2 days agoLos Angeles Rams tight end
Colby Parkinson finished the Week 3 win over the 49ers by amassing three catches for 21 yards. While
Cooper Kupp (ankle) and
Puka Nacua (knee) were sidelined, Parkinson couldn't take advantage. With Kupp and Nacua out again for the Week 4 matchup with the Bears, targets are up for grabs. Of course,
Kyren Williams will be the preferred offensive option for the Rams. However, Parkinson,
Demarcus Robinson,
Tutu Atwell,
Tyler Johnson, and
Jordan Whittington have a chance to see more attention from
Matthew Stafford. It's anyone's guess who the signal-caller will look to the most versus Chicago, so Parkinson is hard to trust in any fantasy lineup, especially since he has only eight catches this season.

2 days agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver
Tutu Atwell had a team-high four catches for 93 yards in the Week 3 win over the 49ers. With
Cooper Kupp (ankle) and
Puka Nacua (knee) sidelined again for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears, there is room for others to step up. Without question,
Kyren Williams will get all the work he can handle. However, Atwell has earned the trust of his coaching staff, meaning he could see more than the 43 offensive snaps he had versus San Francisco. With that in mind, he's arguably the top wideout on the roster from a talent standpoint, so he warrants at least flex consideration for fantasy managers in Week 4.

2 days agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end
Hayden Hurst (Achilles) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's AFC West matchup with the Chiefs. The veteran was on the injury report before the Week 3 meeting with the Steelers because of an ankle injury. While he was on the field for that one, he finished with just two catches for 15 yards. With only five receptions in the first three games of the 2024-25 campaign, Hurst likely isn't on many fantasy rosters. As such, he should not be starting in Week 4.

2 days agoSeattle Seahawks tight end
Noah Fant (toe) was limited during Friday's practice. The 26-year-old has battled the toe injury all season but has still played, so he will likely be out there on Monday night in Detroit. He had a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign, totaling just three receptions in Seattle's first two contests. However, he caught all six targets for 60 yards in Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins. After such a performance, fantasy managers in some formats consider him a starting tight end in Week 4. Still, Fant hard to trust, especially since it's been over a year since he's found his way into the end zone.

2 days agoThe Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams hasn't been as stout and hasn't churned out as many turnovers as everyone comes to expect every season. They've only produced two interceptions and one fumble recovery so far while giving up 25 points or more in each of their first three games. While they looked good for three quarters against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3, they melted down in the fourth and ended up allowing 23 points in the second half alone. In Week 4, they'll take on a red-hot Buffalo Bills offense that has looked like an unstoppable train over the last two weeks. The Ravens give up an average of 40.4 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receiver groups in PPR formats, and
Josh Allen has made it seem like losing
Stefon Diggs meant nothing. Fantasy managers may want to look for a better matchup when it comes to streaming defenses, because they look like they could really struggle to contain the Bills' offense.

2 days agoBaltimore Ravens kicker
Justin Tucker has finally shown signs of slowing down this season, much to the surprise of fantasy managers and football fans everywhere. The star kicker clocks in as the K18 to start the season and has already missed three of his eight field goal attempts so far. Week 3 didn't do him any favors as he missed his lone field goal attempt and made four extra points. His Week 4 opponent, the Buffalo Bills, are one of the tougher teams in the early part of this season as they've allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers. The opposing kickers are only averaging 5.7 fantasy points against them right now, and if Tucker continues to miss field goals that he used to make, John Harbaugh and company may start going for it on fourth down more often. Fantasy managers will want to proceed with caution when it comes to starting Tucker this week.

2 days agoBaltimore Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews has been one of the most disappointing players for fantasy managers in the early goings of this season. He was once one of the set-it-and-forget-it type of tight ends, and he's now found his way on most teams' benches. To make matters worse, head coach John Harbaugh talked about how the tight ends are going to on more of a rotational type of role, and they'll all see more or less time depending on matchups and game plans. That turned into Andrews only being on the field 33% of the time in their last game against the Dallas Cowboys. Against a tougher pass defense in the Buffalo Bills, it doesn't seem to be the best-case scenario for an Andrews breakout game. At this rate, Andrews is hovering around TE2 territory until he separates himself from the rest of the Ravens' tight ends. Outside of deeper leagues, it's probably best to find a tight end that will consistently run routes and be on the field.

2 days agoBaltimore Ravens running back
Derrick Henry looked like a man amongst boys again when he gashed the Dallas Cowboys for 151 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. The King was showing off the incredible stiff arm while proving that age is just a number. Now, Henry and the Ravens shift focus to the Buffalo Bills in Week 4 who have given up the ninth-most yards per carry so far with 4.7. With that being said, they've only given up one rushing touchdown and that comes down to the fact that they have only been in one close game so far.
James Conner put up 83 total yards and a score against this defense while
De'Von Achane had 96 yards on the ground and
Travis Etienne Jr. had 6.2 yards per carry. Henry should be considered an RB1 heading into this matchup, as his ceiling heavily depends on how the Ravens play if they go down early.

2 days agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson is the QB4 on the season through three weeks and is on track for just shy of 4,000 passing yards and 1,500 rushing yards if he can maintain his averages for 17 games. He even boasts his lowest interception percentage yet, but unfortunately has the lowest touchdown-throwing percentage as well in this sample size. In Week 4, he draws a bit of a tougher test as the Ravens take on the Buffalo Bills who only allow 5.1 yards per pass attempt and have only given up three touchdowns through the air versus four interceptions. However, they give up the ninth-most yards per carry, which would keep Jackson in the QB1 conversation. It's unlikely that this game would turn into a blowout and keep the ball in
Derrick Henry and
Justice Hill's hands, so Jackson should get more opportunities through the air. Fantasy managers can still consider him a must start, even in a tougher matchup.
