Back again this week I am identifying a couple of guys who have vastly underplayed their current ADP and expectations this season. These 3 guys all have huge upside and I think they’re all undoubtedly guys that would help any fantasy team although they are off to slow starts. Fantasy owners who have started off 0-3 or 1-2 may be scrambling looking to get their team back on track even if it will cost them their under-performing stud player. There are many guys I would recommend trying to get if possible. But these 3 studs you could possibly get at an extreme discount depending on the person who owns them and their current perception of them after underperforming through the first 3 weeks. Look at my buy now-week 4 fantasy football.
Stefon Diggs
Diggs is one of the most talented young WRs in the league. But up to this point, the Vikings have decided to run the offense through Dalvin Cook. Diggs still has such high upside every single week but has just seemed like a huge disappointment so far. Three weeks into the season so far and Diggs has only brought in 6 receptions on 12 targets for only 101 yards and 1 touchdown. This is a good stat line for a WR you got in the 8th or 9th round. But a guy who was going in the 3rd or 4th this is making people who own him nervous.
In both dynasty and redraft people are concerned because it seems like this offense has changed permanently to a run-heavy team which hurts his stock a ton especially since he has a good WR like Adam Thielen across from him who also is missing some receptions people expect him to have gotten. Although it may seem a little sketchy to run headfirst into that situation. I believe Diggs will get on track soon enough during the stretch of the season. The Vikings are about to play against some good run defenses. Teams that are going to score a lot of points which will force them to throw downfield a lot more. He is a prime buy-low especially due to having such a slow start.
Tyreek Hill
Getting hurt in the first game forcing Hill to miss a handful of weeks after this past off-season of drama. Many owners in both dynasty and redraft are just about done with Tyreek at this point. The young WRs on the Chiefs have stepped up in Hill’s absence and have impressed. But, once Hill comes back I don’t doubt for a second that he will go back to being Mahomes favorite deep/speed wideout threat. He produced a stat line of 87/1479/12 last year on 137 targets. This is an insane stat line but and better yet, it doesn’t seem to be a fluke.
The previous year he posted fairly similar numbers. But to a slightly lesser degree with Alex Smith at QB who of course isn’t as inclined to throw the deep ball the way Mahomes does which highlights what Hill specializes in. He is expected to return sometime in the next few weeks and I see him having an immediate impact. He is recovering from an injured clavicle. I am not too concerned with this type of injury compared to if it was a leg/lower-body injury. He may be out for a couple more weeks. But I think right now before the hype of him returning comes. A guy who at any moment could break a huge play for a 70-yard touchdown and has them consistently is a guy who I will always want on my teams.
O.J. Howard
Next up, we have O.J. Howard who is off to the slowest possible start that anyone could have ever expected. Only 7 receptions through the first 3 games for 98 yards and 0 touchdowns. Last year it was debatable if he was Winston’s go-to guy possibly sharing that title with Mike Evans. This year, you hardly ever know if he is on the field or not. I think he will soon pick his game up and show everyone why he was a top 6 TE off the board in fantasy drafts.
Howard is very talented and has already developed good chemistry with Winston. After this past week. I think he is finding his role in Arians’ offense and will start to produce once again. Howard is a very talented player but it took some time to adjust to the new scheme. Currently, It is time to go get O.J.for very cheap from those fantasy owners who feel like they’ve been let down by him and want to get some sort of return on him. My only concern is his injury history so if you do go pursue him for the upside. I will recommend you make sure you still have a decent TE on your roster just in case. But don’t let that be the reason you don’t buy into that much potential.
This is my buy now week 4 fantasy football.
