With all so many injuries around important fantasy players, you can notice that you dig deeper on the exemption wire than you had ever expected in the fourth week of the season. Here are five players to consider adding the exemption wire on the way to week 4 if you are in a pinch because of an injury.
QB Geno Smith, Las Vegas Raiders
Because of his first three games with the Raiders, Smith has one solid (17.5 points in week 1), a terrible (3.2 points in week 2) and a great (26.1 in week 3) fantasy performance. Smith threw three touchdowns last Sunday and should continue to find success this weekend against the defense of the Beatable Chicago Bears. No team has allowed more passing touchdowns this season than the bears, and they have also allowed the seventh most passing yards per game in the competition.
The bears have closed Dak Prescott and the attack of Dallas Cowboys in week 3, but I believe that this has more to do with the vulnerability of the cowboys than the defense of the bears. In the first two weeks of the season, both JJ McCarthy (22.2 points) and Jared Goff (34) had good fantasy days in their matchups against the bears.

RB Ollie Gordon II, Miami Dolphins
Gordon still has to play on more than 26% of the attacking snaps of the dolphins, which is not ideal for his imagination floor. Yet he had a career-high nine hasty attempts in week 3, while he both stealed two goal line of the team, from starter De’von Achane in the game gordon could come in the end zone on one of those attempts. This season, the dolphins used a committee approach on the floor for the first time this season, because Gordon wears only three less than Achane (12) in the game. Gordon should be used as the power of the dolphins to deal with Achane, who is explosive and a great pass-catcher. If you are desperate to fill your RB2 spot, Gordon is a feasible option with his expected increased workload, especially around the goal line, at home against the New York Jets in week 4.

RB Woody Marks, Houston Texans
Marks has considerably increased his snaps of his early NFL career every week. In week 1 he played only 11% of the attacking snaps of the Texans, which jumped to 27% in week 2 and then rose to 48% in week 3. Texans who returned Nick Chubb struggled on the floor, on average only 3.9 yards per Carry in the last two weeks, despite a 25-yard Carry in week 2. Yards per attempt. At the same time, Marks has an average of 4.6 yards per carry over the past two weeks.
Marks has to see more than seven touches or scoring more than 6.1 fantasy points in a game, but he slowly takes over the rear field from Chubb, and the chances must continue to increase as long as Joe Mixon is sidelined.

WR Elic Ayomanor, Tennessee Titans
For some reason, Ayomanor is still available in more than 70% of ESPN and Yahoo! Leagues despite the score of more than 13 fantasy points in each of the last two weeks. Ayomanor is on average the third fantasy points per match under Fantasy WRs this season, behind only Emeka Egbuka and Tetairoa McMillan, who were both set up in the first round. Ayomanor and Egbuka are the only Rookie WRs who have scored at least 13 fantasy points this season in several games. From weeks 2-3, Ayomanor is the WR20 in fantasy points per game at 14.7. Scoring more than Justin Jefferson, Devonta Smith, Michael Pittman Jr., DK Metcalf, Courtland Sutton and Terry Mclaurin during that period.
If you read this article last week, hopefully you have already picked it up, but if you skipped it, you don’t make that error again. As I said last week, the fall from Ayomanor to the fourth round of the design had more to do with playing him in a terrible one Stanford Attack at the university than with its skills as a potential good NFL -wide receiver.

You fall oton, tampa bay buccaneers
This is a risky pick-up and game, because Otton has only three receptions for 25 yards in the season, but there is hope that his use will increase considerably, while Mike Evans is out because of a hamstring injury. Last year, while Evans was sidelined due to a hamstring injury of weeks 7-10, an average of 9.8 goals, 7.5 receptions and 19.3 fantasy points per game. Otton saw double -digit goals and scored at least 18 fantasy points in three of those four weeks. He stepped up big time when the buccaneers needed him despite barely before or after evans’ injury last season-otton averaged just 6.3 fantasy points in all eather games outside or week at the end of fashion, IFD END END ENTTETTION Bad the off Wivers, as there is a good chance he can see upwards of Eight to 10 Targets This Sunday in What Should Be A High-Scoring Affair Against the Philadelphia Eagles.
