Alright, now let’s get to some news you might’ve missed.

Giddy up.

Top 10 trending players on Sleeper’s waiver wire (sorted by most added)

Ollie Gordon, MIA RB (+5.2M): De'Von Achane's knee injury and Jaylen Wright being inactive left Gordon as the last man standing, turning 20 touches into 55 yards and a TD off a 2%-rostered add. Analysts say his value is primed to skyrocket if he stays Miami's lead back, but note Wright's return threatens the workload.

Braelon Allen, NYJ RB (+2.0M): Breece Hall left Week 3 with a quad injury and is week to week, and Allen played every remaining Jets snap after Hall exited. His FAAB value ranges from $8 up to a $27 desperate-need bid. Analysts say he'd lead the backfield if Hall sits, but expect Hall's return and Isaiah Davis to cap the runway.

Kenyon Sadiq, NYJ TE (+1.8M): With Mason Taylor hurt, Sadiq ran a season-high 58.1% route share and turned 8 targets into 7 catches for 105 yards and a TD, a 22.2% target share. Analysts widely call it a real breakout, but say Mason Taylor's return could push him back into a shared role.

Alvin Kamara, NOR RB (+612.0K): Kamara has 18 carries for 51 yards and 6 catches for 12 yards since returning from a Week 1 MCL sprain, and the backfield split 3 ways after Etienne's Week 3 hamstring injury. Analysts say volume is king and expect Kamara to see real touch volume, but call his inefficiency a reason to bid carefully.

Konata Mumpfield, LAR WR (+531.9K): With Puka Nacua out, Mumpfield caught 4 of 8 targets for 93 yards and a TD, including a 48-yard score, and played 63 snaps, second most among Rams WRs. Analysts say his value is entirely tied to Nacua's absence, and some say think twice about adding him with Nacua possibly back this week.

Tyreek Hill, FA (+515.4K): Hill remains unsigned after averaging 13.4 PPR points per game last season before a significant knee injury, with speculation tying him to a possible Kansas City return. Analysts say he has a long way to go, he still has to sign, learn the offense, earn snaps and prove the injury is behind him.

Tyler Higbee, LAR TE (+513.6K): Terrance Ferguson's ankle injury dropped his route share from 70.6% to 15.6% while Higbee's jumped from 11.8% to 75%, good for 8 catches, 62 yards and a TD on a 71% snap share, best on the Rams. Analysts say his outlook otherwise looks like Weeks 1-2, but Ferguson is expected out again Week 4.

Keaton Mitchell, LAC RB (+449.1K): Mitchell turned 8 carries into 52 yards (6.5 per carry) with 3 catches and a TD on a season-high snap share, in a three-way Chargers committee with Hampton and Vidal. Analysts say he's shown enough efficiency to keep getting used, but the three-back split limits confidence in a standalone role.

Keenan Allen, IND WR (+408.3K): With Alec Pierce out for weeks, Allen is now essentially Indianapolis's WR2 next to Josh Downs, playing 59% of snaps with an 18.6% target share and 14.3% red zone target share. Analysts say he's moved from stash to starter, but he also faces a potential 3-game suspension tied to a DUI arrest.

Kalif Raymond, CHI WR (+405.5K): Raymond leads the Bears in receiving through 3 weeks, ahead of Burden, Odunze and Loveland, catching 6 of 7 targets for 90 yards and his first TD of the year on a 41-yard catch-and-run. Analysts say it no longer looks like a fluke and expect him to stay heavily involved even with Case Keenum at QB.
