NFL Week 4 Fantasy Football Rankings - The Blueprint

Sep 27th 2024Hayden Winks

Expect Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings updates through Sunday morning when we're live on YouTube. We're posting more videos than ever on our channel, which means less writing for me this year. Instead of writing up every single player, I'll focus on the guys worth writing about. You can watch my takes on all players every week on YouTube. You guys support me 500x more on that platform than as a writer, and I have to skate to where the puck is. I hope you guys understand.

Week 3 Fantasy Football Recap Notes

Week 4 RB Rankings

  1. Saquon Barkley

    • Eagles have the 7th-highest team total.

    • The Bucs have allowed the 5th-most half PPR points to RBs. They've been without NT Vita Vea and DT Calijah Kancey up front.

  2. Breece Hall - 97.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Jets are 7.5-point home favorites vs. the Broncos.

    • Broncos LB Alex Singleton tore his ACL and LB Baron Browning is on IR already.

    • Braelon Allen looks great and he'll likely see some snaps between the 20s, but Hall has not lost a goal line opportunity and is leading the position in targets right now. Last week's game could also be explained by it being on Thursday when Hall was on the injury report in an expected blowout.

  3. Jordan Mason - 98.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • 49ers have the 5th-highest team total and are 10-point home favorites. Another 20 touches are expected, especially with Deebo Samuel (calf) expected to be out one more game.

    • Mason is the RB5 in expected half PPR points this year.

    • He's picked up more rushing yards than expected on 50% of his carries per NextGenStats (RB3).

  4. Kyren Williams - 95.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Rams have the 7th-lowest team total, but the entire offense centers around his involvement. He's the RB1 in expected half PPR points and even handed off his punt return job to Xavier Smith last week.

    • Rams have 3-of-5 starters on the OL right now, so it's not as bad as a situation as it was 1-2 weeks ago.

  5. James Conner - 89.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Cardinals with the highest team total of the week.

    • Commanders have allowed a league-worst 51% success rate on RB carries.

    • His most recent weekly finishes: RB54, RB6, RB10, RB1, RB3, RB5, RB11, RB5.

  6. Bijan Robinson - 105.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • He's finished as a top-5 half PPR RB in just 1-of-20 career games.

    • This is a tough spot per the efficiency chart, especially with the Falcons potentially down their C and RT due to injuries.

    • The Saints have allowed the 8th-fewest half PPR points to RBs.

  7. Alvin Kamara - 100.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Saints Pro Bowl C Erik McCoy and OG Cesar Ruiz are out.

    • The Falcons have allowed the 3rd-fewest half PPR points to RBs.

  8. Derrick Henry - 79.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Ravens have the 6th-highest team total.

    • This is an eruption spot per the efficiency chart.

  9. Jonathan Taylor - 88.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • The Steelers have allowed the 2nd-fewest half PPR points to RBs.

  10. Josh Jacobs - 78.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • The Vikings have allowed the 6th-fewest half PPR points to RBs, but LB Ivan Pace is out.

    • Jordan Love's expected return is relatively good news for Jacobs' scoring odds.

    • Jacobs is the RB11 in rush yards over expected out of 41 qualifiers at NextGenStats. He's just had brutal goal line luck so far. Nobody is due to more touchdowns than Jacobs.

  11. Jahmyr Gibbs - 79.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • The Lions are (by far) the leader in RB usage, though many of that goes to David Montgomery (RB15 in usage) too. Gibbs is the RB9 in expected points.

  12. James Cook - 75.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • The Ravens have allowed the 5th-fewest half PPR points to RBs on the fewest rushing yards per game (39). Their average tackle depth is the best in the NFL.

  13. Najee Harris - 84.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Jaylen Warren (knee) is out after undergoing an MRI last week, but so is OG Isaac Seumalo.

    • Colts have allowed the most rush yards to RBs and have Pro Bowl DT DeForest Buckner on IR.

  14. De'Von Achane - 83.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Dolphins have the 6th-lowest team total.

    • Raheem Mostert (chest) has been limited. I'm guessing he misses again.

    • Titans DT T'Vondre Sweat looks incredible next to All Pro DT Jeffery Simmons.

  15. Brian Robinson - 84.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Austin Ekeler (concussion) is out.

  16. Zack Moss - 73.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Bengals with the 2nd-highest team total as 4.5-point favorites.

    • This is an eruption spot per the efficiency chart, too (see above). The Panthers have allowed the 5th-most rush yards to RBs and have Pro Bowl DT Derrick Brown on IR.

  17. Aaron Jones - 84.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • He's been the RB10 on RB6 usage so far.

    • The Packers have allowed a 30% success rate on RB carries, the 2nd-best.

  18. Chuba Hubbard - 83.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • He had a season-high 20.3 expected half PPR points with Andy Dalton last week.

    • He's picked up more rushing yards than expected on a league-high 57% of his carries per NextGenStats.

    • The Bengals have allowed the 5th-most EPA per carry to RBs and are missing DTs B.J. Hill and Sheldon Rankins.

  19. David Montgomery - 73.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • He's the RB11 on RB15 usage.

    • Seahawks DTs Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy could miss this game.

  20. Devin Singletary - 81.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Leading RBs in missed tackles forced per carry (min. 21 carries).

    • The Cowboys are last in rushing success rate allowed since 2023. They've also allowed a league-high 6 rushing TDs to RBs this year.

  21. Travis Etienne - 70.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • The Texans have allowed the 7th-fewest half PPR points to RBs. Their average tackle depth to RBs is the 3rd-best.

  22. Rico Dowdle - 57.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Cowboys have the 4th-highest team total as 5.5-point favorites vs. the Giants.

    • He was more involved early and in negative game script in Week 3. His tape and analytics are the best on the team, so his workload share should continue to increase at the expense of Zeke and Duece Vaughn.

  23. Cam Akers

    1. Texans have the 3rd-highest team total.

    2. Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is out and Joe Mixon is likely out after DNP-DNP-limited practices. Dare Ogunbowale is likely to remain as the pass-down back, while Akers plays in the red zone and on early downs. He looked totally fine on tape last week.

  24. Tony Pollard - 66.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Titans have the 4th-lowest team total.

    • The Dolphins have allowed the 2nd-most half PPR points to RBs.

  25. J.K. Dobbins - 70.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Chargers have the 2nd-lowest team total. Justin Herbert, LT Rashawn Slater, and RT Joe Alt are expected to miss. Trey Pipkins also didn't practice. Gl gl!

    • The Chiefs have allowed the 4th-fewest half gPPR points to RBs.

  26. Rhamondre Stevenson - 74.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Patriots have the lowest team total as 10-point road dogs to the 49ers. Game script is beyond brutal for Stevenson.

  27. Kenneth Walker

    • Don't expect his 80% workload in his first week back from injury, especially after Zach Charbonnet played well in his absense.

    • The Lions have allowed (by far) the fewest half PPR points to RBs.

  28. Jerome Ford - 64.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Browns have the 5th-lowest team total.

    • The Raiders have allowed the 3rd-most half PPR points to RBs.

  29. Rachaad White - 58.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • I'm not concerned about his food poisoning.

    • He's the only RB to have negative yards before contact (min. 20 carries).

  30. Carson Steele - 48.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Chiefs have the 8th-highest team total as 8.5-point favorites over the Chargers.

    • Steele underwhelmed on his 16.7 expected half PPR points last week but is a positive regression candidate near the goal line. His success rate on runs is at the very top of the list. The negative ones have just come at the very worst time.

  31. Chase Brown - 44.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Bengals with the 2nd-highest team total.

  32. D'Andre Swift - 55.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • The Rams have allowed the 2nd-most rush yards to RBs.

  33. Javonte Williams - 51.5 total yards in Pick'em.

    • Broncos have the 3rd-lowest team total.

    • Broncos RBs have 13 rushing yards before contact on the entire season, obviously dead last. Not having OT Mike McGlinchey (IR) isn't going to help.

  34. Zach Charbonnet

  35. Roschon Johnson

  36. Ty Chandler

  37. Tyjae Spears

  38. Braelon Allen

  39. Bucky Irving (Questionable)

    • He's been limited-DNP-limited with a new hamstring injury.

    • He's faced 8+ defenders in the box on a league-low 8% of his runs per NextGenStats, and his explosive runs in Week 3 where gadget-type runs in 2-RB sets. He looks solid, but it's far from the normal usage we see from a 1a runner so far. That could change at any moment.

  40. Jaleel McLaughlin

  41. Ezekiel Elliott - 37.5 total yards in Pick'em.

  42. Zamir White

    1. Raiders have the 8th-lowest team total.

  43. Alexander Mattison

  44. Khalil Herbert

  45. Samaje Perine

  46. Emanuel Wilson

  47. Tank Bigsby

  48. Dare Ogunbowale

  49. Justice Hill

  50. Tyler Allgeier

  51. Antonio Gibson

  52. Tyrone Tracy

Week 4 WR Rankings

  1. CeeDee Lamb - 80.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Giant slot CB Dru Phillips (calf) and outside CB2 Adoree Jackson (calf) are out.

  2. Justin Jefferson - 79.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Just never fade him. Pretty simple. Packers CB1 Jaire Alexander is more of a name brand than a lock down guy (see: A.J. Brown in Week 1).

  3. Malik Nabers - 71.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • The WR1 overall on WR1 overall usage so far.

  4. Nico Collins - 76.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Jaguars CB1 Tyson Campbell is on IR, yet they play man coverage on 50% of their passes.

  5. Ja'Marr Chase - 73.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • This is an eruption spot vs. the Panthers.

  6. Rashee Rice - 75.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Chargers SS Derwin James (suspended) is out.

  7. Amon-Ra St. Brown - 74.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • His matchup with slot CB Devon Witherspoon is one of the best of the week. The Seahawks are currently 1st in success rate allowed. Impressive.

  8. DK Metcalf - 62.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Seahawks are 4th in neutral pass rate and are 3.5-point dogs vs. the pass-funnel Lions.

  9. Chris Godwin - 63.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Eagles have had some coverage busts early.

    • He's the WR3 on WR18 so far.

  10. Mike Evans - 60.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He'll see some rookie CB1 Quinyon Mitchell. Offense typically test rookies.

  11. Stefon Diggs - 55.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • This assumes Tank Dell is out.

    • Diggs is the WR13 on WR16 usage so far.

  12. Marvin Harrison - 72.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He's the WR10 on WR13 usage.

    • This is an eruption spot vs. the Commanders, who allowed 44.7 half PPR points per game to WRs. The next closest, 36.4.

  13. Tyreek Hill - 54.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Nobody knows how this will go, but I'd say Snoop Huntley > Skylar Thompson.

  14. Deebo Samuel - 50.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • After his Week 2 injury, Kyle Shanahan said his calf strain would keep him out "weeks", yet he's back in Week 4 after DNP-limited-limited practices. This one is a bit fishy to me, but the state of the WR position is so bad and his weekly ceiling is so high that he's more or less a must start in 10- and 12-team leagues. Just fully understand that there are decoy, game script, and re-injury risks associated with him in Week 4.

  15. Amari Cooper - 57.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Browns only projected for 17.5 points vs. the Raiders.

    • He's the WR30 on WR4 overall usage so far.

  16. Garrett Wilson - 56.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He'll see Broncos CB1 Patrick Surtain in man coverage. They've allowed the 2nd-fewest half PPR points to WRs so far.

    • He's the WR31 on WR6 usage so far.

  17. Drake London - 60.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He's the WR23 on WR28 usage so far.

    • The Saints' pass game defense has been top 8 for many consecutive years.

  18. George Pickens - 52.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • This is an eruption spot vs. the Colts. Their CB1 JuJu Brents is on IR.

  19. Chris Olave - 57.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He popped up on Friday's injury report with a hamstring injury. Not good, even if he suits up.

    • Falcons CB1 A.J. Terrell and FS Jessie Bates are a terrific duo to prevent these deep play action shots to Olave.

    • He's the WR28 on WR52 usage so far.

  20. Diontae Johnson - 60.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • A groin injury resulted in full-DNP-limited practices. He says he's ready to go, but Johnson is at risk for re-injury at this point with his official "questionable" tag.

    • NFL leader in RPO targets, leading to the WR35 on WR5 overall usage so far.

  21. Terry McLaurin - 55.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • This is an eruption spot vs. the Cardinals.

    • He's the WR42 on WR40 usage so far, hauling in two incredible throws in Week 3.

  22. DJ Moore - 55.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • This is a get right spot vs. the Rams, who are 2nd-worst against fantasy WRs.

    • He's the WR37 on WR11 usage so far, but Keenan Allen is expected back.

  23. Brandon Aiyuk - 57.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    1. This is an eruption spot per the chart, but Patriots CB1 Christian Gonzalez is one of the corners we should care about.

    2. Deebo Samuel (calf) and George Kittle (hamstring) are expected to play, but neither likely at 100% health.

    3. He's been the WR61 on WR24 usage so far. What the hell?

  24. Jaxon Smith-Njigba - 49.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    1. Seahawks are 4th in neutral pass rate and are 3.5-point dogs vs. the pass-funnel Lions. They've allowed the 3rd-most fantasy points to WRs.

  25. Jameson Williams - 41.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He's the WR20 on WR9 overall usage so far.

  26. Tee Higgins - 53.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • 95% routes led to WR10 usage, but he didn't convert on them.

  27. Jayden Reed - 48.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • This assumes Jordan Love is back.

    • The Vikings are playing 2-high shells and bringing pressure, incentivizing offenses to throw underneath. That's where Reed typically does his damage.

  28. Jakobi Meyers - 44.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Davante Adams and Michael Mayer are out. He's been the WR34 on WR31 usage with them both in so far.

    • He'll see some CB1 Denzel Ward in coverage.

  29. Rashid Shaheed - 45.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Falcons CB1 A.J. Terrell and FS Jessie Bates are a terrific duo to prevent these deep play action shots to Olave.

  30. Brian Thomas - 45.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • WR29 on WR48 usage so far, despite seeing Jalen Ramsey, Denzel Ward, and the Bills No. 1 passing EPA defense. Next up, Derek Stingley.

  31. Zay Flowers - 46.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    1. He's the WR26 on WR12 usage so far, despite the Ravens trailing in 2-of-3 games.

    2. The Bills are 1st in passing EPA allowed.

  32. Courtland Sutton - 42.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He'll see some CB1 Sauce Gardner.

    • He's the WR55 on WR8 overall usage so far.

  33. Xavier Worthy - 39.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He's the WR38 on WR59 usage, running equally amount of clear out routes as manufactured touches in the offense.

  34. Khalil Shakir - 45.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He's the WR19 on WR60 usage. Those YAC plays have worked extremely well but can be tricky to be sustained.

  35. Rome Odunze - 35.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Keenan Allen (heel) was a full participant on Friday and should play. He's the WR40 on WR21 usage, with most of that coming without Keenan.

    • This is a get right spot vs. the Rams, who are 2nd-worst against fantasy WRs.

  36. Christian Kirk - 44.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Gabe Davis is questionable and Evan Engram is out.

  37. Michael Wilson - 44.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  38. DeAndre Hopkins - 34.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He looked good last week at the catch point and within the route. I expect his snaps to increase here. He played 52% routes last week.

  39. Calvin Ridley - 39.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  40. Darnell Mooney - 39.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  41. Tyler Lockett - 43.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  42. Ladd McConkey

    • Justin Herbert playing and this negative game script work in his favor.

  43. Keenan Allen (Questionable)

    • He was limited-limited-full in practice, a sign that he'll play but perhaps at less than 100%. Players with an official "questionable" designation are often over-projected.

  44. Demarcus Robinson - 39.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  45. Tutu Atwell - 37.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  46. Xavier Legette - 34.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Diontae Johnson (groin) being questionable and Adam Thielen (IR) being out are reasons to buy into a breakout game for the 1st-round rookie.

  47. Michael Pittman - 46.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Zero RPO targets, and Colts with the fewest plays per gmae.

  48. Romeo Doubs - 40.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  49. Wan'Dale Robinson - 33.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He's the WR36 on WR19 usage so far.

  50. Jerry Jeudy - 39.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He's the WR43 on WR26 usage so far.

    • David Njoku hasn't practiced yet.

  51. Jaylen Waddle - 40.5 total yards in Pick'em.

  52. Quentin Johnston

  53. Jordan Addison - 39.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  54. Alec Pierce

  55. Mike Williams - 33.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  56. Christian Watson - 33.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  57. Johnny Wilson

  58. Jahan Dotson

  59. Dontayvion Wicks

  60. Jauan Jennings - 31.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Deebo Samuel and George Kittle are expected to play, but perhaps at less than full health.

    • He's the WR2 on WR15 usage so far.

  61. Brandin Cooks - 38.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Giant slot CB Dru Phillips (calf) and outside CB2 Adoree Jackson (calf) are out.

  62. Greg Dortch

  63. Andrei Iosivas

  64. Allen Lazard - 28.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  65. Keon Coleman

  66. Gabe Davis (Questionable)

    • He was limited all week with a shoulder. That doesn't explain why he looks so slow on tape though.

  67. DeMario Douglas - 33.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  68. Jalen Nailor

  69. Rashod Bateman - 26.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  70. Curtis Samuel

  71. Jalen Tolbert

Week 4 QB Rankings

  1. Kyler Murray - Cardinals (27.0, -3.5) vs. WAS

    • Commanders have allowed the most fantasy points to QBs.

    • The Cardinals have the highest team total of the week.

  2. Josh Allen - Bills (22.0, +2.5) at BAL

  3. Jayden Daniels - Commanders (23.5, +3.5) at ARI

  4. Lamar Jackson - Ravens (24.5, -2.5) vs. BUF

    • Bills have allowed the 8th-fewest fantasy points to QBs, but they are missing LBs Matt Milano (IR) and Terrel Bernard (out). They use a bunch of 2-high shells, which can be beaten by run-first offenses like the Ravens. We'll see if this is a zone read game for Lamar and Derrick Henry. I'm guessing yes.

  5. C.J. Stroud - Texans (25.5, -6.5) vs. JAX

    • Jaguars have allowed the 3rd-most fantasy points to QBs, who keep playing man coverage despite having their lone lock-down CB1 due to injury.

    • Tank Dell is out.

    • The Texans have the 3rd-highest team total of the week.

  6. Joe Burrow - Bengals (26.0, -4.5) at CAR

    • The Bengals have the 2nd-highest team total of the week.

    • This is his first game without LT Trent Brown (IR).

  7. Jalen Hurts - Eagles (22.25, -1.5) at TB

    • Eagles RT Lane Johnson is out. A.J. Brown (questoinable) and Devonta Smith (out) are both projected to be out, which is bad news but could also mean a major uptick in valuable rushing work from Hurts. He's looked healthy this year.

    • Bucs have allowed the 6th-most fantasy points to QBs and have been exploited on the ground by Jayden Daniels (16-88-2) and Bo Nix (9-47-1). They have FS Antoine Winfield, DT Vita Vea, and DT Calijah Kancy on the injury report still.

    • Todd Bowles humiliated the Eagles with blitzes in the NFL Playoffs earlier in 2024.

  8. Dak Prescott - Cowboys (25.0, -5.5) at NYG

  9. Patrick Mahomes - Chiefs (23.5, -7.0) at LAC

    • Chargers have allowed the 6th-fewest fantasy points to QBs, but they are without EDGE Joey Bosa, S Derwin James, LB Junior Colson, and likely CB Ja'Sir Taylor. CB Kristian Fulton is also questionable.

  10. Brock Purdy - 49ers (25.5, -10.5) vs. NE

    • All Pro LT Trent Williams (toe) was a DNP on Friday, but George Kittle is expected to return.

  11. Geno Smith - Seahawks (21.5, +3.5) at DET

    • Seahawks are 4th in neutral pass rate and face a pass funnel as 3.5-point dogs. The volume will be there.

  12. Jared Goff - Lions (25.0, -3.5) vs. SEA

    • Rams Pro Bowl C Frank Ragnow (pec) is out. That's a big deal, but the Seahawks could be missing two stud DTs in Leonard Williams (ribs) and Byron Murphy (hamstring).

    • Seahawks have allowed the 3rd-fewest fantasy points to QBs, though they've been Bo Nix, Jacoby Brissett, and Skylar Thompson.

  13. Caleb Williams - Bears (21.75, -3.0) vs. LAR

    • Rams have allowed the 2nd-most fantasy points to QBs.

  14. Jordan Love - Packers (23.25, -3.0) vs. MIN

    • He was limited all week and seems truly 50/50 to play. A limited Love against a psycho defense is playing with fire in my opinion, but maybe he's mobile enough.

    • Vikings have allowed the 9th-fewest fantasy points to QBs, despite facing the 49ers and Texans already. They are savages.

  15. Sam Darnold - Vikings (20.25, +3.0) at GB

    • Jordan Addison returns.

  16. Justin Fields - Steelers (20.75, -1.5) at IND

    • Colts are missing DT DeForest Buckner, EDGE Kwity Paye, CB Kenny Moore, CB JuJu Brents, and others. They are bad.

  17. Anthony Richardson - Colts (19.25, +1.5) vs. PIT

    • Colts C Ryan Kelly (DNPx2) is questionable. This is the last thing a struggling, inexperienced QB needs against Mike Tomlin.

    • Steelers have allowed the 2nd-fewest fantasy points to QBs.

  18. Andy Dalton - Panthers (21.5, +4.5) vs. CIN

  19. Matthew Stafford - Rams (18.75, +3.0) at CHI

    • Bears have allowed the 4th-fewest fantasy points to QBs.

  20. Aaron Rodgers - Jets (23.5, -7.5) vs. DEN

    • Broncos have allowed the 7th-fewest fantasy points to QBs.

  21. Baker Mayfield - Bucs (20.75, +1.5) vs. PHI

  22. Daniel Jones - Giants (19.5, +5.5) vs. DAL

  23. Kirk Cousins - Falcons (22.5, -2.5) vs. NO

    • RT Kaleb McGary (knee) is out and C Drew Dalman is on IR. Kirk will have to move around the pocket moving forward.

  24. Trevor Lawrence - Jaguars (19.0, +6.5) at HOU

  25. Derek Carr - Saints (20.0, +2.5) at ATL

    • Play action machine doesn't go brrrrr without a lead and the ground game working. Now he has to navigate than as projected dogs without his two interior offensive linemen.

  26. Justin Herbert - Chargers (16.5, +7.0) vs. KC

    • This feels very risky.

  27. Tyler Huntley - Dolphins (18.75, -1.0) vs. TEN

  28. Bo Nix - Broncos (16.0, +7.5) at NYJ

    • Jets have allowed the fewest fantasy points to QBs.

  29. Deshaun Watson - Browns (17.75, +1.5) at LV

    • I think there's bench risk at this point.

    • OTs Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills are out, as is OG Wyatt Teller. All are awesome players when healthy. Luckily, Raiders Pro Bowl EDGE Maxx Crosby is out.

  30. Will Levis - Titans (17.75, +1.0) at MIA

    • Dolphins have allowed the 5th-fewest fantasy points to QBs.

  31. Gardner Minshew - Raiders (19.25, -1.5) vs. CLE

    • I think there's bench risk at this point.

  32. Jacoby Brissett - Patriots (15.0, +10.5) at SF

    • I think there's bench risk at this point.

Week 4 TE Rankings

  1. Dallas Goedert - 52.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Clearly the TE1 if A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith are out.

    • Goedert is a freak athlete, remember. He hit 21 MPH on his yards after catch play last week.

  2. Jake Ferguson

    • Rest of season top-5 TE? We're close.

  3. Brock Bowers - 41.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • Davante Adams (hamstring) is out, as is Michael Mayer (personal). This is a beautiful spot for Bowers to see 7-10 targets.

  4. Travis Kelce - 46.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  5. Sam LaPorta - 36.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He was a full participant and left off the injury report despite a low-ankle sprain.

  6. George Kittle - 46.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He's been limited-limited in practice and is unlikely to be 100% in his second week from his hamstring injury.

  7. Dalton Kincaid - 37.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  8. Kyle Pitts - 33.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  9. Cole Kmet- 27.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  10. Dalton Schultz - 33.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • He gets a target share bump without Tank Dell.

  11. Hunter Henry - 28.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

    • 10-point underdog game script heavily favors Henry's target upside.

  12. Isaiah Likely - 28.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  13. Colby Parkinson - 28.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.

  14. Mike Gesicki - 26.5 receiving yards in Pick'em.
