Tyreek Hill Could Sign With New Team Within Days
Free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill could have a new team within the next few days. Agent Drew Rosenhaus told Adam Schefter that he plans to begin negotiations with multiple teams Monday and said the Kansas City Chiefs are among those that have stayed in contact. The timing is interesting after Kansas City lost Rashee Rice to a hamstring injury and Tyquan Thornton to a dislocated ankle Sunday, but there is no indication yet that a reunion is close. Hill is still working back from the devastating left knee injury that ended his 2025 season after four games, when he caught 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown. Separate reporting has pointed to November as a possible return to game action, so signing somewhere would not necessarily mean Hill is ready to play immediately. RotoBaller has the 32-year-old at No. 55 in its Week 5 waiver rankings and recommends him as a stash in 14-team leagues.

Makai Lemon's Fantasy Stock Stalls Despite Bigger Opportunity
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Makai Lemon had a much cleaner path to targets Sunday, but it did not lead to a breakout. With DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown and Dallas Goedert all inactive, Lemon drew a season-high six targets and finished with three catches for 27 yards in the 24-20 loss to the Rams. Philadelphia's offense was a mess overall, managing only 172 total yards, so Lemon was hardly alone. Still, Darius Cooper caught both of Jalen Hurts' touchdown passes while Lemon was held below 30 receiving yards for the fourth straight game. He now has 10 catches for 65 yards without a touchdown this season. The increased targets were at least something to build on, but this was the kind of opening Lemon needed to turn into more. Instead, his fantasy value remains stuck after another quiet afternoon.

Darren Waller Comes Up Short in Favorable Spot
Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller had a favorable setup Sunday night and did very little with it. Waller caught three of six targets for 36 yards in the 32-26 win over Detroit, a disappointing result against a defense that had already allowed six touchdowns to tight ends through three games. The opportunity was there, too. Carolina played without Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette, while Bryce Young threw 41 passes for 329 yards. Waller still finished well behind Tetairoa McMillan, who dominated the passing game with 14 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran also played only 53% of the offensive snaps as Mitchell Evans and Tommy Tremble remained heavily involved. Waller has now gone two straight games without a touchdown after scoring twice in Week 2. With Carolina heading into its bye, his fantasy stock has cooled considerably.

George Holani Misses Chance to Gain Ground
Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani had an opening to make himself more relevant in Week 4, but very little came of it. With Jadarian Price on injured reserve, Holani finished Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers with seven carries for 18 yards and one catch for two yards. Emanuel Wilson took much better advantage of the available work, handling 21 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 39 yards and another score. That is a rough development for Holani after he showed some passing-game usefulness with five receptions for 48 yards in Week 3. Seattle was short-handed in the backfield and still treated him as a clear secondary option. Zach Charbonnet is eligible to return from the PUP list in Week 5, which could squeeze the available touches even further. Holani remains useful depth for Seattle, but his fantasy value took a hit after failing to capitalize on one of his better opportunities for increased work.

Kalif Raymond's Fantasy Floor Takes a Hit
Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond disappeared from the passing game in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets. Raymond caught both of his targets for six yards after drawing 21 targets over the first three weeks, a sharp drop for a player who had quickly become one of Chicago's most productive receivers. He entered Week 4 with 19 catches for 214 yards and a touchdown, then watched Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III all finish with at least four receptions and 57 receiving yards against New York. The Bears moved the ball all afternoon, so Raymond's quiet game cannot simply be blamed on a stalled offense. One bad week does not erase what he did in September, but two targets are enough to put a dent in the idea that his early volume was completely secure. Raymond still belongs on fantasy rosters in deeper formats, though his weekly floor looks much shakier coming out of Week 4.

Ollie Gordon's Big Day Solidifies Him as Lead Back in Miami
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II had nine carries for 100 yards and a touchdown, along with two receptions, in the 15-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Despite facing one of the NFL's top run defenses, Gordon produced at an elite level, averaging 11.1 yards per carry and breaking off multiple big runs in Week 4. The second-year back was listed as the RB2 on the team's depth chart behind Jaylen Wright, but that did not appear to be the case in Week 4, as Gordon played 56% of snaps while Wright played just 31%. With much easier matchups ahead, Gordon should be a solid FLEX play if he can keep gaining work. Fantasy managers should take notice of his big day against Minnesota, and he should be rostered in all leagues moving forward.

Tyreek Hill a Top Stash Amid Targeted November Return
Former Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill is rumored to be a possible reunion with the Chiefs. With injuries to both Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Tyquan Thornton (ankle), the Chiefs have reportedly contacted Hill's agent, according to The Athletic's Mike Silver. Silver also reported that Hill is targeting a November return after undergoing two surgeries for a significant knee injury sustained in Week 4 of the 2025 season. While it's unclear whether Hill will sign soon, the veteran receiver could contribute, and fantasy managers should take notice. With Kansas City interested in signing their former superstar receiver, he is a top stash for fantasy managers as he targets a November return.

Tank Bigsby Could See Larger Role with Barkley Injured
Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby could see an increased workload after Saquon Barkley's injury. Bigsby had 14 carries for 55 yards in the 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and, after suffering an undisclosed injury in the fourth quarter, could not return. Barkley left the game in the first quarter with a hamstring injury and will undergo further testing. If Barkley misses time, Bigsby would be in line to step up as the starter if he's healthy. Bigsby played 29 of 55 snaps and handled goal-line work and most of the early-down work, while Will Shipley factored in on third downs and obvious passing situations. Fantasy managers should monitor both Barkley and Bigsby, as Bigsby would be a solid FLEX play if Barkley misses time.

Emanuel Wilson Breaks Out as Lead Back with Charbonnet and Price Out
Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson had 21 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown, along with three receptions for 39 yards and another score in the 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. In his first start of the season, Wilson went off, scoring a career-high 25.5 half-PPR fantasy points in Week 4. With rookie running back Jadarian Price (chest) and Zach Charbonnet (knee) on injured reserve, Wilson became the clear starter, playing 60% of snaps and taking 76% of backfield opportunities. With no timetable for Charbonnet's return and Price out until at least Week 8, Wilson should be the lead back in the coming weeks. Fantasy managers should add Wilson on waivers, as he's an RB2 with both Charbonnet and Price out.

Jordyn Tyson Still Multiple Weeks Away from Returning
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) remains multiple weeks away from returning, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tyson suffered a hamstring strain during a joint practice in August and was placed on injured reserve, which will keep him out for at least four games. Schefter reports that Tyson is making good progress, but the Saints are taking a cautious approach to his injury, with Schefter marking Week 7 in Paris or Week 9 after the bye as potential return dates. Tyson has a significant injury history, including a major knee injury in 2022, followed by multiple hamstring strains in 2025 and this season. Tyson's fantasy managers should stay patient with the talented receiver, especially given the start quarterback Tyler Shough has gotten off to.

Saquon Barkley to Undergo Tests, Injury Does Not Appear Serious
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is set to undergo further testing, but it does not appear to be overly serious, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Barkley suffered a hamstring injury on the second drive of the 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. In four games this season, he has 36 carries for 182 yards and added just eight receiving yards on four catches, leaving two of those games early due to injury. With Barkley out, running backs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley carried the load, with Bigsby leading the backfield with 14 carries. However, Bigsby left for the locker room in the fourth quarter, and there's no word on the severity of his undisclosed injury. The Eagles travel to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5, where it's unclear whether Barkley will make the trip.

Lamar Jackson Scheduled to Undergo MRI
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to assess the severity of his ankle injury. Jackson was tackled awkwardly at the end of the first half and couldn't return in the 24-18 win over the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Jesse Minter said, "Hopefully, it's in a good spot," and added that the team discussed Jackson returning in the second half. In four games this season, Jackson has completed 68 of 96 passes for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception, while adding 144 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Ravens head on the road in Week 5 to take on the Atlanta Falcons, where it's currently unclear whether Jackson will be able to play on Sunday Night. Fantasy managers in Superflex leagues should consider adding backup Tyler Huntley in case Jackson misses time.

Dontayvion Wicks Falls Flat in Favorable Spot
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks recorded three catches and 18 yards on five targets in the team's 24-20 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Philly's offense struggled on Sunday, totaling 172 yards. It's no surprise, really, considering they were down four starters before the game began. Still, the attack couldn't get anything going after halftime, and no Eagles pass catcher recorded more than three receptions or 33 yards. Wicks' target share has been favorable -- acting as the second option at worst behind teammate DeVonta Smith (hamstring). Moreover, he'll get plenty of opportunities while Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) are shelved. However, with quarterback Jalen Hurts' erratic play, it's challenging to project Wicks for a reliable weekly floor. He'll get a dream matchup in a porous Jaguars pass defense next weekend in London.

Puka Nacua Roasts Eagles' D in Return From Injury
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught nine passes for 125 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old led all Rams pass catchers in Week 4 in yards, but running back Kyren Williams out-targeted him (13) and out-caught him (10). While it would have been nice to see him score in this one, it's encouraging that he wasn't limited by a groin/hip injury that kept him out of the prior two contests. Moreover, Nacua's return slid teammate Davante Adams back into a tertiary role in the offense, maintaining the former's ludicrous ceiling. Barring any setbacks, the former fifth-round pick of the 2023 NFL Draft will get another smash spot in Week 5 when LA takes on a susceptible Buffalo Bills defense. Nacua will be a high-end WR1.

Darius Cooper Benefits From Increased Role
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Darius Cooper caught three of seven passes for 33 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Philadelphia's offense entered Week 4 riddled with injuries, forcing Cooper into a more than 41% snap share for the first time in his career. In fact, the former undrafted free agent fell just a snap behind teammate Dontayvion Wicks (56) for the team lead. His yardage and receptions matched career highs, while his target total set a new high-water mark. It was decent production in a game in which quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for a paltry 93 yards. If fellow wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) misses another week, then fantasy managers can turn to Cooper as a nice DFS play. However, the latter is expected to slide back into a depth role once Smith returns. Philadelphia will line up for a date with Jacksonville in London next Sunday.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Scores Touchdown On Lone Catch In Week 4 Loss
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. caught one of his four targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 4 loss to the New York Giants. He was once again a ghostly presence -- or lack of a presence -- on a struggling team that fell to 1-3 on the season. His one catch was on an end zone fade route in which he made a nice over-the-shoulder grab, but it wasn't nearly enough for fantasy managers. 8.2 PPR fantasy points is hardly earth-shattering. Harrison is less of a part of the game script for his team as he was last year. The new coaching staff has repeatedly downplayed concerns about getting him the ball, and the results have been ugly. The matchup doesn't seem to matter, as it's been tight end Trey McBride and wide receiver Michael Wilson who have led the team's pass-catching room. Harrison is a drop candidate in many leagues, and there aren't many in which fantasy managers would benefit from sticking him in starting lineups moving forward unless something big changes with his usage. He remains a WR4 who shouldn't be started until he carves out a bigger slice of his team's target pie. A good chance for a bounce-back is coming in Week 5, though, as the Cardinals will face the Detroit Lions, who have one of the weakest pass defenses in the NFL.

Nico Collins Crushes Expectations With Monster Game In Return
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins absolutely dominated in fantasy football in Week 4, catching seven of his eight targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns. The only negative of his day was that he wasn't targeted more, as he was extremely productive and efficient in a game that turned into a shootout. Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley is a major cap to Collins' ceiling -- his day could have been much bigger if the offense was force-feeding him the ball. But Caley ensures the ball is spread around to the likes of TE Dalton Schultz and WRs Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte rather than hyper-targeting his most explosive playmakers. The results show in the final score, which was another loss for Houston. Their offense looked better than usual against a weak Cowboys defense. Collins was still absolutely dominant, and should continue to be so moving forward, but his production last week was unsustainable long-term on such a paltry amount of targets, considering Collins' talent and the game script. He's still a must-start fantasy WR1 for Week 5, when the Texans will take on the struggling Tennessee Titans.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Busts in Fantasy Football for Third Game In A Row
Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had his third game with just single-digit PPR fantasy points in a row this season. He rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught two of his four targets for 35 yards. The Commanders suffered another injury at quarterback, as backup QB Marcus Mariota (knee) exited the game with a knee injury, leaving third-stringer and rookie Athan Kaliakmanis to serve as signal-caller. It resulted in Washington getting blown out by the opposing Indianapolis Colts, which isn't a huge surprise. WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) missed the game, so it's no surprise the Commanders couldn't move the ball, which likely contributed to Croskey-Merritt's inefficiency. He's now averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on the season. He looks like the undrafted free agent signing that he is, and it's hard to imagine he keeps his lead RB role for long, but Washington hasn't functioned competently as an organization from a personnel standpoint recently. The Giants will head to Washington to take on the Commanders in Week 5. JCM is a bench candidate -- even as the starter, his ceiling and floor are both extremely low.

Dalton Schultz Posts Another Subpar Performance
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz caught both his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-30 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran entered Week 4's contest leading Houston in receptions (19), yards (205), and targets (25), but was vastly outperformed by Nico Collins and the wide receiver corps on a day when C.J. Stroud threw for 347 yards. Much of Schultz's production on the season stems from a monster 12-catch, 140-yard outburst against the Bengals in Week 2, and it's looking like that's the aberration for the 2026 campaign -- particularly with Collins back in the picture in his usual target-hog role. The 30-year-old will always be a fringy option at tight end, but his fantasy floor and ceiling take a hit as Houston's WR1 returns to full health. Next up, the Texans face a divisional meeting with the Titans on the road.

Travis Kelce Whisper-Quiet In Close Week 4 Win Over Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was almost invisible in his team's 30-27 thrilling victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. After smashing in multiple games to start the season, Kelce only saw four targets in Week 4, catching two of them for 15 yards. Maybe the 37-year-old veteran is no longer at the peak of his abilities as a football player, and is susceptible to strong defensive coverage. The Chiefs don't need him to have a massive game to win, as they have running back Kenneth Walker III, the most productive RB in the NFL, on their side. Kelce faced double coverages all day against Vegas, and they made it a huge part of their game plan defensively against the pass to shut him down. Even when he wasn't double-covered, the Raiders were sound defensively in covering him. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II was looking his way early and often, though, so Kelce should bounce back in Week 6. The Chiefs will rest up in Week 5, as they have an early-season bye. One week later, they'll face the Los Angeles Chargers, who Kelce has a history of absolutely destroying. He'll still be a must-start TE1 for that matchup.

Blake Corum A Non-Factor In Rams Comeback Win At Philadelphia
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum took a backseat to his team's lead back, Kyren Williams, in his team's big win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4. The backup carried the ball just five times for 14 yards and caught one of his paltry two targets for seven yards, finishing with 3.1 PPR fantasy points. It was the second time in as many games that he failed to make an impact in fantasy football, and it's not hard to see why when you look at game script and juxtapose it with the usage of these two running backs. When Los Angeles builds a safe lead against a team that isn't putting up much of a fight, they rely on Corum to help them chew the clock down and protect their lead. In crucial moments of close games against tougher opponents, the Rams lean on Williams, as he's a very reliable, high-IQ player that won't make crucial mistakes. He's cleaned up his fumbling issues substantially from two seasons ago, at least if last season is any indication. Corum is best left on the bench for Week 5, as the Rams will take on the Buffalo Bills, one of the NFL's best offenses. They're likely to lean heavily on Williams, as very few leads are safe against Josh Allen and co.
