Fantasy Football Week 4 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Insights

NEW YORK, NY — Fantasy football enthusiasts are gearing up for Week 4 of the NFL season, and crucial start-sit decisions are on the line. Players like Jaxson Smith-Njigba and Trey McBride are making headlines, while injuries are reshaping strategies.

Jaxson Smith-Njigba, often referred to as JSN, ranks fourth in targets per game, first in yards per route run, and second in targets per route run. With 50% of Seattle’s first read targets going his way, JSN is positioned for a strong outing.

Trey McBride also stands out, especially against a Seattle team that relies heavily on zone coverage. He has been targeted 27% of the time in such situations, indicating a productive game ahead.

On the other hand, Trey Benson finds himself in a challenging position. With James Conner sidelined for the season, Benson received a bell cow workload, but faces a stout Seahawks run defense that allows just 3.1 yards per carry.

Ken Walker faces uncertainty as the Seattle star was limited in his last outing. Despite two touchdowns last week, Walker has seen a decrease in snaps and could be overshadowed by teammate Zach Charbonnet.

In the quarterback realm, Kyler Murray’s recent performance has been underwhelming with scores of QB16 and QB22. However, with Conner out, he might be more inclined to run.

Marvin Harrison struggles in volume as he has been out-targeted by teammate McBride, further complicating his fantasy appeal. Meanwhile, the return of Zach Charbonnet could impact Walker’s workload this week.

Justin Fields and the Bears square off against a Dolphins defense that has struggled. Given Miami’s tendencies, Fields could find fantasy success in this matchup.

As for the running back landscape, names like D'Andre Swift and Breece Hall are generating buzz this week. Swift, who remains a volume-based FLEX option, faces a Raiders defense that allows 4.5 YPC. Meanwhile, Hall could benefit from favorable matchups as the Jets take on Miami.

Lastly, notable pairings such as Josh Allen and James Cook continue to show promising synergy. With high expected fantasy points, Cook is projected to maintain his impactful role.

This week promises a mix of exciting matchups and strategic pivots for fantasy managers. Good luck navigating your lineups!
