Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was listed on the injury report with a right wrist injury, but practiced fully all week and was removed from the report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Mahomes was listed on last week's injury report with the same wrist issue, but practiced fully and played last week. The Chiefs quarterback completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts (60%) for 224 yards and a touchdown in the team's 22-9 victory over the New York Giants last week. Mahomes had his worst fantasy output of this season in Week 3 despite winning the game by a comfortable margin. The former MVP will get the chance to bounce back this week against another AFC powerhouse in the Ravens. Baltimore has been an advantageous matchup to begin the season, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks to start the year. The Ravens offense is also first in points per game this season, which makes this matchup a potential shootout. This game has an over/under of 48.5, making it tied for the second-highest total of the week. Mahomes should also benefit from the return of Xavier Worthy after he missed the last few games with a dislocated shoulder. Mahomes is ranked QB7 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a strong start. The stars are aligning for the Chiefs superstar to have a big game, and he is capable of delivering.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has led the way for the team through the first three weeks of the 2025 campaign. Many assumed RJ Harvey would have a more prominent role in the offense, although that hasn't happened, with the rookie receiving only two attempts in the Week 3 loss to the Chargers. Harvey will presumably see more involvement at some point moving forward. However, it appears Dobbins remains the favorite to handle most of the snaps out of the backfield, at least for now. The 26-year-old has 222 yards off 41 carries this season. Even better, he's found the end zone in each of Denver's first three games. All things considered, Dobbins should be classified as a must-start in all fantasy formats on Monday night versus the Cincinnati Bengals, a club that surrendered two rushing touchdowns to Jordan Mason in Week 3.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane could see more snaps on offense in Week 4 against Atlanta with multiple injuries at receiver. Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin) will both miss Sunday's game, which opens the door for Lane to step in and run more routes. The rookie ran 45% of routes in Week 2 with everyone healthy, and increased to 50% with Brown out of the lineup. There is some noise with his Week 3 number, as it was a blowout game script. But he could stand to see more with players injured, and after his stellar 90-yard punt return touchdown last week, which earned him the Pepsi Rookie of the Week honors. Week 4 against Atlanta will be a notable game for Lane and his role moving forward.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had a week to forget in Week 3, completing just 50 percent of his passes (18-for-36) with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the 30-0 blowout loss to the Panthers. The 25-year-old now has just a 1:2 TD:INT through three contests, with the lone touchdown coming on a 50-yard catch-and-run to Bijan Robinson in Week 1. The former first-rounder will have a home matchup withthe Commanders in Week 4, a defense that has yielded the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing QBs through the first three weeks, including a three-touchdown performance from an aging Geno Smith last week, and has only given up just one rushing scorethus far. Even so, Atlanta may try to lean on Robinson and the run game for as long as they can in this matchup, as the lefty QB has one of the lowest completion rates (58.6 percent), a poor QBR (71.3), low yards per pass attempt(6.1), and per completion (10.43). As a result, Penix sets up as a borderline QB2/3 in Week 4.

Although Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson was active in Week 3, he did not play a snap following a costly special teams error in Week 2. On Friday, head coach Mike Tomlin complimented the rookie's work ethic, stating that he has "positioned himself to be a contributor" in Dublin, Ireland against the Minnesota Vikings. Exactly how many offensive opportunities he will see remains unclear, though Tomlin confirmed that Johnson will not handle kick returns. With starter Jaylen Warren (knee) banged up, Johnson could mix in with veteran Kenneth Gainwell if all three backs are active. If Warren is limited or unexpectedly ruled out, Johnson's role could expand significantly. He is not a viable fantasy starter this week, especially against a strong Minnesota run defense, but the University of Iowa product is worth stashing ahead of Sunday's contest.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was limited to extra-point duties in Week 3's win over the New England Patriots but will look for more opportunities against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The Vikings have been stout defensively this season, especially near the red zone, allowing just four offensive touchdowns but seven field goals -- tied for sixth-most in the NFL. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers' offense still finding its footing, this international matchup in Dublin, Ireland is projected to be a low-scoring affair. That puts Boswell in a position to play a key role on Sunday morning and remain a must-start fantasy option.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. projects as a favorable fantasy option in Week 4 against the Falcons. Both other starting wide receivers, Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin), are out for the game. The passing game plan will likely feature a heavy dose of Samuel underneath and on crossing routes, setting him up for a productive day. Kliff Kingsbury will also look to replicate their dominance in the ground game from last week, and that could involve getting Samuel a few touches as a runner. He handled three carries for 18 yards last week and had his quietest game as a Commander, with just two receptions for 11 yards. Samuel looks like the focal point of the passing attack for Week 4 and should be fired up as a high-end WR2.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard was able to find the end zone for the first time this season during last week's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Pollard rushed the ball 16 times for 45 yards with one touchdown in the loss. It hasn't been a great start to the season for Pollard, but he has seen 16 rushing attempts or more in every game. The 28-year-old is clearly the workhorse back in Tennessee right now. The Titans have changed over play-calling duties, so hopefully that will help this offense. Pollard is a fine flex play for the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans.

Through his first three games of 2025, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is averaging just 4.2 yards per carry, significantly worse than the 5.6 yards per carry he posted in 2024. Still, Gibbs has been highly productive for fantasy, recording 253 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 61 total touches. The third-year back has been heavily featured in the passing game, ranking second on the team in targets (19) behind only star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. Gibbs gets a tough matchup in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns, who have allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL (172) through three weeks. Gibbs' involvement as a receiver gives him a steady floor, but he may struggle to find success as a rusher against the Browns. In Week 4, Gibbs profiles as a low-end fantasy RB1.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols had one of the highlight plays of the week with a beast mode-style run for a 60-yard touchdown last week against the Raiders. McNichols played the fewest of any Washington back at 23% and had only four carries, but he made the most of his opportunities. The 29-year-old is expected to fill in for Austin Ekeler as the team's third-down back because of his prowess as a pass protector and capability as a receiver. That opens the door for some dump-off passes and checkdowns, making him slightly intriguing. He will mix in occasionally on early downs and earn a few carries, but it won't be huge. McNichols is a desperation start against Atlanta in Week 4.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. led the backfield in carries last week against the Raiders and ran well overall, gaining 39 yards on 11 rushes. His role for Week 4 against Atlanta could look similar. In the team's first game without Austin Ekeler, Rodriguez surprisingly started at running back and began with four straight carries to begin the game. The rotation afterwards was a bit sporadic, with Rodriguez and Jacory Croskey-Merritt both splitting most of the work, and then Jeremy McNichols subbed in on pass downs and handled a few touches. The situation remains very fluid in Washington's backfield, and it could remain unclear for the coming weeks. Rodriguez is set up as the hammer back who can grind out tough yardage, and he tied Croskey-Merritt with two goal-line carries last week. There is upside for a touchdown plunge for Rodriguez in Week 4.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward (ankle, calf) is ready to go after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Ward was limited to begin the week due to multiple minor injuries, but is fine for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. It has been a slow start for the No. 1 overall pick. Ward has completed 54-of-99 passing attempts for 506 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in three games. It's worth noting that quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree will take over play-calling this weekend. Possibly, Hardegree can unlock something out of Ward that Brian Callahan couldn't. At the moment, Ward is really only worth a considering in superflex leagues.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been playing at a high level so far in 2025, completing 77.9% of his pass attempts for 761 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception through his first three games. Goff has a difficult matchup in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. Through three games, Cleveland has allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards in the NFL (521) and has recorded 11 sacks, tied for the fourth-most in the league. Goff may struggle to move his offense up and down the field against Cleveland as easily as he has over the past two weeks against the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens. In Week 4, Goff profiles as a solid fantasy QB2 in two-quarterback formats, but he should be avoided where possible in single-QB leagues.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Unsurprisingly, McCarthy won't play this weekend as he's expected to miss another week or two. However, head coach Kevin O'Connell mentioned McCarthy could get in limited work ahead of next week's contest versus the Cleveland Browns. It doesn't mean that McCarthy will play in Week 5, but getting on the field is the first step. The most likely scenario is that McCarthy returns after the bye in Week 7. In the meantime, Carson Wentz will be under center until McCarthy is healthy enough to play. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on McCarthy's status next week.

Washington Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (knee) practiced in full on Friday after two straight DNPs earlier in the week. Croskey-Merritt should be all good to go for Week 4's matchup in Atlanta (he's questionable on the final injury report) with the opportunity to see more work. He led the backfield with a 41% snap share and 23% route share while tying Chris Rodriguez Jr. with two goal-line carries. Rodriguez surprisingly started the game for Washington and led the team with 11 carries, clearly indicating that he will have a role. Croskey-Merritt will need to continue to gain the coaching staff's trust in pass protection before earning a bigger workload. He did, however, have a few positive moments as a pass blocker last week against the Raiders and has been continuously praised by the staff. Atlanta has been tougher on running backs through three weeks, allowing the eighth fewest fantasy points per game at 11.3. That puts Croskey-Merritt in RB3 territory for Week 4.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (concussion) was unable to practice on Friday. This marks back-to-back days that Fant has been unable to take the practice field. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried yet. The Bengals do get an extra day this week with their Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos coming on Monday night. That being said, Fant will get one more chance to practice on Saturday. If he misses Week 4, Mike Gesicki figures to handle the bulk of the snaps. However, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson could be mixed in as well, but they wouldn't be fantasy options.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) was a limited participant during Friday's practice session. This marks back-to-back days that Waller has been able to get through a limited practice. Waller is trending in the right direction to make his season debut against the New York Jets in Week 4. It seems likely that the Dolphins would ease Waller into action. The 33-year-old would probably be under a snap count during his first game. He's worth a stash for tight end needy fantasy managers, but isn't a recommended streaming option for Week 4.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has been quiet to start the season and will look to get back on track against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. While the Vikings have been middle-of-the-pack against opposing tight ends through three weeks, Freiermuth could see a boost in opportunities given Pittsburgh's injury report. Fellow tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) and running back Jaylen Warren (knee) are questionable to suit up after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Each has been a reliable short-area target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, so if either of them misses this international bout in Ireland, Freiermuth would likely absorb some of those looks. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation, but in a matchup that projects to be low-scoring, Freiermuth remains a risky play and is best considered a stash or backup option.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) was able to get through a full practice session on Friday. After being limited on Thursday, Reynolds has been upgraded to full, which puts him on pace to play this weekend. The 30-year-old has missed each of the last two games, but appears ready to return in Week 4. Reynolds played 97 percent of the snap count during the season opener. However, it's tough to trust any of the receivers on this roster outside of Garrett Wilson right now. Reynolds is best to be avoided for the Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota will start again in place of Jayden Daniels in Week 4 against the Falcons after making his first start of the season last week against the Raiders. Mariota led his team to a 41-24 win against one of his former teams and now will look to do the same on the road against another one of his former teams. He was super crisp in his first action since Week 18 of last season, completing 15 of 21 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown while running for 40 yards on six carries. It will be a tougher challenge this time as he will be missing star wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) and faces an Atlanta defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season at 12.3. Washington will likely follow a similar game plan to last week against Las Vegas, where they went very run-heavy, especially with multiple receivers out. He's not a recommended start in matchups this week.
