Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington brings intriguing upside to Monday Night Football's divisional matchup against the Jets. The second-year receiver from Virginia returned a punt for a touchdown in Week 2 and played a larger role in Week 3. He's operating as the team's third receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and has played over 50% of snaps each week. Against the Bills in Week 3, he had a season-high three catches on five targets and also had 20 rushing yards on two carries. He has 34 receiving yards and 52 rushing yards to go with that punt return touchdown this year, and the Dolphins will continue to try to find ways to get the ball into his hands. They need an offensive spark with Tua Tagovailoa struggling, and incorporating Washington more could be a way to find some big plays on Monday night. He's a very high-risk start at this point as RotoBaller's WR73 this week, but he's also a player with breakout potential who is worth keeping an eye on with bye weeks just around the corner.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is likely to be active for the Week 4 matchup between Chicago and the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran back is officially listed as questionable on the Bears's final injury report, though it seems as if he'll still play this week. He's been a serviceable starter this year with some receiving upside, catching nine passes on 11 targets through three games, albeit on offense that has really struggled at times. Swift is a playable flex option this week against a good Raiders run defense.

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) does not have an injury status for Monday Night Football against the Jets, setting him up for his first action of the season. The 33-year-old had a few huge years with the Raiders but has not played a game since the 2023 season. The Dolphins lured him out of retirement this year, but he hasn't been able to play due to a hip issue. It's very uncertain what he'll be ready to contribute on Monday Night Football against the Jets, who have been fairly good against tight ends this season. He is worth a stash from the waiver wire if you are desperate for a tight end solution. However, it seems unlikely that Waller will have a huge role right away. He's the TE37 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he isn't an option to play this week, even though he is worth watching to evaluate his future potential.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has dealt with numerous off-field issues and rumors over the last year, and his on-field production has been inconsistent as well. He'll look to put all that behind him with a big game against the Jets this Monday night, and hopefully help his team get its first win of the season. Last year, Hill had 10 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown in his first matchup with the Jets before only snagging two catches for 20 yards in the regular season finale in the rematch. This year, he and Tua Tagovailoa have struggled to get on the same page, leaving some big plays on the field. He has had solid fantasy games the last two weeks, posting 109 yards against the Patriots before 49 yards with a touchdown against the Bills last Thursday. Hill brings a very high ceiling but is a volatile play due to his team's struggles. He's RotoBaller's WR19 this week, indicating he's a WR2 that should still be started in most formats.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is likely to be available when his team takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The second-year receiver is listed as questionable on the injury report, but it appears as if he'll be able to play come game time Sunday. Pearsall has gone over 100 yards twice in three games this year, including a season-high eight catches for 117 yards last week in a win against Arizona. Pearsall is a high-quality WR3/Flex play against a suspect Jags pass defense.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has posted five catches and a touchdown each of the last two weeks, and he'll look to extend his scoring streak this week in a favorable matchup against the Jets. Waddle was questionable last week with a shoulder injury, but played a season-high 87% of the team's snaps against the Bills. He caught five of his six targets for only 39 yards but did find the end zone for the second straight week. Waddle could get more work this week if Sauce Gardner focuses on locking down Tyreek Hill, leaving more space for Waddle, who is third on the team in targets behind only Hill and De'Von Achane. With Tua Tagovailoa playing very conservatively, Waddle will likely have to pick up most of his yardage after the catch. However, his volume and his red zone work keep him as a solid play despite the offense's issues. This week, he is the No. 35 wide receiver in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a solid WR4 or flex option in most leagues.

From RotoBaller

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) of the San Francisco 49ers is expected to play in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. But Jennings being active comes with a catch: he's also likely to be limited. The circumstances point to the possibility that Jennings could be a snap count for the game, obviously hampering his fantasy ceiling for this week. Jennings is otherwise a strong WR3/Flex play with a great matchup, though his injuries will present the risk he plays fewer snaps than normal.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright was active last Thursday after missing the first two weeks of the season with a knee injury, but he didn't play a single snap on offense or special teams. Ollie Gordon II had a solid game as the complement to De'Von Achane, taking nine carries for 38 yards and a touchdown. Achane also continues to be a PPR beast as a receiver out of the backfield, not leaving any room for Wright to get any chances yet. Coach Mike McDaniel said he wants to incorporate Wright into the game plan, but trade rumors have also been swirling this week since Wright showed some potential as a rookie last year after he was a fourth-round pick from Tennessee. He's only the RB81 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he shouldn't be started in any format until he has a role, but it is worth watching to see if he can get involved this Monday night in a favorable matchup against the Jets.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II had a good training camp and preseason, but it took until Week 3 for him to really get a chance to shine this season. He'll look to build on his success this week in a favorable Monday Night Football matchup against the Jets, who have allowed three running back touchdowns in three games. Gordon got his first NFL touchdown last week after taking over in the red zone for De'Von Achane on his team's opening drive. He finished with nine carries for 38 yards and a touchdown, after getting only three carries in the first two games of the season. Gordon's physical running style is especially effective between the tackles and in the red zone, making him an excellent complement to Achane. If he is in that role again on Monday, he has touchdown-dependent upside as a flex option. RotoBaller's rankings have Gordon as the No. 46 RB, so he isn't quite a starter yet. However, if he can lock into his change-of-pace role with another strong showing this week, he definitely brings sleeper potential.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has struggled so far this season, playing very conservatively but also turning the ball over at critical times. He and his team will look to turn things around and get their first win on Monday when they host the Jets. Tua has thrown at least one interception in each game this season, with five touchdowns to go with his four interceptions on the year. He threw two touchdowns in each of his last two games, with 315 yards against the Patriots and 146 yards against the Bills. He has failed to exceed 5.0 yards per attempt in two of his three games, and when he has pushed the ball down the field, the results have usually not been good for his team. Even in a very favorable matchup on Monday against the Jets, he is only a fringe starter in dual-quarterback leagues. He's the QB21 in RotoBaller's rankings, so he can be a QB2 in desperate spots, but he'll need to bounce back after struggling in the first three weeks of the season.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the few bright spots in the Dolphins' offense this season, and he makes a strong RB1 start against the Jets on Monday Night Football. Achane has scored two touchdowns this season, both as a receiver out of the backfield, and he totaled 147 rushing yards and 141 receiving yards over his three games. He has totaled 15 catches on 19 targets in his last two games, making him a strong PPR option that brings both a high ceiling and a high floor with so much volume. The Jets have allowed three running back touchdowns in their three games, and if the Dolphins play from ahead, the game script could call for plenty of work for Achane. He's the RB5 in RotoBaller's PPR rankings this week, and a very strong start on Monday night in all formats

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe did not factor into his team's 23-20 win over the hosting Arizona Cardinals. Milroe snuck into Seattle's thrashing of the Saints in Week 3, picking up three yards on his second tote of the season. It doesn't appear that the Seahawks will force him into the game plan every week, and would rather have him continue to develop off the field. The University of Alabama product is an incredible athlete, but more of a raw talent in regard to his ability as a passer. If the rookie were ever to take the field in a starting capacity, he'd immediately draw intrigue due to his prowess as a rusher. For now, fantasy managers in superflex dynasty leagues can stow him away in hopes that the job eventually becomes his. Otherwise, he doesn't figure to have any value in redraft formats, barring injuries to the competition in front of him. Seattle will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5.

Carolina Panthers running back Trevor Etienne could potentially see a few more snaps this weekend when his team takes on the hosting New England Patriots. Etienne has logged exactly two snaps in each of his first three appearances and two total touches thus far as he's comfortably behind teammates Chuba Hubbard (calf) and Rico Dowdle in Carolina's backfield pecking order. However, that may change in Week 4. Hubbard sustained a calf injury during the week of practice, and he's been labeled as questionable ahead of Sunday's outing with New England. If he's inactive, Dowdle figures to pick up most of the work in his stead, leaving the rookie in line to take over the former's backup duties. The sentiment is that Hubbard will play, but if he does not, Etienne would see extended work for the first time and could boast a larger role moving forward if he performs well. For now, he's RotoBaller's PPR RB85 for Sunday's contest.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter doesn't figure to make an impact in this Sunday's matchup with the visiting Indianapolis Colts. The rookie has yet to make an appearance for LA on offense, although he's been out there on special teams over the last two weeks, and sported a modest increase in snaps from Week 2 to Week 3. The Auburn product offers the most athleticism of the Rams' backfield trio. However, Kyren Williams has yet to handle less than 70% of the Rams' offensive snaps in a given week, and has handily out-touched backup Blake Corum 4:1 (60-15). Hunter is an interesting hold in dynasty formats, but his path to relevance in redraft is less clear, as Williams dominates opportunities. He'll be off the radar in season-long leagues until garnering his first touch as a pro.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant could see a modest uptick in snaps this week when his team squares off against the Cincinnati Bengals at home on Monday Night Football. Bryant is currently a distant option in Denver's WR corps, ranking fifth in snaps and amassing just two receptions for 18 yards (three targets) through three weeks. He could see the field a bit more in Week 4 with the news that fellow wideout Marvin Mims Jr. (hip) is questionable with a hip injury. The 22-year-old was highly touted in camp, but for the time being, teammates Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin are the only Broncos' pass catchers worth starting. He'll land as RotoBaller's PPR WR105 ahead of Monday night's doubleheader.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs running back Brashard Smith doesn't project to be a factor for fantasy when his team takes the field against the visiting Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. With teammates Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt essentially splitting all of Kansas City's backfield work, the rookie is left scraping for scraps, as he's yet to handle more than two touches or eight snaps in any appearance. There was some speculation that Smith would take on a heavier role with his backfield mates lacking explosivity. However, he doesn't quite yet have the complete trust of his coaches. The 22-year-old is a dynamic athlete capable of game-breaking plays, but his services can't be depended on for fantasy until he picks up a larger workload. Smith is a better stash in dynasty formats.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel had only two catches (three targets) for 11 yards in the first three games of the 2025 campaign. Christian Kirk missed two contests to begin the year, so there was an opportunity for others to step up. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Kirk's absence didn't do anything to benefit Noel, who logged a season-low nine offensive snaps in Week 3. With that in mind, it appears the rookie will see most of his action on special teams, making him nearly irrelevant for managers in any fantasy format heading into the Week 4 matchup with the Tennessee Titans.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (wrist) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of the Week 4 matchup with the 49ers. Thomas has been battling a wrist injury. Fortunately, he logged full practices throughout the week. Thomas had a stellar rookie year, amassing 87 catches (133 targets) for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. However, he struggled in the Jags' first three games of the 2025 campaign, catching only seven passes for 115 yards. With that in mind, Thomas has been targeted 25 times this season, so it's obvious he remains a go-to option for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. While the 22-year-old still can't be trusted fully from a fantasy standpoint, there's really not a scenario where managers can feel comfortable keeping him out of the starting lineup, especially considering his upside. It's also worth noting that Dyami Brown (shoulder) may not play.

The Los Angeles Chargers elevated running back Kimani Vidal to the active roster on Saturday ahead of the Week 4 matchup with the Giants. Last season, the 24-year-old logged 43 carries for 155 yards, adding five catches (nine targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown. However, he hasn't appeared in a game for the Bolts through the first three weeks of the 2025 campaign. With Najee Harris (Achilles) done for the rest of the year, Omarion Hampton should see even more work out of the backfield. While Vidal could get some touches alongside Hassan Haskins in the Week 4 meeting with the New York Giants, that won't make him a reliable option in any fantasy format. For now, managers can keep Vidal out of the starting fantasy lineup and off the roster altogether.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins logged a season-high seven offensive snaps in the Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos. Unfortunately, his increase in playing time came at the expense of Najee Harris (Achilles), who will miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign. As a result, Omarion Hampton is expected to see even more work out of the backfield moving forward. With Harris out of the equation, the No. 2 spot is up for grabs. As of now, Haskins could be the favorite to get some touches behind Hampton, even with the team elevating Kimani Vidal to the active roster. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the 25-year-old to see enough involvement to make him even a semi-relevant option in any format, especially since he hasn't recorded a carry yet this season. Keep him benched (and off the roster entirely) for the Week 4 meeting with the New York Giants.
