One of the most crucial parts of playing fantasy football is looking at the match-ups. Some players are matchup proof, like Aaron Rodgers or Antonio Brown, but not all players are fantasy matchup proof. Below are some fantasy football Week four starts and sits.
Fantasy Football Week Four Starts and Sits
Starts
Blake Bortles
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has struggled so far this season. He is currently the 15th ranked quarterback in the NFL and he is averaging 16 fantasy points per game so far. But in Week four Bortles has a solid matchup vs the Indianapolis Colts in London at 9:30 AM Eastern Standard time.
Kirk Cousins
Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins is coming off a solid Week two performance where he totaled 20 fantasy points. Cousins finally looked like the quarterback from last season. In Week four he has a great match up vs the Cleveland Browns who have been generous to opposing quarterbacks this season.
Jeremy Hill
Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill is coming off his best game of the season where he tallied 24 total fantasy points. Hill has a solid match up on Thursday night vs the Miami Dolphins who have been a decent matchup for running backs this season.
Christine Michael
Seattle Seahawks running back Christine Michael has finally shown the talent many thought he had. With Thomas Rawls being injured Michael should now be the featured back for the Seahawks, despite the team signing C.J. Spiller this week. Michael is coming off a solid Week three performance where he totaled 23 fantasy points. He has a solid match up this week vs the New York Jets. With the injury to quarterback Russell Wilson expect Michael to get plenty of touches on Sunday.
Marvin Jones
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones is proving why he was worth the big contract the Lions gave him in the off-season. Jones totaled 205 yards receiving and two touchdowns in Week three. Now he has a good matchup in Week four against the Chicago Bears who wide receivers have had success against this season.
T.Y Hilton
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is coming off a season high 176 receiving yards and a touchdown. Hilton has a favorable matchup vs the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week four. The game is in London and kicks off at 9:30 am Eastern Standard time.
Dennis Pitta
Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta had a pedestrian day in Week three when he totaled only 43 receiving yards. But in Week four Pitta is going up against the Oakland Raiders who are allowing the most fantasy points to tight ends this season.
Gary Barnidge
Cleveland Browns tight end Gary Barnidge is coming off a solid Week three performance where he totaled 66 receiving yards and caught a two point conversion. He has a favorable matchup vs the Washington Redskins this week. With all the injuries to the Browns, Barnidge should see plenty of targets in Week four.
Sits
Ryan Fitzpatrick
New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is coming off one of the most disappointing games of his career. Fitzpatrick threw six interceptions in Week three. This week he has a very tough matchup vs the Seattle Seahawks, who have one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL.
Eli Manning
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has an extremely tough matchup in Week four vs a very good Minnesota Vikings defense. Manning is only averaging 15 fantasy points per game this season and with this tough matchup he should be on the bench.
Jerick McKinnon
Jerick McKinnon is now the starting running back for the Vikings with the injury to Adrian Peterson. But the Vikings are mainly using a running back by committee approach which limits his touches. McKinnon also has a difficult matchup vs a surprisingly good New York Giants defense this week. The Giants are allowing the second fewest points to running backs this season.
Justin Forsett
Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett is having a slow start to the 2016 season. Forsett has only totaled 130 yards so far and he has yet to find the end zone. Forsett is also splitting carries with the other running backs in Baltimore. He has a decent matchup vs the Raiders in Week four but with Baltimore using the running back by committee approach he should remain on the bench in Week four.
Michael Floyd
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd was a breakout candidate for many this season. So far Floyd is averaging six points per game. But in Week four he has a difficult matchup vs the Los Angeles Rams who have been tough on wide receivers so far this season.
Jeremy Maclin
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is coming off a disappointing week where he totaled only three fantasy points. In Week four he has a tough matchup vs the Pittsburgh Steelers who are allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to wied receivers this season.
Delanie Walker
Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker missed last week’s game due to an injury. While he is expected back in Week four Walker has a tough matchup vs the Houston Texans, despite Texans defensive end J.J. Watt being moved to IR due to a back injury. The Texans are allowing the fourth fewest points to tight ends this season.
Charles Clay
Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay has a difficult matchup this week vs the New England Patriots. The Patriots have been one of the toughest defenses so far this season and Clay is only averaging two points per game this season.
