Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season is nearly over. And if you play fantasy football, you’re already planning ahead for the next week of games to see if you can improve your squad. Maybe you have a spot open due to an injury or you're rethinking a player you took.
That’s what we’re here for, a roundup of some of the players you could be targeting ahead of Week 4 in fantasy football.
Some of the names below might be taken already, but if not, there are a bunch of dudes who could change your fantasy fortunes this season. Let’s run through them, in no particular order, and we'll update this after Monday Night Football.
RB Ollie Gordon II, Miami Dolphins
De'Von Achane might miss some time with an injury, which means Gordon could take over the backfield. But do keep an eye on the next guy
in case they split it.
RB Jaylen Wright, Miami Dolphins
Will he take more carries when he returns from his injury? It's worth a speculative add if you don't get Gordon.
RB Braelon Allen, New York Jets
Let's see if Breece Hall misses time with his injury. Isaiah Davis could also be in the mix, but it's Allen who could be the red zone threat among the two.
RB Keaton Mitchell, Los Angeles Chargers
Omarion Hampton and the Chargers offense are struggling. Maybe it's time to see if Mitchell can do more -- he did score on Sunday.
QB Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks
He's back and he looked good against the Commanders. Given all the QB injuries this year, he's a good streamer in the right matchup.
WR Malik Washington, Miami Dolphins
The Fins' offense is a bit of a mess but their receivers are seeing a lot of targets as the team plays from behind.
WR Chris Bell, Miami Dolphins
See above. Assuming Caleb Douglas misses more time, the other rookie could be a factor.
TE Kenyon Sadiq, New York Jets
He stepped up for 105 yards and a score with Adonai Mitchell out. For those desperate for a tight end, the first-rounder from the 2026 draft could be good.
