We are one month into the NFL season with Week 4 fantasy football in the books.\u00a0 Many players have disappointed fantasy managers, while others have had breakout performances.\u00a0 Let’s take a look at players that are rising and falling in the rest of the season rankings.<\/p>\n

Higgins is finally getting healthy and got back up to speed in Week 4.\u00a0 He saw a team-high 10 targets and caught 6 passes for 60 yards in the Bengals 34-24 win over the Carolina Panthers<\/a>.\u00a0 Higgins should continue to be more involved as the Bengals aim to turn their 1-3 start to the season around.<\/p>\n Irving saw a career-high 10 touches in Week 4, resulting in 55 scrimmage yards and his first career NFL touchdown.\u00a0 He split carries evenly with Rachaad White<\/a> after head coach Todd Bowles stated that Irving had earned the opportunity for more snaps.\u00a0 With White’s lack of efficiency on the ground, Irving’s goal-line opportunities should increase and could make him a weekly flex play for fantasy managers.<\/p>\n Brian Thomas Jr’s breakout is happening quickly.\u00a0 He’s seen 9 targets in each of the past 2 weeks after seeing 8 total through weeks 1-2.\u00a0 Having tallied his second touchdown in Week 4, Thomas Jr. is turning into one of the primary red-zone threats for this Jaguars offense.\u00a0 The Jaguars play the Colts in Week 5, which looks to be a juicy matchup for this emerging fantasy wideout.<\/p>\n Addison looked excellent in his return to the field, tallying 2 touchdowns in Week 4.\u00a0 The Vikings<\/a> look like one of the best teams in the league thus far, backed by Sam Darnold’s phenomenal quarterback play.\u00a0 Although Addison only saw 4 targets, his usage should ramp up and his big-play ability cannot be ignored.\u00a0 Managers should consider Addison a flex option as long as Darnold keeps moving the needle.<\/p>\n Hall and the entire Jets offense were abysmal in Week 4 in an embarrassing 10-9 loss to the Broncos<\/a>.\u00a0 Hall rushed 10 times for a mere 4 rushing yards, while back-up Braelon Allen continued to see more usage with 8 carries for 34 yards.\u00a0 While fantasy managers shouldn’t press the panic button on Hall yet, it’s evident the Jets offense needs a complete reset.\u00a0 Hall will face another tough test in Week 5 when the Jets take on the Vikings in London.<\/p>\n Despite going for 84 scrimmage yards in Week 4, White is falling in rankings due to the emergence of fellow rookie running back Bucky Irving<\/a>.\u00a0 White has been an inefficient runner on the ground this season and is beginning to lose redzone touches to Irving, hurting his fantasy value.\u00a0 Additionally, both Bucs’ wideouts Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are having fantastic seasons, further limiting White’s receiving work.\u00a0 White now looks to be in a split backfield and should only be considered a fringe fantasy starter moving forward.<\/p>\nBucky Irving – Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/h4>\n
