The fantasy football schedule is nearly into Week 4 and some waiver wire sleeper options moving forward include Knile Davis, Jeremy Hill, Eddie Royal, Joe McKnight, Travis Kelce, Owen Daniels, Jerick McKinnon as well as Jordan Matthews heading into next week, as many of those players will have the chance to step up moving forward due to injuries and other circumstances.
The Chiefs are the team to watch from this week, as Jamaal Charles was out and that gave Knile Davis and Joe McKnight the chance to step up. Davis is a better option going forward, but in deeper leagues McKnight could be a very solid option and this comes as the Chiefs are looking to be a strong rushing team. Alex Smith doesn't have the weapons like other teams, although Travis Kelce has been showing that he can be in the mold of other athletic tight ends out there.
Kelce is the top TE pickup this week along with Larry Donnell and he should be very solid going forward. The Chargers got a nice game from Eddie Royal and he could be in the mix in deeper leagues for teams along with Keenan Allen and Malcom Floyd. The Chargers have lost Danny Woodhead for the season and with Ryan Mathews out already, they likely will start passing the ball more. Owen Daniels is another strong TE pickup, as Dennis Pitta has a serious injury and could be out for a while.
Daniels should end up having a bigger role with the Ravens and it comes after Pitta went down with an injury. Daniels has had injuries in the past, but he could be a strong option moving forward. Back in 2012 he had 62 receptions for 716 yards and that could be in line with what he does this season if he can stay healthy. Eddie Royal was a TD machine last season and he was pesky last week and ended up with two touchdowns and he now has 12 receptions for 131 yards this season.
Hill scored a touchdown and McKnight added a couple while Davis had a strong game rushing the ball and all of those names are solid names to pick up moving forward. Kelce scored his first career touchdown and he looks like he will be featuring more as the season goes on alongside Anthony Fasano. Kelce has solid stats with 10 catches for 166 yards and a touchdown in three ages this season.
Some other fantasy football options heading into next week's schedule includes a number of sleepers and start options for Week 4. Some quick names include Knile Davis, Jonathan Stewart, Joique Bell, Alfred Blue, Wes Welker, Jeremy Hill, Fred Jackson, Owen Daniels, Montee Ball and Terrance West, as those players will have the chance to step up for various reasons like injuries, suspensions and matchups heading into the weekend and coming weeks if they have byes.
