With Week 3 in the books, injuries, bad luck and all cons that come with fantasy football have happened. Fantasy managers are now beginning to scout out waiver wire gems that could turn into potential fantasy football Week 4 RB streamers. The running backs on the waiver wire will likely be scarce in deep formats, but injuries happen and those potential streaming options will surface over time.
If streaming your RB2 or flex spot is your plan this season, read on for three fantasy football Week 4 RB streamers that are worth the look.
Players must be owned in less than 50 percent of ESPN leagues to be included in the fantasy football Week 4 RB streamers column. All ownerships for players will be provided and will reflect that of Wednesday morning, once waivers are processed.
Fantasy Football Week 4 RB Streamers
Alexander Mattison Fantasy Outlook at NO (45.9%)
With Dalvin Cook considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury, Alexander Mattison is the next man up and has always filled in nicely when he took the lead back role. The New Orleans Saints are one of the better run defenses in the NFL, but in what is to be assumed a hard-fought game, Alexander Mattison fantasy football owners should be able to enjoy a solid performance, if he enters the London game as the starter.
J.D. McKissic Fantasy Outlook at DAL (42.6%)
If only the Washington Commanders had a set-in-stone game plan each week that prioritized getting J.D. McKissic the ball, he’d be a very good waiver wire pickup for nearly all fantasy teams. He will never dominate the touches in the backfield, but he is clearly the pass-catching back in this offense. If Carson Wentz needs a security blanket, McKissic is sitting there in the flat or on a curl route. The Dallas Cowboys allow nearly 15.0 fantasy points per game (FPPG) to opposing running backs so far this season, making J.D. McKissic a solid fantasy football Week 4 RB streamer.

James Cook Fantasy Outlook at BAL (42.8%)
The running back options at this point on the waiver wire are underwhelming, to say the least. Not enough injuries have occurred to running backs to warrant new waiver wire gems. James Cook has been quiet to start his NFL career, but that’s mainly because the Buffalo Bills don’t run the ball and already have two other backs to split the workload. Cook is in a similar situation as McKissic where he lines up out-wide or in the slot more than he does in the backfield. He could be a sneaky addition this week in what is assumed to be a high-scoring affair between two of the best quarterbacks in the league.
