As we head into the fourth week of the fantasy football season, we are truly just getting rolling and there is much more work to do. No matter what your record is, managing a team requires a balanced approach of patience and determination right now. Many good NFL players with proven track records are going to perform as expected in the weeks ahead, and we will also see several rookies start to elevate their production. Even those fantasy players with losing records can turn things around quickly. You have to tackle the waiver wire with an aggressive approach, as there aren't many major impact available players available on free agency right now. But in terms of trades, don't panic and make a deal that doesn't bring the proper return. You cannot let other people in your league sense your urgency.
We provide a good mix of roster management tips this week, including players to pick up on waivers or in trades, and good starting options to lean to in tight lineup decisions. Players are listed in preference of whether to start, add or trade for them.
Running Backs
-Start Rashaad Penny at your flex position this week. Detroit has allowed an NFL-high six rushing touchdowns to running backs. The Lions have allowed 142.3 rushing yards per game, so Penny will come through with his best rushing performance of the season so far. Detroit has allowed 408 yards per game on defense, which ranks 28th in the NFL after three weeks. The Seahawks should move the ball effectively in Week 4 and will give Penny a chance to finish off a scoring drive or two with a TD run.
-Start Chase Edmonds in Week 4. He rushed for two TDs against Buffalo and should soon begin to produce more. He can be a dual threat as a runner and receiver. Look for Edmonds to contribute to your outlook significantly in a high-scoring game with the Bengals.
-Start Devin Singletary of the Bills. He caught nine passes for 78 yards in Week 3 at Miami, and he has another good pass-catching matchup coming up against Baltimore. The Ravens have allowed 26 receptions to running backs, third-most in the NFL.
-Trade for Austin Ekeler. He has 17 receptions in his last two games and he will face the Texans this week. Houston has allowed an NFL-high 478 rushing yards to running backs. Ekeler will always have a good statistical floor because of his elite receiving abilities and he should have his best rushing game of the season so far this week.
-Trade for Breece Hall of the Jets. He had 14 touches from scrimmage in Week 3 and the rookie's offensive role may continue to increase. New York's Week 4 opponent, the Steelers, have allowed 364 rushing yards per game to running backs, second-most in the AFC. You can consider Hall as a flex option if he is acquired this week.
-Trade for or add Kenneth Walker III. His dazzling 21-yard run in Week 4 fully displayed why Seahawks fans and fantasy players should look forward to the rookie displaying more of what he can deliver this season. If he ends up on your free agent list, add Walker immediately. Or now is a good time to trade for him before we see Walker supply some quality fantasy outings in the weeks ahead.
-Add Khalil Herbert of the Chicago Bears as a high priority move. He opened the season as one of the top No. 2 RBs on an NFL depth chart this season, and he exploded for 157 yards and a TD in Week 3 when David Montgomery (knee/ankle) left Sunday's game in the first quarter. Herbert had two games with 95-plus rushing yards and four with 70-plus yards last October when he was given an expanded role for four games in his rookie season.
-Add Jaylen Warren of the Steelers. He had a strong preseason and flashed a lot of promise in Week 3 against Cleveland. Warren rushed for 30 yards on just four carries and showed that if he is ever pressed into a larger workload, he will have some upside. warren is No. 2 on the Pittsburgh RB depth chart, but he certainly has the potential to generate some excitement and quality fantasy production.
