Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 4 Rankings
|
1.
Saquon Barkley
RB - PHI (at TB)
Saquon Barkley could be in for extra work in Week 4 given the uncertainty surrounding Philadelphia's primary wide receivers. Both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith missed practice on Wednesday, which leaves their status for this week in question. Barkley has been no stranger to large workloads early in his Eagles tenure. He has 73 touches through three games. Barkley will now face a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense which has allowed the most receiving yards and sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Barkley's ability as a dual-threat running back should be on full display in this game, making him a no-brainer RB1 this week.

2.
Breece Hall
RB - NYJ (vs . DEN)
Breece Hall has arguably been the most consistent fantasy performer through three weeks of the 2024 season. Hall has yet to finish outside the top 14 in weekly scoring. He has scored a touchdown in each game and accounted for at least 83 total yards in all three contests. The explosion game many fantasy managers are waiting on has not happened yet, but that could change in Week 4. Hall was the RB3 in New York's win in Denver last year, and the Jets are the biggest favorites on this week's slate. This will also be the first time that New York has had a week or longer to prepare for an opponent, so Hall should have fresh legs for this game. Breece Hall is on the shortlist of overall RB1 candidates in Week 4.

3.
Jordan Mason
RB - SF (vs . NE)
To say that Jordan Mason is dominating the workload in the San Francisco backfield would be an understatement. Mason has carried the ball 67 times through three weeks. Isaac Guerendo is the only other San Francisco running back to log a carry this season, and he only has six. Mason has a favorable Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots. New England has allowed a rushing touchdown in each of their first three games this year. They gave up 109 rushing yards to the duo of Breece Hall and Braelon Allen last week. With no competition for carries, Mason is a high-end RB1 this week.

|
4.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (vs . NO)
Bijan Robinson enters Week 4 as the overall RB16 with weekly finishes of RB20, RB15, and RB17. It is hard to complain too loudly because that is solid production. But most fantasy managers were expecting a blowup game by now. Saquon Barkley posted an overall RB1 finish against the New Orleans Saints a week ago, and now Robinson managers are expecting him to follow suit. Time will tell if this is the week Robinson goes off, but fantasy managers should still start the Falcons' star as an RB1.
|
|
5.
Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (at CHI)
It may feel like there is a glitch in the matrix when looking at Kyren Williams' statistics versus his fantasy point totals. Williams is the overall RB3 through three games, but it has not exactly been aesthetically pleasing. His 3.0 yards per carry average is the second-lowest among 31 running backs who are averaging 11 or more carries per game. Williams is also one of three backs in that subset who have yet to break a run of 15 yards or longer. But he has 63 total touches through three games, while the other Rams running backs have combined for 12. The Rams are dealing with multiple injuries to their offensive line, so Williams' efficiency may never reach 2023 levels this year. However, the volume cannot be ignored, so Williams remains an every-week start in all formats.
|
|
6.
Jonathan Taylor
RB - IND (vs . PIT)
Jonathan Taylor had has best game of the young season last week, scoring two touchdowns and recording 135 total yards.
|
|
7.
Derrick Henry
RB - BAL (vs . BUF)
Derrick Henry reminded anyone who may have needed reminding that he is still a freak of nature with last week's 174-yard, two-touchdown performance. It will be interesting to see if Baltimore will feed Henry in neutral and negative game scripts, or if last week's game was your classic frontrunner scenario. For now, fantasy managers should treat Henry as an RB1 in a matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo's defense has been solid but is by no means infallible. Both James Conner and De'Von Achane posted top-10 fantasy weeks against the Bills, while Travis Etienne averaged 6.2 yards per carry before the game got out of hand.
|
|
8.
James Conner
RB - ARI (vs . WAS)
James Conner had his first dud of the 2024 season last week. But fantasy managers should not hold that against him heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Washington Commanders. Though they rank in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing backs, Washington is giving up 5.2 yards per carry to opposing backs. Arizona will look to establish Conner after going away from the run against a Detroit pass-funnel defense last week. Conner should get plenty of work in this game, which puts him squarely on the RB1 radar.
|
|
9.
Alvin Kamara
RB - NO (at ATL)
Alvin Kamara popped up on the Week 4 Injury Report with injuries to his hip and rib area. This could be cause for concern considering Kamara has already logged 71 touches this season. His career-high in touches for a season is 287. This week Kamara will do battle with an Atlanta Falcons team that has yet to allow a running back to score against them. These factors reduce the likelihood of a Kamara ceiling game, but he should still be a fixture in fantasy lineups as long as he is medically cleared.
|
|
10.
Aaron Jones
RB - MIN (at GB)
I was told all offseason that Jones was "too old" and "too injury prone." Well, he looks pretty pretty good so far this season. Jones is the RB10 in fantasy, averaging 18 touches and 108.3 total yards. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranks eighth in explosive run rate, ninth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and second in yards after contact per attempt. Yeah, those are good numbers, people. Tell me he isn't motivated to face the Packers and put up a monster stat line in Week 4. Jones should have the opportunity to do it this week. Green Bay has allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the 13th-highest yard per carry to zone runs (Jones 55% zone).
|
|
11.
De'Von Achane
RB - MIA (vs . TEN)
Coming into the year, the biggest question mark with De'Von Achane was whether he would carry more of the load. Achane already has 60 touches through three weeks, albeit in part due to the multi-week absence of Raheem Mostert. Still, Achane has done nothing to suggest he cannot handle the bigger load. He enters Week 4 as the overall RB7 and leads all backs with 17 receptions. His prowess as a receiver should benefit him greatly in a Week 4 date with the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee has already allowed three receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs. No other NFL team has given up more than one. Even if Mostert can return this week, Achane should lead a backfield that will seemingly need to rely more on the short and intermediate passing game with Tua Tagovailoa out.
|
|
12.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (at NYG)
CeeDee Lamb had a relatively quiet day last week considering Dak Prescott threw for nearly 400 yards. Lamb lost a fumble and at times looked out of sync with Prescott. Look for some positive regression from Lamb on Thursday night when Dallas will face the New York Giants. The Giants have played man coverage at the ninth-highest rate in the NFL through three weeks. Lamb has a massive 37.1-percent target share in man coverage. New York is also dealing with multiple injuries in their secondary, which should benefit Lamb even more. Dallas has yet to prove they can run the ball, so Lamb should be heavily involved, making him an elite WR1 this week.
|
|
13.
Brian Robinson Jr.
RB - WAS (at ARI)
Robinson Jr. is the RB18 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16.7 touches and 87.4 total yards. Last week with Austin Ekeler leaving with a concussion, he played a season-high 76% of the snaps. With Ekeler out, Robinson Jr. could get near bellcow usage in Week 4. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks tenth in explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt. He has shown well in limited opportunities as a receiver this season. Among 42 qualifying backs, he ranks 10th in YPRR and 19th in TPRR. Robinson will need the extra checkdowns this week as he faces a surprisingly tough Arizona run defense. The Cardinals have yielded the ninth-lowest explosive run rate, the 13th-lowest missed tackle rate, the 10th-lowest gap rushing success rate, and the sixth-lowest gap yards per carry (Robinson 51% gap).
|
|
14.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (at GB)
Justin Jefferson shook off a quad injury last week to post his third consecutive top-15 weekly finish to begin the year. Jefferson has scored in all three games this season and is a safe bet to score every time he takes the field. A matchup with Green Bay is next for Jefferson in Week 4. Jefferson torched the Packers for a 9-184-2 line in Kevin O'Connell's first game as Vikings head coach in 2022. O'Connell schemed Jefferson away from cornerback Jaire Alexander for much of that game. Green Bay has held Jefferson in check in two subsequent games. But Jefferson is too talented to hold down for very long. With quarterback Sam Darnold seemingly good to go after an injury scare last week, fantasy managers should value Jefferson as a high-end WR1 in Week 4.
|
|
15.
James Cook
RB - BUF (at BAL)
|
|
16.
David Montgomery
RB - DET (vs . SEA)
Montgomery has been solid again this season as the RB10 in fantasy points per game. He has averaged 19.7 touches and 95 total yards per game. Among 50 qualifying backs, he is 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 23rd in yards after contact per attempt. Seattle is a tough road for him to travel this week. They have really stepped up as a run defense with the fourth-highest stuff rate while allowing the ninth-lowest missed tackle rate and the 11th-lowest rushing success rate. Montgomery is a volume play this week.
|
|
17.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (vs . SEA)
Jahmyr Gibbs has been a bit of a Breece Hall-lite in terms of consistency and production. He has weekly finishes of RB16, RB16, and RB13. Gibbs should have another solid game in a potential Week 4 shootout with the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle has done well to limit running backs after the catch, holding them to four yards per reception. However, they have already allowed 16 catches out of the backfield, which is tied for sixth-most in the NFL. With Seattle clamping down on wide receivers to the tune of a league-low 237 total yards, expect Gibbs to be involved more in the passing game this week. This should boost him into RB1 territory in Week 4.
|
|
18.
Josh Jacobs
RB - GB (vs . MIN)
|
|
19.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (at CAR)
Ja'Marr Chase predictably smashed his Week 3 matchup with the Washington Commanders. Chase trailed only Jauan Jennings in fantasy points among receivers a week ago. He gets a great chance to build on that performance in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts, including five touchdowns. Carolina's recent installation of Andy Dalton at quarterback could help keep this game competitive, thereby increasing Chase's involvement. Chase has popped up on the injury report with a shoulder issue. But provided he does not experience a setback, he should be in for a big game on Sunday.
|
|
20.
Nico Collins
WR - HOU (vs . JAC)
Even in a game where Houston was thoroughly decimated, Nico Collins still posted a decent line with 86 receiving yards. I found it interesting that the Texans targeted Collins on three straight end zone plays at the end of the game, long after the team had pulled quarterback C.J. Stroud. Although it did not pan out in this particular instance, fantasy managers will never turn down garbage-time fantasy points. Collins matches up with the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, which is great for his fantasy outlook. No team plays man coverage at a higher clip than Jacksonville, and Collins is arguably the best wideout in the NFL against man. Since last year, Collins has averaged 4.32 yards per route man versus man coverage. Nico Collins could be in for a spike week in Week 4.
|
|
21.
Zack Moss
RB - CIN (at CAR)
Moss remains the Bengals' clear workhorse back, playing at least 65% of the snaps weekly, averaging 13.7 touches and 68.3 total yards. Last week, he absorbed 85% of the red zone snaps, so any worries about Chase Brown are a bit overblown. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 14th in explosive run rate, 26th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. Moss has another plus matchup this week against Carolina, who have allowed the fifth-most rushing yards per game, the sixth-highest success rate to gap runs (Moss 55% gap), and the sixth-lowest stuff rate.
|
|
22.
Rashee Rice
WR - KC (at LAC)
Rashee Rice set career-highs in receptions (12) and targets (14) in last week's victory in Atlanta. Expect another high-volume game from Rice in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Los Angeles plays zone coverage at the highest rate in the NFL. Rice has been one of the league's best zone beaters thus far this year. He has 13 receptions against zone coverage and is averaging 3.48 yards per route run against zone. This matchup should be ideal for Rice's skill set, making him a volume-based WR1.
|
|
23.
Najee Harris
RB - PIT (at IND)
Harris didnât practice on Wednesday, but he did log full practices on Thursday and Friday. He hasnât been listed with an injury designation for Week 4. Harris is the RB32 in fantasy points per game, averaging 20.6 touches and 79.7 total yards. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 33rd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 32nd in yards after contact per attempt. The matchup at first glance looks amazing for Harris against an Indy run defense that has allowed the 12th-highest explosive run rate and the most rushing yards per game, but when we dig deeper it looks like a trap. Indy opened with matchups against Green Bay and Houston, who both possess awesome run-blocking lines, which rank fourth-best and eighth-best in yards before contact per attempt. Last week against Chicago, Indy allowed only 63 rushing yards with zero explosive runs, a 14% missed tackle rate, and 1.79 yards after contact per attempt. Chicagoâs offensive line has the second-lowest yards before contact per attempt generated. This is eerily similar to Pittsburghâs offensive line, which has the sixth-lowest yards before contact per attempt manufactured. Harris, like Swift, hasnât been a top-shelf tackle-breaker this season. Harris could be the teamâs bell cow, but Cordarrelle Patterson could also work with Harris in a similar manner to what Jaylen Warren has weekly. This leaves Harris as a volume-driven RB2.
|
|
24.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - JAC (at HOU)
|
|
25.
Malik Nabers
WR - NYG (vs . DAL)
The fact that Malik Nabers leads all wide receivers in fantasy points three weeks into his NFL career despite being saddled with Daniel Jones at quarterback may be sufficient proof that aliens exist. Nabers has a 50 percent first-read rate, which is second only to Cooper Kupp in the NFL. Nabers has been less efficient versus zone coverage than versus man, which could be an issue in Week 4. The Dallas Cowboys play zone at the third-highest rate in the NFL. Still, volume will always be king in fantasy football, and no receiver has been targeted more than Nabers. That keeps him in WR1 consideration even under less-than-ideal conditions.
|
|
26.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (vs . SEA)
The Week 1 clunker from Amon-Ra St. Brown is officially in the rearview mirror. St. Brown posted a second straight top-15 fantasy performance last week, pacing the Lions with 75 receiving yards and scoring his first touchdown of the season. Detroit will now face a Seattle Seahawks defense that has held opposing wideouts in check through three weeks. Seattle has held opposing wide receivers to just 4.84 yards per target and 8.46 yards per reception. Both marks are the best in the NFL. St. Brown should still get enough volume to make him a must-start in fantasy, but this may not be a ceiling week for him.
|
|
27.
Chuba Hubbard
RB - CAR (vs . CIN)
Hubbard's role didn't change a bunch last week, as he still played 58% of the snaps, but he did roll up 26 touches and 169 total yards as the RB4 for the week. Among 50 qualifying backs, Hubbard ranks 31st in missed tackles forced per attempt and fifth in yards after contact per attempt. It's amazing what better quarterback play and a further commitment to running the ball can do for a running back, though. Expect Carolina to lean on him again this week against a Bengals' run defense that has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards per game, the sixth-highest missed tackle rate, and the 11th-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
28.
Marvin Harrison Jr.
WR - ARI (vs . WAS)
Marvin Harrison Jr. was targeted 11 times and scored his third touchdown of the season last week. He is the overall WR9 through three weeks despite being virtually ignored in Week 1. Harrison Jr. should have another productive outing in Week 4 versus the Washington Commanders. Washington has already given up nine touchdown receptions to opposing wide receivers. No other NFL team has allowed more than six. This game features two explosive offenses and has major shootout appeal. That makes Marvin Harrison Jr. an easy WR1 as long as his quad injury does not impact his availability.
|
|
29.
Tony Pollard
RB - TEN (at MIA)
The Titans abandoned the run last week against one of the best-rushing matchups on the board. Does it make any sense? No, but it happened. Pollard has played at least 61% of the snaps in every game this season while averaging 16.7 touches and 75 total yards. Among 50 qualifying backs, Pollard ranks 20th in explosive run rate and 18th in yards after contact per attempt. He remains the clear lead back for Tennessee with a 58% passing down snap share and an 81% snap rate in the red zone. Pollard has another easy route to fantasy success in Week 4 if the Titans decide to run the ball. Miami has allowed the fourth-highest rushing touchdown rate and missed tackle rate and the 12th-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
30.
Devin Singletary
RB - NYG (vs . DAL)
Singletary is the RB20 in fantasy, averaging 17 touches and 85 total yards. He has played at least 68% of the snaps in every game. Singletary has been his usual hyper-efficient self. Among 49 qualifying backs, Singletary ranks ninth in explosive run rate, tenth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and fourth in yards after contact per attempt. He has a wonderful matchup on the ground this week, and the Giants should lean on him. Dallas has surrendered the 12th-highest explosive run rate, the most rushing yards per game, and the 10th-highest yards after contact per attempt. Singletary could flirt with RB1 production this week.
|
|
31.
J.K. Dobbins
RB - LAC (vs . KC)
Dobbins has played at least 58% of the snaps in two of his three games this season, averaging 16.3 touches and 108 total yards. He is the RB14 in fantasy points per game. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks fourth in explosive run rate, sixth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 24th in yards after contact per attempt. The mauling offensive line that he has been running behind is battered, which will affect him in Week 4. Dobbins looks to have a tough Week 4 upcoming against a Chiefs' run defense that has held rushers in check with the seventh-lowest explosive run rate, the ninth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the eighth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
32.
DK Metcalf
WR - SEA (at DET)
DK Metcalf has finished inside the top 10 among wide receivers in fantasy points in back-to-back weeks. Metcalf may very well make it three in a row against Detroit's pass-funnel defense and beleaguered outside cornerbacks. Metcalf plays on the outside on 84 percent of offensive snaps. Considering Detroit plays man coverage at the fourth-highest rate in the league, that means plenty of matchups with Carlton Davis and Terrion Arnold should be on tap Arnold is allowing a 68 percent catch rate and 1.44 yards per route run, while Davis is serving up 2.00 YPRR and a 78 percent catch rate. This game has all the makings of another big day for DK.

WR - TB (vs . PHI)

Rhamondre Stevenson
RB - NE (at SF)

35.
Brandon Aiyuk
WR - SF (vs . NE)
Well, so much for Aiyuk week last week. Apparently, I was wrong, and that was just a weird way to spell Jauan Jennings week. The returns for Aiyuk haven't been there with his WR53 standing, but that doesn't mean that he has been bad on the field. Among 106 qualifying receivers, he ranks third in separation score and first in route win rate, so don't think about trading him away. If anything, now is a great time to get Aiyuk on your teams. This looks like another tough-on-paper matchup this week. Aiyuk has a 20% target share, a 21.7% air-yard share, 1.20 YPRR, and a 23.2% first-read share. The Patriots have featured the eighth-highest rate of two-high (50.4%). Against two high, Aiyuk has had a 16.4% target share, 0.95 YPRR, and a 21.6% first-read share. Also, add that Aiyuk will get shadow coverage from Christian Gonzalez this week, and it's a good week to fade Aiyuk. Gonzalez has followed Ja'Marr Chase, Garrett Wilson, and D.K. Metcalf this season on 84-90% of their routes, holding Chase and Wilson to 33 receiving yards or less.
|
|
36.
Chris Godwin
WR - TB (vs . PHI)
There has been an interesting dynamic in the passing game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers through three weeks. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has targeted Chris Godwin 31.6 percent of the time when facing man coverage compared to just 13.5 percent for Mike Evans. Time will tell if that holds throughout the year. But for now, Godwin is probably the better fantasy option among Buccaneers wideouts. Only Washington has allowed more touchdowns to wide receivers than Tampa Bay's Week 4 opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles. Godwin has been limited in practice this week with a neck injury. As long as he is cleared to play on Sunday, Godwin is a WR1 candidate in 12-team leagues.
|
|
37.
DJ Moore
WR - CHI (vs . LAR)
Moore is the WR29 with a struggling Caleb Williams. He has commanded a 23.7% target share, a 26.5% air-yard share, and a 28.9% first-read share with 1.33 YPRR. Despite his high-volume usage, Moore has only seen one end-zone target this season. Shane Waldron has utilized him as an underneath threat with only an 8.9 aDOT and 30% of his target volume coming via screen targets. This is a similar role that Waldron shoved Jaxon Smith-Njigba into last year. The good thing for Moore is that he should be able to make things happen after the catch this week against a Rams' defense that has allowed the most missed tackles in the NFL. Moore will run about 84% of his routes against Cobie Durant (58.3% catch rate and 74.3 passer rating) and Tre'Davious White (66.7% catch rate and 147.2 passer rating). The Rams have allowed the highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers this season.
|
|
38.
Garrett Wilson
WR - NYJ (vs . DEN)
It may be time to reconsider Garrett Wilson as a fantasy WR1, at least in the short term. He has yet to finish inside the top 24 in any of his first three games. And that may not change in Week 4. Wilson gets a matchup with the Denver Broncos, which could mean shadow coverage from Patrick Surtain II. Though Surtain has not graded out particularly well in coverage, outside wideouts DK Metcalf, George Pickens, and Mike Evans have combined for just 75 scoreless yards in their meetings with Denver. The Jets are prohibitive favorites in this game and should have an advantage in the running game against the Broncos. I would not advise benching Wilson, but I would temper expectations for this week.
|
|
39.
Jerome Ford
RB - CLE (at LV)
Ford regained his workhorse role for Cleveland last week. The problem is that he didn't do much with the role. He played 79% of the snaps with 13 touches and 70 total yards. Ford hasn't shown any of the tackle-breaking juice in 2024 that we saw last year. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 31st in explosive run rate, 29th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 26th in yards after contact per attempt. He couldn't take advantage of last week's cakewalk matchup with the Giants, so I don't know if he will this week against a porous Raiders' run defense. Las Vegas has allowed the 10th-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-most rushing yards per game, and the fifth-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
40.
Diontae Johnson
WR - CAR (vs . CIN)
Thank you, Andy Dalton. Last week was the version of Diontae Johnson that we thought we were getting this season. He finished the week as the WR6 in fantasy with a 35.1% target share, a 59.1% air-yard share, 3.49 YPRR, and a 44.8% first-read share. Look for Dalton to continue to feed his WR1 this week. Johnson leads the team with five end zone targets. Johnson will run about 80% of his routes against Cam Taylor-Britt (50% catch rate and 95.8 passer rating) and Dax Hill (73% catch rate and 124.4 passer rating). The Bengals have allowed the second-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Johnson missed Thursday's practice (groin), but he returned to practice on Friday (limited). He has been listed as questionable.
|
|
41.
Amari Cooper
WR - CLE (at LV)
Cooper finally bounced back, trouncing the Giants' secondary as the WR5 for the week despite only 58% of his targets being deemed as catchable. That one big game has elevated Cooper to WR35 for the season with an overall target share of 25%, a 45.9% air-yard share, 0.90 YPRR, and a 30.6% first-read share. Cooper has still only seen a catchable target rate of 58.6% this season. It's tough playing with Deshaun Watson as your quarterback these days. We'll see if Cooper can keep the good times rolling in Week 4 against a Raiders' secondary that has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Cooper will run about 77% of his routes against Jack Jones (69.2% catch rate and 126.0 passer rating) and Jakorian Bennett (38.5% catch rate and 55.6 passer rating).

Tyreek Hill
WR - MIA (vs . TEN)

43.
Drake London
WR - ATL (vs . NO)
London was essentially blanked in Week 1. In the two games after that, he has established himself as the team's WR1 with a 27.6% target share, a 34.7% air-yard share, 2.24 YPRR, and a 43.2% first-read share. Over the last two games, London has led the team with three end-zone targets. Over the last two weeks, the Saints have transitioned to more two high (eighth-highest rate of two high, 51.6%). Since Week 2, against two high, London has seen a 32.1% target share, a 41.9% air-yard share, and a 47.4% first-read share with 2.39 YPRR. He should lead the way this week against a tough Saints' secondary. New Orleans has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
44.
Stefon Diggs
WR - HOU (vs . JAC)
This is a get-right spot for the Houston passing attack. While Houston should be led this week by Nico Collins, Diggs should be the second in command. Diggs is the WR13 in fantasy points per game with a 21.4% target share, a 19.3% air-yard share (6.5 aDOT), 1.56 YPRR, and a 27% first-read share. Diggs is second on the team (behind only Nico Collins) in red zone targets. Jacksonville has the fourth-highest single-high rate in the NFL (64%). Against single-high, he leads the team with a 23.4% target share while ranking second with 1.77 YPRR and a 25.8% first-read share. Diggs will run about 64% of his routes against Christian Braswell (100% catch rate and 93.8 passer rating). Jacksonville has allowed the eighth-most receiving yards and the ninth-highest PPR points per target to slot receivers.
|
|
45.
Chris Olave
WR - NO (at ATL)
Olave is in real danger of missing Week 4. He sustained a hamstring injury during Fridayâs practice. If Olave is out, which is looking likely, I would begin exploring a backup plan for your lineups. Injuries sustained late in the week are tough for many players to overcome and still suit up. Olave is the WR29 in fantasy points per game, commanding a 21.5% target share, a 29.7% air-yard share, and a 26.1% first read-share while producing 3.12 YPRR. Among 94 qualifying receivers, Olave ranks third in separation and second in route win rate. He remains one of the best route runners in the NFL. Olave has the only end zone target among the wide receivers. The Falcons have the sixth-highest rate of single-high (60.7%). Olave leads the team with a 26.3% target share, 3.44 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share against single-high. Olave will run about 78% of his routes against A.J. Terrell (84.6% catch rate and 102.2 passer rating) and Mike Hughes (62.5% catch rate and 83.9 passer rating). Atlanta has allowed the ninth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
46.
Jayden Reed
WR - GB (vs . MIN)
Reed also could be heavily utilized this week. He has a 71% route share this season with a 20.6% target share, an 18.8% air-yard share, 3.52 YPRR, and a 23.1% first-read share (tied for the team lead). Dairybelt Deebo Samuel has retained his rushing usage this season, averaging 29.7 rushing yards per game. Minnesota has the highest two high rate in the NFL (77.9%). Green Bay has faced the lowest rate of two high this season (30.4%), so we are working with small samples for 2024. Looking back to 2023, Reed was first in TPRR (25%), second in YPRR (2.37), and third in first-read share (17.3%) against two high. Reed draws the best corner matchup for Green Bay, running about 84% of his routes against Byron Murphy (73% catch rate and 117.4 passer rating).

Rachaad White
RB - TB (vs . PHI)
Anyone who drafted White expecting a volume-driven RB1/2 has to be disappointed. White is the RB34 in fantasy points per game, averaging 14.3 touches and 54.7 total yards. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 32nd in explosive run rate and 45th in yards after contact per attempt. The Eagles' run defense has some polarizing stats this year so far. They have allowed the highest explosive run rate and have the 11th-lowest stuff rate, but they also have held tough with the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt and rushing success rate and the fifth-lowest rushing touchdown rate. While you could look at this as a good matchup for White, I'll be lower than consensus there as White hasn't been efficient, and he runs behind an offensive line that has the 14th-lowest yards before contact per attempt. It looks like another tough week for White, who has been listed as questionable for this week (illness).

Zay Flowers
WR - BAL (vs . BUF)
Flowers is the WR26 in fantasy with a 26.7% target share, a 28.0% air-yard share, 1.53 YPRR, and a 32.8% first-read share. He's still seeing a monster 33.3% designed target share as the team looks to get the ball in his hands as much as possible. After averaging 10.5 targets through the two games, Baltimore went away from all things passing last week, and Flowers only had four targets. Jackson only attempted 15 passes, so Flowers was still heavily involved. Flowers will stay active this week. The big determinant of his target volume will be how much Baltimore decides to chuck it versus the Bill's stout pass defense. This could be another week where Jackson doesn't throw the ball more than 20 times. Flowers will run about 66% of his routes against Christian Benford (38.5% catch rate and 14.6 passer rating) and Rasul Douglas (63.6% catch rate and 111.2 passer rating). Buffalo has allowed the fewest PPR points per target and receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
49.
George Pickens
WR - PIT (at IND)
Pickens should explode this week. He is the WR50 in fantasy points per game and is due for a huge game. He has a 24% target share, a 49.9% air-yard share, 2.41 YPRR, and a 31.4% first-read share. He's tied for the team lead with one end-zone target. Among 96 qualifying receivers, he ranks 10th in separation and route win rate. Indy has the 10th-highest rate of single-high (57.1%). Against single high, Pickens has seen his YPRR jump to 2.90 and his first-read share climb to 51.7%. These are bonkers numbers. Pickens will run about 75% of his routes against Jaylon Jones (64.7% catch rate and 55.6 passer rating), Dallis Flowers (100% catch rate and 104.2 passer rating), and Samuel Womack lll (100% catch rate and 131.3 passer rating). Indy has allowed the 11th-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Carson Steele
RB - KC (at LAC)
Steele was the clear lead back last week for Kansas City with a 64% snap rate, 77% of the rushing snaps, 55% of the passing down snaps, and 67% of the red zone snaps. He finished with 18 touches and 74 total yards as the RB36 for the week. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 24th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 22nd in yards after contact per attempt. Steele has a horrible matchup this week on the ground, so he'll need a touchdown to likely pay off this week. The Chargers have allowed the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-lowest missed tackle rate, the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the second-lowest rushing success rate.
|
|
51.
Rico Dowdle
RB - DAL (at NYG)
Dowdle led the Dallas backfield last week in snaps, routes, targets, and carries. Dallas utilized fullback Hunter Luepke more in the passing game, while Ezekiel Elliott became a distant memory. Dowdle played 46% of the snaps, rolling up 11 touches with 56 total yards. Dowdle led the group with a 60% snap rate on rushing plays and a 43% snap rate in the red zone. Dowdle is slowly taking over the backfield as Dallas realizes that Elliott has little to offer at this stage of his career. It's a small sample, but Dowdle hasn't been efficient with his early down work. Among 49 qualifying backs, he sadly ranks 46th in missed tackles forced per attempt, 32nd in yards after contact per attempt, and hasn't managed an explosive run yet. He still remains the best option among meh options for the team. This could be his breakout game of the season in Week 4 if the team commits to him finally. The Giants run defense is a magical elixir for backs, allowing the eighth-highest explosive run rate and the highest missed tackle rate and yards after contact in the NFL.

Jameson Williams
WR - DET (vs . SEA)

53.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (at CAR)
Higgins didn't look limited at all in his first game back. He had a 95% route share with a 15.8% target share, a 25.2% air-yard share, 1.00 YPRR, and a 26.1% first-read share. Higgins led the team with two end zone targets. Higgins will run about 88% of his routes against Jaycee Horn (62.5% catch rate and 88.0 passer rating) and Mike Jackson (66.7% catch rate and 86.3 passer rating). Carolina has allowed the third-highest PPR points per target and the seventh-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

54.
Terry McLaurin
WR - WAS (at ARI)
McLaurin is the only full-time wide receiver in the Washington offense. He has been the centerpiece of their passing attack with a 23.7% target share, a 51.2% air-yard share, 1.72 YPRR, and a 26.8% first-read share. He leads the team with five deep targets and two end-zone looks. McLaurin should feast this week while running about 79% of his routes against Sean Murphy-Bunting (85.7% catch rate and 100.0 passer rating) and Starling Thomas (55.6% catch rate and 110.9 passer rating). Arizona has allowed the sixth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

55.
Rashid Shaheed
WR - NO (at ATL)
Shaheed's fast start to the 2024 season came to a screeching halt last week as he failed to secure any of his five targets. It was a tough day overall for the Saints offense, with the exception of Chris Olave. Despite the tough week for Shaheed, he remains the WR27 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 21.5% target share, a 47.2% air-yard share, and a 28.3% first-read share with 3.02 YPRR. The Falcons have the sixth-highest rate of single-high (60.7%). Against single-high, Shaheed has a 21.1% target share, a 44.8% air-yard share, 2.41 YPRR, and a 25.9% first-read share. These are strong numbers. There are reasons to worry about Shaheed, though. The Falcons have had teams attempt the fourth-fewest deep passes against them with the 10th-lowest passer rating allowed to passes 20 yards or further downfield. Shaheed leads the team with six deep targets, which account for 43% of his target volume. Could he connect on a deep target and pay off? Yep. It's just tough to project with the sample size we have. If Olave misses this week, though, Shaheed's role should change as he will be thrust into Olave's WR1 chair. Olave's 12.1 aDOT is a far cry from Shaheed's (19.3 aDOT). 78.6% of Olave's targets have come within 19 yards of the line of scrimmage. Shaheed's outlook would change drastically as he would become a volume-driven WR2. Shaheed will run about 69% of his routes against A.J. Terrell (84.6% catch rate and 102.2 passer rating) and Mike Hughes (62.5% catch rate and 83.9 passer rating). Atlanta has allowed the ninth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

56.
Braelon Allen
RB - NYJ (vs . DEN)
Over the last two weeks, Allen has played 32-35% of the snaps, averaging 11.5 touches and 62 total yards. He has finished as the RB6 and RB30 in fantasy. Allen has had a consistent stand-alone role behind Breece Hall, with 36% of the rushing snaps, 32% of the passing down work, and a 27% red zone snap share. Allen has been impressive with this work. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks fifth in missed tackles forced per attempt and third in yards after contact per attempt. Allen offers strong flex appeal this week against a run defense that have given up the 10th-highest explosive run rate, the seventh-highest missed tackle rate, and the fifth-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
57.
Bucky Irving
RB - TB (vs . PHI)
Irving remains White's handcuff, although he is offering some stand-alone value. Over the last three games, he has played 31-35% of the snaps, averaging 10 touches and 60.6 total yards. It's a small sample for Irving, but he's the better rusher. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 14th in missed tackles forced per attempt and ninth in yards after contact per attempt. It's possible Irving eats into White's workload as we move through the season, but it hasn't happened yet. Last week, while he did play 56% of the rushing snaps, he still only had a 17% red zone snap rate. The Eagles' run defense has some polarizing stats this year so far. They have allowed the highest explosive run rate and have the 11th-lowest stuff rate, but they also have held tough with the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt and rushing success rate and the fifth-lowest rushing touchdown rate. This isn't a good enough matchup to consider Irving as anything more than desperation flex play.
|
|
58.
Cam Akers
RB - HOU (vs . JAC)
It looks like Akers will be the starting running back for Houston again in Week 4. Last week, the Akers played 43% of the snaps, with ten touches and 28 total yards. He saved his day with a receiving touchdown. He handled nearly all the rushing work (91% of the rushing play snaps) while conceding to Dare Ogunbowale on passing downs (35% of snaps vs. 48%) and in the red zone (25% of snaps vs. 75%). In his limited action, Akers has posted solid tackle-breaking metrics with a 25% missed tackle rate and 2.81 yards after contact per attempt. Akers likely needs a touchdown this week to pay off again because his rushing matchup is brutal. Jacksonville has held rushers to the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, the fourth-missed tackle rate, and the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt.

59.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at DET)
Will the real Smith-Njigba please stand up? His usage has been all over the map this season. Just when I thought it was safe to trust him in Week 2, his Week 3 usage mirrored Week 1. His weekly target shares have been 8%, 36.4%, and 8.8%. Seriously?! Overall, he has a 20.4% target share, 1.84 YPRR, a 21.2% first-read share, and a 27.6% air-yard share. Detroit has the eighth-highest single-high rate this year (60%). Smith-Njigba's usage has remained consistent with his overall numbers against single-high as he has remained the second on-paper option in the passing attack behind Metcalf in every category. Working in his favor is the fact that passing attacks have highly targeted the slot against Detroit. The Lions have defended the second-most targets to slot receivers and allowed the third-most receiving yards to the position. Smith-Njigba will run about 85% of his routes against Amik Robertson (50% catch rate and 72.9 passer rating).

60.
Zamir White
RB - LV (vs . CLE)
Well, last week effectively snuffed out the hope candle for White. Last week, in a smash matchup on the ground, White played his lowest snap count of the season (22%) with 10 carries for 34 yards. White played 71.4% of the rushing snaps but fell short in the passing game (8.9% of snaps) and in the red zone (25% of snaps). The Raiders have the eighth-most snaps when trailing this season, which is burying White's usage. He also has been disappointing as an early down hammer. Among 50 qualifying backs, he has ranked 42nd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 39th in yards after contact per attempt. It has been a tough scene, no matter how you analyze it. The Browns have been a tougher run defense this season, allowing the 12th-lowest explosive run rate, the 11th-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 13th-fewest rushing yards per game (tied). White is droppable at this point.
|
|
61.
Dallas Goedert
TE - PHI (at TB)
Dallas Goedert had the most productive game of his seven-year NFL career last week. While it is easy to say Goedert may not post 22 fantasy points anytime soon, we cannot completely dismiss Goedert's value. He leads all tight ends in fantasy points and is one of two at the position to score at least five points in all three weeks of the season. He also stands to benefit from the potential absences of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in Week 4. If either or both of Philadelphia's wide receivers miss their game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fantasy managers should lock Goedert in as a top-five option with week-winning upside.
|
|
62.
Brian Thomas Jr.
WR - JAC (at HOU)
Thomas Jr. has commanded a 17.5% target share, a 22.3% air-yard share, and a 20.9% first-read share with 2.22 YPRR as the WR33 in fantasy. If it's not a huge Kirk week, then Thomas Jr. should go off this week. Houston has utilized Cover 3 or Cover 4 on 56.7% of their defensive snaps. This season against Cover 3 and Cover 4, Thomas Jr. has had a 31% target share, a 37.6% air-yard share, 3.36 YPRR, and a 37.3% first-read share. It just depends on which receiver Jacksonville wants to lean on this week. It's also possible it's door #3, and both wideouts have banner days. Thomas Jr. will run about 80% of his routes against Derek Stingley Jr. (66.7% catch rate and 56.8 passer rating) and Kamara Lassiter (33.3% catch rate and 14.6 passer rating). The strength of this secondary is their outside corners, so I do lean that Kirk is the preferred WR1 this week.
|
|
63.
Khalil Shakir
WR - BUF (at BAL)
Shakir is the WR20 in fantasy points per game as the leading receiver for the Bills. He has a 19.2% target share, 2.95 YPRR, and a 22% first-read share while averaging 56 receiving yards per game. He should compete with Dalton Kincaid to lead the team in receiving stats again this week. Baltimore has the sixth-highest rate of two high this season (52.7%). Against two-high, Shakir has posted a strong 1.95 YPRR. Baltimore has been a slot funnel so far this season. They have allowed the 11th-highest PPR points per target and the fifth-most receiving yards to slot receivers. Shakir will run about 82% of his routes from the slot this week against Kyle Hamilton (88.8% catch rate and 148.1 passer rating).

64.
Rome Odunze
WR - CHI (vs . LAR)
With Allen likely back this week, Odunze will move back into a field stretching role, but that could pay off massively in Week 4. In Week 1, with Allen active, Odunze only had a 10.3% target share and a 10% first-read share. The Rams have utilized single-high on 55.8% of their defensive snaps this season. Over the last two weeks, against single-high, Odunze has only had a 10.2% target share, but his aDOT has been a massive 29.6. He leads the team with seven deep targets, which comprise 39% of his target volume this season. The good thing for Odunze is that the Rams have been the worst team in the NFL against deep passing. Los Angeles has allowed the most deep passing touchdowns (five), the highest passer rating on deep targets (154.4), and the highest deep completion rate. Odunze is a boom/bust proposition for Week 4, but the boom could be deafening. Odunze will run about 63% of his routes against Cobie Durant (58.3% catch rate and 74.3 passer rating) and TreâDavious White (66.7% catch rate and 147.2 passer rating).

65.
Jauan Jennings
WR - SF (vs . NE)
Last week, Jennings went crazy with a 40% target share, a 46.9% air-yard share, 5.15 YPRR, and a 42.9% first-read share. He finished with 11 receptions, 175 receiving yards, and three scores. He should have another productive week against the Patriots and their two high defense if Samuel is out. The Patriots have featured the eighth-highest rate of two-high (50.4%). Against two high, Jennings has a 23.6% target share, a 36.1% air-yard share, 3.61 YPRR, and a 24.3% first-read share. With Christian Gonzalez hanging with Brandon Aiyuk all day, Jennings should see Jonathan Jones (70% catch rate and 97.1 passer rating) for most of the game. If Samuel is back, Jennings will see his usage cut. If Samuel is out, Jennings is firmly on the WR3/flex radar.
|
|
66.
D'Andre Swift
RB - CHI (vs . LAR)
It's time to sound the panic bells and whistles. Last week, Swift played a season-low 53% of the snaps, accruing 15 touches while producing a middling 42 total yards. Swift led the way with a 56% snap rate on rushing plays, but Johnson cut into his passing down role (51% of snaps vs. 42% for Johnson). Swift was also a distant second among the backs in the red zone with a 29% snap rate (Johnson 47%). It's not hard to see why the Bears are looking to other backs for answers. Among 49 qualifying backs, Swift ranks 34th in explosive run rate, 42nd in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 49th in yards after contact per attempt. Swift has a good matchup on the ground again this week, but I highly doubt that he can take advantage of it. The Rams have the fourth-lowest stuff rate while allowing the 12th-highest yards after contact per attempt, the highest rushing success rate, and the third-most rushing yards per game.

67.
Brock Bowers
TE - LV (vs . CLE)
It speaks a bit to the state of the tight end position that Brock Bowers is the consensus TE1 three weeks into his NFL career despite not yet having scored a touchdown and playing alongside a quarterback who could be benched at any minute. But we cannot hold any of that against Bowers, who has seamlessly made the transition to the NFL by securing 18 of 21 targets for 197 yards. Bowers and Dallas Goedert are the only tight ends to finish inside the top 15 in all three weeks of the 2024 season. That level of production should be the bare minimum for Bowers in Week 4. The Cleveland Browns have been tough on tight ends to start the year. But Bowers' involvement and volume in the Las Vegas offense feel safe. That gives him a leg up on a vast majority of NFL tight ends.
|
|
68.
Christian Kirk
WR - JAC (at HOU)
The Jags finally woke up and realized it was a good thing to feature arguably their best wide receiver in Week 3. Last week, Kirk had a 21.7% target share, a 23.1% air-yard share, 2.03 YPRR, and a whopping 32.1% first-read share. It's not as if Kirk has been playing poorly. Among 106 qualifying wide receivers, he ranks 25th in separation. This could be another good week to feature Kirk. Houston has utilized Cover 3 or Cover 4 on 56.7% of their defensive snaps. Last year, Kirk led the team with 2.29 YPRR and ranked second with 0.47 fantasy points per route run against Cover 3 and Cover 4. Kirk will run about 86% of his routes against Jalen Pitre (83.3% catch rate and 87.8 passer rating). Houston has allowed the second-highest PPR points per target and the most receiving touchdowns (tied) to slot receivers.

69.
Calvin Ridley
WR - TEN (at MIA)
Ridley is the WR39 in fantasy points per game commanding a 17% target share, a 47.5% air-yard share, and a 23.4% first-read share with 1.56 YPRR. With the up and down play of Levis, Ridley has only had a 56.3% catchable target rate this season. It's made him incredibly volatile. Ridley has also not drawn an end zone or red zone target. This isn't a matchup that favors Ridley this week. Miami has the 10th-highest two high rate this season (48.8%). Against two high, Ridley has the fourth-highest TPRR (19%) on the team while he still ranks first in first-read share (20%).
|

70.
Jake Ferguson
TE - DAL (at NYG)
I speculated that Ferguson would be more limited last week in his return to the lineup, but he wasn't. He had a 73% route share with a 19.6% target share, 2.38 YPRR, and a 20.6% first-read share (tied for the team lead). Overall, Ferguson has a 19.3% target share, 1.93 YPRR, and an 18.6% first read share as the TE7 in fantasy. Ferguson should post another TE1-worthy stat line this week against a defense that has allowed the 10th-highest yards per reception and the 12th-most receiving yards per game to tight ends.
|
|
71.
Travis Kelce
TE - KC (at LAC)
Panic! Did someone say panic? It's getting close. If not time to press the panic button on the future Hall of Famer. Kelce's usage hasn't been the problem so much as his efficiency. He has handled a 69% route share which isn't great, but it's not damning either. The problem is he has only earned a 12% target share, an 18.8% air-yard share, and a 14.5% first-read share with 0.96 YPRR. These are run-of-the-mill replacement-level numbers in the tight-end world. No, I didn't think we'd be here, but it is what it is. I hope that Kelce can flip the switch at some point, but we have to consider that the switch might be superglued in the off position. It's unlikely to happen this week as the Bolts have held tight ends to the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game and the sixth-lowest yards per reception.
|
|
72.
Xavier Worthy
WR - KC (at LAC)
Worthy has remained a full-time player in the Chiefs' offense with a 67% route share, but he hasn't been utilized much as it has been Rashee Rice's world, and everyone else is just living in it. Worthy has had a 12% target share, a 27.6% air-yard share, 1.16 YPRR, and a 15.9% first-read share. The Bolts have the fifth-highest two-high rate this season (61.5%). Worthy's usage hasn't seen much of a bump against two-high outside of his first-read share, increasing slightly to 17.9%. Worthy will run about 68% of his routes against Asante Samuel Jr. (66.7% catch rate and 86.0 passer rating) and Kristian Fulton (60% catch rate and 64.6 passer rating). The Chargers are 18th in PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers.
|

73.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (at DET)
With Walker back this week, Charbonnet likely returns to close to the role that he had in Week 1. It could be slightly elevated with it being Walkerâs first game back but I wouldnât expect Charbonnet to lead the way this week. In Week 1, Charbonnet played 34% of the snaps with ten touches and 41 total yards. He played only 20% of the red zone snaps in Week 1. Sit Charbonnet this week. Detroit remains one of the best run defenses in the NFL, allowing the second-lowest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt and the sixth-lowest missed tackle rate.

74.
Darnell Mooney
WR - ATL (vs . NO)
Mooney is the WR35 in fantasy points per game. Over the last two weeks, he has had a 24.1% target share, a 32.0% air-yard share, 2.66 YPRR, and a 27.0% first-read share. He has been surpassing any expectations I had for him this season. It's been truly impressive. Over the last two weeks, the Saints have transitioned to more two high (eighth-highest rate of two high, 51.6%). Since Week 2, against two high, Mooney has had a 21.4% target share, 3.32 YPRR, and a 21.1% first-read share. Temper expectations for him this week against a stout New Orleans secondary. New Orleans has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
75.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - MIA (vs . TEN)
Waddle is a tough player to consider as more than a WR3/flex right now. He has only seen a 13% target share, a 14.8% air-yard share, and a 16.9% first-read share this season despite producing 2.15 YPRR. With his 7.5 aDOT, he is going to need a big play (or two) or a volume infusion to pay off, and that's tough to predict with Miami's quarterback situation right now. The Titans have the 12th-highest rate of two high (48.4%). Against two high, Waddle's target share has dipped to 11.9%, and his first-read share has fallen to 14.9%. In most leagues, I'm sitting Waddle this week. Tennessee has allowed the fourth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
76.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (at NYJ)
Only Sutton and Lil'Jordan Humphrey managed route shares of at least 52% last week with Denver. Sutton was at 69.2% (led the team). Sutton remains the target hog in this offense with a 23% target share, a 43.8% air-yard share, 1.32 YPRR, and a 29.1% first-read share. He leads the team with five end-zone targets. The problem for Sutton remains target quality. Only 57.7% of his targets have been deemed catchable. Sutton is a must-sit this week. He'll run about 82% of his routes against Sauce Gardner (70% catch rate and 137.9 passer rating) and D.J. Reed (60% catch rate and 77.1 passer rating). The Jets have allowed the seventh-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

77.
Michael Pittman Jr.
WR - IND (vs . PIT)
Last week, despite being banged up, Pittman played his usual role with a 73% route share, a 25% target share, a 26.4% air-yard share, and with a 26.7% first-read share. However, I will note that his first-read share was second on the team to Downs (33.3%). Downs played his usual slot role but had a 40% designed target rate and a 1.8 aDOT. Overall, this season, Pittman has a 27.4% target share, a 23.7% air-yard share, 1.29 YPRR, and a 30% first-read share. Downgrade Pittman this week as he'll get shadow coverage from Joey Porter Jr. (66.7% catch rate and 85.4 passer rating). Porter Jr. has shadowed in all three games this season (65-85% of routes), holding Drake London, Courtland Sutton, and Quentin Johnston all below 50 receiving yards.
|
|
78.
Kyle Pitts
TE - ATL (vs . NO)
In Week 3, Pitts saw his route share drop to 65% after he was sitting at 75% in the first two games of the season. I think Atlanta's new offensive coordinator is struggling with how and when to deploy Pitts, as we've seen his slot rate drop and his inline rate increase to 48-55% over the last two games. Overall, Pitts has an 11.9% target share, a 17.1% air-yard share, a 1.64 YPRR, and a frightening 7.4% first-read share. Pitts has been an afterthought in Cousins' progressions. The Pitts' hope is on life support right now. I'm hoping that a solid matchup against the Saints could help him rebound this week. New Orleans has allowed the fourth-most receptions, the third-most receiving yards, and the second-highest yards per reception to tight ends. If Pitts doesn't make it happen this week, he could be permanently parked on fantasy benches until he starts producing.

79.
DeAndre Hopkins
WR - TEN (at MIA)
Last week, Hopkins was a full-time player before the game got out of hand. He should be a full-time player again in Week 4. Hopkins should lead the way through the air for Tennessee this week. Miami has the 10th-highest two-high rate this season (48.8%). Against two high this season, Hopkins leads the team with a 27% TPRR and 2.13 YPRR. These numbers are eerily similar to last year's when he led the team against two high with a 25% TPRR and 2.23 YPRR. Miami has allowed the ninth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers this season.

Ladd McConkey
WR - LAC (vs . KC)
McConkey has been the Chargers' real WR1, but it just hasn't amounted to a ton of production. He has a team-leading 25.8% target share and 30.7% air-yard share with a 28.9% first-read share (second) producing 1.95 YPRR. McConkey is the WR53 in fantasy. Kansas City has the second-highest two-high rate in the NFL (68.5%). McConkey's numbers have slipped some against two high with only 1.05 YPRR and a 20% first-read share. He could get a small boost this week as teams have targeted the slot against Kansas City. The Chiefs have faced the third-most slot targets, allowing the fourth-most receptions and the 10th-most receiving yards to inside receivers.

Jerry Jeudy
WR - CLE (at LV)
Jeudy looked primed for a big day last week, but ultimately, it was a Cooper bounceback day that stole the show. Jeudy is the WR43 in fantasy points per game with a 17.2% target share, a 28.5% air-yard share, 1.05 YPRR, and an 18.8% first-read share. No receiving threat in the Cleveland offense will have sparkling efficiency numbers because the level of quarterback play has been so bad. I'm not attempting to excuse Jeudy here, but it's the truth. Watson is a backup-level quarterback at this juncture. The Raiders have the 10th-highest single-high rate in the NFL (57.1%). Against single-high, Jeudy's target share has dipped a tad to 16.4% while his first-read share has stayed consistent at 18.2%, so this coverage matchup does nothing to boost his Week 4 outlook as a meh-level flex play. The matchup is good, though, for what it's worth. The Raiders' secondary has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Jeudy will run about 63% of his routes against Jack Jones (69.2% catch rate and 126.0 passer rating) and Jakorian Bennett (38.5% catch rate and 55.6 passer rating).

Romeo Doubs
WR - GB (vs . MIN)
Doubs leads the team with a 76% route share while also handling a 17.6% target share, a 35% air-yard share, and a 23.1% first-read share (tied for the team lead) with 2.17 YPRR. Doubs is second on the team with two end zone targets. Minnesota has the highest two high rate in the NFL (77.9%). Green Bay has faced the lowest rate of two high this season (30.4%), so we are working with small samples for 2024. Looking back to 2023, Doubs was second on the team with a 16.9% target share, fifth in TPRR (22%), third in YPRR (1.70), and first in end zone targets and first-read share (21.5%). The Packers could go in a number of directions this week when designing an attack plan against this Vikings' secondary. Doubs will run about 90% of his routes against Stephon Gilmore (84.2% catch rate and 96.3 passer rating) and Shaquill Griffin (44.4% catch rate and 58.6 passer rating).

83.
Kenneth Walker III
RB - SEA (at DET)
Kenneth Walker is off the injury report and is back for Week 4. Sadly, Walker returns for a brutal matchup this week. Walker played 66% of the snaps in Week 1 with 22 touches and 109 total yards as the RB9 for the week. Among 50 qualifying backs, he is third in explosive run rate, eighth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. He could split more work with Charbonnet this week, which is not great, considering Walker will need all the volume he can get this week. Detroit remains one of the best-run defenses in the NFL, allowing the second-lowest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt and the sixth-lowest missed tackle rate. Walker likely needs a touchdown to pay off for fantasy this week.

84.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - LV (vs . CLE)
With Adams out, Meyers will be the Raidersâ WR1 this week. Meyers has a 15.3% target share, a 24% air-yard share, 1.45 YPRR, and an 18.2% first-read share. The Browns have the highest single high rate in the NFL (74.5%). Against single-high, Meyers has had a 24.1% target share, 1.75 YPRR, and a 27% first-read share. He gets a big boost in targets with Adams out and the single-high matchup this week. Meyers will run about 53% of his routes against Greg Newsome (58.3% catch rate and 91.0 passer rating). The Browns have allowed the sixth-lowest PPR points per target and the 12th-lowest passer rating to slot receivers.

85.
Javonte Williams
RB - DEN (at NYJ)
Last week Williams was third in line for rushing work with only 24% of the rushing play snaps while he saw a 60% snap share on passing plays. Williams also remained the team's preferred red zone back with a 73% snap rate inside the 20. Overall he played 51% of the snaps with nine touches and 41 total yards. Williams has been an inefficient rusher again this season. He has yet to break an explosive run and has only 1.83 yards after contact per attempt (42nd out of 50 qualifying backs) although I will also say that the Denver offensive line isn't doing any of these backs any favors. The Jets are a middle of the road matchup on the ground allowing the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, ranking 18th in stuff rate, and allowing the second-highest yards after contact per attempt. Williams is an uninspiring flex play.
|
|
86.
Tyler Lockett
WR - SEA (at DET)
Lockett has had two "usable" weeks this season for fantasy as the WR22 and WR48 in Weeks 1 & 3. Overall, he has a 14.6% target share, an 18% air-yard share, 1.68 YPRR, and an 18.2% first-read share. Detroit has the eighth-highest single-high rate this year (60%). Lockett has a 13.5% target share, 1.67 YPRR, and a 20.6% first-read share against single-high. My hope this week is that Smith-Njigba reasserts himself as the clear WR2 in this passing attack, but the target volume could easily flow in Lockett's direction after Metcalf gets his. This target pecking order has been tough to wrap my head around after Metcalf. Detroit has allowed the ninth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Lockett will run about 74% of his routes against Carlton Davis (78.3% catch rate and 136.2 passer rating) and Terrion Arnold (68.4% catch rate and 111.7 passer rating).
|

87.
Christian Watson
WR - GB (vs . MIN)
Watson has seen his route share cut as the Packers changed up personnel and groupings weekly with Malik Willis at the helm. Watson has had only a 55.7% route share with a 10.3% target share, a 21.7% air-yard share, 1.82 YPRR, and an 11.5% first-read share. He leads the team with three end zone targets. Minnesota has the highest two high rate in the NFL (77.9%). Green Bay has faced the lowest rate of two high this season (30.4%), so we are working with small samples for 2024. Looking back to 2023, Watson led the team with a 17.6% target share and seven end zone targets against two high while also ranking second in TPRR (24%) and first-read share (21.5%). Watson could lead the way against Minnesota if his 2023 usage holds. Watson will run about 66% of his routes against Stephon Gilmore (84.2% catch rate and 96.3 passer rating) and Shaquill Griffin (44.4% catch rate and 58.6 passer rating).

88.
Chase Brown
RB - CIN (at CAR)
Last week, it might look like Brown was more involved, but he still only played 24% of the snaps. He did manage nine touches and 69 total yards with his 15 offensive snaps, but he remains the clear RB2 on the depth chart. He only had a 37% snap rate on rushing plays, a 17.1% snap rate for passing plays, and 15% of the red zone snaps. Brown remains only a high-end handcuff.

Dalton Kincaid
TE - BUF (at BAL)
Dalton Kincaid found the end zone for the first time this season in Buffalo's blowout of Jacksonville last Monday night. Still, there is cause for a bit of concern with regard to Kincaid's weekly output. Kincaid enters Week 4 with a 15.1-percent target share. That is less than ideal for a tight end many considered to be a candidate to potentially lead the position in fantasy points this season. Week 4 should provide a better barometer for Kincaid's outlook. Buffalo faces the Baltimore Ravens this week. Baltimore has allowed the second-most receptions and receiving yards to opposing tight ends through the first three weeks of the season. This feels like a potential breakout week for Kincaid, so keep him in your starting lineup.

Demarcus Robinson
WR - LAR (at CHI)
Last week, Robinson led the Rams wide receivers in route share (89.7%) and air-yard share (42.1%) while drawing a 15.4% target and a 23.5% first-read share. Over the last two weeks, the Bears have moved toward more two high coverage with the seventh-highest rate in the NFL (54.1%). Against two high, Robinson has only seen a 16% TPRR with 0.93 YPRR. This isn't the week to look to Robinson as a flex play. Robinson will run about 67% of his routes against Jaylon Jonson (50% catch rate and 35.8 passer rating) and Tyrique Stevenson (59.1% catch rate and 78.6 passer rating). Chicago has allowed the ninth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
91.
Roschon Johnson
RB - CHI (vs . LAR)
The rumblings are that Johnson will be given an extended look this week after his cup of coffee in Week 3. Last week he played 37% of the snaps with 12 touches and 64 total yards. Johnson played 30% of the rushing play snaps, 42% of the passing down snaps, and he had the majority of red zone snaps (47%). He posted some nice tackle-breaking numbers in the small sample size (25% missed tackle rate and 2.88 yards after contact per attempt). Johnson is a flex play that could post RB2 numbers in Week 4. The Rams have the fourth-lowest stuff rate while allowing the 12th-highest yards after contact per attempt, the highest rushing success rate, and the third-most rushing yards per game.
|
|
92.
Michael Wilson
WR - ARI (vs . WAS)
Wilson is coming off easily his best game of the season, but this isn't the week to chase last week's nine targets, eight receptions, and 64 receiving yards boxscore. Washington has the fourth-highest rate of two high in the NFL (62.9%). Against two high, Wilson has only a 14.3% target share, 1.48 YPRR, and a 17.1% first-read share. Sit Wilson this week.
|
|
93.
Tyjae Spears
RB - TEN (at MIA)
Spears remains a handcuff only. He played 37% of the snaps last week with six touches and 61 total yards. Much of that production (54 yards) came via the passing game. It's more a fluke than signal, though, as Spears played only 34% of the passing downs and saw only four targets. Hold him on benches this week.
|
|
94.
Brandin Cooks
WR - DAL (at NYG)
Cooks looks like he has lost his grip on the third-receiving option role in the Dallas offense. Through three games, he has a 12% target share, only 0.71 YPRR, and a 15.3% first-read share. While his per-route metrics remain good, he's simply not drawing targets. Among 73 qualifying receivers, he ranks 20th in separation and 27th in route win rate. The Giants have the seventh-highest single-high rate (60.4%). Since Week 2, against single high, Cooks has had only a 12.2% target share (fourth on the team), 0.73 YPRR, and a 15% first-read share (fourth on Dallas). The matchup this week is wonderful, so if you're in a pickle and need a desperation flex play, I get it, but in most instances, Cooks should be parked on the bench. The Giants have allowed the fifth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

95.
Wan'Dale Robinson
WR - NYG (vs . DAL)
Robinson has seen weekly target shares of 28.5%, 14.2%, and 23.5% this season as the WR35 in fantasy points per game. Overall, Robinson has a 21.5% target share, 1.50 YPRR, and a 23.9% first-read share. He has been the team's underneath weapon with his 4.3 aDOT. Daniel Jones could be under fire all game if Dallas's pass rush gets home. When Jones has been under duress, Robinson has seen an 18.6% target share and a 20% first-read share. He'll run about 79% of his routes against Jourdan Lewis (62.5% catch rate and 68.2 passer rating).
|
|
96.
Gabe Davis
WR - JAC (at HOU)
This isn't the week to consider playing Gabriel Davis. Davis is the WR74 in fantasy points per game with a 16.5% target share, a 24.7% air-yard share, 1.40 YPRR, and a 17.9% first-read share. Houston has utilized Cover 3 or Cover 4 on 56.7% of their defensive snaps. This season against Cover 3 and Cover 4, Davis has a 9.5% target share, 1.02 YPRR, and a measly 9.7% first-read share. Sit Davis.
|
|
97.
Ezekiel Elliott
RB - DAL (at NYG)
Elliott is droppable. Dallas has finally realized that Elliott has little to offer an NFL offense at this juncture of his career. Last week, he played only 19% of the snaps, with four touches and 12 total yards. Don't be surprised if Dallas parts ways with him in the coming weeks.

Ty Chandler
RB - MIN (at GB)

99.
Quentin Johnston
WR - LAC (vs . KC)
Johnston has run hot with big plays and touchdowns this season propelling him to WR21 in fantasy points per game. Johnston has earned a 19.7% target share (4.3 targets per game), a 29.2% air-yard share, 2.15 YPRR, and a 31.6% first-read share (leads the team). He has 75% of the team's receiving touchdown production. Kansas City has the second-highest two-high rate in the NFL (68.5%). Against two high, Johnston has seen his target share slip to 12.5% while his first-read share remains at 30%. We'll see if he can keep this highwire act up again in Week 4 against a pass defense that has allowed the 13th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Johnston will run about 93% of his routes against Jaylen Watson (66.7% catch rate and 96.3 passer rating) and Trent McDuffie (55.6% catch rate and 77.5 passer rating).

100.
Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (vs . BUF)
WHAT ARE WE DOING BALTIMORE? Seriously. Last week, Andrews had only a 23.5% route share and one target. I understand they wanted to go run-heavy, but when arguably your best-receiving threat is fifth in route share, there's a big problem here. So what do we do with Andrews for fantasy? Unfortunately, most people don't have better starting options at tight end, and the entire position is a wasteland, so if you have to start him, I get it. In the previous two games, Andrews at least had a 69% route share, but he still only managed a 9.3% target share, 1.05 YPRR, a 13.3% first-read share, and 6.3 fantasy points per game. None of this is good. Now, Andrews faces a Bills defense that has yielded the fifth-lowest yards per reception to tight ends and ranks 18th in receiving yards per game allowed despite facing the third-most tight end targets per game. Andrews is benchable. It just depends on who your options are.
|
|
101.
George Kittle
TE - SF (vs . NE)
Kittle managed a limited practice on Wednesday (hamstring). Considering he sustained the injury late last week, I doubt he will play in Week 4, but I'll update his outlook on Friday.
|
|
102.
Allen Lazard
WR - NYJ (vs . DEN)
Lazard has been a happy surprise with Rodgers back. He is the WR18 in fantasy with a 17% target share, a 26.9% air-yard share, 1.80 YPRR, and a 19.7% first-read share. Lazard is tied for the team lead with five red zone targets. With Garrett Wilson likely getting shadowed by Patrick Surtain, Lazard could see more targets this week. Denver has the fifth-highest rate of single high this season (61.7%). Lazard's market share is relatively unchanged against single-high, but his YPRR has climbed to 2.19. If Surtain is following Wilson around all day, Lazard likely matches up with Riley Moss (75% catch rate and 111.5 passer rating) for most of the game. He's a strong flex play again this week.

|
103.
Tutu Atwell
WR - LAR (at CHI)
Last week, Atwell had the second-highest route share among the Rams wide receivers while drawing a 19.2% target share, a 30.8% air-yard share, and a 29.4% first-read share. He produced a sparkling 3.72 YPRR. Over the last two weeks, the Bears have moved toward more two high coverage with the seventh-highest rate in the NFL (54.1%). Against two high, Atwell has had a 21% TPRR and 3.63 YPRR in a small sample. If you're looking to flex a Rams wide receiver this week, it's Atwell. Atwell will run about 64% of his routes against Jaylon Jonson (50% catch rate and 35.8 passer rating) and Tyrique Stevenson (59.1% catch rate and 78.6 passer rating). Chicago has allowed the ninth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Atwell should lead the way for the Rams receivers this week.
|
|
104.
Andrei Iosivas
WR - CIN (at CAR)
Iosivas saw a big uptick in his effectiveness in Week 3. Yes, partially, this was due to facing the Commanders' secondary, but also, it was related to him finally playing the slot role that we were promised this season with the return of Tee Higgins. Iosivas had an 18.4% target share, 1.68 YPRR, and a 13% first-read share. He was a distant third option in the passing attack, fighting with Mike Gesicki (13% first-read share) for first-read targets. Iosivas will run about 84% of his routes against Troy Hill (80% catch rate and 80.0 passer rating). Carolina ranks 17th in PPR points per target allowed to slot receivers.

Alexander Mattison

106.
Greg Dortch
WR - ARI (vs . WAS)
Dortch has been relatively quiet over the last two weeks after his eight targets, six receptions, and 47 receiving yards in Week 1. The target volume should move in his direction this week. Washington has the fourth-highest rate of two high in the NFL (62.9%). Against two high, Dortch has a 20.4% target share, 2.03 YPRR, a sterling 0.132 FD/RR, and a 17.1% first-read share. Dortch will run about 63% of his routes against Noah Igbinoghene (58.3% catch rate and 95.1 passer rating). Washington has allowed the seventh-most receiving yards and the fifth-highest PPR points per target to slot receivers.

108.
Sam LaPorta
TE - DET (vs . SEA)
Sam LaPorta left last week's game due to an ankle injury. Tests have revealed a low-ankle sprain, which is relatively good news. LaPorta gets a good matchup for tight ends in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle served up Hunter Henry's eight-catch, 109-yard outburst in Week 2. That would portend good things for LaPorta if he is cleared. But therein lies a potential dilemma for fantasy managers. The Lions and Seahawks play on Monday night. If LaPorta's status is unclear heading into the weekend, fantasy managers will need a contingency plan. But if we get good news between now and the weekend, fire up LaPorta as a high-upside TE1.

Alec Pierce
WR - IND (vs . PIT)
Last week, with the return of Downs to the lineup, Pierce retained his full-time outside receiver role with a 77% route share as Adonai Mitchell was sent to the bench. This season, Pierce has been the team's field stretcher with a 17.8% target share, a 38.4% air-yard share (25.2 aDOT), 3.36 YPRR, and an 18% first-read share. This isn't a week to start Pierce or get excited about his outlook. Pittsburgh has allowed only one of seven deep attempts to be completed this season and have allowed the third-lowest CPOE to targets downfield. Sit Pierce this week. He will see Donte Jackson (54.5% catch rate and 38.1 passer rating) in coverage for most of the day.
|
|
112.
Pat Freiermuth
TE - PIT (at IND)
Freiermuth is the TE14, with a 17.2% target share and 17.6% first-read share with 1.48 YPRR. Among 33 qualifying tight ends, he ranks fourth in separation and third in route win rate. He is a locked-in TE1 this week. Indy has the 10th-highest rate of single-high (57.1%). Against single high, Freiermuth has a 22.5% target share, 2.0 YPRR, and a 20.7% target share. Indy has allowed the 11th-most receiving yards and the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

113.
Cole Kmet
TE - CHI (vs . LAR)
Last week, Kmet had a 58% route share (finally seeing more routes than Gerald Everett) while drawing a 21.2% target share, a 20.6% first read share, and producing 2.94 YPRR with 97 receiving yards. He should be a prominent target again this week for Williams against a vulnerable Rams defense. Los Angeles has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game and the fourth-most receiving yards to tight ends. Fire up Kmet as a TE1 this week.
|
|
114.
Jalen Nailor
WR - MIN (at GB)
Nailor has been on fire as the WR33 in fantasy. He has made the most of his opportunities. He has only drawn an 11.5% target share, a 23% air-yard share, and a 14.6% first-read share, but heâs produced 0.106 FD/RR. He also converted three of his team-leading four end zone targets with scores. Green Bay has the 12th-highest single-high rate (56.7%). Against single-high, Nailor has a 17.5% target share, 2.0 YPRR, and a 20% first-read share. Weâll see if he can keep riding the lightning in Week 4, but Addisonâs return will impact Nailor who is bumped down a peg this week in the target pecking order.
|
|
115.
Keon Coleman
WR - BUF (at BAL)
Coleman's usage has been all over the map this season. Last week, he only had a 31.4% route share, as we learned after the game that it was punishment for showing up to meetings late. We'll see if Coleman sets his alarm clock this week, but it's impossible to feel good about starting him in Week 4. It's possible the rookie remains on the coaching staff's bad side for Week 4 and has to earn playing time back.
|
|
116.
Isaiah Likely
TE - BAL (vs . BUF)
Remember when people were dropping half their FAAB for Likely after Week 1? Fun times, right? Since Week 2, Likely has had a 40% route share, an 8.2% target share, 1.36 YPRR, and an 8.6% first-read share. Yeah, none of these equal a startable tight end for fantasy purposes. Now add in that Buffalo has shut down tight ends and Likely should be parked on benches this week. The Bills defense has yielded the fifth-lowest yards per reception to tight ends and ranks 18th in receiving yards per game allowed despite facing the third-most tight end targets per game.
|
|
117.
Samaje Perine
RB - KC (at LAC)
Last week, Perine played only 38% of the snaps with nine touches, 40 total yards, and a 33% red zone snap rate. With a horrible matchup on the ground this week for the Chiefs and Perine looking like the clear RB2 on this depth chart, he's not startable. The Chargers have allowed the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-lowest missed tackle rate, the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the second-lowest rushing success rate. Perine is even droppable depending upon your waiver wire options, as Kareem Hunt could eventually eat into Perine's role.
|
|
118.
Dalton Schultz
TE - HOU (vs . JAC)
Schultz has become a distant memory in this passing attack. He has a 9.8% target share, 0.51 YPRR, and a 9.5% first-read share. Schultz doesn't have an end zone or red zone target this season. Schultz is droppable at this point. Jacksonville has allowed the sixth-fewest receiving yards to tight ends this season.

Mike Williams

Last week, Williams had only a 50% route share with an 11.4% target share, a 19.4% air-yard share, 1.70 YPRR, and a 19% first-read share. Williams remains a stash that needs his snap share and usage to bump up just a tad more before we start having the conversation about him being a viable fantasy option weekly.

121.
Antonio Gibson
RB - NE (at SF)

|
122.
Jalen Tolbert
WR - DAL (at NYG)
Tolbert has been a solid fantasy receiver over the last two games with a 14% target share, a 26.3% air-yard share, 1.49 YPRR, and a 18.3% first-read share. Over that span, he has averaged 62 receiving yards and 13.7 fantasy points per game. The Giants have the seventh-highest single-high rate (60.4%). Since Week 2, Tolbert has been the team's second option against single high with a 16.3% target share and a 17.5% first read share. He has posted a solid 2.33 YPRR against single-high in this small sample. Expect Tolbert to have another solid showing in Week 4. The Giants have allowed the fifth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
123.
Rashod Bateman
WR - BAL (vs . BUF)
Bateman should remain parked on your bench this week. His 10.9% target share and 27 receiving yards per game are tough enough to talk yourself into weekly, even if we don't factor in the brutal pass-defense matchup this week. Buffalo has allowed the fewest PPR points per target and receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Jackson might not throw the ball more than 18-20 times this week.

Tyler Allgeier
RB - ATL (vs . NO)

DeMario Douglas
WR - NE (at SF)
Last week, Douglas was the only Patriots wide receiver to sniff more than a 70% route share. He was their passing attack with a 34.6% target share, a 30.5% air-yard share, 2.46 YPRR, and a 45% first-read share. He finished as the WR26 in fantasy. This week, he should post another flex-worth performance running about 82% of his routes against Deommodore Lenoir (66.7% catch rate and 81.3 passer rating). The 49ers have allowed the most receiving yards and the highest PPR points per target to opposing slot receivers this season.

126.
Jaleel McLaughlin
RB - DEN (at NYJ)
Sadly, McLaughlin has seen his snap rate drop each week from 35% in Week 1 to 26% in Week 3. McLaughlin is close to droppable at this point, but let's get this straight. Sean Payton is scrambling to formulate some type of productive running game and he's failing. The Denver offensive line is the problem not McLaughlin. Denver has the fifth-lowest yards before contact per attempt. McLaughlin has been running into brick walls, but he's been easily the best tackle breaking back on the team. Among 50 qualifying backs, McLaughlin ranks 16th in explosive run rate, first in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 25th in yards after contact per attempt. McLaughlin has seen -0.28 yards before contact per attempt on his carries. That is insane. Until Payton wakes up, McLaughlin isn't playable.

Josh Downs
WR - IND (vs . PIT)
In Downs' first action of the season, he had a 73% route share, a 25% target share, only a 1.8 aDOT, and a 40% designed target rate. He was the underneath receiver as he ran all of his routes from the slot. Downs will tangle with Beanie Bishop (82% catch rate and 133.3 passer rating) all day. This isn't a week to get excited about Downs, as the Steelers have allowed the 11th-lowest PPR points per target and the 10th-fewest receiving yards per game to opposing slot receivers.

Mike Gesicki
TE - CIN (at CAR)
Over the last two games, Gesicki has been the TE6 in fantasy points per game, earning an 18.9% target share, with a 52% route share, 3.21 YPRR, and a 22.9% first-read share. Now, Gesicki did see his first-read share fall to 13% last week with Higgins back in the lineup, but he maintained a 51.2% route share with a 13.2% target share. He could see those target share numbers swing back in his direction this week against a Carolina Panthers defense that has allowed the eight-most receiving yard and the second-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Cordarrelle Patterson
RB - PIT (at IND)

Zach Ertz
TE - WAS (at ARI)
Ertz is the TE11 in fantasy points per game with a 70% route share, a 17.1% target share, 1.80 YPRR, and a 19.6% first-read share (second to only Terry McLaurin). Among 42 qualifying tight ends, he is 11th in separation and sixth in route win rate. These are all crazy stats, I know, considering our thoughts regarding Ertz in the offseason. Ertz should produce TE1 numbers again in Week 4 against an Arizona defense that has faced the seventh-fewest tight end targets but has relinquished the highest yards per reception to the position.

Tyrone Tracy Jr.
RB - NYG (vs . DAL)
|
|
132.
Colby Parkinson
TE - LAR (at CHI)
Parkinson again finds himself in the low-end streaming area code of tight ends this week. He has been the clear full-time guy for the Rams with an 83% route share, but he hasn't drawn much volume with only an 11.8% target share, 0.86 YPRR, and a 10.8% first-read share. The Bears are a favorable matchup for tight ends. They have faced the sixth-fewest targets to the position per game, but they have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game and the eighth-highest yards per reception.
|
|
133.
Hunter Henry
TE - NE (at SF)
The Patriots continue to screw around with the personnel usage. After Henry went off in Week 2, the Patriots decided to cut his route share as he fell to 57.1% with only an 11.5% target share, 0.45 YPRR, and a 10% first-read share. Until the Patriots decide to commit to using their best players weekly, it's tough to trust Henry. The 49ers have also been tough against tight ends, so it's an easy matchup to cross Henry off your streamer board. San Francisco has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game and the fourth-fewest receiving yards to tight ends.
|
|
134.
Gus Edwards
RB - LAC (vs . KC)
Edwards saw his snap share fall to 35% last week with only three carries for nine yards. This week's state line might not be too much better. This is Dobbins' backfield and we could see Kimani Vidal start to eat into Edwards' workload in the coming weeks. Edwards is droppable.
|
|
135.
Jordan Addison
WR - MIN (at GB)
Addison practiced in a limited fashion (ankle) all week before upgrading to a full session on Friday. He has been listed without an injury designation for Week 4. In Week 1, Addison had a 28.6% target share, a 42.0% air-yard share, 2.50 YPRR, and a 28.6% first-read share before leaving with injury. Green Bay has the 12th-highest rate of single-high (56.7%). Last year, against single-high, Addison had a 15.3% target share, only 1.26 YPRR, and an 18.7% first-read share. These arenât amazing numbers. I expect Jefferson to swallow up targets this week. Addison will run about 55% of his routes this week against Jaire Alexander (62.5% catch rate and 79.9 passer rating) and Eric Stokes (72.7% catch rate and 118.0 passer rating). Thatâs if Alexander plays as he is banged up. If he canât go, then Carrington Valentine (career: 56% catch rate and 80.7 passer rating) will take his spot in the starting lineup.
|
|
136.
Tyler Johnson
WR - LAR (at CHI)
Johnson might not be droppable yet, but there's no way anyone can feel good about starting him in Week 4. Last week, he split the WR3 role with Jordan Whittington. Johnson had only a 45% route share and a 15.4% target share. Sit Johnson this week. We have to see his route share increase, or he will be droppable.

D'Onta Foreman

Tyler Conklin
TE - NYJ (vs . DEN)
Last week, Conklin popped off with 93 receiving yards, a 17.1% target share, a 32.8% air-yard share, and 2.91 YPRR as the TE4 for the week. We have a long history of Conklin being a middling TE2, so you can miss me with any breakout talk. The best stat from that game that speaks to the flukey nature of that usage is his 4.8% first-read share. Conklin wasn't getting priority usage in this offense. It was Rodgers surveying the field and finding Conklin as a tertiary option in the passing attack. Don't forget Conklin had only two receptions and 16 receiving yards combined from the first two games of this season. Denver has held tight ends to the seventh-lowest yards per reception and the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game.

Noah Fant
TE - SEA (at DET)
Fant hasn't done much this season. He has a 66% route share with a 12.6% target share, 1.15 YPRR, and a 16.7% first-read share. He did finish with a season-high six grabs and 60 receiving yards last week, so there's hope he continues that this week. The Lions have defended the 11th-fewest targets per game to tight ends, but they have allowed the 12th-highest yards per reception to the position.
|
|
144.
Tre Tucker
WR - LV (vs . CLE)
|
|
145.
Tucker Kraft
TE - GB (vs . MIN)
Kraft remains Green Bay's starting tight end. Last week, he got dinged up in the game, so his route share dropped to 40%, but he still led Luke Musgrave (36%). Overall, this season, Kraft has had a 50% route share with an 11.8% target share, 1.93 YPRR, and a 7.7% first-read share. The volume and first-read share are problems, but the matchup is pretty good for Kraft. Minnesota has allowed the 13th-highest yards per reception and the eighth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. Kraft is a low-end matchup-based streamer this week.
|
|
146.
Cade Otton
TE - TB (vs . PHI)
Last week, with Patrick Surtain following Mike Evans on half of his routes, Otton saw a bump in work. He had a 24% target share, 1.62 YPRR, and a 29.4% first-read share. I don't think that holds into Week 4. Otton likely returns to the role he saw in the first two games of the season when he only had an 8.2% target share, 0.11 YPRR, and a 10.5% first-read share. Philly has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game and the fourth-fewest receiving yards to tight ends.

Noah Brown
WR - WAS (at ARI)
|
|
148.
Keenan Allen
WR - CHI (vs . LAR)
Allen was limited in practice all week before upgrading to a full practice on Friday (heel). He has been listed as questionable, but I think he returns this week. In Week 1, Allen had a 27.6% target share, a 42.2% air-yard share, 1.26 YPRR, and a 35% first-read share. The Rams have utilized single-high on 55.8% of their defensive snaps. Last year, against single-high, Allen had a 32% TPRR and 2.62 YPRR. Allen will run about 64% of his routes this week against Quentin Lake (69.2% catch rate and 111.9 passer rating). The Rams have allowed the tenth-highest PPR points per target to opposing slot receivers.
|
|
149.
Taysom Hill
QB,TE - NO (at ATL)
Hill is your weekly gamble at tight end. This bet doesn't feel as good as it did last year, though. He has played 32-47% of the snaps weekly, averaging only five touches and 27.5 total yards. Hill hasn't seen a red zone target or rushing attempt yet. He missed last week's game with a chest injury.
|
|
150.
Curtis Samuel
WR - BUF (at BAL)
Samuel has yet to see a full-time workload in this offense. Last week, he had only a 25.7% route share and a 9.7% target share. He is droppable until this changes.

Ja'Lynn Polk

Luke McCaffrey
WR - WAS (at ARI)
McCaffrey is droppable at this point. Last week, he only had a 30% route share despite having a 13.6% target share. He also only saw a 6.3% first-read share. This isn't nearly enough volume or playing time to consider holding him on a roster.

Khalil Herbert

Jonnu Smith
TE - MIA (vs . TEN)
Last week, Smith's route share tumbled to 28%. He only drew a 9.4% target share with 1.64 YPRR. This isn't enough volume or playing time to be fantasy-relevant for Week 4.
|
|
157.
Ray Davis
RB - BUF (at BAL)
|
|
158.
Brenton Strange
TE - JAC (at HOU)
Strange will be the Jags starting tight end in Week 4. Over the last two games, he has been the TE11 in fantasy with a 15.8% target share, 1.43 YPRR, and a 17.6% first-read share. That type of usage is great, but this isn't a matchup to consider streaming him. Houston has allowed the fewest yards per reception and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Darius Slayton
WR - NYG (vs . DAL)
|

Tyler Badie
RB - DEN (at NYJ)
Badie isn't worth picking up or playing in Week 4. He played only 13 snaps last week, registering nine carries and 70 rushing yards. He ripped off 43 of those yards with one play. His profile doesn't look inspiring when you pop the hood with only a 10% missed tackle rate and 2.3 yards before contact per attempt. Basically, the Denver offensive line managed to give him some creases, but we have seen a larger sample of this offensive line being well below average, so we should expect that to come back to earth.

Jordan Akins
TE - CLE (at LV)
|
|
163.
Chig Okonkwo

Whittington split the WR3 role with Tyler Johnson in Week 3. He had only a 35% route share and an 11.5% target share. He's a must-sit this week, and if his role doesn't increase in Week 4, he's droppable.

Palmer will be back this week. In Week 1, Palmer had a 15.4% target share, a 25.3% air-yard share, 0.56 YPRR, and an 8.3% first-read share. Kansas City has the second-highest two-high rate (68.5%) this season. Last year against two high, Palmer had a 17% TPRR, 1.57 YPRR, and a 21.5% first-read share. None of these metrics scream, âGet me into a fantasy lineup.â Sit Palmer this week.

Mostert is pushing to play, but Miami doesnât want him to have a setback. If he does play, I expect him to be limited this week. The matchup is nice this week, but itâs tough to project his workload. Tennessee has allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate, the 12th-most rushing yards per game, and the eighth-lowest stuff rate. If you are struggling for a flex play this week, I get it, but in most formats, Iâm sitting Mostert.

McMillan isn't startable. He has only managed a 7.3% target share and a 22.7% air-yard share. He hasn't earned more than three targets or finished with more than 32 receiving yards in any game. Last week, with Evans shadowed by Patrick Surtain, instead of volume moving in the direction of McMillan, it went to Cade Otton.

Deebo Samuel Sr.
WR - SF (vs . NE)
Samuel might be back this week. He didnât practice on Wednesday but he did manage limited practices on Thursday and Friday (calf). If heâs ready to roll, he should be highly utilized this week. Samuel is the WR9 in fantasy, commanding a 29.2% target share, a 32.5% air-yard share, with 2.52 YPRR, and a 29.2% first-read share. Samuel is tied for third on the team with two red zone targets. The Patriots have featured the eighth-highest rate of two-high (50.4%). Against two high, he leads the team with a 30% TPRR, 3.0 YPRR, and a 28.6% first-read share. With Christian Gonzalez hanging with Brandon Aiyuk all day, Samuel should see Jonathan Jones (70% catch rate and 97.1 passer rating) for most of the game.
