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:
David Montgomery is injured, and the Packers are poor versus the run.
DET: WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
GB: RB Aaron Jones (if he plays), WR Christian Watson (if he plays).
Sit Em:
Even if Aaron Jones is out. The Lions are solid against the run.

Atlanta Falcons (2-1) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2)

Christian Kirk isn’t playing in two-receiver sets anymore, but Zay Jones is hurt.
ATL: RB Bijan Robinson, WR Drake London, TE Kyle Pitts.
JAX: QB Trevor Lawrence, RB Travis Etienne, WR Calvin Ridley, TE Evan Engram.

Miami Dolphins (3-0) at Buffalo Bills (2-1)
Start Em:
MIA: QB Tua Tagovailoa, WR Tyreek Hill, WR Jaylen Waddle.
BUF: QB Josh Allen, RB James Cook, WR Stefon Diggs, WR Gabriel Davis.
Sit Em:
Minnesota Vikings (0-3) at Carolina Panthers (0-3)
Start Em:
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 has been a big disappointment thus far.
Denver Broncos (0-3) at Chicago Bears (0-3)
Start Em:
A great matchup for Russell Wilson.
The Broncos have the worst defense in the NFL, so it’ll be difficult for Justin Fields to struggle.
DEN: WR Jerry Jeudy, WR Courtland Sutton.
CHI: WR D.J. Moore, TE Cole Kmet.
Sit Em:
I can’t trust Javonte Williams because of his ACL tear.

Baltimore Ravens (2-1) at Cleveland Browns (2-1)
Start Em:
Zay Flowers is the real deal and will continue to be highly productive.
Jerome Ford has looked great in relief of Nick Chubb.
BAL: QB Lamar Jackson, TE Mark Andrews.
CLE: WR Amari Cooper.
Sit Em:
I can’t see Justice Hill scoring two touchdowns again.
I can’t envision using Odell Beckham Jr. without seeing him be productive.

Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) at Houston Texans (1-2)
Start Em:
C.J. Stroud could have plenty of garbage-time stats.
Tank Dell is quickly becoming a big part of the passing game.
PIT: WR George Pickens, TE Pat Freiermuth.
HOU: RB Dameon Pierce, WR Nico Collins.
Sit Em:
Najee Harris is not very good, and he has lost receiving work to Jaylen Warren.

Los Angeles Rams (1-2) at Indianapolis Colts (2-1)
Start Em:
Kyren Williams is the Rams’ new lead back.

Sit Em:

Washington Redskins (2-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-0)
Start Em:
How can the Eagles keep D’Andre Swift off the field?
WAS: WR Terry McLaurin.
PHI: QB Jalen Hurts, WR A.J. Brown, WR DeVonta Smith, TE Dallas Goedert, Eagles Defense.
Sit Em:
The Eagles have been stout against the run this year.

Start Em:
CIN: RB Joe Mixon, WR Ja’Marr Chase, WR Tee Higgins.

Start Em:
ARZ: RB James Conner (PPR).
SF: RB Christian McCaffrey, WR Deebo Samuel, WR Brandon Aiyuk, TE George Kittle, 49ers Defense.

Sit Em:
