Stash & Grow: Week 4
Four cheap names worth owning a year from now, not just this week — the deep stashes your redraft league will never notice.
By Casey Whitfield, News Desk · October 1, 2026
Tuesday's waiver post is about who helps your lineup this Sunday. This one isn't. These four cost almost nothing now and could be worth actual money by next summer — if the role holds. Scores below are the live board from Monday, Sept. 29.
Woody Marks, RB, Houston
Woody Marks has a catch in all three games Houston has played: 1, then 5, then 1. Week 2 was the real receiving week, 5 catches for 27 yards on 6 targets. He is RB2 on Thursday morning's chart, behind David Montgomery. Montgomery still has the early-down carries (20, 6, and 11). Marks has 9, 8, and 5. The live score is 736.
Houston's passing volume is the cap on this, the same one in the Week 4 matchups piece. This is a bet that the checkdown role expands. It is a taxi or bench claim, not a Sunday start.
Kenyon Sadiq, TE, New York Jets
Kenyon Sadiq has 14 targets and 12 catches over three weeks: 3 for 21, 2 for 17, then 7 for 105 in Week 3. He is the listed TE1. The live score is 2,961, and the age profile reads as a buy. He is questionable this week with a back injury, so leave him off the Week 4 lineup.
The Jets' offense is not good enough yet to make him a weekly start. The role is the asset. Tight end is the position where a cheap job now can be worth a premium pick in a year.
Michael Mayer, TE, Las Vegas
Brock Bowers is back. Week 3 he caught 10 of 13 targets for 116 yards, and Michael Mayer still had 3 catches for 32 on 3 targets. Weeks 1 and 2, with Bowers out, Mayer had 7 targets and then 4. He is TE2 on the chart. The live score is 613.
The stash is a team that used him beside Bowers in the same game, not a claim that Mayer stays the starter. Bowers is still the TE1 at 7,195.
Caleb Douglas, WR, Miami
Caleb Douglas is the listed WR2 behind Malik Washington, with Chris Bell at WR3. Through two games Douglas has 7 catches for 113 yards on 10 targets: 5 for 94 on 7 in Week 1, then 2 for 19 on 3 in Week 2. He has no Week 3 line. He was out with an ankle, and he is questionable again this week. The live score is 242. Washington, in the same room, is 772.
This is the cheaper claim on a Miami passing game that has moved the ball, and it waits on the ankle. It is not a Week 4 start.
Snap and target splits are on the target share tool and the usage tool. Price any of these in the trade calculator if the claim turns into a deal.

FAQ
- What is the difference between a stash-and-grow pick and a normal waiver add?
- Timeline. A normal waiver add is meant to help your lineup this week or next. A stash pick is a cheap claim on a role that might be worth far more a year from now, even if it does nothing for your roster right away.
- Should I drop a stash pick if he does not produce right away?
- Not immediately. Check whether the underlying role — snaps, routes, target share — is still trending the direction that got him on this list before giving up on the bet.
- Where can I check a deep name's current role before adding him?
- The live target share tool and usage tool both show actual snap and touch data instead of name recognition.
