To start or sit players in fantasy football for Week 4, recommendations depend on player roles, matchups, and recent performance trends. Here are some relevant points from recent expert advice:
- Must Start players are usually top-tier QBs, TEs, and RBs including high-volume and high-upside performers like Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, and Jahmyr Gibbs. These players have favorable matchups or strong usage patterns.
- Sit players who face tough defenses or have diminished roles, such as Aaron Rodgers against a heavy blitz Vikings defense or Matthew Stafford in non-2QB formats.
- Flex plays often include RB2/WR3 with strong matchup upside, such as Breece Hall or up-and-coming receivers with increasing target shares.
- For running backs, Trey Benson is a good start due to increased role after James Conner's injury, showing impressive metrics like explosive run rate and missed tackles forced.
- Wide receivers with good matchup advantages or target share, like Michael Pittman against the Rams, are advised to be started.
- Tight ends like Tyler Warren, leading in yards per game, are solid set-and-forget starters.
- Streaming options on waiver wire can be leveraged for one-week plays based on matchups.
The advice varies by league format (PPR, standard, SuperFlex) and user team composition but these insights cover general start/sit decisions for the current week. More personalized advice can be found by syncing league data with expert tools or checking updated player rankings and matchup analysis.
