Week 4 Waiver Wire: Trey Benson Rises as Tre Tucker’s Breakout Leads Pickups

Analysts prioritize Trey Benson after James Conner’s reported season-ending injury.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that James Conner is out for the season, and outlets urge aggressive bids on Cardinals RB Trey Benson, who has averaged 6.0 yards per carry and caught 8 of 11 targets.
  • Raiders WR Tre Tucker is a top add after an 8-catch, 145-yard, 3-TD Week 3 and a 24.3% team-leading target share across the past two games, with analysts cautioning against expecting a repeat explosion.
  • Titans rookie Elic Ayomanor has caught 10 of 18 targets and both of Cam Ward’s touchdown passes through three weeks, trending toward weekly Flex value.
  • Jaguars WR Parker Washington drew 11 targets following Dyami Brown’s injury and owns a 38.5% target share when Brown and Travis Hunter are off the field, with TE Brenton Strange viable as a short-term filler.
  • Other low-rostered targets include TE Hunter Henry after an 8-90-2 performance and Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton, who logged a 26.5% Week 3 target share while injured receivers recover.
