wire pickups?
Um, there's a couple Keenan Allen, probably the headliner, just because of what he just did with the first game without Alec Pierce. So he would probably be the first guy that I would go get, um, after him. It's, you know, not necessarily a, Oh my God, I got to go get this guy.
