As we dive into Week 4 of the NFL season, it’s the perfect time to analyze player performances based on their current form in 2024. With the previous season’s expectations behind us, fantasy managers can make more informed decisions, particularly if you’re looking to snag some undervalued players.
More Fantasy Football: Top Waiver Wire Adds Ahead of Week 4
If your team is off to a strong start with a record of 3-0 or 2-1, this might be your chance to take a gamble on struggling players in hopes they’ll rebound. Here are three players you should consider targeting.
1. Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After an impressive 23.1 PPR points in Week 1, Evans has seen his production drop with just 7.2 and 3.7 points in the following two weeks. This is a prime opportunity to snatch him up.
Evans boasts ten straight seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards and had a solid 2023 alongside Baker Mayfield, amassing 1,255 yards and 13 touchdowns. As Mayfield continues to play well, expect the duo to rekindle their chemistry soon.
2. Brandon Aiyuk, WR, San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers showed their faith in Aiyuk with a lucrative four-year, $120 million contract just before the season kicked off. However, his limited training camp has hindered his early performance.
With only 11 receptions for 119 yards over the first three games, Aiyuk has yet to hit double-digit fantasy points, but that trend is set to change. Consider these early weeks as his preseason—a matchup against a weak New England Patriots secondary could be just what he needs to shine. Trade for him before his value climbs.
3. Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs

Kelce has struggled to resemble the elite tight end fans are used to. With only eight catches for 69 yards so far this season, his involvement has been minimal, as evidenced by just 12 targets.
Though he may not replicate his past glory with over 100 receptions and 1,000 yards, he has the potential to become more significant in the Chiefs’ offense, especially in scoring situations. If you can acquire him for less than his historical worth, he could be a valuable asset as the tight end landscape remains challenging.
