Three weeks of NFL action are in the books, which means it\u2019s time for owners everywhere to scour the waiver wire for the best Week 4 running back pickups. Looking around the league shows that players like Chuba Hubbard and Peyton Barber have the best chance of positive production in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Week 4 Wide Receiver Pickups<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Christian McCaffrey suffered a hamstring injury on Thursday Night Football and is going to miss the next couple of weeks. At his best, McCaffrey is the single most valuable fantasy football weapon out there, and his backup is going to receive a good portion of that work. Last year, it was Mike Davis. This year, it\u2019s fourth-round rookie Chuba Hubbard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Hubbard obviously isn\u2019t going to match McCaffrey\u2019s production, but getting 80% of McCaffrey\u2019s volume is still incredibly valuable for fantasy football. As long as the superstar running back remains sidelined, Hubbard should be able to put up low-end RB2 performances with some touchdown upside. If Hubbard is already rostered in your league, then you should probably put in a claim for Royce Freeman. The rookie will get the first shot at the starting job, but Freeman will still see the field and could take the job if Hubbard isn\u2019t up for the task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Incredible view of rookie RB Chuba Hubbard's eyes as he works through the line. \ud83d\udc40@Panthers<\/a> #CARvsHOU<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/taFHsMXtue<\/a><\/p>\n — Evan Foster (@EvanNoles) September 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nChuba Hubbard, Peyton Barber Highlight Fantasy Football Week 4 Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups<\/h2>\n
