As we enter Week 4 of the NFL season, it’s crucial for fantasy managers to remain adaptable. Whether you’re riding high at 3-0 or struggling at 0-3, there’s still plenty of time to make your mark before the fantasy playoffs.
The key to success lies in finding those hidden gems that could provide a significant boost to your lineup.
Week 4 sleepers to consider
Daniel Jones, QB, New York Giants (vs. DAL)
While Daniel Jones might not be the most glamorous choice for your quarterback spot, his performance over the past couple of weeks has been commendable.
He has thrown for 414 yards, secured four touchdowns, and avoided interceptions.
With the Cowboys giving up an average of 372.7 total yards per game-the fourth most in the league-this matchup presents a golden opportunity for Jones and the Giants to shine.
If you’re in need of a QB this week, consider taking a chance on him.
Jerome Ford, RB, Cleveland Browns (at LV)
Jerome Ford may have had a rocky start to the season, but he’s bounced back to reclaim his role as the Browns’ lead back.
Facing a Raiders defense that has allowed an average of 5.6 yards per carry, Ford could take advantage of this favorable matchup.
Although we might not see a blowout performance like Hubbard’s last week, the close game script could keep Ford heavily involved throughout the contest.
Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers (vs. MIN)
Despite a slow start to the season, Christian Watson has the potential to make an impact with the return of quarterback Jordan Love.
His only touchdown this season came in Week 1 with Love under center, so this reunion could spark a much-needed breakout for Watson.
The Vikings’ defense, while solid thus far, may struggle to contain him if he gets rolling.
Tyler Conklin, TE, New York Jets (vs. DEN)
While Tyler Conklin hasn’t found the end zone yet this season, his performance against the Patriots was noteworthy, recording five catches for 93 yards.
With the Broncos likely focusing their defensive efforts on the Jets’ wide receivers, Conklin could slip under the radar and find success this week.
He’s worth considering as a tight end option, particularly if you’re looking for a low-risk, high-reward player.
Defense sleeper
In the realm of defensive streaming options, the Miami Dolphins stand out as they prepare to face the struggling Tennessee Titans, led by Will Levis.
The Titans’ offense has been unable to sustain drives, making Miami an appealing option.
As you finalize your lineup for Week 4, keep these sleeper picks in mind. They may just provide the spark you need to propel your fantasy team to victory!
