Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Justin Carter's fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups for Week 4 of the 2020 NFL season. These are free agent WRs to add, stream and stash.

Week 3 is in the books. It was a week of close, exciting games, and also the week that the Bengals and Eagles played to a tie, with both teams giving up at the very end to avoid losing. That was a very bad overtime.

Anyway, wide receivers! That's why you're here! Read on to see why you should add a couple of guys from that aforementioned Cincy/Philly game, plus a bunch of other guys.

Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR or deeper leagues, so it’s not a one-size-fits-all comparison. Use your best judgment when deciding which of these players is the right fit for your roster. Check here for a complete list of our Waiver Wire Adds for Week 2 for help at all the skill positions. All players on this list here are around 30% rostered or below.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings

29% rostered

This was the Justin Jefferson break out that we were waiting on.

The Vikings offense had looked bad through two games, in large part because without Stefon Diggs across from Adam Thielen, there wasn't an outside weapon for Kirk Cousins. Jefferson had been used some over the first two games, but this was the day when he became a viable fantasy option, catching seven of his nine targets for 175 yards and a score. His 71-yard touchdown showed that he can make big plays. Get Jefferson on your roster in 12-team leagues, because his role is going to remain large moving forward, even if he doesn't have games as explosive as this on a weekly basis.

Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers

27% rostered

Versatility! Aiyuk caught five passes for 70 yards and added three carries for 31 and a score. He can be the end-around guy for this offense right now and while the impending return of Deebo Samuel will take opportunities away from Aiyuk, this is an offense in need of playmakers, so Aiyuk should have a pretty sizable role going forward.

Scotty Miller, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

16% rostered

Chris Godwin left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. Miller, meanwhile, tied Mike Evans for second on the team in targets, catching three of his five for 83 yards. With Evans having some weird usage -- his two catches went for just two yards, but also for two touchdowns -- Miller could be a huge beneficiary of a Godwin absence next week and would be the main short-yardage weapon for Tom Brady.

James Washington, Pittsburgh Steelers

11% rostered

Diontae Johnson left Sunday's game with a concussion. With the short-term status of the top Steelers receiver in question, Washington -- who led the receivers in targets with seven -- is a strong waiver addition this week. If Johnson's back, you probably keep Washington on your bench, but if Johnson is out in Week 4, Washington is solid flex option in 12-team leagues against the Titans.

Hunter Renfrow, Las Vegas Raiders

10% rostered

Entering Week 3 with just five targets on the year, Renfrow exploded on Sunday. He was targeted nine times, pulling in six of them for 84 yards and a touchdown. He was also about a yard away from having a second touchdown after one was called back via review. The slot receiver is an appealing play in deeper full-PPR leagues than he is elsewhere, but overall he's a reliable target for Derek Carr who should have some good games coming up as the Raiders likely will have pass-heavy game scripts in their next three games.

Cole Beasley, Buffalo Bills

9% rostered

Beasley keeps getting targets, keeps getting yards, and keeps getting under-rostered in fantasy leagues. He was targeted seven times against the Rams and now has been targeted 20 times this year. He caught six of them for 100 yards in this one. Beasley won't always have triple-digit yards, but he will always have a chance to get five or six receptions, making him a great roster option in full PPR leagues.

Randall Cobb, Houston Texans

6% rostered

Should you roster Randall Cobb? As a Texans fan, I have to say "man, I don't know." Cobb's been pretty inconsistent this year, but Sunday seemed to see him trending in the right direction as he caught four passes for 95 yards and a score. He's seen an increase in yards each week and has some plus matchups coming up. Cobb's a good addition in deep leagues and someone who can be played against teams who struggle with slot receivers.

Kendrick Bourne, San Francisco 49ers

6% rostered

The argument for Bourne is basically the same as the argument for Aiyuk, minus the versatility of Aiyuk. Bourne has been targeted at least five times in each game and has consecutive games with at least 63 yards. Once players start returning to this team, Bourne might see a drop in how much usage he's getting, but until then, he's a solid deep-league flex play.

Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals

4% rostered

When John Ross was made a healthy scratch ahead of Sunday's game, it became pretty clear that the Bengals wanted to concentrate more on their rookie wideout. And concentrate on Higgins they did, as he was targeted nine times, catching five of those targets for 40 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Joe Burrow and the Bengals will be playing from behind a lot this season, which should allow ample chances for Higgins to have solid fantasy performances, though don't expect him to get a pair of touchdowns every week.

Braxton Berrios, New York Jets

1% rostered

Yikes, the was a rough game for the Jets. The only bright spot was Berrios, who had four catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. I really like Berrios as a deep-league streaming option as long as the entire Jets receiving corps is out. The reason I don't like him in shallower formats? Because his value is entirely dependent on every better option on this team being hurt, which is obviously a bad sign.

Andy Isabella, Arizona Cardinals

1% rostered

Isabella was only third of the receivers in targets, with DeAndre Hopkins leading the way and KeeSean Johnson getting seven targets. But Isabella made the most of his four chances, catching all of the for 47 yards and two scores. Isabella isn't the most reliable fantasy option, but he's trending up and is rosterable in 14-team leagues now.

Gabriel Davis, Buffalo Bills

0% rostered

With John Brown missing a large chunk of this game with a calf injury, Davis was targeted four times, catching all of them for 81 yards. If Brown misses time, I like Davis as a deep-league option and a deep threat for quarterback Josh Allen.

Dontrelle Inman, Washington Football Team

0% rostered

Inman caught two touchdowns. Washington doesn't have a lot of talent. Put those two things together and I can see why managers in really deep leagues would look at Inman, though I'll be honest here -- I'm only writing about him because I told myself I have to mention anyone who scored multiple touchdowns, no matter how risky their rest-of-season outlook is. Grab him in a 16-teamer, I guess.

Greg Ward, Philadelphia Eagles

0% rostered

Ward was targeted 11 times against the Bengals, catching eight of them for 72 yards and a score. His performance was aided by injuries all over this Eagles offense, both before the game and during it. But hey, Ward showed that he can perform when pressed into a larger role, and if we get clarity before waiver runs that the Eagles will be banged up again for next week's game against the 49ers, he'll be a solid addition and potential deep league flex option.

Cedrick Wilson, Dallas Cowboys

0% rostered

Like I said earlier, I've got to mention anyone who had multiple touchdowns, if only to say "hey, let's make sense of this game, y'all." I don't think you need to go out and make Wilson a priority add this week, even though he caught five passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns. I do think if you've got a lower waiver position or just really need a receiver, you can make a speculative addition here, but he was still behind Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb in targets and Dak Prescott won't be throwing 57 passes every week.

Kalif Raymond, Tennessee Titans

0% rostered

Raymond caught three passes for 118 yards against the Vikings. He hadn't recorded a catch all season coming in. Raymond's got slight appeal in 16-team leagues provided A.J. Brown misses more time, but if Brown is back next week, Raymond's not worth a roster spot.
