2 days agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson had his best game of the season in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions, hauling in eight catches for 64 yards. He'll look to build on that momentum in Week 4 with a favorable matchup against the Washington Commanders' struggling secondary. The Commanders rank last in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers and have one of the weakest cornerback tandems in the NFL. Standing at 6'2" and 215 pounds, Wilson will have a noticeable size advantage that the Cardinals could exploit in the passing game. Currently rostered in just 14% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues, Wilson is a potential streaming option for managers in need of wide receiver help in Week 4.

2 days agoDallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) could be in danger of missing some time after suffering an injury during Thursday's game against the New York Giants. This is bad timing for the Cowboys with Micah Parsons (ankle) also picking up an injury during that game. The team hasn't given a timetable for Parsons, but they expect Lawrence to miss multiple weeks due to a foot injury. Not good news considering Lawrence has been a solid contributor for the Cowboys. He has 14 tackles, three sacks, and four tackles for loss through four games. Chauncey Golston or Marshawn Kneeland are next in line to see increased snaps with Lawrence likely out a few weeks.

2 days agoDallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons (ankle) could end up missing some time after suffering an injury during Thursday's win over the New York Giants. The superstar pass rusher has reportedly suffered a high-ankle sprain. The organization hasn't yet given a timetable for Parsons, but it wouldn't be shocking if he does miss time. Luckily, the Cowboys do have 10 days off before they play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5. Parsons has been off to a slow start with only 14 tackles and one sack through the first four games. However, his absence would be a significant blow to this defense going forward.

2 days agoThe Minnesota Vikings D/ST has been incredible through three weeks and has a tempting matchup in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings became the first team in over 20 years to accumulate five or more sacks in each of the first three games, a dream for a fantasy D/ST. The Packers will be running with
Malik Willis, a limited passer, or with hobbled
Jordan Love (knee), who could be limited with a knee injury. Starting the Vikings' D/ST hasn't disappointed anyone yet this season, and it should be a solid play again in Week 4.

2 days agoMinnesota Vikings kicker
Will Reichard is looking to build off his back-to-back double-digit outings in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. The rookie kicker in Minnesota is one of only four kickers to score 10 or more points in each of the last two weeks and is one of only nine kickers to have made every kick attempt so far this season. Given how efficient the Vikings' offense has been and how average the Packers' defense has been, Reichard is likely a solid play for those who stream their kickers.

2 days agoCarolina Panthers wide receiver
Diontae Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable to face the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday in Week 4. Johnson popped up on the Week 4 injury report after missing practice on Thursday, but he was able to return to the practice field on Friday, giving him a shot to play this weekend. Johnson's status looms even larger after Carolina placed fellow wideout
Adam Thielen (hamstring) on Injured Reserve earlier this week. If Johnson is limited or out in Week 4, that takes out the Panthers' top two receiving options for veteran
Andy Dalton. Even if Johnson suits up on Sunday, rookie
Xavier Legette should be in for an expanded role, making him worth a look as a WR4/flex play in deeper fantasy leagues against a Bengals defense that isn't scaring anyone.
Jonathan Mingo would serve as Carolina's No. 2 WR if Johnson isn't given the green light.

2 days agoDespite solid performances in Weeks 1 and 2, Arizona Cardinals running back
James Conner struggled to find running room in the Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions, managing just 17 rushing yards. This has raised concerns among fantasy managers, especially after Conner had been viewed as a reliable starter across all league formats. However, there's no need for drastic reactions just yet. Conner remains a high-end RB2 heading into Week 4, with a favorable matchup against a Washington Commanders defense that ranks 20th in fantasy points allowed to running backs. In Week 3, the Commanders allowed
Zack Moss to post his season-high performance. With the absence of tight end
Trey McBride, Conner could also see an uptick in targets, boosting his potential even further. He remains a must-start for Week 4.

2 days agoMinnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones gets an opportunity to play against his long-time former team, the Green Bay Packers, in Week 4, and he is set up to have a big game. The former Packer has been a top running back for fantasy in PPR formats to this point and will be playing against one of the worst rush defenses in the league. The Packers' defense allowed 140 or more yards on the ground in two of the three games thus far, allowing two running backs to accumulate over 130 total yards against them. The Vikings have committed to the ground game thus far, with nearly 23 rushing attempts per game for their running backs. Expect Jones to have another solid outing in Week 4.

2 days agoAfter a subpar performance by his usual standards,
Kyler Murray faces a favorable matchup in Week 4 against the Washington Commanders. Washington's pass defense ranks 31st in the NFL, allowing an average of 255.7 passing yards per game. They also rank dead last in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. While the Commanders' pass rush hasn't made a significant impact early this season, the Cardinals' offensive line should have little trouble keeping Murray upright. Adding to the advantage, Washington is coming off a short week and will be playing their second consecutive road game, which could lead to fatigue. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to start Murray with sky-high expectations for Week 4.

2 days agoMinnesota Vikings quarterback
Sam Darnold (knee) has been nothing short of remarkable to open the NFL season. The 27-year-old tweaked his knee on Sunday against the Texans, though he has been removed from the injury report as he will look to build on his league-leading eight touchdowns in Week 4's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The former first-round pick sits as a top-five fantasy quarterback through three games despite being drafted outside of the top 25 QBs by ADP before the season, and he likely gets wide receiver
Jordan Addison (ankle) back for this game. Darnold faces an average-to-below-average Packers passing defense that has yet to be tested by a true pocket passer like Darnold. While he may not be a top-five fantasy option this week, Darnold is a viable starting option in standard leagues and even better in six-point passing touchdown leagues this week.

2 days agoHouston Texans wide receiver
Nico Collins (hamstring) was seen at practice on Friday and is trending toward playing in Week 4 on Sunday versus the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Collins was added to the Week 4 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Thursday. Fantasy managers should check back to see what Collins' official status is for the weekend, but even if he's questionable, it appears that he's on the right side of questionable after not missing any practice time this week. The 25-year-old pass-catcher should be in all starting fantasy lineups against a porous Jags defense if he's active, especially with fellow wideout
Tank Dell (chest) unlikely to play. Collins went over 100 yards receiving in each of the first two weeks despite the addition of
Stefon Diggs in the offseason, and he currently leads the league with 112.7 yards per game.

2 days agoAfter missing the last two games with an ankle injury, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jordan Addison (ankle) plans to play in a big Week 4 divisional game at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. After a second straight day of limited practice on Thursday, Addison said that he's "ready to go" and expects to play on Sunday. Fantasy managers will want to check Minnesota's final injury report on Friday, but all signs are pointing towards Addison making his return this weekend, which is certainly good news for the 3-0 Vikings. It's bad news for anyone that has plucked
Jalen Nailor off the waiver wire in recent weeks, though, after he has scored a touchdown in each of the team's first three games of 2024. Addison, who had 911 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie in 2023, caught just three of four targets for 35 yards in the season-opening win over the New York Giants.

2 days agoArizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said there are no concerns with rookie wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (quadriceps) for the Week 4 contest versus the Washington Commanders. Harrison was added to the injury report this week but was able to put in limited practices on both Wednesday and Thursday. It sounds like the 22-year-old was just getting a little extra rest this week and should be fine to suit up this Sunday. Harrison laid an egg in his NFL debut in the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills but has been heavily involved the last two games, catching nine of 19 targets for 194 yards and three touchdowns. Fantasy managers surely would like to see more efficiency from the Harrison-
Kyler Murray combination, but the fourth overall pick in this year's draft remains a must-start in fantasy lineups. Harrison could have another banner day against a suspect Commanders secondary in Week 4.
UPDATE: Harrison was officially cleared for Week 4.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: Arizona Sports - Tyler Drake
