  • Brett Maher A Top Option At Kicker

    Headshot for Brett Maher

    Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher is locked in as a top-five option at the position. Maher has hit three field goals in each of his first three games of the season and is connecting on them. The 33-year-old has made nine of 11 field goal attempts and is five-of-five on extra point tries. Maher is a must-start going forward and will continue to get these opportunities, considering how great the Rams have been at getting down the field at will. He is a great play and should not be on any waiver wires, as he faces the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.

  • Van Jefferson Not An Ideal Start In Week 4

    Headshot for Van Jefferson

    Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson put together his best game of the season in Week 3, as he hauled in a 46-yard deep ball from Matthew Stafford. This was Jefferson's only catch of the game and one of just three targets, despite playing 93% of all offensive snaps. The 27-year-old receiver has been out-targeted by four different Rams through the first three games, making it clear that he's not someone Stafford is looking for often. Jefferson should be approached as a low-end WR4 at best, and a DFS dart throw in the team's Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

  • Tutu Atwell A WR2 Option

    Headshot for Tutu Atwell

    Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell has established himself as a go-to target for Matthew Stafford early on. The speedy receiver out of Louisville has caught 17 of his 26 targets for 246 receiving yards and is the overall WR11 through the first three weeks of the season. Atwell faces a struggling Indianapolis Colts' secondary this week and has a great opportunity to continue this level of playing. He is a strong WR2 option and has a moderately safe floor in Week 4.

  • Kyren Williams A Must Start In Week 4

    Headshot for Kyren Williams

    Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has played 97% of offensive snaps in his two starts without Cam Akers, which is the highest rate for any RB over the last two games. The second-year back is the overall RB6 in half-PPR leagues and has solidified himself as an every-down player for the Rams. Williams faces the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4, who are allowing just 3.5 yards per carry through the first three weeks of the season. However, this shouldn't scare you as Williams has 17 targets over the last two games and will continue to be an integral part of the team's offense. He is a high-end RB2 with a safe floor this week.

  • Matthew Stafford Continues To Be A Low-End QB1 Play

    Headshot for Matthew Stafford

    Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is the overall QB19 through the first three weeks of the season. While Stafford does have the second-most pass attempts in the entire league, he is completing just over 60% of his throws and has thrown four interceptions. He now faces the Indianapolis Colts in the team's Week 4 matchup, who are currently a bottom-10 pass defense. With his top wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) still out for at least another game, Stafford is a low-end QB1 at best in Week 4 and should mainly be an option in super flex and deeper leagues.

  • Seattle D/ST Welcome Back Jamal Adams In Week 4

    Headshot for Jamal Adams

    The Seattle Seahawks defense has done little to stop their opponents this year, allowing just over 29 points per game, the third-worst rate in the league. In Week 4, they will get a boost with the return of safety Jamal Adams (quadriceps) who has been sidelined with an injury since 2002's season opener. Second-year cornerback Riq Woolen (chest) is also expected to play after missing Week 3 due to injury. Unfortunately, Seattle's defense is still banged up, with five members of their secondary not practicing or being limited in practice on Friday. The woeful New York Giants are on tap for Week 4. The Giants are averaging just over 14 points per game and have given up five turnovers and 12 sacks already in 2023, making Seattle a tempting streaming option.

  • Jason Myers A Top-12 Option In Week 4

    Headshot for Jason Myers

    Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers shook off the rust against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3. After starting the season converting three of his six field goal attempts in Weeks 1 and 2, Myers went 5-for-5 in Week 3 and was the only Seahawk to put points on the board in the first half of the game. He also nailed both of his extra-point attempts. In Week 4, Myers and the Seahawks play the New York Giants who are giving up almost 10 fantasy points per game to kickers. Fantasy managers can feel a bit more confident in starting Myers this week.

  • Noah Fant Still On Top Of Seahawks Uninspiring Depth Chart

    Headshot for Noah Fant

    After laying an egg in the Seattle Seahawks' season opener, Noah Fant has 97 receiving yards in his last two games, leading the team's tight ends. Colby Parkinson has 87 yards of his own and his nine targets equal Fant's. Both saw an increased role in Seattle's Week 3 victory over the Carolina Panthers but the team was also missing Will Dissly (shoulder) due to injury. Seattle's propensity to cycle through their tight ends makes Fant an unreliable option for fantasy purposes. Even against the flailing New York Giants in Week 4, he and his companions can be left on the waiver wire.

  • Tyler Lockett A Flex Option In Week 4

    Headshot for Tyler Lockett

    Seattle Seahawks wide receiver came back to earth in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers, catching three of his seven targets for 34 yards after scoring twice in his previous game. Fantasy managers will hope Lockett can rebound in Week 4 against the New York Giants, who have surrendered three touchdowns to wide receivers in their last two games. The Giants' defense has been softer against the run so far in 2023, though, and if the Seahawks jump out to an early lead their pass game will likely take a back seat to Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. Still, Lockett owns a whopping 36.39% share of his team's air yards and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba has not posed a threat to the veteran's workload, so he should still be heavily involved on Monday. Lockett can be treated as a flex option in Week 4.

  • Kyzir White Is a Solid Start in Week 4

    Headshot for Kyzir White

    Arizona Cardinals linebacker Kyzir White is one of the top ten IDP linebackers through three weeks of 2023, and he is a solid start in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are a run-heavy team with 33.7 rush attempts per game, sixth-most in the league. White is a strong tackler against the run. He has made 13 tackles on run plays, according to PFF, No. 6 in the league, and he has the 12th-lowest missed tackle rate on run plays. White has made at least seven tackles in each week of the season.

  • Aidan Hutchinson Leads the NFL in Pressures After Thursday Night Football

    Headshot for Aidan Hutchinson

    Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson made two tackles and 1.5 sacks in the Lions' 34-20 win over the Packers on Thursday Night Football. According to PFF's unofficial statistics, the second-year standout made a total of eight pressures and two QB hits. That puts him at 27 total pressures on the season, an average of 6.8 per game, both of which lead the NFL. He had 19 pressures in the first three weeks, which is tied for the most of any defensive player who has played three games.

  • DK Metcalf Practices Friday, Expected To Play Week 4

    Headshot for DK Metcalf

    Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) logged his first 100-yard game of the season in Week 3. Metcalf was playing through rib soreness after suffering a hard shot to his side in Week 2. Similar to the previous week, he missed Thursday's practice ahead of Seattle's upcoming game, but he practiced in full on Friday and is expected to play in the Monday night matchup against the New York Giants. Wide receiver production against the Giants has been limited somewhat due to the fact that opponents are running so well against them, but they did allow 129 yards and a touchdown to Deebo Samuel in Week 3. As long as he is active, Metcalf should be in starting lineups.

  • Zach Charbonnet Ready For More Work In Week 4

    Headshot for Zach Charbonnet

    Fantasy managers are still awaiting Zach Charbonnet's big breakout but in Week 3 the rookie running back gave us a taste of what is to come. The second-round pick had the most productive day of his young career against the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, toting the ball nine times for 46 yards. The line was modest but it was underscored by his snap share which leaped to 44%, nearly matching Kenneth Walker III's 49% share. In Week 4, the Seahawks head to New York to face the Giants, who are giving up 101 rushing yards per game. Charbonnet's stock is rising but he still projects as an RB4 in Week 4, though he may benefit most if the game against the struggling Giants turns into a blowout. He can be started in deep league formats but should be treated as a bench stash in 10- and 12-team leagues.

  • Brock Purdy Worth Consideration Against Arizona

    Headshot for Brock Purdy

    San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will be a startable option when his team hosts the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. In Week 3, Purdy was 25-of-37 for 310 yards passing, two touchdowns, and no interceptions against a New York Giants defense that blitzed him on a ridiculous 84.6% of his dropbacks, which is the highest single-game blitz rate in the Next Gen Stats era. Coincidentally, Arizona's defense is ranked second to the Giants in season-long blitz rate at 34.5%, although it hasn't worked out too well for them either, ranking 19th in total pass defense. Good matchup aside, it is worth noting that Purdy's receiving crew is a bit banged up heading into Sunday. Main target Deebo Samuel (rib/knee) is listed as questionable and third receiver Jauan Jennings (shin) is doubtful. The good news is that Brandon Aiyuk will play after missing last week. Purdy will be relatively stable as a borderline QB1 with a slight boost or fade depending on Samuel's updated status.

  • Puka Nacua Removed From Week 4 Injury Report

    Headshot for Puka Nacua

    Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (oblique) was removed from the team's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He logged a limited practice on Wednesday but was able to practice in full on Thursday and Friday. The hype train darling has been on a record pace to open the 2023 season in the absence of fellow receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring), who may be returning as soon as Week 5. Nacua will be up against a porous Colts' secondary that allowed two touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in Week 1 and Week 2. In spite of logging a record-setting 42 targets in his first three games, Nacua has yet to find the end zone. Fantasy managers should still feel safe giving the rookie another start in Week 4, who again can be treated as a WR2 with WR1 upside.

  • Patrick Mahomes Good To Go In Week 4

    Headshot for Patrick Mahomes

    Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) practiced in full all week. In Week 3, there was a brief scare after his ankle was rolled up on, but the quarterback remained in the game and did not seem to be affected in the victory against the Chicago Bears. The 28-year-old suffered no setbacks in practice and is ready to go in Week 4 against the New York Jets. In spite of their woes on the offensive side of the ball, the Jets defense has been surprisingly resilient. In the season opener against the Bills, the team intercepted Josh Allen three times and, through the first three weeks of 2023, are allowing opposing quarterbacks just 231 yards per game. Regardless, Mahomes is a must-start in Week 4.

  • Tyler Boyd Worthy Of Flex Consideration On Sunday

    Headshot for Tyler Boyd

    Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has 13 catches for 101 yards through the first three weeks of the 2023-24 campaign. While those numbers aren't terrible, they align with most fantasy managers' expectations. Of course, Boyd isn't the 1,000-yard receiver he was before Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase entered the equation. However, the 24-year-old is usually good for at least a few stellar fantasy performances during any given season, so he deserves flex attention in Week 4 versus a Titans defense that's struggled against opposing wideouts.

  • Tee Higgins Hard To Trust Versus Titans

    Headshot for Tee Higgins

    Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins hasn't met expectations this season. Although he played fantastic in Week 2 versus Baltimore, he caught only two of his 16 targets in Weeks 1 and 3 combined. The 24-year-old dropped some wide-open passes in the win over the Rams on Monday night, so he's certainly looking to get back on track on Sunday versus Tennessee. Understandably, fantasy managers will find it hard to trust him in Week 4. Yet, he's still a top wideout in the National Football League. With Joe Burrow (calf) looking healthier than he has in months, Higgins can't be benched in any fantasy format, even though he's a volatile option.

  • Kareem Hunt Off Injury Report For Week 4

    Headshot for Kareem Hunt

    Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin, ribs) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Hunt did not practice to open the week and was limited on Thursday and Friday, but the team gave him the green light for the divisional matchup. Hunt re-signed with the Browns after Nick Chubb's catastrophic knee injury in Week 2. In Week 3, he had seven touches for a total of 45 yards from scrimmage. He will continue operating as the backup to Jerome Ford (shoulder) but may see his workload expand as he gets back into game shape. For Week 4, Hunt is a deep-league flex play at best.

  • Ja'Marr Chase Hopes To Stay Hot On Sunday

    Headshot for Ja'Marr Chase

    Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase struggled in the first two weeks of the season, leaving fantasy managers scratching their heads. But the former LSU Tiger finally erupted on Monday night in the win over the Rams, catching 12 of his 15 targets for 141 yards. Surely, Chase's production this season is directly correlated to the health of Joe Burrow (calf). However, Burrow appears healthier than he has in months entering Week 4, meaning Chase has an excellent chance to stay hot versus a Titans defense that's had issues stopping opposing wideouts all year.

  • Joe Mixon Looks To Remain Involved In Week 4

    Headshot for Joe Mixon

    Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon didn't do much in the first two weeks of the 2023-24 campaign. But in Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Rams, he scored his first touchdown of the year. While the former Oklahoma Sooner still hasn't surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark this season, his performance on Monday was a step in the right direction. Mixon will look to keep fantasy managers happy in Week 4 against Tennessee. On paper, the Titans defense has allowed only 156 rushing yards to opposing running backs all year. However, that number is somewhat misleading, considering Tennessee played the Saints, Chargers, and Browns, who were all without their top running backs. If Joe Burrow (calf) can keep the Tennessee defense on its toes by connecting with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd, Mixon should get the breathing room needed to be productive in Week 4.

  • Patriots Defense Worth Starting In Week 4

    The New England Patriots' defense remains a solid option for Week 4 versus the Dallas Cowboys. Although Dallas has a very talented offense, the Patriots' defense has shown that it can play stellar regardless of matchup. It's also worth noting that if the Cardinals can hold the Cowboys to 16 points while picking off one pass, the Patriots can have a high ceiling, too.

  • Bills Defense A Week 4 Fade After Wild Day

    The Buffalo Bills defense utterly wrecked the game in Week 3's 37-3 pounding of the Washington Commanders for a whopping nine sacks and four interceptions. Terrel Bernard picked one off when quarterback Sam Howell forced a pass over the middle on third-and-19 in the first quarter. Micah Hyde then cut off a wobbly pass near the first half's end for another. Tre'Davious White joined the party with an end-zone pick on the first drive out of half before A.J. Epenesa finally put the game on ice with a late pick-six. Buffalo's D is missing star safety Jordan Poyer (knee) on top of Von Miller (knee) for Week 4's date with the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers may want to chase last Sunday's 34-point effort, but they could probably find better streaming options on waiver wires than the Bills unit with Miami allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game (1.67) to opposing defenses.

  • Tyler Bass Ranks Among The Best Versus Miami

    Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass had a busy first half in last Sunday's 37-3 rout of the Washington Commanders, making good on his first 36-yard attempt of the game. Bass then nailed a 54-yard try right down the middle at the first half's two-minute warning before pushing another 34-yard boot through on Buffalo's last drive of the half following a takeaway. The fourth-year man is now a flawless 17-for-17 on all kicks this season, and next takes on the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. Scoring chances should be bountiful in Sunday's divisional battle, so fantasy managers can lock in Bass arguably as the slate's top kicking selection.

  • Ezekiel Elliott Tough To Trust In Revenge Game

    New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is not a reliable fantasy option ahead of his revenge game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. The veteran's usage has been inconsistent this season; he had just 13 yards in Week 2 but averaged 5.0 YPC on 16 rushes last Sunday. It also goes without saying that the Patriots have a tough matchup and Elliott will continue to operate as the No. 2 option behind Rhamondre Stevenson. In his return to Dallas, the 28-year-old should be viewed as a high-end fantasy RB4.

  • Rhamondre Stevenson A Fine Fantasy Option Despite Tough Matchup

    Headshot for Rhamondre Stevenson

    New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson should be started in most fantasy leagues despite a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. The 25-year-old has struggled with efficiency this season, mustering just 2.91 yards per carry, but has managed to rank as the overall RB18, largely thanks to his passing-game usage (10 receptions on 13 targets through three weeks). If the Patriots find themselves playing behind against a tough Dallas defense, Stevenson could carve out a significant receiving role. He's a mid-to-low fantasy RB2 at the moment.

  • Hunter Henry Should Bounce Back In Week 4

    Headshot for Hunter Henry

    New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is primed to bounce back against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Though he mustered just two catches for 17 yards last Sunday, his poor performance can be blamed on rainy weather, especially considering he amassed 108 yards and two touchdowns through the first two games of the year. With the benefits of a dome and potential negative game script versus Dallas, Henry has a chance to thrive. He should continue to be one of Mac Jones' top targets, ranking as a mid-range fantasy TE1.

  • Latavius Murray's Goal-Line Role Keeps Him Relevant

    Headshot for Latavius Murray

    Buffalo Bills running back Latavius Murray appears to have leapfrogged Damien Harris as the squad's primary change-of-pace runner behind starter James Cook. The 33-year-old has out-snapped Harris in three straight weeks, leading the Bills backfield with eight red-zone touches this season. With no greater than eight overall touches or 31 total yards in any of these three contests, Murray remains one of fantasy's most touchdown-dependent RB4/FLEX desperation plays behind the hyper-efficient Cook. Cook could start eating into Murray's high-value touches if he maintains his strong early-season play, but Murray is at least the preferred Buffalo handcuff to roster over Harris at the moment.

    New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is not on the fantasy radar ahead of Week 4 versus the Dallas Cowboys. The offseason addition has been a major disappointment and mustered just five yards on one catch last week. He seems to have lost some trust among the Patriots' coaching staff and continues to be out-produced by Kendrick Bourne and DeVante Parker. You can leave Smith-Schuster on fantasy waivers (or drop him if you haven't done so already).

  • Dalton Kincaid Still Not A Top-12 Play For Week 4

    Headshot for Dalton Kincaid

    Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's usage fell victim to Week 3's 37-3 destruction of the Washington Commanders, catching both of targets for a meager three yards. The highlight of the 23-year-old's three-game profile shows the fifth-most slot snaps (62) at his position. Besides that, there hasn't been much special to see out of Kincaid yet across his first three career contests. But the 2023 first-round pick will try to break out in a Week 4 meeting with the Miami Dolphins that should supply plenty of scoring opportunities. Miami has given up the eighth-highest fantasy points per game (14.37) to his position, but Kincaid is still more TE2 than TE1 unless Buffalo opts to phase out Dawson Knox, who has four red-zone targets to Kincaid's two, from the passing game a bit.

  • DeVante Parker Not A Reliable Option In Week 4

    Headshot for DeVante Parker

    New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker is difficult to trust in fantasy football ahead of his Week 4 clash against the Dallas Cowboys. For starters, Dallas has a strong defense that could impose its will against New England on Sunday. Additionally, although Parker played 76 percent of offensive snaps last week, he caught just two passes for 19 yards. Perhaps his poor production can be blamed on rainy conditions, but other potential explanations also exist. It's incredibly possible that no Patriots wide receiver can be trusted in fantasy football, as has been the case in years past. If you're rostering Parker, leave him on the bench this Sunday.

  • Kendrick Bourne A Shaky Option For Week 4

    Headshot for Kendrick Bourne

    New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is an unreliable fantasy option heading into Week 4 versus the Dallas Cowboys. It's no secret that Dallas has a tough defense and should make it difficult for Mac Jones and co. to get much done on Sunday. It should also be noted that while Bourne leads the team in targets, catches, and yards, his season stats are skewed by an explosive Week 1 performance in which he scored two touchdowns. Bourne has 75 yards over his last two games and played just 56 percent of snaps last week. You can leave him on your bench for the time being.

  • Pat Freiermuth A TE2 For Week 4

    Headshot for Pat Freiermuth

    Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth was able to find the end zone for the second time this season in Week 3. The big tight end hasn't seen a heavy volume of targets, which has made him mainly touchdown dependent in fantasy leagues. The lack of targets is a bit concerning considering the Steelers are still without Diontae Johnson (hamstring) who is on the injured reserve. Right now, Freiermuth appears to be the No. 2 option behind George Pickens. That being said, he should continue to see a handful of targets. He'll get a favorable matchup versus the Houston Texans in Week 4. Fantasy managers can put Freiermuth on the TE2 radar for this week.

    New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones should be avoided in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 4 clash with the Dallas Cowboys. While Jones owns a respectable 64.8 percent completion rate and five-to-two touchdown-to-interception ratio, he's an unappealing option given his matchup and suboptimal fantasy production over the last two weeks. Week 5 versus New Orleans represents another tough task for the young quarterback, though he should be able to get back on track in Week 6 against the Raiders, at the latest.

  • Jaylen Warren Has Low-End Flex Value

    Headshot for Jaylen Warren

    Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren continues to see an increased usage each week. In Week 3, Warren saw a 45.2 percent snap share, which was his largest of the season. Despite that, both Warren and Najee Harris have struggled on the ground early in the season. Warren has been the better fantasy option between the two due to his receiving ability. However, both backs should have better games versus the Houston Texans defense in Week 4. A defensive unit that has allowed a league-high seven touchdowns on the ground through three games. The expectation is that these two will continue to split up the reps, so neither player has great value. Warren should be able to carry low-end flex value in PPR formats.

    Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has failed to do much on the ground early in the season. In fact, Harris has yet to score a touchdown or top 65 rushing yards in a single game through three contests. It's also worth noting that Jaylen Warren continues to be involved in the backfield as well. That being said, Harris will need to pick up the slack or risk losing more snaps to Harris. Luckily, Harris does have a favorable matchup versus the Houston Texans in Week 4. A defensive unit that has given up a league-most seven rushing touchdowns this season. Fantasy managers can be hopeful that Harris will be able to provide RB2 value in this above average matchup.

  • Gabe Davis Remains Tough To Project Against Miami

    Headshot for Gabriel Davis

    Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis left his mark with a 35-yard touchdown catch on four targets in Week 3's 37-3 flattening of the Washington Commanders. The 24-year-old's receiving line last Sunday delineated why he's widely regarded as one of fantasy's most inconsistent assets. Week 4's hosting of the Miami Dolphins could be a high-scoring setting where Davis' boom-or-bust prospects are more inclined to offer fantasy explosiveness. With that said, the erratic deep threat has lived up to the moniker in six career games against the Fins, totaling three touchdowns with a 100-yard and targetless outing mixed in during this bumpy span. Though his play style offers a wide range of potential weekly outcomes, consider Davis a WR3 with WR2 upside who remains more enticing in DFS tournaments in this attractive game environment.

  • James Cook Climbing The Ranks Ahead Of Week 4

    Headshot for James Cook

    Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has presented very promising results so far this year, registering at least 16 touches in each of his three opening games. The 24-year-old's role in handling base work and the bulk of targets (13) out of the Bills backfield has lent itself to a relatively high fantasy floor. Cook's five red-zone touches still trail trusted veteran Latavius Murray (eight) in this area, which remains problematic for his ceiling. Buffalo's encouraging combination of positive game script and strong run blocking should eventually yield higher-scoring returns out of Cook, who saw some more high-value touches in Week 3 after getting zero in the season opener. With the 2022 second-rounder ranking third in rushing yards (267) on the young season, treat Cook as an RB2 with RB1 upside in Week 4 against a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the sixth-most ground yards to RBs (337) this year.

  • Eagles Defense Has High Fantasy Upside In Week 4

    The Philadelphia Eagles defense will face the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The Eagles had a strong showing against the formerly undefeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, generating two sacks, forcing two turnovers, and allowing just 11 points to be scored. This week's matchup against Washington could prove to be just as fruitful. The Commanders could not find the end zone last week against Buffalo and turned the ball over four times. They also allowed nine sacks. Even after a hot start against two terrible teams, the Commanders have allowed quarterback Sam Howell to be pressured far too often, and turnovers have become an issue. Expect the Eagles to capitalize on this fact and finish a top-tier unit for fantasy by the end of Week 4.

    Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The 28-year-old has been crushing it so far in 2023. He has made seven of eight field goals over three weeks, with three of them being from over 50 yards out. Elliott has put up double-digit points every week, and this one should be no different. Washington has allowed an average of 32 points to be scored over the past two weeks and will likely struggle to generate pressure with the Eagles offensive line. Expect a heavy dose of extra point attempts with a shot at a few field goals for Elliott in Week 4.

  • Dallas Goedert Could Be In For A Rough Outing In Week 4

    Headshot for Dallas Goedert

    Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. It has been an incredibly slow start for the 28-year-old tight end. With two finishes outside the top 25 and his best performance coming last week as only the TE15, Goedert is struggling to capitalize on a solid target share so far. The matchup against Washington is what is most concerning. The Commanders allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends this year and have given up a total of just 11.3 fantasy points through three weeks. Goedert's ceiling seems capped this week, so be sure to manage expectations if you are rolling him out in Week 4.

  • DeVonta Smith Looks To Bounce Back Against Commanders

    Headshot for DeVonta Smith

    Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. While the 24-year-old missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, he was a full participant on Friday and is not listed on the team's final injury report. Last week against Tampa Bay, Smith came back to earth after scoring in each of the season's first two games. The former Heisman winner took a backseat to A.J. Brown, who got the squeaky wheel treatment after being visibly frustrated about his involvement during Week 2. This matchup against the Commanders is excellent for fantasy wide receivers, setting Smith up for a bounce-back performance. Washington allows the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position and was eaten alive by Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis last week. Consider Smith a high-end WR2 in Week 4.

    Headshot for A.J. Brown

    Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will face the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The 26-year-old got the squeaky wheel treatment last week against Tampa Bay, catching nine of 14 targets for 131 yards. This week's matchup against Washington should provide similar, if not greater, results for fantasy managers. The Commanders have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers through three weeks and had a rough time defending the Bills' top option, Stefon Diggs, last week. Brown is a must-start in Week 4.

  • Ravens Defense To Be Without Marlon Humphrey

    Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. In addition to Humphrey, Baltimore's defense will be without outside linebackers David Ojabo (ankle, knee) and Odafe Oweh (ankle), while safeties Kyle Hamilton (back) and Marcus Williams (pectoral) are questionable to play. Humphrey will be missing his fourth straight game to begin the year after he had foot surgery in August. The Ravens defense will be facing a Browns team without running back Nick Chubb (knee), but given the lack of health on their defense entering the weekend, they should be considered a shaky low-end fantasy defensive unit against a Browns offense that started rolling in Week 3.

  • D'Andre Swift A Top-Tier RB2 In Week 4

    Headshot for D'Andre Swift

    Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift will face the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The 24-year-old has put up 319 scrimmage yards over the past two weeks and scored one touchdown. On paper, Tampa Bay was a tough matchup for Swift last week, but he overcame it and averaged over eight yards per carry. This week's matchup against Washington is similar. However, they just allowed James Cook of Buffalo to over 100 total yards and average 6.5 yards per carry. The Eagles' starting back is becoming matchup-proof and should be treated as a top-tier RB2 in Week 4.

  • Jalen Hurts A Must-Start Against Washington

    Headshot for Jalen Hurts

    Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The 25-year-old has put together two top-10 performances over the past two weeks and now faces a Washington defense that has done well against opposing quarterbacks to open the season. With that said, the only real offense they have played is Buffalo, who scored 37 points] against them last week. Allen averaged 15.3 yards per carry against the Commanders last week and scored, so Hurts is set up for a top-tier fantasy performance in Week 4. You are playing the Eagles quarterback every week if you have him, but after a slow start, this could be the week he gets back on track as an elite option.

  • DeVonta Smith Has No Injury Designation

    Headshot for DeVonta Smith

    Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (illness) was limited in practice on Friday and was removed from the final Week 4 injury report, so he will play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Running back Boston Scott (concussion) also put in a full practice and will play this weekend. Smith was under the weather and didn't practice on Thursday, but he's feeling better and should be left in fantasy starting lineups against a Commanders defense that has been shredded two weeks in a row. The 24-year-old took a back seat to teammate A.J. Brown in the Monday night win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he does have 15 catches on 20 targets for 206 yards and two touchdowns in three games this year. Smith should have a high fantasy floor this Sunday against Washington.

  • Jimmy Garoppolo Officially Questionable For Week 4

    Headshot for Jimmy Garoppolo

    Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) is officially listed as questionable to face the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 on Sunday. Garoppolo didn't practice on Wednesday but got in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday after suffering a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The key detail with the 31-year-old is that he has yet to clear the league's concussion protocol, giving him just one more day to do so before game day on Sunday. He's clearly made some progress, though. However, fantasy managers using Jimmy G in two-QB superflex leagues are in a pickle with the game in the late-afternoon slot on Sunday. If Garoppolo isn't cleared, Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O'Connell would get the start, which could be a disaster for the offense.

    Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) was removed from the team's injury report and will play in Week 4 on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Jeudy logged a pair of limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but got in a full session on Friday. The fourth-year wideout is ready to roll in a plus matchup against the struggling Chicago Bears. He hauled in 5-of-8 targets for 81 scoreless yards against Miami in Week 3 and has 106 yards (eight catches) through two games played so far this season. Jeudy is a solid WR2 on Sunday as the Broncos look to bounce back from an embarrassing Week 3 loss at the hands of the Dolphins.

    Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (illness) returned to practice on Friday after missing Thursday's session with an illness. The 29-year-old tight end missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but getting a full session in on Friday will make him ready to go for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. So far, Donald Parham Jr. has been the preferred red-zone tight end for quarterback Justin Herbert, as he's already hauled in three touchdown passes to Everett's zero. However, with wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) out for the season, Everett could move up the receiving pecking order. He has some streaming appeal in a plus matchup against the leaky Raiders defense.

    San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. The third-year running back injured his knee during Thursday's practice and missed Friday's session as a result. Mitchell has logged 16 carries for 52 yards and has caught 3-of-4 targets for just two yards while spelling starting RB Christian McCaffrey across two games this year (Weeks 1 & 3). He did not log a snap in Week 2. If he is unable to suit up for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Cardinals then Jordan Mason would likely fill in as McCaffrey's backup, although that role does not lend itself to much fantasy value. We will hear more about Mitchell's status on Sunday morning.

    San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. The third-year wideout suffered a shoulder injury in a Week 3 win over the New York Giants and wasn't able to log a practice this week as a result. Jennings looks to be on the wrong side of doubtful due to the limited practice reps. Deebo Samuel (ribs, ankle) is also questionable for Sunday, which means Brandon Aiyuk and rookie Ronnie Bell could be operating as the 49ers' top two options at wide receiver. The arrow is pointing up on Aiyuk but Bell is hard to trust from a fantasy perspective.

  • James Conner Ready To Go For Sunday's Game

    Headshot for James Conner

    Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (back) has been removed from the team's injury report and is set to play in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran running back was limited in practice for most of the week with a back issue but he managed to get in a full practice to end the week and is in line for heavy usage against a tough 49ers defense. Conner has carried the ball 51 times for 266 yards and two scores to go along with seven catches (eight targets) for 26 yards through the air so far. He's a mid-level RB2 despite the difficult matchup on Sunday.

    San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) practiced in full on Friday and will play on Sunday versus the Cardinals. The 25-year-old began the season by accumulating 11 catches for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the first two weeks. However, he missed Week 3 because of a shoulder injury. But with Deebo Samuel (ribs, knee) questionable versus Arizona, Aiyuk should see extra attention from Brock Purdy in Week 4, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats.

    San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ribs, knee) didn't practice on Friday, marking his third consecutive absence. The 27-year-old caught six of his 12 targets for 129 yards and a touchdown versus the Giants in Week 3. However, he's now riding a questionable tag, although there's a good chance he won't be out there in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. Fortunately, Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) practiced in full on Friday, so he'd be in line to see more looks from Brock Purdy if Samuel doesn't suit up. But as always, fantasy managers should monitor things leading up to kickoff on Sunday.

  • Hunter Renfrow Continues Not To Get Targets

    Headshot for Hunter Renfrow

    Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow had two receptions for 17 yards on two targets in Sunday's contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Renfrow's two targets are the most he's seen through three games after receiving one target in Week 2 and zero in Week 1. Only Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Josh Jacobs are seeing consistent passing game usage for the Raiders. Even in Week 2, with Meyers missing the game with a concussion, Renfrow only saw one target on 19 routes run. Renfrow should not be rostered by fantasy managers, given his target share and usage through the first three games this season.

  • Greg Joseph A Risky Streaming Option In Week 4

    Headshot for Greg Joseph

    Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph looks like a risky streaming option in Week 4 as the Vikings take on the Panthers. Joseph hasn't had many opportunities to kick through the first three games of the season, as he has only attempted two field goals, connecting on both of them. The 29-year-old has relied on extra-point attempts to save his fantasy production, but there could be reason to believe the Vikings will need to rely on him this week as the Panthers have had a solid pass defense so far this season. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution, but Joseph has shown the ability to be a reliable option in the past.

  • Gus Edwards Removed From The Injury Report

    Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (head) was removed from the injury report, suggesting he'll suit up for the AFC North battle with the Browns. The 28-year-old cleared concussion protocol and practiced fully during the week, so it didn't seem as if he was in any real danger of missing this one. Edwards has been Baltimore's most productive running back this season, totaling 145 yards and a touchdown off 29 carries. While Justice Hill (foot), who is questionable, or Melvin Gordon III should see some action versus Cleveland, Edwards is expected to remain the primary ball carrier. However, he's still a risky option for any fantasy setup in Week 4.

  • Jaguars D/ST Not On Fantasy Radar Against Falcons

    Headshot for C.J. Stroud

    The Jacksonville Jaguars defense looks to bounce back from an atrocious Week 3 effort on Sunday when they take on the Atlanta Falcons in London. The Jags D/ST was a popular streaming candidate last week taking on a rookie quarterback at home. This did not pan out in the slightest, as they were completely outmatched in almost all areas of the field. Quarterback C.J. Stroud finished with 280 passing yards and two touchdowns, which culminated in a 20-point drubbing for the Jags. While the Falcons have one of the least intimidating passing attacks in the entire NFL, they are a top-five rushing offense, so it's better to shy away from this defensive unit that has proven to be vulnerable in multiple spots.

  • Zamir White Continues To See Minimal Usage

    Headshot for Zamir White

    Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has been virtually non-existent for the Raiders over the past three games. White is the backup to the Raiders workhorse, Josh Jacobs, which has led to minimal opportunities and production. Through three weeks, White has totaled five carries for 24 yards, a lost fumble, and one reception for five yards. Six opportunities for 29 total yards and zero touchdowns in three games is minimal usage. White is a nonfactor in fantasy and should continue to be insignificant to the offense regardless of the matchup as long as Jacobs remains healthy. Fantasy managers can leave White on their waiver wires or stash him on the bench as an insurance back.

    Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to keep his strong start to the season going in Week 4, as the Vikings take on the Panthers. Hockenson has found himself averaging 17.0 PPR fantasy points through three games this season, good enough for the overall TE1 spot to start the year. The former Detroit Lion has taken on a crucial role in one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the league, which makes him one of the safest TE1 options for fantasy managers at what is a very shallow position once again. Hockenson is a must-start option.

    Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa (hamstring/toe) didn't practice on Friday, marking his third consecutive absence. The 28-year-old has three sacks this season, so it would be a tough blow to the Chargers defense if he's not available for the Week 4 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He's considered questionable, so it appears he has a chance to be out there on Sunday. However, missing practice on a Friday is never a promising sign, so IDP managers should prepare to be disappointed.

    Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram looks to continue his consistent season against Atlanta on Sunday. Engram sits at No. 3 among tight ends in receiving yards and targets, reaching at least five catches and 49 yards in each game thus far. He has been the most consistent producer in a middling Jaguar offense, giving fantasy managers a solid floor to work with. The Falcons were also just shredded by rookie tight-end Sam LaPorta last week, suggesting that Engram could get his first touchdown of '23. Play Engram with confidence against ATL.

  • Calvin Ridley A Shaky WR2 In Revenge Game Vs. Falcons

    Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley heads into a revenge matchup against the Atlanta Falcons this week in London. Ridley was infamously suspended for a year (Gambling) as a member of the Falcons and then traded to Jacksonville in 2022. The Alabama product started the year hot but has cooled off significantly in the past two weeks, as he now leads the NFL with 10 targets or more in drops. Ridley has caught five of 15 targets in this time span, for only 72 yards. He is quickly slipping as a trusted fantasy asset in the struggling Jags offense, and one more bad performance could relegate him to bench duty for fantasy managers. Still, Ridley is still seeing enough volume to be a solid fantasy starter so better days are ahead for the 28-year-old. He projects as a low-end WR2 against his former team.

  • Justin Jefferson Looks To Stay Hot Versus Panthers

    Headshot for Justin Jefferson

    Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to keep up his strong start to the season in Week 4 against the Panthers, who have given up the ninth-fewest passing yards this season. Jefferson has logged games of 150, 159, and 149 receiving yards to start the 2023 campaign, as he has paced the entire NFL in receiving yardage to this point. He has just one touchdown up to this point which has put a cap on his production, but there is no reason to believe that he isn't capable of putting up better numbers in this department considering his talent level and role in the offense. Fantasy managers can once again treat the former LSU Tiger as one of the most valuable fantasy assets in Week 4.

  • Austin Ekeler Not Expected To Play Sunday

    According to ESPN's Kris Rhim, Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) isn't expected to play on Sunday versus the Raiders. The veteran injured his ankle in the regular-season opener against the Miami Dolphins and has missed the last two games. As a result, Joshua Kelley has been the top guy on the depth chart the last two weeks, although he hasn't taken advantage of his additional workload, totaling just 51 yards off 24 touches. Kelley is hard to trust entering Week 4. Yet, he still warrants consideration from managers in deeper fantasy setups. Regarding Ekeler, the Chargers have a bye on the horizon, meaning he might return for the Week 6 clash with the Dallas Cowboys.

  • Brian Hoyer May Start In Week 4

    Headshot for Brian Hoyer

    Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Brian Hoyer could be in line for the start if starter Jimmy Garoppolo cannot clear the NFL's concussion protocol. Garoppolo was placed in the concussion protocol following the Raiders loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Garoppolo was able to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday and Friday but remained in the concussion protocol on Friday. The Raiders starter has one more chance to clear the protocol before being deemed unavailable for Sunday's game. It is unclear whether Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O'Connell will start for the Raiders, but more clarity on the situation should arise tomorrow once Garoppolo's status is confirmed. Hoyer has not started a game since Week 4 of the 2022 season for the New England Patriots, and he left that game after getting hurt on his first drive. Hoyer has not won a game in 12 straight starts, owning a 75.1 quarterback rating in that span. Although the Chargers are one of the easiest matchups for quarterbacks, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a quarterback to stream in Week 4.

  • Jakobi Meyers Looking To Continue Success

    Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers had another outstanding performance, posting seven receptions for 85 yards on 12 targets against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meyers missed Week 2 with a concussion but returned in Week 3 and picked up right where he left off in Week 1. Through two games, Meyers is averaging eight receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets per game. Meyers will follow up his strong performance with a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. The Chargers defense has given up the most passing yards, third-most passing touchdowns, and third-highest yards per attempt. Despite being on a team with superstar Davante Adams, Meyers is commanding an over 30% target share on a team that will be in negative game scripts most weeks. Meyers is also a great fit for Garoppolo because he is an excellent receiver in the short to intermediate areas. Fantasy managers will want to watch Garoppolo's status for Sunday's game because the Raiders quarterback is still in the concussion protocol. If Garoppolo cannot start, Meyers must rely on veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O'Connell in Sunday's contest. Meyers is a high-end WR2 regardless of who is behind center, but fantasy managers should temper expectations if Garoppolo cannot play.

  • Davante Adams Looking To Repeat Big Performance

    Headshot for Davante Adams

    Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams put up his best line of the season with 13 receptions for 172 yards and two touchdowns on 20 targets against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Adams follows up his massive performance with a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense has given up the most passing yards, third-most passing touchdowns, and third-highest yards per attempt. Through three games, Adams has the second-highest targets per route run percentage among wide receivers, with at least 50 routes per Jacob Gibbs. Adams is primed for another big performance on Sunday. Fantasy managers should watch Jimmy Garoppolo's status for the game since the Raiders quarterback is still in the concussion protocol. Garoppolo targeted Adams on 20 of his 44 pass attempts, and the game plan should be the same in a game where the Raiders may need to pass to keep pace with the Chargers offense. If Garoppolo cannot suit up, Adams will have to rely on veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O'Connell to throw passes to him. Without Garoppolo, Adams could have a lower ceiling, but he is a locked-and-loaded WR1 regardless of who is behind center.

    Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to take advantage of a favorable matchup in Week 4 as the Vikings take on the Panthers, who have allowed the sixth-most rushing yards, 4.5 yards per carry, as well as six rushing touchdowns through three games this season. Mattison is coming off a solid effort in Week 3 where he rushed the ball 20 times for 93 yards and caught five passes on seven targets for 32 yards. Cam Akers may put a cap on his ceiling moving forward, but Mattison is still considered to be the lead back despite the addition of the former Ram to the mix. Fantasy managers can treat him as an RB2 option in this solid matchup.

  • Josh Jacobs Looking To Break Out In Week 4

    Headshot for Josh Jacobs

    Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs rushed for 62 yards on 17 carries on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also added three receptions for 18 yards on five targets. Jacobs has been underwhelming in his first three games this season. Last year's rushing champ has not looked like the explosive runner he was last season. That inefficiency could be due to the Raiders offensive line, which ranks 13th ahead of Week 4 per PFF, or Jacobs missing all of training camp and preseason due to his holdout. This week, the Raiders take on the Los Angeles Chargers, who give up 4.4 yards per carry to opposing running backs. Jacobs is undoubtedly the workhorse and goal-line back on his team, accounting for 45 of 50 running back carries this season, good for 90% of carries. With Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in concussion protocol, the game plan could shift towards relying on Jacobs and the run game to carry the offense on Sunday. Jacobs is a solid RB1 with upside against the Chargers this week.

  • Jimmy Garoppolo Remains in Concussion Protocol

    Headshot for Jimmy Garoppolo

    Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) had arguably his best game of the season last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Raiders QB passed for 324 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. It was also arguably Garoppolo's worst game considering his season-low completion percentage and season-high three interceptions. It was encouraging to see his passing yardage eclipse 200 yards for the first time this year, but his turnover woes are still a concern. Garoppolo is slated to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The Chargers are one of the easiest matchups for quarterbacks this season, allowing the most passing yards, third-most passing touchdowns, and third-highest yards per attempt. Garoppolo was placed in the concussion protocol on Sunday night following the contest. As of Friday, Garoppolo remains in the concussion protocol, despite limited practices the last two days, which puts his status for Sunday in doubt. If Garoppolo is unable to clear the protocol on Saturday, the Raiders will likely turn to veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O'Connell for the start on Sunday. It may be wise to downgrade expectations for the Raiders offense in this contest.

    Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to keep his solid fantasy production going in Week 4 as the Vikings look for their first win of the season against the Panthers. Through three games, Cousins leads the league in passing yards (1,075) and passing touchdowns (nine) on his way to being the QB2 overall in fantasy. He now faces a Panthers' defense that hasn't allowed much through the air this season, as they have given up the ninth-fewest passing yards through three games. Nonetheless, fantasy managers can continue to treat the veteran as a QB1 option in this one.

    Headshot for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

    Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine should start for the Titans in two wide receiver sets against the Cincinnati Bengals in the absence of Treylon Burks (knee). Westbrook-Ikhine has seven receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown in three games thus far. The Titans' passing offense is far from reliable, but there are fantasy managers in ultra-deep leagues that could use him as a desperation flex play. Chris Moore, who has three receptions for 90 yards, should see an uptick in snaps, too. Ultimately, DeAndre Hopkins should be a lock to see double-digit targets, but Westbrook-Ikhine or Moore will likely see the leftovers.

    Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk has come on strong as of late and looks to continue his solid play vs. Atlanta this week. The fifth-year player out of Texas A&M has provided fantasy managers two top-30 finishes in a row, after settling in at WR96 Week 1. It's no secret that the Jags offense has looked discombobulated to start the year, but Kirk has been one of the long bright spots over the past two weeks for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The shifty receiver is second on the team in targets and tied for the lead in receiving yards with both Ridley and Evan Engram. Consider Kirk a fine flex option for the matchup with Atlanta in London.

    Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (foot) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. Hill didn't practice Wednesday, was limited on Thursday, and put in a full practice on Friday, so he figures to have a good shot at returning after missing the Week 3 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts due to turf toe. Gus Edwards was cleared from his concussion and will play against Cleveland, so even if Hill is able to return, he'll have to share backfield work with Edwards. If he misses a second straight game, Melvin Gordon III will back up Edwards once again. Hill has two touchdowns in 2023, but he's also averaging a weak 2.6 yards per carry.

    The NFL is reinstating Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams on Monday, two weeks before his gambling suspension was set to end, according to sources. It comes as part of the newly agreed to policies related to gambling. Williams will now be eligible to make his 2023 debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. The 22-year-old was originally scheduled to be suspended for the first six games of the season, so fantasy managers that had been stashing him get a welcomed surprise. The speedy deep threat will add another weapon to an already exciting Lions offense. Williams will inevitably take away targets from Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds and rookie tight end Sam LaPorta, with Reynolds being the biggest loser. Williams has also dealt with injuries early in his career, but when healthy, he could be a game-changer for Detroit. Scoop him up now if he's available in your league.

    Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Rashod Bateman (hamstring) and Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) both missed practice all week and have been officially ruled out for Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. It will be Beckham's second straight missed game after he injured his ankle in Week 2. Bateman, a former first-rounder, has done very little for fantasy managers through three weeks, catching seven of nine targets for 59 yards. Both OBJ and Bateman have been overshadowed by first-round rookie Zay Flowers, who should see a heavy workload this weekend against a tough Cleveland defense. Behind Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews, both Nelson Agholor and Devin Duvernay will have bigger pass-catching roles this weekend with Bateman and Beckham sidelined.

With the Dolphins defense missing superstar cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee), Diggs still has to deal with frequent coverage from multi-time Pro Bowler Xavien Howard. Diggs has fared very well against the Fins during Howard's tenure, though, averaging a healthy nine targets with 5.7 catches for 73.1 yards and four touchdowns in seven games since 2018. Holding only three deep targets on the young campaign, the three-time Pro Bowler may be needed as more of a vertical threat if the Bills hope to keep pace with Miami's humming offense. Diggs is a high-floor, high-ceiling WR1 in a matchup featuring the slate's highest implied point total.

  • Kadarius Toney Will Play Against Jets

    Headshot for Kadarius Toney

    Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (toe) was limited in practice all week but was removed from the final Week 4 injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday night in New York against the Jets. Toney was also questionable for Week 3 against the Chicago Bears but played in the blowout win, seeing just three percent of the offensive snaps. The 24-year-old pass-catcher is always dealing with some sort of injury and has barely been a part of KC's offense through three weeks, catching seven of his 11 targets for just 35 yards. He's been dropped in a lot of fantasy leagues to open the year. Although he could see his role expand as the season progresses, there's nothing to indicate that is going to happen anytime soon for Toney.

  • Josh Allen An Exciting QB1 Versus Dolphins

    Headshot for Josh Allen

    Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen didn't need to do much in last Sunday's 37-3 rout of the Washington Commanders, but that's likely to change in Week 4 versus the Miami Dolphins. The 27-year-old aims to pick apart Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's zone-heavy defense, which may not activate Allen's lacking rushing opportunity thus far. Allen has electrified against the Fins in 10 career games, boasting a 106.1 passer rating and 27:5 TD:INT with 55.4 rushing yards per game. Buffalo hasn't played at a high pace yet this year, but that could change in a hurry if they want to keep up with Miami's furious offense. Allen does rank first in interceptable passes (10), per PlayerProfiler, so he carries plenty of weekly turnover risk. Still, we should feel pretty good about the two-time Pro Bowler as a top-line QB1 in a game with the slate's highest implied point total by far.

  • Travis Etienne Jr. A Trusted RB1 vs. Falcons

    Headshot for Travis Etienne

    Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. heads into a Week 4 clash with the Atlanta Falcons. The former first-round pick has been dependable to start the year with two top-10 RB weekly finishes, one of them without even scoring a touchdown. Volume has been king for Etienne, as he has seen an average of 20 opportunities per game through three weeks. Rookie Tank Bigsby is being utilized around the goal line, but Etienne is the dominant workhorse between the 10s commanding a lions' share of the snaps. With the offense struggling mightily last week, Etienne was heavily leaned on to carry the unit. The Atlanta Falcons have been stout against the run in '23, but with how featured Etienne has been this year, he should produce enough to warrant back-end RB1 status yet again.

  • Chandler Jones Arrested On Friday

    Headshot for Chandler Jones

    Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones was arrested on Friday morning in Vegas for two violations of a domestic temporary restraining order. His bail was set to $15,000 and a court date has been set for Dec. 4. Jones had a social-media outburst just before the beginning of the regular season in which he badmouthed the front office and the coaching staff, and he hasn't played through the first three weeks of the season. The 33-year-old was put on the Non-Football Illness list on Sept. 20 and the team remains supportive of him, but this could be the last straw. As of right now, Jones isn't close to getting on the field for the Raiders in 2023.

  • Derek Carr Will Be Questionable In Week 4

    Headshot for Derek Carr

    New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) will be questionable for Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. According to NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill, Carr has a very real shot at playing after looking sharp while throwing passes at Friday's practice. He led the first-team offense and had good velocity on his throws despite suffering an AC joint sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Underhill writes he didn't see anything to suggest that Carr was limited. The 32-year-old will probably be a game-time decision on Sunday morning and won't be a suggested QB1 streamer if he does end up playing. If the Saints hold him out, veteran Jameis Winston would be making his first start of the year.

  • Joe Burrow Not On Final Injury Report

    Headshot for Joe Burrow

    Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is improving from a calf issue that had him questionable to play in Week 3. Burrow was able to practice in full all week and won't enter Sunday's game in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans with an injury designation. The 26-year-old's calf issue is still worth keeping an eye on after he looked extremely limited with his mobility in the Monday night win over the Los Angeles Rams. Burrow and the Bengals offense have gotten off to a slow start in the first three weeks, likely because Burrow missed all of training camp and the preseason due to his calf injury. However, he finally got top wideout Ja'Marr Chase involved on Monday, and his timing and accuracy should only improve the more he plays. Burrow should be considered a low-end QB1 in fantasy against the Titans.

  • Irv Smith Jr. Won't Play In Week 4

    Headshot for Irv Smith Jr.

    Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Week 4 contest this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Smith was unable to practice all week and will now be inactive for the second straight game. The oft-injured 25-year-old is off to a bad start in his first year in Cincinnati. In the first two games, he caught just five of his nine targets for 27 yards. Now that he's hurt, Smith belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues for the foreseeable future. The Bengals got all three of Tanner Hudson, Mitchell Wilcox and Drew Sample involved in the Monday night win over the Los Angeles Rams, but none of them are worth streaming at the tight end position in Week 4 with Smith out again.

  • Rams List Tyler Higbee As Questionable

    Headshot for Tyler Higbee

    Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (Achilles) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4. The good news is that Higbee is going to do some stuff at practice on Friday, according to head coach Sean McVay. The 30-year-old just signed a three-year extension with the Rams for $27 million on Friday, but he might have to sit out this weekend. He's been in play as a low-end TE1 in fantasy through the first three weeks of the season, but he'll probably be more volatile as a touchdown-dependent option once receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) returns from Injured Reserve, potentially as early as next week. If Higbee is out or limited on Sunday, Brycen Hopkins will most likely serve as the team's pass-catching tight end.

  • Cooper Kupp Will Practice Next Week

    Headshot for Cooper Kupp

    Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) will return to practice next week as the team activates his 21-day window to return from Injured Reserve. The Rams are still holding out hope that Kupp can make his 2023 debut in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but we won't have a better idea of whether that is realistic or not until the 30-year-old resumes practicing. Kupp was a first-round pick in most fantasy drafts, so those that took him will surely hope he'll be back next week and pick up where he left off as quarterback Matthew Stafford's top target. How Kupp's return will affect the roles of rookie Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell is yet to be seen, but they will inevitably have lower fantasy ceilings if Kupp his healthy.

  • Logan Thomas Cleared To Play Against Eagles

    Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (concussion) has been cleared to play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday after he cleared the league's concussion protocol this week. Thomas suffered a concussion in Week 2 and sat out the Week 3 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he will return as the team's top pass-catching tight end this weekend. The 32-year-old has six catches on 11 targets for 65 yards and one touchdown through two games in 2023. The oft-injured tight end could be a sneaky tight end sleeper play in deeper fantasy leagues against Philly in a game in which the Commanders are probably going to have to air it out.

  • Jonathan Mingo Picks Up Questionable Tag

    Headshot for Jonathan Mingo

    Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (concussion) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday in a Week 4 tilt against the Minnesota Vikings. Mingo was able to shed his non-contact jersey at practice on Friday, but the 22-year-old still hasn't been completely cleared from the league's concussion protocol and may not play this weekend. Even if he's able to suit up, he's a pretty risky flex play in deeper fantasy leagues. In his first three NFL games, Mingo has put up only eight catches on 19 targets for 64 yards. If Mingo is ruled inactive on Sunday, Terrace Marshall Jr. should serve as the No. 3 wideout for Carolina behind Adam Thielen and DJ Chark Jr.

  • Rams, Tyler Higbee Agree To Three-Year Extension

    Headshot for Tyler Higbee

    The Los Angeles Rams and tight end Tyler Higbee (Achilles) agreed to a new three-year contract extension on Friday with a base salary of $27 million, a maximum of $30.5 million and $17 million guaranteed. The 30-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2016 out of Western Kentucky has been a reliable pass-catching tight end for the Rams in his first seven seasons and has 11 receptions for 132 yards and no touchdowns on 15 targets in his first three games in 2023. However, he hasn't practiced this week due to an Achilles injury and could be in danger of missing the Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts. And with receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) potentially returning in Week 5, Higbee may be harder to trust in fantasy lineups as a low-end TE1 moving forward.

  • Deshaun Watson Says He'll Play Sunday

    Headshot for Deshaun Watson

    Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, but he said after practice on Friday that "I'm OK, I'll play." Watson said his right shoulder is sore and that there's no structural damage and that he expects to be fine moving forward. The injury occurred on one of the hard shots he took in the Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans, but he wasn't sure which one. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said he can mostly run the same offense with rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson if Watson can't go. Cleveland has a bye in Week 5, which will give Watson more time to rest his shoulder. The 28-year-old will look to keep things going after a strong game last Sunday. Watson should be considered a high-end QB2 against Baltimore.

  • Treylon Burks Ruled Out For Week 4

    Headshot for Treylon Burks

    Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. It's been a frustrating beginning to the 2023 season for Burks, who has six receptions on 13 targets for 99 yards and no touchdowns through three games. It remains to be seen if the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher will be ready to play in Week 5 on the road in Indianapolis against the Colts. With Burks out against Cincy, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore will have bigger roles in the passing game behind top wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Tight end Chigoziem Okonwko and pass-catching running back Tajae Spears could also have bigger roles.

  • Saquon Barkley Practicing Again Friday

    Headshot for Saquon Barkley

    New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) looked to be moving pretty well in individual drills at practice on Friday, according to the New York Daily News' Pat Leonard. It's a positive sign for Barkley, who has now practiced both days this week leading up to a Monday night matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The 26-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and was forced to miss last Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite the progress, Barkley is no lock to play in Week 4 and is hard to trust as a fantasy option with the game being on Monday. If he's limited or out against Seattle, the G-Men will likely go with a backfield committee again, consisting of Matt Breida, Gary Brightwell and rookie Eric Gray.

  • DJ Chark Jr. Removed From Final Injury Report

    Headshot for DJ Chark

    Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) will enter the Week 4 game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings without an injury designation. Chark was rested on Wednesday, put in a limited practice on Thursday and was a full-go on Friday, so he will be active this weekend. The 27-year-old saw one target in his team debut in Week 2 but made an impact in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks with Andy Dalton at quarterback, catching four of 11 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. The return of rookie QB Bryce Young (ankle) this weekend doesn't exactly bode well for Chark's chances of producing another nice game through the air in Week 4.

  • Anthony Richardson Good To Go For Week 4

    Headshot for Anthony Richardson

    Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson (concussion) will start in Week 4 on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Richardson suffered a concussion in Week 2 and was held out of the Week 3 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens. However, the fourth overall pick in this year's draft cleared the concussion protocol this week and is good to return to a starting role, pushing Gardner Minshew back to the bench. The 21-year-old is going to need to make improvements as a passer, but he's already a high-end rusher at the QB position and will have QB1 upside most weeks, including this weekend in his return against the Rams.

  • Bryce Young Set To Return On Sunday

    Headshot for Bryce Young

    Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is off the final Week 4 injury report on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The writing was on the wall for Young to return this weekend after he returned to a full practice on Wednesday. The 22-year-old first overall pick tweaked his ankle in Week 2 and was held out of the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The team's passing game picked up with veteran Andy Dalton under center, but Young will return to a pretty strong matchup against a porous Vikings defense. However, he could be without top RB Miles Sanders (groin). Young hasn't looked very good so far in his first two NFL games, but he'll be an upside QB2 in superflex leagues in a promising matchup in his return.

  • Miles Sanders Questionable For Week 4

    Headshot for Miles Sanders

    Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) didn't practice on Friday and is now questionable to play in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Sanders was downgraded at Friday's practice after he was limited on both Wednesday and Thursday. The 26-year-old could be a true game-time decision, so fantasy managers will want to check the Sunday morning inactives to see if he's playing in Week 4. If Sanders is out or limited at all, Chuba Hubbard would step in as Carolina's primary backfield option. And with rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) returning from a one-game absence, the Panthers could very well lean on their ground game as much as possible if game script allows it. For what it's worth, the Panthers are optimistic that Sanders will play.

  • Marquise Brown, Keaontay Ingram Could Be Game-Time Decisions

    Headshot for Marquise Brown

    Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (thumb) and running back Keaontay Ingram (neck), who both popped up on the Week 4 injury report on Thursday, could be game-time decisions for this Sunday's contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Their status will depend on how much they can do in Friday's practice. Brown injured his thumb in Thursday's session, but the 26-year-old's injury apparently isn't serious enough to require surgery. Still, he could be compromised in his pass-catching abilities if he plays through it, especially against one of the toughest defenses in the NFL in San Fran. If Brown is inactive or limited at all on Sunday, Rondale Moore would become a much more interesting flex play for fantasy managers.

  • Deshaun Watson Listed As Questionable For Sunday

    Headshot for Deshaun Watson

    Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 4 on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Watson was limited in practice all week and did some more light throwing in Friday's practice. The Browns were seemingly just managing the 28-year-old's repetitions this week and the team is hopeful that he'll suit up this weekend after having his best performance in a Browns uniform in a blowout win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Fantasy managers that have been rolling with Watson will need to check Sunday morning inactives before locking him in. If he's surprisingly ruled out, rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson would make his first career start.
