NFL Week 4 Waiver Wire Targets

Week 4 waiver attention starts at quarterback, where the projections cluster tightly. Jalen Hurts and Trevor Lawrence sit atop the list at 19.0 projected points apiece, with Hurts' 17.8 recent average and Lawrence's 17.4 showing steady week-to-week production rather than a one-game spike. Kirk Cousins isn't far behind at 18.5, backed by an 18.1 recent average that's nearly identical to his projection, suggesting consistency over upside.

The more interesting names are C.J. Stroud and Jordan Love. Both carry projections well above their recent averages, 18.5 versus 15.1 for Stroud and 17.5 versus 15.3 for Love, pointing to expected improvement rather than past performance. Jacoby Brissett rounds out the group at 17.0, projected only slightly above his own 16.2 recent average.
