Raiders Expected To Be Interested In Mike Vrabel, Liam Coen For Head Coach
After the firing of head coach Antonio Pierce on Tuesday, the Las Vegas Raiders are expected to be looking at former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel and Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen to replace Pierce, among others. In addition to Vrabel and Coen, former Seattle Seahawks head coach Peter Carroll's name could be involved. Vrabel could be a front-runner given his popularity as a head-coaching candidate this cycle and his familiarity with Brady, as the two previously won Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots. Formulating a plan to find a franchise quarterback is priority No. 1 for Vegas' front office and whatever new head coach they bring in. Vrabel is already scheduled to interview for head-coaching openings with the Patriots and Chicago Bears, while Coen has a request from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Trevor Lawrence Carries QB1 Upside Into Week 4
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has not piled up huge passing-yardage totals lately, but the touchdowns have kept coming. Lawrence threw for 182 yards against New England last week, his second straight game below 200, yet he still found the end zone three times and added 25 yards on the ground. He has seven touchdown passes against two interceptions through three games, with Jacksonville scoring 27 points per game along the way. Cincinnati does present a challenge up front. The Bengals have generated pressure on 39.7% of opposing dropbacks, the fifth-highest rate in the league, so Lawrence may not have a clean pocket all afternoon. RotoBaller is still very high on him for Sunday, ranking Lawrence as QB4 for Week 4. The passing yardage has been uneven, but his touchdown production and Jacksonville's strong start offensively keep him firmly in QB1 territory against Cincinnati.

Tre' Harris Faces Tough Test After Recent Surge
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris has been one of the few bright spots in the passing game over the last two weeks. He led the team with 53 receiving yards in Week 2 on one catch, then followed that with six receptions for 76 yards on seven targets in Buffalo. Harris now has 10 catches for 149 yards on 16 targets through three games, and his 76 yards last week were a regular-season career high. Ladd McConkey (foot) is questionable for Sunday, so Harris could have another chance to stay involved if McConkey is limited or unavailable. The problem is the matchup. Seattle has allowed the fewest receiving yards to wide receivers this season and has been especially good at limiting explosive plays. Harris sits at WR57 in RotoBaller's latest Week 4 rankings. His recent production has earned attention, but this is still a difficult spot to trust him outside deeper leagues.

Commanders Elevate RB Craig Reynolds from Practice Squad Amid Injuries
Washington Commanders running back Craig Reynolds has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in London. Washington needed another healthy body with Rachaad White (shoulder) ruled out, and the move also adds some uncertainty around how much Austin Ekeler will be asked to do right away. Ekeler only rejoined the Commanders earlier this week after recovering from last season's Achilles tear, so the team has had just a few practices to work him back into the offense. Reynolds' elevation doesn't necessarily mean Ekeler will be inactive, but it gives Washington another option if his workload is limited. Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Kaytron Allen are also available in a backfield that suddenly has several moving parts. Reynolds may end up serving mostly as depth Sunday, but his elevation is worth noting with White unavailable and Ekeler's immediate role still unclear.

Jordyn Tyson Sprinting During Saturday Rehab Work
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) was sprinting off to the side Saturday as he continues working back from the injury that has kept him out since August. Nick Underhill reported that Tyson was also practicing stopping and starting, a notable step in his rehab even though he still isn't participating with the team. The rookie injured his right hamstring during an Aug. 13 joint practice with Jacksonville and opened the season on injured reserve with a return designation. Tyson will be eligible to begin practicing after New Orleans' Week 4 game, but head coach Kellen Moore said Thursday that he doesn't currently expect that to happen next week. Saturday's work is still encouraging, especially for a player who has yet to make his NFL debut after going eighth overall in April. For fantasy managers stashing Tyson, the next real milestone will be the Saints opening his 21-day practice window.

Courtland Sutton Remains a Risky Week 4 Flex
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has yet to get much going through the first three weeks. He has eight catches for 82 yards on 16 targets without a touchdown, although Week 3 brought at least a little progress. Sutton drew a season-high seven targets against the Rams and finished with three catches for 46 yards, both his best marks of the year. The bigger issue is where he now fits in Denver's passing game. Jaylen Waddle has already had a 10-target, 138-yard game, and Sutton is no longer operating as the clear top option he was in recent seasons. Denver also has been more balanced offensively under new play-caller Davis Webb. Sutton is healthy entering Sunday's trip to San Francisco, but RotoBaller has him at WR41 for Week 4. The seven targets last week keep him in the flex conversation, though fantasy managers should not treat him as an automatic starter until the production becomes more consistent.

Isaiah Davis Finally in Line for Offensive Work
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis is finally in line for offensive work with Breece Hall (quad) ruled out for Sunday against Chicago. Davis has not recorded a carry or reception through three games, but head coach Aaron Glenn said this week that his role on offense will grow. Braelon Allen should still be the first back fantasy managers look to in this situation, and RotoBaller ranks Davis as RB52 for Week 4, so expectations need to stay in check. There is some reason for interest, though. Davis averaged 5.5 yards per carry on 43 attempts last season and has averaged 5.6 yards across 73 career carries. Chicago has allowed 117 rushing yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry through three weeks. Davis could see enough work to matter in deeper formats with Hall sidelined, but his first meaningful offensive role of the season makes him a difficult option to trust in standard leagues.

Tyson Bagent to Start Against Jets
Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent will start Sunday against the New York Jets with Caleb Williams (hamstring) sidelined for a second straight game. Ben Devine reported the decision Saturday, ending a week in which head coach Ben Johnson had declined to name Bagent or Case Keenum as the starter. Bagent took most of the first-team reps during the week after clearing concussion protocol ahead of Monday night's win over Philadelphia. He last saw game action in Week 2, completing five of nine passes for 54 yards after Williams went down before suffering a concussion himself. Keenum played well in his place against the Eagles, but Chicago is going back to Bagent for Week 4. RotoBaller's updated Saturday rankings have him at QB25, which keeps him primarily in the Superflex and two-quarterback conversation.

Ladd McConkey Carries Extra Risk Into Week 4
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) has a few things working against him entering Week 4. He was limited Wednesday, missed Thursday's practice and returned in a limited capacity Friday, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game in Seattle. McConkey has caught 12 of 15 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown through three games, so the efficiency has been there when Justin Herbert looks his way. The volume has not. He saw only three targets in Week 2 and five last week in Buffalo, finishing with four catches for 66 yards. Seattle has also been one of the toughest defenses for opposing wide receivers through three weeks. McConkey sits at WR32 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings with the foot injury, matchup and recent target totals all working against him. Fantasy managers need to make sure he is active Sunday, and even if he plays, he carries more risk than usual as a WR3 or flex option.

Dohnte Meyers Could Build on Expanded Role Against Jaguars
Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Dohnte Meyers hauled in three of five targets for 29 yards in the 30-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. While many haven't heard of Meyers, the undrafted free agent from the 2023 draft played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders over the past three seasons and made Cincinnati's 53-man roster after a stellar preseason. With Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on injured reserve, Meyers played 55% of snaps and ran 60% of routes in the Week 3 loss, ranking third among receivers behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Meyers faces a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has allowed the ninth most yards to wide receivers this season. While Meyers is a fun story given his CFL career, he is not fantasy-relevant behind Chase and Higgins in the pecking order.

Kendrick Bourne Remains on the Fantasy Radar in Deeper Leagues
Arizona Cardinals running back Kendrick Bourne has emerged as a safe and reliable target for quarterback Jacoby Brissett this season. As a result, he has earned increased snaps, and he's making a push to supplant Marvin Harrison Jr. as the No. 2 receiver on the depth chart. Bourne has played at least 55% of the snaps in all three games this season, but now he needs to start fetching more targets. The 31-year-old caught a whopping eight passes in Week 1, but he has just two catches on three targets in each of the last two weeks. It's not ideal that Bourne is behind Michael Wilson, Trey McBride, and possibly Harrison in the pecking order, but his role might actually be impacted even more by the presence of Jeremiyah Love. This Cardinals team threw the ball out of necessity last year, but the emergence of Love has allowed them to incorporate the rushing attack more often. With that being said, Brissett threw the ball 52 times last week, so we're still encouraged that Bourne can be a matchup-based WR3/flex play. This week, he's going up against a Giants defense that has allowed the 11th-most receiving yards and fifth-most touchdowns to wide receivers in 2026.

Brycen Tremayne a Sneaky FLEX Option if Coker is Inactive in Week 4
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brycen Tremayne could see a larger role in Week 4 due to injuries at wide receiver. Tremayne is coming off a career game in Week 3, hauling in four of six targets for 83 yards in the 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. With Jalen Coker (quad) exiting early and Xavier Legette (knee) inactive, Tremayne played 79% of snaps and ran 77% of routes in Week 3. With Legette already ruled out and Coker questionable for Sunday night's game against the Detroit Lions, Tremayne could see a workload similar to last week. The Lions' secondary has struggled as well, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While his value likely hinges on whether Coker is active, if he is ruled out, Tremayne could be a sneaky FLEX option against a weaker Lions' secondary.

AJ Dillon Remains Handcuff to Chuba Hubbard in Week 4
Carolina Panthers running back AJ Dillon had four carries for 16 yards and one catch for negative two yards in the 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. With running back Jonathon Brooks (core) on injured reserve, Dillon is filling in as Chuba Hubbard's backup. The former Packers back played just 16% of snaps in Week 3, while Hubbard played 84%. They face a Detroit Lions defense that has allowed the 13th fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. However, rain is expected, and head coach Dave Canales said the run game will be integral to Sunday night's outcome. While he's strictly a handcuff to Hubbard, Dillon is a name to monitor in Week 4.

Tai Felton to Have Larger Role with Jefferson Out
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tai Felton is expected to see a larger role in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. Star wideout Justin Jefferson suffered an ankle sprain that has ruled him out, leaving Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, and Felton as the receivers with significant roles. The second-year receiver had two targets but no receptions in the 23-16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, yet he played 55% of the snaps and 65% of the routes after Jefferson left the game early. He faces a Dolphins defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, but also the seventh-most passing yards. With a limited role behind Addison and Jennings still expected, Felton is not fantasy-relevant despite the increased role with Jefferson inactive.

Cody White Still a Risky Play Despite Touchdown Streak
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Cody White has been an unexpected bright spot amid the team's 3-0 start to the season, contributing three touchdowns over the last two weeks. However, despite the scoring streak, he's still not a reliable fantasy option for Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. All three of White's catches this season have gone for touchdowns; this 100% touchdown rate is absolutely not sustainable. Something has to give, and right now, he's more likely to see his touchdown volume decrease rather than see his target volume increase. With a sub-22% snap share in all three of his games, White's fantasy outlook is entirely dependent on him scoring a touchdown. Even last week, when he scored a touchdown, he finished with a modest 7.6 fantasy points in PPR leagues, because the touchdown was his only catch. We might see his snap share increase with Jack Bech (forearm) on injured reserve, but he's still behind Jalen Nailor, Tre Tucker, and potentially Dareke Young on the depth chart. Managers looking for a receiver with touchdown upside should head the waiver wire for better options with higher volume shares. It's also worth noting that he has an incredibly challenging matchup against the Chiefs, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2026.

Brandin Cooks to Have Role in Week 4 Given 49ers Injuries
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandin Cooks is expected to make his debut in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Cooks signed with the 49ers' practice squad, was promoted to the active roster on Thursday, and is set to play Sunday. The veteran receiver played 15 games with the New Orleans Saints and the Buffalo Bills last season, hauling in 24 of 36 targets for 279 yards and no touchdowns. With Mike Evans (ribs) questionable and De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Christian Kirk (calf), and Demarcus Robinson on injured reserve, Cooks will likely slot in alongside Deebo Samuel Sr., Jordan Watson, and Jacob Cowing. While he faces a difficult test against the Broncos' stout secondary, Cooks could be a receiver to watch if he has success in Week 4.

Chig Okonkwo in TE2 Territory for Week 4 Return Against Colts
Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo will make his return in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury. Okonkwo played 55.7% of the snaps and caught two of three targets for 16 yards before exiting. The 27-year-old tight end could serve as Washington's No. 2 target in the passing game behind Stefon Diggs with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) not expected to play. Okonkwo could be in line for a productive day against a Colts defense that has allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game (10.8) and the fifth most receptions (20) to opposing tight ends so far this season. Okonkwo ranks as RotoBaller's TE25 in PPR formats for Week 4.

Treylon Burks a Deep League Flier in Week 4
Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks is expected to see more snaps in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) not expected to play. Burks ran the third most routes behind McLaurin and Stefon Diggs in Week 3 against Seattle and hauled in both of his targets last week for 13 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old is likely to share some routes with Dyami Brown and others as Washington rotates their wide receivers a bit. Despite a likely increased role, Burks doesn't project as a fantasy option for Week 4 except for deeper leagues. He is worth considering as a high-risk, high-upside option in DFS competitions given the increase in snaps.

Jacob Cowing Could Benefit for 49ers Injuries in Week 4
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing should see an expanded role in Week 4, with several injuries across the team's wide receiver room. Although Cowing hasn't recorded a stat in three games this season, he's seen increased usage over the past two weeks. He's played 36% of snaps and 36% of routes. Wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs) is questionable, and De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Christian Kirk (calf), and Demarcus Robinson are on injured reserve. If Evans can't play, Cowing should be a key contributor alongside Deebo Samuel Sr. and Jordan Watkins. They face a difficult matchup against the Denver Broncos, who have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season and the second-fewest in 2025. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep tabs on Cowing, especially if the 49ers suffer additional injuries to their already depleted receiver room.

Antonio Williams Could Be In Line for Bigger Role in Week 4
Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams may be in line for an increased role in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) now not expected to play. Williams has had multiple receptions in every game so far this season and has looked impressive with his limited opportunities. It will be interesting to see how much the rookie third-rounder's role increases after he saw his route share down to a season low of 22.9% in Week 3. Veterans Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown have maintained steady roles and are expected to be a part of a rotation again in Week 4. Williams should still have more opportunities this week and could have some flex appeal in deeper formats in an appealing Week 4 matchup against a Colts defense that has allowed the third most passing yards per game (276) and the fourth most yards per pass attempt (7.8).

Chris Brooks Could Finally Handle a Sizable Workload
Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks has yet to touch the ball more than seven times in a single game this season, and his snap share has steadily declined each week since the season opener. However, a projected positive game script against the Buccaneers in Week 4 could be exactly what Brooks needs to turn his season around. This Packers backfield has yet to see any consistency in terms of personnel, with Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd both occupying minimal roles while Josh Jacobs remains on the commissioner's exempt list. Although Brooks' snap share has slipped a little lately, he has still been playing more than both Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson. The Packers are favored by three points on the road, presenting an opportunity for Brooks to feast in the rushing attack. He's a fair RB3/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues for Week 4.
