The first blind-bidding run is in the rearview mirror. Three weeks of games have given us more clues, and now it’s time to dig through the dynasty waiver wire<\/strong> again.<\/p>\n

This week’s theme is simple: The Leftovers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These aren’t the big names everyone is fighting over. These are the players sitting on the wire who might be starting to earn a role, quietly building momentum, or putting together enough early-season production to deserve a closer look.<\/p>\n

I’m Jonathon, a 17-year commissioner at Masters Fantasy Football Leagues. I’ve spent years watching dynasty managers chase the latest breakout and abandon players before they’ve had a real chance to develop. Sometimes the trick isn’t finding the player everyone already knows about. It’s recognizing when an overlooked player is finally getting an opportunity.<\/p>\n

This week, we’re looking at two low-owned wide receivers who have given dynasty managers a reason to pay attention: Roman Wilson<\/strong> of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Josh Cameron<\/strong> of the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n

Neither is a guaranteed breakout. That’s not what this column is about. We’re looking for inexpensive roster additions who could become more valuable if their early-season trends continue.<\/p>\n

1. Roman Wilson, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers<\/h2>\n

Ownership:<\/strong> Approximately 25%<\/p>\n

Roman Wilson is exactly the type of player I like digging up for this column.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, Wilson was a trendy dynasty rookie pick. The former Michigan wide receiver entered the NFL with plenty of attention after a productive college career, and dynasty managers hoped he would eventually become a regular contributor in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

Then came the waiting.<\/p>\n

In dynasty football, waiting is where things get difficult. Managers invest a rookie pick, watch a player struggle to find the field, and eventually move on to the next exciting prospect.<\/p>\n

But what happens when that player finally starts getting opportunities? That’s where Roman Wilson finds himself entering Week 4 of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Wilson has recorded 11 receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown through three games, and his production has climbed each week:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Week 1:<\/strong> 3 catches, 26 yards<\/li>\n
  • Week 2:<\/strong> 5 catches, 28 yards<\/li>\n
  • Week 3:<\/strong> 3 catches, 60 yards, 1 TD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    That Week 3 performance against Cincinnati is particularly interesting. Wilson averaged 20 yards per catch, showing he can produce meaningful yardage even without a big reception total.<\/p>\n

    Now, let’s be realistic. Three games don’t make a breakout, and 114 receiving yards isn’t going to win anybody a dynasty championship by itself. But the direction of the opportunity is what matters.<\/p>\n

    Why Roman Wilson Belongs on Your Dynasty Radar<\/h3>\n

    The most encouraging part of Wilson’s start is that he’s becoming part of the offense rather than relying on one lucky touchdown.<\/p>\n

    He has received six targets in each of the first three games. If that trend holds (that’s over 100 targets in a 17 game season), it gives us something meaningful to monitor: consistent opportunity that could eventually turn into more substantial production.<\/p>\n

    There’s also the situation around him. With DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. struggling to produce at the level fantasy managers hoped for, Wilson has an opening to keep carving out a role. He doesn’t have to become Pittsburgh’s undisputed top receiver to deliver dynasty value. He needs to keep earning targets, make plays when the ball comes his way, and establish himself as a dependable option.<\/p>\n

    The key question is whether his improvement represents a lasting change in his role or a brief stretch of favorable circumstances. The next few weeks should help us answer that.<\/p>\n

    Remember the Original Investment<\/h3>\n

    Wilson was a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, selected 84th overall by Pittsburgh. He wasn’t a first-round selection, so keep expectations in perspective.<\/p>\n

    Still, dynasty managers who drafted him invested in his potential, and his current production gives us a reason to revisit that evaluation. At roughly 25% ownership, there’s a reasonable chance he’s still available in your league. If he is, I would consider adding him before another productive game pushes his ownership higher.<\/p>\n

    The Commish’s Take:<\/strong> Wilson is a speculative dynasty pickup with a clearer usage trend than he has ever had. I want to see whether the targets and improving production continue.<\/p>\n

    2. Josh Cameron, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars<\/h2>\n

    Ownership:<\/strong> Approximately 12%<\/p>\n

    If Roman Wilson is the player whose involvement is gradually getting more interesting, Josh Cameron is the deep waiver-wire flyer who makes you stop and ask a question:<\/p>\n

    How is a rookie scoring touchdowns in two of his first three NFL games while sitting available in roughly 88% of leagues?<\/p>\n

    Cameron is a sixth-round pick out of Baylor, drafted 191st overall by Jacksonville in 2026. He isn’t a highly drafted prospect with an obvious path to a featured role. He’s a rookie trying to establish himself in a crowded wide receiver room.<\/p>\n

    And yet, he has already found the end zone twice:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Week 1 vs. Cleveland:<\/strong> 2 catches, 20 yards, 1 TD<\/li>\n
    • Week 2 vs. Denver:<\/strong> No catches<\/li>\n
    • Week 3 vs. New England:<\/strong> 1 catch, 12 yards, 1 TD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      That’s a strange statistical profile: three receptions and 32 receiving yards, but two touchdowns. It’s exactly why we need to look beyond the fantasy points.<\/p>\n

      Josh Cameron’s College History Is Worth Knowing<\/h3>\n

      Before dismissing Cameron as a random sixth-round receiver who has caught a couple of touchdowns, look at what he accomplished at Baylor. Jacksonville’s official draft announcement reported that he finished his college career with 170 receptions for 2,236 yards and 19 touchdowns. In his final two seasons, he recorded:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • 2024:<\/strong> 52 receptions, 754 yards, 10 touchdowns<\/li>\n
      • 2025:<\/strong> 69 receptions, 872 yards, 9 touchdowns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        He also earned All-Big 12 recognition in both seasons.<\/p>\n

        Those numbers matter. Cameron wasn’t a special-teams player who happened to get drafted as a receiver. He had back-to-back productive seasons as a college pass catcher and showed a real knack for finding the end zone.<\/p>\n

        That doesn’t guarantee NFL success. Plenty of productive college receivers never become reliable fantasy options. But it gives us a reason to pay attention when a player with Cameron’s background starts contributing early.<\/p>\n

        The Jacksonville Opportunity<\/h3>\n

        Jacksonville has invested in its receiving corps, so there is legitimate competition for targets. Cameron shouldn’t be treated as an automatic starter or someone you can confidently plug into your lineup every week.<\/p>\n

        However, his Week 3 usage offers another clue. Against New England, Cameron ran 10 routes, compared with 16 for Brian Thomas Jr., while Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers each ran 31. Cameron caught one pass for a touchdown, and Jacksonville’s coaching staff specifically mentioned having plays designed for him.<\/p>\n

        That suggests the coaches have identified things Cameron does well and are finding ways to use him. The route totals also show he has ground to make up before becoming a regular, high-volume fantasy receiver.<\/p>\n

        A touchdown is evidence of production. A growing role would be evidence of a sustainable fantasy opportunity. We need to watch for the second part.<\/p>\n

        Is Josh Cameron Worth a Dynasty Roster Spot?<\/h3>\n

        At 12% ownership, Cameron is the kind of player you can add without spending significant resources. If your dynasty roster has room for a developmental receiver, I understand the appeal. His college r\u00e9sum\u00e9 shows scoring ability, and Jacksonville has already found ways to involve him.<\/p>\n

        But I wouldn’t overreact to two touchdowns. Three receptions across three games isn’t the kind of volume that supports dependable weekly production, and touchdowns are unpredictable for a receiver who isn’t seeing many passes.<\/p>\n

        Here’s what to watch:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Does his route participation increase?<\/li>\n
        • Does he start earning more targets?<\/li>\n
        • Can he produce between the 20s, not just in the end zone?<\/li>\n
        • Does Jacksonville keep designing plays for him?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          If those answers start trending the right way, Cameron becomes a much more interesting dynasty asset. For now, he’s a low-cost developmental stash.<\/p>\n

          The Commish’s Take:<\/strong> Cameron is a speculative flyer, not a weekly starter. His two touchdowns and college production justify a closer look, but his limited volume means managers should keep expectations grounded.<\/p>\n

          Roman Wilson vs. Josh Cameron: Which Dynasty Stash Fits Your Roster?<\/h2>\n

          Both players are available in plenty of leagues, but the reasons to roster them are different.<\/p>\n

          Wilson has produced more receiving volume through three games, while Cameron has scored more touchdowns on far fewer catches.<\/p>\n

          Neither player needs to be a priority in every dynasty format. Their value to you depends on your roster depth, scoring settings, available alternatives, and how much patience you can afford. In deeper leagues, both deserve consideration. In shallow leagues where every roster spot has to produce now, the decision gets harder.<\/p>\n

          Final Word From the Commish<\/h2>\n

          Week 4 is a good reminder that the dynasty waiver wire doesn’t have to be full of obvious names to be useful.<\/p>\n

          Roman Wilson is starting to show more of what managers hoped to see when they drafted him. Josh Cameron is a rookie with two touchdowns, a productive college background, and a chance to earn a bigger role in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

          Neither is a guaranteed breakout. But that’s why we dig through the leftovers in the first place.<\/p>\n

          Watch the opportunity. Watch the targets. Watch the routes. Don’t let one quiet week convince you a young player is finished, and don’t let one touchdown convince you he’s arrived.<\/p>\n

          Sometimes the move that helps your dynasty team next season is the free pickup you make today.<\/p>\n

          Dynasty Waiver Wire Week 4: Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

          Who are the best dynasty waiver-wire leftovers for Week 4?<\/h3>\n

          Roman Wilson and Josh Cameron are two low-owned receivers worth investigating. Wilson has 11 catches for 114 yards and a touchdown through three games, while Cameron has scored twice on only three receptions.<\/p>\n

          Is Roman Wilson worth adding in dynasty fantasy football?<\/h3>\n

          Wilson is worth considering as a speculative addition if he’s available in your league. His receiving yardage climbed from 26 yards in Week 1 to 60 yards in Week 3, and he has seen six targets in every game. Monitor whether that role holds.<\/p>\n

          Should I pick up Josh Cameron in dynasty leagues?<\/h3>\n

          Cameron is a reasonable deep-bench flyer for managers who can afford to wait on a developing receiver. He has two touchdowns through Jacksonville’s first three games and a strong college record at Baylor, but his low reception total makes him risky for your starting lineup.<\/p>\n

          Why are low-ownership players important in dynasty fantasy football?<\/h3>\n

          Low-ownership players are an inexpensive way to build roster depth before their roles become established. Not every waiver pickup becomes a starter. The goal is finding players whose future opportunity is worth more than the roster spot it costs to hold them.<\/p>\n

          Should I spend blind-bidding money on these players?<\/h3>\n

          That depends on your league’s budget, roster depth, and competition for each player. If blind bidding has already passed, check whether the player is still available as a free agent. Avoid spending aggressively based on one touchdown or one productive game.<\/p>\n
