Dalton Schultz- TE- Cowboys

On Monday night against the Eagles, Cowboys' tight end Dalton Schultz was one of the main targets for quarterback Dak Prescott. He recorded six receptions for 80 yards and two scores. So far on the season, he's caught 14 of the 15 targets. He's a reliable target for Prescott and is third on the team in receptions. The Cowboys face a tough Panthers defense this week who might force Prescott to make quick throws to his tight ends. You can pick up Schultz and start him for a buck this week.

 

 

Taylor Heinicke- QB- Washington

If you need a quarterback to start in week 4, Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke might a be a good option. Last week in a blowout loss to the Bills, he threw 14 completions for 212 yards and two scores and recorded a rushing touchdown as well. Washington will host the Falcons this week, whose defense has given up the third most fantasy points to quarterback this year. Heinicke will have his opportunities Sunday, and he's worth taking a risk for a dollar.

 

 

 

Peyton Barber- RB- Raiders

Dependent on when Josh Jacobs returns for the Raiders, Peyton Barber might be worth picking up for a buck. Last week he had 23 carries for 111 yards and one touchdown against the Dolphins. He out-carried Kenyan Drake 23 to 8. Barber is also the better pass blocking running back, which has him more likely to be in the game on third downs. The Raiders face the Chargers this week, whose defense has given up the 11th most fantasy points to running backs this season. Barber is only worth the risk if Jacobs sits another week. Get him for a buck today.

 

 

 

Kendrick Bourne- WR- Patriots

One person to keep your eye on is former 49ers' wide receiver Kendrick Bourne. Last week against the Saints, he had six catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. The Patriots face the Buccaneers this week, whose defense has given up the most fantasy points to wider receivers this season. With James White mostly likely out for a few games, Mac Jones might utilize Bourne like he did in week 3. Bourne is worth a pickup and start this week if you need a wide receiver.

 

 

 

Kalif Raymond- WR- Lions

If you are desperate for a wide receiver who is starting to see more playing time and targets, Lions' wide out Kalif Raymond might be worth looking at. Last week against the Ravens, he had six receptions for 68 yards from 10 targets. He leads all Lion wide receivers in receptions and targets this season. The Lions face the Bears on Sunday, whose defense has allowed the 9th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. He might be your guy this week if you are desperate for someone to start. You can get him for a buck.

 

 

 

Jeff Wilson Jr.- RB- 49ers

Someone you might want to pick up and stash on your bench until he returns from the PUP list in 49ers' running back Jeff Wilson Jr. The 49ers' running game has struggled since week 1, and almost everyone who records a carry gets injured. Wilson played well in 2020 when he saw the field. Last year in 12 games, he recorded 126 rushing attempts for 600 yards and seven touchdowns. More importantly he averaged 4.8 yards per carry. He's going to be a fantasy football steal when he returns to the field if the other 49er running backs continue to struggle. The risk is not knowing when he will come back. But you can get him for a buck today.
