New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker is difficult to trust in fantasy football ahead of his Week 4 clash against the Dallas Cowboys. For starters, Dallas has a strong defense that could impose its will against New England on Sunday. Additionally, although Parker played 76 percent of offensive snaps last week, he caught just two passes for 19 yards. Perhaps his poor production can be blamed on rainy conditions, but other potential explanations also exist. It's incredibly possible that no Patriots wide receiver can be trusted in fantasy football, as has been the case in years past. If you're rostering Parker, leave him on the bench this Sunday.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's usage fell victim to Week 3's 37-3 destruction of the Washington Commanders, catching both of targets for a meager three yards. The highlight of the 23-year-old's three-game profile shows the fifth-most slot snaps (62) at his position. Besides that, there hasn't been much special to see out of Kincaid yet across his first three career contests. But the 2023 first-round pick will try to break out in a Week 4 meeting with the Miami Dolphins that should supply plenty of scoring opportunities. Miami has given up the eighth-highest fantasy points per game (14.37) to his position, but Kincaid is still more TE2 than TE1 unless Buffalo opts to phase out Dawson Knox, who has four red-zone targets to Kincaid's two, from the passing game a bit.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones should be avoided in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 4 clash with the Dallas Cowboys. While Jones owns a respectable 64.8 percent completion rate and five-to-two touchdown-to-interception ratio, he's an unappealing option given his matchup and suboptimal fantasy production over the last two weeks. Week 5 versus New Orleans represents another tough task for the young quarterback, though he should be able to get back on track in Week 6 against the Raiders, at the latest.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth was able to find the end zone for the second time this season in Week 3. The big tight end hasn't seen a heavy volume of targets, which has made him mainly touchdown dependent in fantasy leagues. The lack of targets is a bit concerning considering the Steelers are still without Diontae Johnson (hamstring) who is on the injured reserve. Right now, Freiermuth appears to be the No. 2 option behind George Pickens. That being said, he should continue to see a handful of targets. He'll get a favorable matchup versus the Houston Texans in Week 4. Fantasy managers can put Freiermuth on the TE2 radar for this week.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is an unreliable fantasy option heading into Week 4 versus the Dallas Cowboys. It's no secret that Dallas has a tough defense and should make it difficult for Mac Jones and co. to get much done on Sunday. It should also be noted that while Bourne leads the team in targets, catches, and yards, his season stats are skewed by an explosive Week 1 performance in which he scored two touchdowns. Bourne has 75 yards over his last two games and played just 56 percent of snaps last week. You can leave him on your bench for the time being.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren continues to see an increased usage each week. In Week 3, Warren saw a 45.2 percent snap share, which was his largest of the season. Despite that, both Warren and Najee Harris have struggled on the ground early in the season. Warren has been the better fantasy option between the two due to his receiving ability. However, both backs should have better games versus the Houston Texans defense in Week 4. A defensive unit that has allowed a league-high seven touchdowns on the ground through three games. The expectation is that these two will continue to split up the reps, so neither player has great value. Warren should be able to carry low-end flex value in PPR formats.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis left his mark with a 35-yard touchdown catch on four targets in Week 3's 37-3 flattening of the Washington Commanders. The 24-year-old's receiving line last Sunday delineated why he's widely regarded as one of fantasy's most inconsistent assets. Week 4's hosting of the Miami Dolphins could be a high-scoring setting where Davis' boom-or-bust prospects are more inclined to offer fantasy explosiveness. With that said, the erratic deep threat has lived up to the moniker in six career games against the Fins, totaling three touchdowns with a 100-yard and targetless outing mixed in during this bumpy span. Though his play style offers a wide range of potential weekly outcomes, consider Davis a WR3 with WR2 upside who remains more enticing in DFS tournaments in this attractive game environment.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has failed to do much on the ground early in the season. In fact, Harris has yet to score a touchdown or top 65 rushing yards in a single game through three contests. It's also worth noting that Jaylen Warren continues to be involved in the backfield as well. That being said, Harris will need to pick up the slack or risk losing more snaps to Harris. Luckily, Harris does have a favorable matchup versus the Houston Texans in Week 4. A defensive unit that has given up a league-most seven rushing touchdowns this season. Fantasy managers can be hopeful that Harris will be able to provide RB2 value in this above average matchup.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Carlton Davis (toe) is tagged as questionable for the Week 4 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The Bucs are hopeful to get Davis back this week after he has missed each of the last two games. He was able to get in a full practice on Thursday before being limited on Friday. The Bucs secondary could certainly use Davis on the field with Jamel Dean (neck) already ruled out. This secondary could be in danger if both Davis and Dean are sidelined for the Monday night matchup.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has presented very promising results so far this year, registering at least 16 touches in each of his three opening games. The 24-year-old's role in handling base work and the bulk of targets (13) out of the Bills backfield has lent itself to a relatively high fantasy floor. Cook's five red-zone touches still trail trusted veteran Latavius Murray (eight) in this area, which remains problematic for his ceiling. Buffalo's encouraging combination of positive game script and strong run blocking should eventually yield higher-scoring returns out of Cook, who saw some more high-value touches in Week 3 after getting zero in the season opener. With the 2022 second-rounder ranking third in rushing yards (267) on the young season, treat Cook as an RB2 with RB1 upside in Week 4 against a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the sixth-most ground yards to RBs (337) this year.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The 28-year-old has been crushing it so far in 2023. He has made seven of eight field goals over three weeks, with three of them being from over 50 yards out. Elliott has put up double-digit points every week, and this one should be no different. Washington has allowed an average of 32 points to be scored over the past two weeks and will likely struggle to generate pressure with the Eagles offensive line. Expect a heavy dose of extra point attempts with a shot at a few field goals for Elliott in Week 4.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. While the 24-year-old missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, he was a full participant on Friday and is not listed on the team's final injury report. Last week against Tampa Bay, Smith came back to earth after scoring in each of the season's first two games. The former Heisman winner took a backseat to A.J. Brown, who got the squeaky wheel treatment after being visibly frustrated about his involvement during Week 2. This matchup against the Commanders is excellent for fantasy wide receivers, setting Smith up for a bounce-back performance. Washington allows the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position and was eaten alive by Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis last week. Consider Smith a high-end WR2 in Week 4.

Houston Texans offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil (knee) and Josh Jones (hand) have both been ruled out for Sunday's clash versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. Austin Deculus is expected to start at left tackle this weekend, which could be extremely bad news for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense against Steelers pass-rushers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. The 29-year-old Tunsil, a three-time Pro Bowler, was injured in the Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and hasn't played since. Hopefully he'll be able to return in a Week 5 meeting with the Falcons in Atlanta.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will take on the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 4 on Sunday. It has been an incredibly slow start for the 28-year-old tight end. With two finishes outside the top 25 and his best performance coming last week as only the TE15, Goedert is struggling to capitalize on a solid target share so far. The matchup against Washington is what is most concerning. The Commanders allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends this year and have given up a total of just 11.3 fantasy points through three weeks. Goedert's ceiling seems capped this week, so be sure to manage expectations if you are rolling him out in Week 4.

Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin is expected to be active in Week 4 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest in a Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2. A spot on the team's 53-man roster opened up with safety Jordan Poyer (knee) ruled out this weekend. Hamlin played in all three of Buffalo's preseason games but was inactive for the first three regular season games. During the preseason, Hamlin played 73 defensive snaps and 19 snaps on special teams. The 25-year-old's story is an amazing comeback story after a scary life-threatening incident on the field. Buffalo's secondary is pretty deep, so as long as they remain healthy for the most part, Hamlin could be inactive for much of the year.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will face the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The 26-year-old got the squeaky wheel treatment last week against Tampa Bay, catching nine of 14 targets for 131 yards. This week's matchup against Washington should provide similar, if not greater, results for fantasy managers. The Commanders have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers through three weeks and had a rough time defending the Bills' top option, Stefon Diggs, last week. Brown is a must-start in Week 4.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. While the 24-year-old was the clear-cut starter in Week 1 against New England, he has since been relegated to backup duties behind D'Andre Swift, who went nuclear in Gainwell's absence in Week 2. The third-year back still has fantasy relevance, especially in matchups where the Eagles are heavily favored. However, he can only max out as a high-end RB3 with Swift active. This week against Washington, Gainwell has a shot to rank inside the top 36. The Commanders did well against Arizona and Denver but allowed Buffalo to run all over them last week. Consider Gainwell a low-tier flex option in Week 4.

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. In addition to Humphrey, Baltimore's defense will be without outside linebackers David Ojabo (ankle, knee) and Odafe Oweh (ankle), while safeties Kyle Hamilton (back) and Marcus Williams (pectoral) are questionable to play. Humphrey will be missing his fourth straight game to begin the year after he had foot surgery in August. The Ravens defense will be facing a Browns team without running back Nick Chubb (knee), but given the lack of health on their defense entering the weekend, they should be considered a shaky low-end fantasy defensive unit against a Browns offense that started rolling in Week 3.

Los Angeles Chargers star free safety Derwin James (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and is doubtful to suit up this Sunday for a Week 4 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. The Bolts defense could be quite short-handed this weekend, with star pass-rusher Joey Bosa (hamstring, toe) and safety Alohi Gilman (heel) questionable and cornerback Deane Leonard (hamstring) and safety JT Woods already ruled out. Despite the injuries, the Chargers defense could catch a break if Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo doesn't clear the NFL's concussion protocol. At best, the Chargers D is a streaming option in fantasy leagues, but if Jimmy G is ruled out, they'll become much more attractive.

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift will face the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. The 24-year-old has put up 319 scrimmage yards over the past two weeks and scored one touchdown. On paper, Tampa Bay was a tough matchup for Swift last week, but he overcame it and averaged over eight yards per carry. This week's matchup against Washington is similar. However, they just allowed James Cook of Buffalo to over 100 total yards and average 6.5 yards per carry. The Eagles' starting back is becoming matchup-proof and should be treated as a top-tier RB2 in Week 4.
