WEEK 4
I mentioned earlier in the week my fondness for rolling with Jets running back Braelon Allen. The Bears defense up front is allowing the 6th highest yards per carry average through the first three weeks of the season. In a game where it looks as though Allen could be featured, he could be in line for 20+ carries and looking at hitting triple digits on the ground in this one. He's a start in all formats for me.
The Panthers are facing a Lions secondary (allow most yards receiving, receptions, and fantasy points to opposing tight ends) that has been shredded through the first three weeks of the season. With Xavier Legette (placed on IR) ruled out and Coker (Questionable) less than 100%, Waller should see plenty of opportunity Sunday night to do some damage, especially in the Red Zone.
Sleepers
This is a gut feeling based on my evaluation of the information available. Something that has been missing from the Packers passing attack, the short game. Clearly Watson and Golden are the deep threats and tight end Tucker Kraft is still shaking off some rust. With the loss of Jayden Reed (neck), wide receiver Skyy Moore (7 targets) saw his role elevated last week and he could see it expanded even more going forward. He's a speedster and could utilized in the Reed role. He's worth stashing and could be a flyer this week against the Buccaneers.
This is probably my favorite sleeper play of Week 4, Rams tight end Tyler Higbee. Perhaps not much of a sleeper, if you are awake and paying attention. With the loss of Terrence Ferguson last week, and over-shadowed by the big game turned in by Davante Adams, Higbee caught 8 passes for 62 yards and a score on 11 targets, good enough for fantasy TE6 in Week 3. Even with the return on Puka Nacua, Ferguson (placed on IR) is out and Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) banged up, Higbee should remain involved in the passing game
That's My Take
