Fantasy football Week 4 TE preview: Starts, sits, waiver wire, DFS more
Kelce, Waller and Sadiq headline the top plays as the column highlights start-sit calls, streamers and matchup-driven value in full-point PPR leagues.
As the 2026 NFL season reaches Week 4, fantasy managers face critical roster decisions after three weeks of data. Expert rankings now prioritize players with secure roles and favorable matchups following early-season injuries.
Running back De'Von Achane is out for the season with a torn ACL, while wide receiver Justin Jefferson suffered a low-ankle sprain and is questionable for Week 4. These injuries have forced managers to scramble for replacement options.
Veteran tight end Travis Kelce averages more than 16 fantasy points per game, while New York Jets rookie Kenyon Sadiq posted 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. Darren Waller's route share climbed to 57%, making him a growing target.
Running back Bucky Irving of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faces a favorable matchup against the Green Bay Packers, while Braelon Allen of the New York Jets offers RB2 upside against the Chicago Bears allowing 117 rushing yards per game.
Defensive units like the Minnesota Vikings, leading the league in scoring defense at 12 points per game, remain top priorities for fantasy managers. The Baltimore Ravens offer streaming value against the Tennessee Titans, a struggling offensive unit.
