Fantasy Football Week 4 Injuries: Puka Nacua, Justin Jefferson, And More
There are a variety of injuries that will impact fantasy football in Week 4. Here’s how fantasy managers can adjust to win their matchups.
Week 4 injuries have plagued the NFL once again, with notable names like De’Von Achane (Dolphins), Puka Nacua (Rams), Nico Collins (Houston Texans), Breece Hall (New York Jets), Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings), Travis Etienne Jr. (New Orleans Saints), Mike Evans (San Francisco 49ers), and Jalen Coker (Carolina Panthers) all dealing with various ailments. Fantasy managers should assess the status of these players and adjust their rosters accordingly.
Should Nacua return, he should be started in all fantasy leagues due to the Rams' thin pass-catching options. Collins, too, should see significant action if he can return, given the Cowboys' favorable matchup statistics. Hall's situation is uncertain, but Braelon Allen is a viable alternative in the running back position. As for Jefferson, the Vikings' quarterback could be a dominant force against a weak Dolphins defense.
Etienne's absence leaves the Saints relying on Kamara and Miller, with Kamara being a more appealing option due to his pass-catching abilities. Evans's inconsistent form due to injuries makes him a risky pick, but the 49ers' wide receiver situation is so thin that he could still be worth starting if he's cleared. Lastly, Coker's status is uncertain, but if he can play, he would be a strong option against a vulnerable Lions secondary.
