Welcome to Week 4 of the fantasy football season!
It’s time to start thinking about setting your lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 4 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!
Among the running backs, Zack Moss has made a massive move into the top 12. Kenneth Walker III is in the top 10, but Joe Mixon and Rhamondre Stevenson have moved down a few spots based on tough Week 4 opponents. Both are still in the RB2 conversation. Breece Hall and Najee Harris continue to drop, though the latter has a get-right matchup in Houston. The question is, can he take advantage?
At wideout, Ja’Marr Chase is back in the top three after a huge Week 3 and a nice matchup against the Titans. Puka Nacua remains a low-end No. 1 wideout ahead of a game in Indianapolis, and I love veteran receivers Calvin Ridley and Adam Thielen in their “revenge games” against the Falcons and Vikings, respectively.
At tight end, youngsters Sam LaPorta and Luke Musgrave are both No. 1 options. Fellow rookie Dalton Kincaid is a nice streamer this week, but veterans like Dalton Schultz and David Njoku have taken a tumble due to recent bad stat lines.
Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
