WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Operating again | Broad receiver | Tight finish | D/ST | Kicker

Dalvin Prepare dinner damage replace

Mike Zimmer made it look like Prepare dinner was going to play in Week 3 regardless of his ankle damage. He was in the end dominated inactive on recreation day, and Alexander Mattison stuffed in and performed effectively in his absence. We’re undecided if Prepare dinner goes to play in Week 4 simply but, however with Mattison being so efficient, there is a chance the Vikings will not rush him again. As all the time, keep tuned for updates, however this case will most likely be prefer it was final week, with Prepare dinner listed as “questionable” and announcement on Sunday morning.

In the meantime, Mattison is a superb play if Prepare dinner is inactive once more. In opposition to Seattle, Mattison noticed 32 touches and netted 171 yards. He was the RB7 in each customary and PPR, so good job should you drafted him as one of many league’s high handcuff RBs. Both beginning RB is a must-start, however Cleveland’s protection figures to be a notch forward of Seattle’s, so knocking on the door or 200 yards from scrimmage is not as possible.

For now, we’re setting our rankings as if Prepare dinner goes to go, and we’ll alter accordingly if he is dominated out actually within the week. He is our RB3 in PPR leagues and in customary leagues for Week 4.

WEEK 4 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Operating again | Broad receiver | Tight finish | D/ST | Kicker

Darrell Henderson damage replace

Henderson (ribs) missed Week 3, however his damage isn’t anticipated to proceed to carry him out. It is doable we’ll see him as early as Week 4, but when he is out for that recreation, he ought to undoubtedly be able to go for Week 5 barring any setbacks. With out Henderson’s companies towards Tampa Bay, Sony Michel wasn’t environment friendly, however he did get a workhorse function. He totaled 23 touches for 79 yards towards a troublesome Buccaneers’ entrance seven.

If Henderson is again for the matchup with the Cardinals, he’ll be an fascinating play. The Cardinals’ protection has been middle-of-the-pack towards working backs, and Henderson was dominating touches when he was energetic. Nonetheless, the Rams would possibly decide to make this an air assault, as Arizona’s secondary is far weaker than their entrance seven. If this recreation turns right into a shootout, there might be little work for working backs.

That stated, we ranked Henderson because the RB27 in customary leagues and RB34 in PPR for Week 4.

Josh Jacobs Damage Replace

Jacobs (toe, ankle) has missed two straight video games, however Jon Gruden reportedly is anxious for his return. The crew is hoping Jacobs can observe this week, and he’ll get an additional day to prepare since they will tackle the Chargers on Monday night time. At this level within the week, we’re not sure whether or not he’ll play, however we’ll proceed to comply with updates. If he misses the sport, Peyton Barber seems to be the lead man within the floor assault for Las Vegas.

If Jacobs fits up, now we have him as our No. 18 RB in customary and No. 23 RB in PPR towards a Chargers’ crew that has given up the Eleventh-most fantasy factors to working backs.

Elijah Mitchell Damage Replace

Mitchell (shoulder) is in an identical boat as Jacobs. The 49ers are hoping he’ll observe, however we do not have rather more info than that. What we do know — the Seahawks’ protection is dangerous in any respect three ranges. If Mitchell does play, he ought to see some good working lanes en path to a profitable day. If not, Trey Sermon figures to be the lead again once more for Kyle Shanahan’s offense, however he did not look all that spectacular towards the Packers in Week 3. Mitchell is certainly the RB you wish to be concentrating on on this backfield.

Mitchell is our RB19 in customary and RB22 in PPR leagues for Week 4. If Sermon is getting the beginning, he’ll possible be ranked somewhat bit beneath Mitchell is now based mostly on what we have seen to this point.
