Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz could be in line for increased usage in Week 4. The veteran has been steady to start his 13th season, catching 12 of 16 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns. That role may expand if star wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) is forced to miss Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Ertz has a history of success against Atlanta, posting six catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns in last year's meeting. If McLaurin sits and quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee) returns to the lineup, Ertz would be positioned to have another big week against the Falcons. In that scenario, Ertz moves from a solid streaming option to a must-start fantasy tight end in Week 4.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams has had a quiet start to his NFL career. Through three games, he has caught both of his targets for 20 yards and has yet to play more than 10 snaps in a game. Williams currently sits behind Kayshon Boutte, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas on the depth chart, leaving him buried in the receiver rotation. The situation is made worse by the Patriots' offensive tendencies, as four of their top six leaders in receiving yards are tight ends or running backs. It's clear that Williams isn't a meaningful part of the passing attack yet, and his fantasy value is virtually nonexistent. Williams can safely be dropped in all redraft formats, though he still carries some long-term appeal in dynasty or keeper leagues.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary is expected to step into the RB2 role following Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s shoulder injury. Singletary saw limited work in Week 3, carrying four times for 11 yards in the Giants' 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Tracy is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a dislocated shoulder, leaving veteran Singletary as the primary backup. Rookie Cam Skattebo has firmly established himself as the Giants' lead back, racking up 180 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 29 touches over the last two games. That means Singletary will serve as the team's RB2 until Tracy returns to action. For fantasy purposes, Singletary has relevance as insurance, but he's not a viable starting option in any format unless injuries push him into a larger role.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) remains on injured reserve after exiting in Week 1. Kittle scored an early touchdown before leaving the game and was placed on IR shortly afterward. His earliest return date is Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though his fantasy outlook is now clouded in the 49ers' crowded receiver room. With rookie Ricky Pearsall emerging, Jauan Jennings performing when healthy, and Christian McCaffrey leading the team in targets, Kittle may not return to the same dominant workload he had in 2024. Brandon Aiyuk is also tracking toward a late-season return, which could further limit his target share. While Kittle still carries name value and touchdown upside, he might not reclaim elite fantasy status. If he returns strong in midseason, he could be a smart sell-high candidate before the 49ers' offense becomes even more crowded.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has seen his role expand over the past two weeks. After being held without a catch in Week 1, Washington has since drawn 16 targets, catching nine passes for 110 yards. His playing time has increased, thanks in part to Travis Hunter taking on a heavier defensive workload, playing 65% of defensive snaps in Weeks 2 and 3, compared to just 9% in Week 1. Washington's opportunity grew even further in Week 3 when Dyami Brown exited with a shoulder injury, allowing Washington to play 71% of the snaps. If Brown misses additional time, Washington stands to be the primary beneficiary. For fantasy managers, Washington is not a locked-in starter, but with Hunter focusing more on defense and Brown banged up, he's emerging as a name to watch in Week 4 and beyond.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins isn't expected to see a significant role increase despite recent injuries in the backfield. Haskins has yet to log a touch in 2025 and has primarily operated as the RB3 behind rookie Omarion Hampton and veteran Najee Harris. With Harris suffering a torn Achilles in Week 3's win over the Denver Broncos, the RB2 job is now up for grabs. Second-year back Kimani Vidal, who has been a healthy scratch through the first three games, could push for that role. Vidal filled in effectively last season when J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards were sidelined, making him the more likely candidate to step into the rotation. Haskins remains most valuable to the Chargers on special teams, leaving him without meaningful fantasy appeal.

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Zavier Scott made his presence felt in the team's 48-10 blowout win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Scott logged eight carries for 30 yards and added a 20-yard reception, playing 28% of the snaps in Week 3. With veteran Aaron Jones sidelined by a hamstring injury, Scott helped fill the void and looked comfortable in his role. The rookie flashed upside in the preseason, totaling 157 scrimmage yards on 27 touches across three games, and he now appears to have taken the RB2 role behind starter Jordan Mason. While Mason remains the clear workhorse, Scott's growing involvement makes him a player to keep an eye on. From a fantasy perspective, Scott is not yet a must-add, but he's on the radar in deeper leagues as his role continues to expand.

The Indianapolis Colts coaching staff is putting faith in second-year wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. A 2024 second-round pick, Mitchell struggled as a rookie, catching just 23 of 55 targets for 312 yards and failing to score a touchdown. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter expressed confidence in his development, saying, "When AD's number is called, AD is going to be ready for action." Mitchell could see a bigger role this week with Alec Pierce in the concussion protocol. Last season, Pierce missed one game, during which Mitchell played 89% of the snaps (his second-highest total of the year) but managed only one target that went for 36 yards. If Pierce is sidelined, Mitchell would likely slide into the WR3 role and could become a factor in the Colts' passing attack. For fantasy purposes, Mitchell remains off the radar outside of deep leagues, but his situation is worth monitoring if Pierce misses significant time.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin caught two of his three targets for 64 yards while adding a rush for four yards in their 31-14 blowout loss to the Bears. Turpin saw more action in this game after CeeDee Lamb left with an injury. He ran 70% of the routes, which was third on the team behind Jalen Tolbert and George Pickens. Turpin made a tough catch after taking a big hit for an explosive gain down the sideline and has plenty of speed to threaten the defense vertically. Most of his usage last year came as a ball-in-hand guy with screens and underneath passes. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer could opt to incorporate that more with their best YAC threat, Lamb, who will be sidelined for a few games. That gives Turpin some short-term appeal in deeper leagues to see how the receiver usage shakes out.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson rushed for 28 yards on a team-most 11 carries during Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the rookie was incredibly inefficient, he was still trusted as the primary option out of the backfield after Rhamondre Stevenson lost two fumbles and Antonio Gisbon and Drake Maye each fumbled once. Henderson's ball security made up for his lack of efficiency, and given that Stevenson's fumbling issues are nothing new, the second-round pick may be in line to lead the backfield once again in Week 4. His 46 percent snap share last Sunday paints a picture of what his usage might look like next week. Fantasy managers will want to see his yards per carry and red-zone usage both increase before trusting him in lineups, but on a positive note, his ball security, pass catching, and blocking have all been quite dependable. He's trending upward and ranks as a fringe top-36 fantasy running back for this week's clash with Carolina.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams continues to produce at a high level despite vying for opportunities alongside a star-studded group of teammates, including Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua. Adams caught three of his eight targets for 56 yards in Week 3, making up for his low reception total with modest yardage and a big score. He now has 213 yards and two touchdowns this season, ranking as the overall WR14 in PPR leagues. At the same time, Williams is the overall RB15 and Nacua is the overall WR1, so it's not like Adams has the show all to himself. Nevertheless, the talented veteran receiver is producing at a high level within a strong offense during his age-32 season. He remains in must-start territory for the rest of the season, regardless of matchup. A potential shootout against the Eagles in Week 4 bodes well for Adams' fantasy value.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has seen his snap share increase every week so far. However, his target, reception, and yardage totals have declined every week. To this point, the more he's on the field, the less he has been involved. This is unlikely to continue going forward, as his playing time and volume should start to balance out. Nevertheless, his fantasy value has been somewhat underwhelming, as he ranks as the overall WR58 in PPR leagues through three weeks. He caught just three passes for 23 yards last Sunday, and things won't get any easier for him in Week 4 against a Panthers defense that just shut out the Falcons. Diggs is worth scooping up off the waiver wire given his consistency and veteran presence, but it's hard to justify starting him in leagues with 14 teams or fewer.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte led the position groups last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, getting on the field for 56 snaps, which equated to a 76 percent snap share. Boutte saw the field for at least 10 snaps more than each of his fellow receivers, and the only pass-catcher who out-snapped him was tight end Hunter Henry. Despite playing more than three quarters of the snaps this season, the LSU product has failed to replicate the Week 1 showing in which he caught six passes for 103 yards. Over his last two games combined, he has just three catches on four targets, though he did add a touchdown along the way. Boutte's snap share suggests he should be a low-end WR3/flex option, but his volume and production indicate that he should be left on the bench. For now, managers should oblige and leave the 23-year-old on the bench in most fantasy leagues. However, his ability to get on the field does spark some optimism.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 16 of 23 passes for 139 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots. It was a low-play volume day for the Steeers, running only 49 plays to the Patriots' 71. Rodgers checked down to running back Jaylen Warren most often, leading the team with six targets. But he did find both top wide receiver options in D.K. Metcalf and Calvin Austin III for touchdowns. He's established a solid connection with Austin in the early going, and he could be a valuable piece for them to help generate explosive plays. The upside for Rodgers with the Pittsburgh offense is not interesting enough for fantasy purposes, and he is best left on the waiver wire in standard redraft leagues and viewed as a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz completed 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns while adding two rushes for four yards in Minnesota's 48-10 rout of the Bengals. He also took three sacks for a loss of 19 yards. Wentz made his first non-Week 18 start since New Year's Day in 2023 with the Washington Commanders, when he had one of the worst games of his career, throwing for only 143 yards and tying a career high of three interceptions in a 24-10 loss to the Browns that essentially eliminated Washington from the playoffs. Wentz managed the offense well in this game; however, targeting Justin Jefferson most often and finding tight end T.J. Hockenson for a touchdown to get him going. There will inevitably be some frustrating moments with Wentz, but he will be able to operate Kevin O'Connell's offense at a competent level with the assortment of weapons at his disposal, plus Jordan Addison returning from suspension in Week 4. There's a chance he keeps it for the rest of the season if he plays well and the winning continues. He should be viewed as a priority pickup in most superflex leagues.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor hauled in four of his five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in their 41-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. Ayomanor continues a productive start to his NFL career with five targets in each game and scoring again after his highlight first touchdown last week. He tied veteran Calvin Ridley for the team lead in targets in Week 1 with seven, tied Ridley and Chig Okonkwo in Week 2 with six, and then dropped down slightly to third against Indianapolis behind Okonkwo and Ridley with five. So the fourth-round rookie is running a full number of routes and earning volume right out of the gate. There is a lot to like with Ayomanor's start in the NFL and his prospect profile, putting him in the WR3/WR4 range with some upside moving forward, but Tennessee's offense will likely continue to struggle moving the ball.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten scored a touchdown for the second straight week in his team's 17-10 Week 3 win over the Houston Texans. The 23-year-old finished the game with six carries for 21 yards and a score, and has now logged 106 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 19 total touches this season. Tuten remains behind veteran running back Travis Etienne Jr. in the Jaguars' backfield pecking order. Still, Tuten has consistently flashed high-end upside and may be able to steal touches away from Etienne Jr. as the season progresses. Tuten should be rostered in all league formats, and he profiles as a low-end RB3/flex option in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt logged 10 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown in his team's 22-9 Week 3 win over the New York Giants. Hunt has rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries this season, adding four catches for 23 yards on five targets as well. While the 30-year-old has not been efficient on a per-touch basis, he could still be slowly stealing a larger share of the workload from Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco. Over the last two weeks, Hunt has recorded 20 touches, compared to 22 for Pacheco. Hunt may not have a ton of fantasy upside, but he should be rostered in deep leagues. In a tough Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, both Chiefs' backs profile as low-end RB3/flex options.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson was targeted a whopping 14 times in his team's Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears, hauling in 13 catches for 82 yards. Ferguson now has 27 catches for 183 yards on 32 targets through his first three games of 2025. With star Dallas wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) potentially facing a multi-week absence due to a high ankle sprain, Ferguson should be expected to maintain a sizable role in the Cowboys' passing game. The 26-year-old faces a tough matchup in the Green Bay Packers' defense in Week 4. Still, Ferguson profiles as a must-start tight end and is a priority waiver wire target in any league where he remains available.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney drew 11 targets in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers, three more than No. 1 receiver Drake London. Unfortunately, he was onlyable to haul in four of those targets, tallying 44 yards in the process and no scores. The 27-year-old's involvement is encouraging, but it seems that after three weeks, Michael Penix Jr.'s efficiency (47.9 QBR - 20th) and short passes (6.1 yards per attempt - 24th) are going to limit the entire receivingcorps in terms of receptions, yardage, and touchdowns, at least in the short term. On occasion last season, Mooney outtargetedLondon, but he earned double-digit targets just one time in 16 games played (compared to eight times for London), so this typeof target share should not be expected goingforward. Nevertheless, it appears the Tulane product is fully healthy after missing Week 1 with a shoulder injury, and he should settle in as an every-week PPR Flex option at a minimum. The 5-foot-11 wideout gets a favorable home matchup in Week 4 against the Commanders in what should be a competitive game, as Washington is only 1.5-point favorites early in the week.
