Tank Bigsby Belongs on the Bench in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby didn't record any carries and lost a fumble on his lone catch during last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Despite an ugly performance, Bigsby is expected to remain the primary backup to Saquon Barkley. The 24-year-old is unlikely to have a big role while Barkley is healthy. Bigsby carried the ball 13 times for 33 yards and a touchdown when Barkley went down with an injury in Week 2. He still profiles as a high-end handcuff option, but isn't someone that can be started while Barkley is healthy. Fantasy managers can leave Bigsby on the bench ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Tarik Skubal Notches First Win of 2026 Postseason on Saturday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal picked up his first win of the postseason on Saturday in his team's 5-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. The 29-year-old allowed just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven across six innings of work. Skubal was excellent in the regular season after being acquired by the Dodgers from the Detroit Tigers at this summer's trade deadline, recording a 5-2 record with a 2.61 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts across 62 innings (10 starts). The hard-throwing lefty also has an impressive resume in the postseason, allowing just 10 earned runs while logging 63 strikeouts across 45 2/3 career playoff innings (seven starts). Skubal's next scheduled start will be in Game 5 of the NLDS, if the series goes that far.

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele Suffers Possible Concussion
Cal star sophomore quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele was injured in the team's 31-39 loss to UNLV on Saturday. Sagapolutele exited the game after taking a scary head hit and did not return. The Cal standout was injured late in the first half and had already attempted 27 passes; he completed 19 for 195 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Junior transfer quarterback Jackson Brousseau stepped in for Sagapolutele with the team down 24-7 and led a valiant comeback, but fell short. Brousseau completed 19 of 32 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns. Cal head coach Tosh Lupoi said Sagapolutele was medically cleared, but he didn't feel comfortable putting him back in the game.

Stephen Curry to See Action Only in First Half of Warriors Preseason Opener
According to Anthony Slater of ESPN, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is expected to play only the first half of Sunday's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Clippers and will likely play just 12 to 16 minutes. Curry recently signed a two-year, $116 million contract extension in September. The star point guard averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.4 three-pointers in 30.9 minutes across 43 games last season as injuries limited his availability. Jimmy Butler III (knee) is expected to miss the start of the regular season, so Curry will likely carry a heavier workload early on.

Cameron Dickey Helped To Locker Room
Texas Tech star running back Cameron Dickey suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's matchup against Colorado. Early reports suggest it could be an ankle injury, but Texas Tech has not issued a specific statement. Dickey had carried the ball four times for 15 yards before the injury. Junior running back J'Koby Williams will likely carry a heavier load in Dickey's absence. The two had been in a near 50/50 split of the team's important carries, with Dickey getting the slight nod with 53 carries to Williams 46. Dickey was seen limping to the locker room with assistance from staff members, and it's unclear if he will return to the game.

Blake Corum Avoidable Against a Strong Eagles Run Defense
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is coming off a disappointing performance on the ground, and he'll continue to have a lower floor in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Corum turned in his worst snap share, rushing attempts total, rushing yards total, and efficiency of the young season last week, and although he caught two passes, it resulted in zero receiving yards. He clearly lost ground to Kyren Williams in the running back pecking order, and to make matters worse, he'll get a tough matchup in Week 4. The Eagles have allowed just one total touchdown and the 11th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2026. Philadelphia has been softer against the run than the pass, but we could still see Corum having trouble producing consistently given his relative struggles last week. Long-term, he's a strong handcuff with matchup-based RB3 appeal, but he can be left on the bench for this specific game.

Hank Brown Injury Not Considered Serious
Iowa quarterback Hank Brown left Saturday's game against Ohio State late in the third quarter. The Hawkeyes lost 31-14 as their offense was stifled for most of the game. Brown completed 12 of his 27 passes for 132 yards and had one interception before leaving the game. He appeared to hurt his arm or shoulder on a big hit from defensive tackle John Walker. After the game, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz didn't think the injury was too serious, but no official injury has been listed yet.

Mason Heintschel Will Miss Rest Of Season
Pitt quarterback Mason Heintschel will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in the team's thrilling OT win over Virginia Tech on Friday night. The sophomore quarterback was on pace to outperform his impressive freshman season before the injury. This season, Heintschel completed 66.2% of his passes for 1,304 yards, 14 touchdowns, and one interception. He had two incredible games in Week 1 and Week 4, throwing for seven and six touchdowns, respectively. Before the injury against Virginia Tech, he completed 10 of 18 passes for 113 yards and one touchdown. Senior quarterback Holden Geriner stepped in for Heintschel, and he completed 66% of his 12 passes for 78 yards and one touchdown.

DeMario Douglas Remains Off Fantasy Radars in Week 4 vs. Bills
New England Patriots wideout DeMario Douglas has fallen victim to a broken Patriots passing offense. Once a fantasy favorite in the community has now drifted off fantasy radars in 2026. The 25-year-old is the PPR WR84 overall and is averaging 4.6 PPR points per game. In addition, the Patriots offense looks like a shell of itself from a year ago, when Drake Maye was an MVP runner-up. As a result, Douglas enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR72 against an intriguing Buffalo Bills defense. The Bills defense has allowed the fifth-most receiving touchdowns (7) and the seventh-most receiving yards this season. This is a prime opportunity for the Patriots offense to jump-start their season. However, Douglas should remain out of the fantasy lineups in Week 4 and until the Patriots have a reliable passing game again.

Pat Bryant Hopes to Continue His Momentum in Week 4 vs. 49ers
Denver Broncos wideout Pat Bryant is coming off his best fantasy performance in 2026. The 23-year-old caught both his targets for 44 yards and landed in the end zone for 14.4 PPR points. However, Bryant has fallen victim to an inconsistent, shaky start by the Broncos' passing game and is teetering on being flex-viable in deeper leagues. As a result, Bryant enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR55 against a stout San Francisco 49ers defense. The 49ers defense has allowed the second-fewest touchdowns (3) and the 10th-fewest receiving yards this season. Bryant can be plugged into lineups as a desperation flex option in deep leagues for Week 4. He could become a reliable fantasy option for managers if the Broncos' passing offense becomes more consistent.

Isaiah Williams Expected to Handle Bigger Role vs. Bears
New York Jets wideout Isaiah Williams is expected to handle a larger role in the Jets' offense with Adonai Mitchell (finger) out of Sunday's contest. Williams was active last week and saw a season-high 89-snap percentage with two targets. The 25-year-old is expected to handle the WR2 role in an intriguing matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Bears defense allows an average of 207 passing yards per game and has allowed the fewest receptions this season. However, the Bears allowed 361 passing yards and surrendered three touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. As a result, Williams enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR75. Williams should remain out of lineups this week in all formats.

Darius Cooper in Line For Expanded Role vs. Rams
Philadelphia Eagles wideout Darius Cooper is in line for an expanded role in Philly's Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The team will be without their WR1, DeVonta Smith (hamstring), which leaves the door open for Cooper to get more work. Cooper was a training camp standout and earned a spot on the official roster this summer. The 24-year-old enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR77 in a tough matchup against the Rams. The Rams defense has allowed the second-fewest receiving yards and the third-fewest receptions of 20 yards or more through three games. Even in an expanded role, Cooper should remain out of fantasy lineups in Week 4.
