Chess, Not Checkers: Week 4 G6 Waiver Wire Raisers

There’s a quarterback averaging 34 points a game sitting in over three-quarters of Fantrax leagues right now. Let that sink in for a second. If that alone doesn’t get you scrambling for your waivers, stick around — this week’s list also has a running back who somehow got 35 points on 11 touches, a slot receiver lined up against the worst pass defense you’ll find in FBS, and a tight end pickup so far ahead of the curve you’ll be thanking me in Week 6. Let’s get into it.

There’s no such thing as too much football! 2026 is the perfect time to add the college game to your fantasy football repertoire. Whether you want to create your own league or join an existing league, the Fantrax College Football Commissioner is the place to go!

Chess, Not Checkers: Week 4 G6 Waiver Wire Raisers

Quarterbacks

Kalieb Osborne – UConn

Fantrax Rostership: 24%
Total Fantasy Points: 103
Fantasy Points Per Game: 34.3

Kalieb Osborne is coming off a 35.76-point outing against Southern Miss. It’s hard to believe a guy averaging over 30 PPG is still sitting on your waivers. I mentioned in my article 2026 CFF: Your Week 2 G6 Sicko List that he is a potential league-winner, and nothing since has changed my mind. UConn plays Miami (OH) in Week 4, and Miami bleeds fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks — north of 30 PPG on the season.

Running Backs

Davian “Diamond” Jackson – Texas State

Fantrax Rostership: 25%
Total Fantasy Points: 63.9
Fantasy Points Per Game: 21.3

Davian “Diamond” Jackson shined like a diamond in Week 3, dropping 35.65 fantasy points on just 11 touches. The person in your league who only checks the box score might get scared off by the low touch count — but you’re not that type, since you’re reading this article. Torrance Burgess is still the RB1, but Jackson has become the red-zone back, especially inside the 5-yard line, and Texas State used him multiple times out of the wildcat last Saturday. I might be burying the lead here: he also carries WR/RB eligibility in Fantrax. Up next for Texas State is Incarnate Word.

Wide Receivers

Bryson Rodgers – USF

Fantrax Rostership: 5%
Total Fantasy Points: 39.5
Fantasy Points Per Game: 13.2

Bryson Rodgers has really caught my eye the last two weeks — back-to-back games with 8 targets. He’s turned those opportunities into 6 receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown, then 7 receptions for 86 yards, good for 18.4 and 15.6 points respectively. USF has a Week 4 date with Bowling Green, one of the worst teams in FBS at defending opposing WR units. Dig a little further, which I always do, and Bowling Green’s real weakness is the slot. Guess where Rodgers lines up? You guessed it — the slot.

Throw it UP and let Bryson Rodgers bring it DOWN😤

Tight End

Eli Finley – Louisiana Tech (LA Tech)

Fantrax Rostership: 19%
Total Fantasy Points: 44.8
Fantasy Points Per Game: 14.9

You read my articles because you play chess while your league mates are playing checkers. Eli Finley has a bye in Week 4, but you’re picking him up for the long haul. The tight end position is bleak right now in college fantasy football, and Finley’s 22% target share coming into Week 3 ranked 6th in the G6. In Week 3 against Baylor, he posted 8 receptions on 13 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. Whether Blake Baker returns at quarterback after the bye or Trey Kukuk keeps the job — it doesn’t matter.
