  "account": "In Week 4 of fantasy football, there are six players who stand out as streaming options. Quarterback C.J. Stroud from Houston is a top choice to start, as he has been performing well despite the team's winless record. Stroud has averaged 15.7 fantasy points per game and has 794 passing yards through three games. He faces a Dallas defense that has been giving up big passing yards, with a passer rating of 123.2 - the second-highest in the league. RB Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell from Tampa Bay are also streaming options. Irving is expected to start for the Buccaneers after Baker Mayfield's injury, while Gainwell is a deeper-league option. WR Josh Downs from Indianapolis is another streaming option, as he has taken a larger share of targets since Alec Pierce went on IR. Downs has a favorable matchup against the Washington defense, which allows a lot of fantasy points to wide receivers. TE Darren Waller from Carolina is also a streaming option, as the Lions have been vulnerable against tight ends this season. Waller has had decent production and could continue to contribute against the Detroit defense, which struggles against tight ends. Finally, WR Michael Pittman Jr. from Pittsburgh is a streaming option for the Flex position, as he is returning from injury and should be fully healthy for Week 4.",
