Jaylen Warren, Aaron Jones and Bucky Irving draw favorable Week 4 matchups, while several big names carry sit risk We got the Jeremiyah Love breakout game we were waiting for in Week 3 at San Francisco, and there's (hopefully) no turning back now. He's a must-start running back in all leagues in Week 4 at the Giants. Against the 49ers, Love had 21 carries for 90 yards and five catches for 19 yards and a touchdown on five targets. He played a season-high 64 percent of the snaps, and hopefully, Tyler Allgeier will remain in a backup role moving forward. This week, Love faces a Giants defense that has already allowed three running backs (Javonte Williams, Kyren Williams and Tony Pollard) to score at least 13.6 PPR points, and Love should produce at that level or higher in Week 4. It's exciting to see Love in a featured role. And he should be an amazing asset for Fantasy managers for the rest of the season.

Malik Nabers gets a favorable matchup to turn things around, while Josh Downs and Michael Wilson headline the Week 4 starts Fantasy managers are worried about Malik Nabers after two bad games, which is understandable since Jaxson Dart (knee) is out for the season. But let's relax heading into Week 4 against Arizona. Nabers is still worth starting in the majority of leagues. He looked fine in Week 1 with Dart against Dallas, with six catches for 69 yards on nine targets. It was an awful game in Week 2 at the Rams with one catch for 1 yard on four targets, but Dart was injured in that game, along with Nabers dealing with a shoulder injury. In Week 3, Nabers had five catches for 26 yards on six targets in his first start with Jameis Winston against Tennessee, but that game was played in poor weather. And here we are. I'm hopeful this game against the Cardinals turns into a track meet, and we get the full Winston experience of over-targeting his No. 1 receiver. That would be great for Nabers.

The NFL of week 4 is not the NFL of week 1. With dozens of stars already placed on the injured reserve, news flash — the honeymoon phase has ended. As players work to settle into their new roles and face their team’s new realities, we will see who's going to shine and who's going to fall apart when the lights get bright. Washington Commanders Quarterback Marcus MariotaMariota put on a show for the ages this past week against one of — if not the — best team in football and the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks. Mariota threw for three touchdowns in his first start in place of the injured Jayden Daniels. Entering this week against a much weaker defence in the Indianapolis Colts, I’d be willing to take a risk and put my bet on the backup that just torched the defending champs. Plus, Mariota is rostered in only 3.3 per cent of ESPN fantasy leagues. Carolina Panthers Receiver Tetairoa McMillanThe wide receiver 1 spot has been a battle in Carolina to start the season, but it looks like we have found the superior panther. Tet faces a weak Lions secondary, who ranks last in yards allowed per game with opposing teams averaging 299.3 yards per game.
