Fantasy Risers After Week 4 📈

George Pickens:

George Pickens was finally used as a multifaceted wide receiver this week. It may have required CeeDee Lamb being out, but Pickens dominated what many considered a good Packers defense. As long as Lamb misses time with his high ankle sprain, Pickens is a must-start asset in fantasy football. He is taking on the Jets in Week 5.

Ashton Jeanty: 

Ashton Jeanty was in an excellent matchup, but the rookie showcased why the Raiders drafted him so highly in this contest with the Bears. He accumulated over 150 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns, including two receiving touchdowns. He has a much tougher opponent next week in the Colts, and it is unlikely that he scores three times two weeks in a row, but Ashton Jeanty fantasy managers at least know massive performances are in there for him.

Woody Marks:

The gradual ascension of Woody Marks has reached its peak. After seeing seven touches in Week 3, he recorded 21 touches in Week 4, recording over 100 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns against the abysmal Titans. He is going to be the most sought after waiver wire add of the entire season so far as he takes on another bad defense in Baltimore.

Drake London:

London finally had one of his signature performances in Week 4, proving why nobody should have given up on him yet. He has a bye upcoming, but he remains a must start option as Michael Penix's favorite target on a good offense.

Quentin Johnston:

Quentin Johnston has firmly solidified himself as a weekly start for fantasy football. He had 13 targets against the Giants, and turned those into eight receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. He is clearly trusted by Herbert, and he should be clearly trusted by the fantasy community at this juncture.

Fantasy Fallers After Week 2 📉

Alvin Kamara:

Alvin Kamara has not looked good for most of this season, and, if you can believe it, KENDRE MILLER looked better than he did against the Bills. Kamara is very difficult to trust on this team, and his last chance to prove that he still has some fantasy relevance comes in Week 5 against the Giants.

Brian Thomas Jr.:

BTJ has gotten to a point where he is best left on your bench. He has not recorded a receiving touchdown this season, and we are skeptical that many of those are to come, based on what we have seen from him so far. Thomas also has had under a 40% catch rate. He has three difficult matchups coming up against the Chiefs, Seahawks, and Rams.

DJ Moore:

Moore has fallen out of fantasy favor this season, with his highest scoring performance being 12 PPR points in a game where he scored a touchdown. He cannot be started with any sort of confidence until his volume increases. Be on the lookout for a potential trade…

Ladd McConkey:

Ladd McConkey once again ceded tons of work to Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen. If you are his fantasy manager, this has not been something you have wanted to see. With the injuries to the offensive line, as well as his drop issues, he is becoming more and more difficult to start.

Justin Herbert:

Herbert's entire offensive line is injured, and it showed against the Giants. For the foreseeable future, he is going to have a harder time getting the ball out with efficiency and accuracy. He can be started in good matchups, but he is far less trustworthy than he was two weeks ago.

Add/Drop/Trade Candidates

TRADE FOR Rome Odunze:

Rome Odunze is leading the Bears in targets, and he has been performing very well for fantasy football purposes. They have a bye this week, and if you are one of the better teams in your league, we recommend trying to acquire him. After the bye, Odunze has an insanely good schedule. He faces the Commanders, Saints, Ravens, Bengals, and Giants.

TRADE AWAY Dalton Kincaid:

Kincaid has put in some good performances so far this season, but is yet to play more than 55% of snaps in a game. In Week 4, he played the lowest amount of snaps of any Bills tight end, including rookie Jackson Hawes. He is also not seeing lots of targets, at least not as many as you would expect when looking at his production. Tight end is a difficult position to hammer down in fantasy football, but we believe you can get a good return for him in a trade.

ADD Woody Marks:

Woody Marks is, potentially, one of the biggest waiver wire pickups of the season. He showcased his ability to be a versatile weapon for the Texans. Additionally, he looked a lot better than Nick Chubb. Marks' role has grown as the season has progressed, and we are anticipating this sort of workload on a regular basis moving forward.

DROP Calvin Ridley:

Calvin Ridley is not good. His highest finish this season was the WR56 in PPR leagues. He is on a terrible offense, and Cam Ward clearly prefers throwing to targets who do not drop passes. He also saw his lowest snap percentage of the season in week 4 (54%). You do not need to be rostering Calvin Ridley anymore. Ignore his name value.
