Bring on Week 4. Ladies and gentlemen, you know the drill by now. Our goal is to dominate. This week and beyond. In order to do that, we're going to discuss key players to target as "stashes" — in other words, players with long-term upside we will use to strengthen our roster so it’s built for a late-season push. 

You know the rules. We don’t blink, we don’t flinch, and we certainly don’t panic drop these guys for every one-game wonder that hits the waiver wire.

And click here if you're looking for Week 4 Smashes, our esteemed rhyming sister column!

Week 4 Fantasy Football Stashes

Oronde Gadsden TE, Los Angeles Chargers

Gadsden only played 22 snaps last week vs the Broncos, but boy, did he take advantage. On top of earning 7 targets (more than the entire TE group on the Chargers had to date) and running routes on 15 of his 22 snaps, he put up a 5-46 line and took in multiple crucial catches on the game-winning drive.

The performance earned him some high praise from his head coach, who suggested this kind of thing may become a more regular event.

The Chargers' receiving room is getting a little crowded, so a true breakout may not happen right away, but context is important. Through three weeks, the Chargers still lead the league in PROE (pass rate over expectation), and with their running back room now depleted with the season-ending injury to Najee Harris, it’s unlikely to change this approach on offense.

Gadsden time may not quite be here yet, but there is little doubt that his Week 3 performance broke the seal, so to speak, and that his time as a regular fantasy producer is drawing near. Stashing him now, even if your team doesn’t fall in the TE-needy category, is advised. — Geoff

Blake Corum RC, Los Angeles Rams

I’m not necessarily predicting a Corum takeover of the Rams' backfield, but given the performances he’s put up over the last couple of weeks, it’s an outcome that is much more entertainable than it was at the start of the season.

The second year back has looked explosive all of 2025, posting 5 carries of 10+ yards now on just 14 carries, while averaging 7.1 YPC on the season. Despite getting just 14 carries on the season to date, he’s been a big part of why the Rams have had so much success running the ball in 2025 and has certainly earned more carries going forward.

Right before Week 4 may be the perfect time to commit to Corum as a stash as well. The Rams will be up against a Colts rush defense that ranks just 24th in success rate and EPA per play vs the rush, and if they do get up big early, we could see a lot more Corum in an effort to “save the tread” so to speak, on their veteran starter.

I’d not hesitate to go after him before kickoff on Sunday. — Geoff

Kyle Williams, WR, New England Patriots

Williams is the deepest stash of the week, but a name you should keep high on your radar. The Patriots have targeted their WRs on less than 50% of their throws this season, and only one of their WRs (Kayshon Boutte - 3) has recorded a catch of longer than 20 yards on the year.

Mike Vrabel was coy this week when asked about Wiliams potentially getting more snaps, but the fact remains, he can’t be very happy with the production he’s got from his WRs. Stefon Diggs saw a season low 9% target share last week and has a 6.9 aDOT on the year, while Boutte has been regularly tied up by opposing teams' number one CB after his breakout Week 1.

Williams is a 4.4 burner who flashed elite separation skills in college and will eventually get a shot to prove his worth. The Panthers have been solid in coverage this season, but with New England coming off a loss and in need of an offensive spark, his time may be coming sooner than you think.

If you can make room, his upside is worth stashing on your bench before a potential shock breakout happens in Week 4. — Geoff

Tre Tucker WR, Las Vegas Raiders

Back in my youth football glory days, we once had our best player swap jerseys with a teammate to throw off the other team. If eight inches and 55 pounds didn’t separate Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker, I’d swear Pete Carroll went deep in his bag to pull the same stunt on the Commanders. .

Tucker erupted against Washington for 145 yards and three touchdowns, tallying 36.9 points in 0.5 ppr leagues. Bowers, on the other hand, was a complete non-factor, hauling in a modest four catches for 38 yards.

We all know positive regression is coming for Bowers. That being said, I’m not fully sold that it comes at the expense of Tucker. We are still learning what Chip Kelly’s offense is going to look like, and the Raiders new OC isn’t in a position where he can ignore this type of production.

Quite frankly, neither am I.

Through three games, Tucker has earned a team-high Utilization score (78), while being on the receiving end of all four of Geno Smith’s touchdown passes. Also, his 8+ targets in consecutive games was good for a team-leading 26% target share (Weeks 2 and 3).

Miss me with the third-option label. He is getting the looks and delivering.

Las Vegas plays 11 of its remaining 14 games indoors. Ideal conditions for a speedster like Tucker to excel. He is currently rostered in 72% of leagues, and could ball out again with a juicy matchup against Chicago. Grab him if you can, and stash him if you get him. We’re going to ride this one out. — Mark

Jaxson Dart QB, New York Giants

I feel pretty good about the Cam Skattebo stash, so why not stay in New York? After an 0-3 start, it feels a little bit like we are just stripping this team for parts. But hey - that’s what fantasy football is all about.

Jaxson Dart is definitely worth stashing. Quarterbacks with mobility are far too valuable to pass up.  Our team of rankers has the former Rebel as the consensus QB25 for Week 4. Dart getting reps this early in the season is the best case scenario for his second-half production.

If anyone has taken a peek at the Giants remaining schedule, it’s crystal clear that Dart is getting thrown into the deep end.

Here are the opponents ranks in Pass/EPA allowed for his first six games.

• Week 4: Chargers : 5th (-0.17)
• Week 5: at Saints : 28th (0.21)
• Week 6: Eagles : 10th (0.11) *on 3 days rest
• Week 7: at Broncos : 12th (0.04)
• Week 8: at Eagles : 10th (-0.11)
• Week 9: 49ers : 4th (-0.18)

This is a stash and check back at midseason, as there is going to be early volatility from the young QB. However, there could be legitimate value in an offense with Malik Nabers and a handful of designed runs. Layer in Dart’s tendency to lean on his legs in the presence of pressure, and he could be a late-season producer in the mold of Justin Fields. — Mark
