Start / Sit2026 NFL Week 4

Start

• Braelon Allen (RB, NYJ) over Ollie Gordon II (RB, MIA). Allen will be the Jets' starting running back for Week Four against the Bears, who are allowing almost five yards per carry, while Gordon's date with the Vikings in Week 4 isn't exactly a matchup to target, since Brian Flores' defense will be a nightmare for Malik Willis and company.
• Jaylen Warren (RB, PIT) over Bucky Irving (RB, TB). With Dowdle sidelined last week, Jaylen Warren handled the bulk of the opportunities, playing 90% of the snaps and garnering 17 carries and four targets, and Dowdle is out again Thursday, while the Buccaneers are starting an undrafted rookie at QB this week due to Baker Mayfield's dislocated thumb.
• Keenan Allen (WR, IND) over Jaylen Waddle (WR, DEN). Allen has 20 targets through three games and just dropped 18.3 fantasy points on the Texans, while Waddle hasn't scored more than 12.5 PPG in a season since 2023.

Sit

• Jameson Williams (WR, DET). Williams remains a sit option after another middling fantasy performance (8.9 points) entering a tough matchup with the Panthers, who rank second against wide receivers.
• Tony Pollard (RB, TEN). Coming off his best fantasy performance of the year (13.6 points on 21 touches), Pollard might feel like a decent start, but the Titans are averaging 12.3 points per game (30th in the NFL) and are heavy underdogs against the Ravens in Baltimore.

Flex of the Week

Michael Wilson (WR, ARI). Wideouts with more targets than Wilson this season? Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Amon-Ra St. Brown, that's it. He has a winnable matchup against the Giants and is a good volume-based WR2 in Week 4.
