Fantasy Football Week 4 Start/Sit Advice

Derrick Henry (RB – TEN)

“There are a number of factors that could be causing Derrick Henry’s career lows in yards after contact, PFF’s elusiveness grade, and breakaway run percentage. Maybe he’s finally hit the age/touch cliff. Maybe his toe injury is bothering him more than we know. Maybe his offensive line is truly offensive (he’s met in the backfield on half his touches). Whatever the reason(s), we’re a subpar week away from Henry getting flex-zoned.”
Seth Miller (Crossroads Fantasy Football)

James Conner (RB – ARI)

James Conner has enjoyed a hot start to the 2023 season, but things get much more difficult in a matchup with the division rival San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco is allowing a measly 53 rushing yards per game to opposing offenses, so you have to hope Conner finds his way into the end zone to save his day. Game script could get away from the Cardinals in this one if San Francisco gets out to an early lead. I’d look for other options in my flex this week if I have depth at either running back or wide receiver. ”

James Conner, RB, Cardinals: Credit Conner for a strong start, but I’m not looking to attack this matchup with San Francisco. The veteran also popped up on the injury report with a back injury.”
Kevin English (Draft Sharks)

Jerome Ford (RB – CLE)

Jerome Ford could disappoint fantasy managers in Week 4. Last week, Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong combined for 11 rush attempts to Ford’s 10. Deshaun Watson had 4 rushes, and Elijah Moore sprinkled in a couple of carries as well. The passing involvement isn’t necessarily there either, as Hunt matched Ford’s 3 targets. Ford is not dominating this backfield as we expected him to after one week without Chubb, and the Ravens’ defense isn’t exactly a cakewalk this week. ”
