Fantasy Football: Start Em, Sit Em: Week 4

Rather than quickly listing start em and sit em players on my Week 4 NFL Picks page, I thought I’d devote a page for this. Follow @walterfootball for updates.







Detroit Lions (2-1) at Green Bay Packers (2-1)

Start Em:
  • Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions
    David Montgomery is injured, and the Packers are poor versus the run.

  • Obvious Starts:
    DET: WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
    GB: RB Aaron Jones (if he plays), WR Christian Watson (if he plays).

    Sit Em:
  • A.J. Dillon, RB, Packers
    Even if Aaron Jones is out. The Lions are solid against the run.

    Start Em:
  • Christian Kirk, WR, Jaguars
    Christian Kirk isn’t playing in two-receiver sets anymore, but Zay Jones is hurt.

    JAX: QB Trevor Lawrence, RB Travis Etienne, WR Calvin Ridley, TE Evan Engram.

    Sit Em:

  • No one of note




    Minnesota Vikings (0-3) at Carolina Panthers (0-3)

    Start Em:
  • Adam Thielen, WR, Panthers
    Adam Thielen continues to be inexplicably productive. Plus, there’s a revenge narrative.

    MIN: RB Alexander Mattison, WR Justin Jefferson, TE T.J. Hockenson.
    CAR: RB Miles Sanders.

    Sit Em:
  • Jonathan Mingo, WR, Panthers

    Start Em:
  • Russell Wilson, QB, Broncos
    A great matchup for Russell Wilson.

  • Justin Fields, QB, Bears
    The Broncos have the worst defense in the NFL, so it’ll be difficult for Justin Fields to struggle.

  • Obvious Starts:
    DEN: WR Jerry Jeudy, WR Courtland Sutton.
    CHI: WR D.J. Moore, TE Cole Kmet.

    Sit Em:

    Sit Em:
  • Justice Hill, RB, Ravens
    I can’t see Justice Hill scoring two touchdowns again.

    Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) at Houston Texans (1-2)

    Start Em:
  • C.J. Stroud, QB, Texans
    C.J. Stroud could have plenty of garbage-time stats.

  • Tank Dell, WR, Texans
    Tank Dell is quickly becoming a big part of the passing game.

  • Obvious Starts:
    PIT: WR George Pickens, TE Pat Freiermuth.
    HOU: RB Dameon Pierce, WR Nico Collins.

    Sit Em:
  • Najee Harris, RB, Steelers
