Waiver Wire Wide Receivers to target this week.

Hunter Renfrow (36.1%): Renfrow continues to produce. In Week 4, he turned 8 targets into 5 receptions for 57 yards. Hunter is a PPR machine, and he’s owned in less than 40% of leagues. Gruden loves Renfrow, and he’s also one of the only healthy receivers on the Las Vegas Raiders. Renfrow will always have a high floor, low ceiling, exactly what you look for in a WR3 or flex position.

Tee Higgins (25%): Second consecutive week of double digit fantasy points. Burrow has started to trust Higgins and use him as a security blanket. Higgins is moving up the depth chart rapidly with the performance of AJ Green through 4 games. Tee Higgins has seen 6+ targets in 3 straight weeks. Not someone I would start with confidence in Week 5, but worth picking up on the Waiver Wire if you are looking for someone long-term with breakout potential. The Bengals will have to throw in games to keep up. Plenty of targets to go around.

Scotty Miller (11.3%): Scotty’s name seems to come up every single week off the Waiver Wire. With injuries to Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, Scotty continues to step in and fill the void. Keep an eye on this name as the season progresses.

Tim Patrick (0.6%): I know it was against the Jets, but 6 catches, 113 yards and a touchdown is still impressive. Not someone I am looking to start next week off the Waiver Wire with a date against the New England Patriots.
