Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 4:
Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is coming off a six-catch, 118-yard, one-touchdown effort in the Week 3 loss to the Chargers. He currently leads the team in receiving yards (185), receiving touchdowns (two), and targets (21).
Although some believed Troy Franklin was making his case to become the top wideout on the depth chart after catching eight passes for 89 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 versus the Colts, he fizzled against Los Angeles.
With that in mind, Sutton should remain quarterback Bo Nix's go-to receiving option, even with Evan Engram (back) expected to return for the Monday night meeting with the Bengals. While Sutton will presumably have some off weeks moving forward, especially with Nix having production issues, he can continue to be viewed as a starting option in any fantasy format in Week 4.
Jake Browning, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning will look to get the team back on track with a win over the Broncos on Monday night. With Joe Burrow (toe) out of the equation, Browning has gotten some action in the last two weeks.
Unfortunately, the signal-caller hasn't played well, combining for 381 yards, three touchdowns, and five interceptions off 40-for-59 passing. Granted, the offense wasn't operating the best even with Burrow under center.
Still, Browning is hard to trust in Week 4 and beyond, and that won't change anytime soon until the offense can get on the same page. Keep the signal-caller out of all fantasy lineups.
Bo Nix, QB, Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has had his share of ups and downs through the first three weeks of the season. He threw two interceptions and completed only 62.5% of his attempts in the Week 1 win over the Titans. While the signal-caller played much better in Week 2, his efforts weren't enough to lead Denver to another win.
Most recently in Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, Nix would finish that one by tossing for 153 yards and one touchdown off a rough 14-for-25 passing (56.0%). Without question, he hasn't been the most reliable fantasy quarterback. Although Nix has a chance to get it together on Monday night against the Bengals, a team that could be without Shemar Stewart (ankle) and Cam Taylor-Britt (hamstring), fantasy managers in single-QB setups will still be rolling the dice by starting him.
On the other hand, Box Nix should still find a home in Superflex lineups, especially with so many ailing quarterbacks around the National Football League as we close out Week 4.
RJ Harvey, RB, Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said that the team would like to get running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey 20 carries per game if that were realistic because the team "likes each of them that much." The Broncos have had nothing but good things to say about Harvey, whom they drafted in the second round for a reason this year.
However, despite the Broncos continuing to say they want a bigger role for Harvey, he's been stuck behind the veteran Dobbins in the RB pecking order through three weeks. The rookie's snap share has not gone over 33%, either, with Dobbins seeing a season-high 67% of the offensive snaps in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Harvey was an afterthought last week, carrying the ball twice for two yards, although he did catch a season-high three passes for 14 yards. Until further notice, the 24-year-old can't be considered anything more than a low-volume, low-upside RB3/flex in deeper fantasy leagues.
Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is coming off a quality year. Unfortunately, that success didn't follow him into the 2025 campaign. Through the first three weeks, the 25-year-old has 47 attempts.
However, he's only amassed 93 yards for a miserable 2.0 yards per carry. With that said, Brown can't necessarily take all of the blame for his inefficiency, considering the entire offense has struggled. That was even the case when Joe Burrow (toe) was on the field. The Bengals suffered a blowout loss to the Vikings in Week 3 after starting the season with a 2-0 record, so the club will look to get on track versus the Denver Broncos on Monday night.
Without question, Brown has plenty of upside for managers in any format. Still, until things on the offensive side of the ball are sorted out, Brown's presence in fantasy lineups in Week 4 (and beyond) is not without risk.
