It's Week 4, so hopefully you're starting to see what your Fantasy team is all about after the first three games of the season. You're starting to know who you can trust as starters and who to avoid. And hopefully you're not sticking with someone just because you drafted them in a certain round.
There are always players we feel tied to because of draft capital. This year, guys like Joe Mixon, D.J. Moore, T.Y. Hilton and A.J. Green fall into that category, among others. You feel like you have to start them, even if you have better options on the bench. Why? Play the best players to get you the most points.
Now, I'm still hopeful for all four of those guys, especially Mixon, Moore and Green this week. Mixon faces the Jaguars, and he should have the chance for a good game, especially since he's getting at least 19 total touches each week. But I'm not starting him ahead of James Robinson, Darrell Henderson or even Mike Davis in PPR. Those guys are better right now and have good matchups of their own.
Moore is top 10 in targets among wide receivers, so hopefully a big game is coming. I don't fear the matchup against the Cardinals for him, but I'd rather play Julian Edelman, Will Fuller and DeVante Parker, who have been more productive and also have favorable opponents.
Green, like Mixon, also should go off against the Jaguars. And like Moore, Green is also top 10 in targets among wide receivers. But I have more faith in Tyler Boyd than Green right now since Boyd has shown a solid rapport with Joe Burrow. If you have to decide between the two then Boyd should be in your starting lineup ahead of Green.
As for Hilton, I would sit him this week, as you'll read below. He can still have big games down the road, and hopefully his targets increase as the Colts get in more competitive games. But I don't trust him this week against the Bears, who have yet to allow a touchdown to a wide receiver. He's only worth starting in three receiver leagues, but there could be better options for your Fantasy roster.
Every situation is different for every Fantasy manager, but when you drafted a player shouldn't determine if you start them. Three games is a good sample size to know who is playing well and who isn't, and you should start the player who gives you the best option to win.
Start 'Em & Sit 'Em
It appears like Cam Akers (ribs) will be out again in Week 4 against the Giants after he didn't practice Wednesday, and coach Sean McVay said Akers is day-to-day. And even though Malcolm Brown did play in Week 3 at Buffalo despite having finger surgery, he was clearly behind Darrell Henderson in touches and production. The Rams backfield belongs to Henderson for now -- and hopefully all year.
Henderson has been awesome over the past two games with 32 carries for 195 yards and two touchdowns, as well as three catches for 46 yards on six targets against the Eagles and Bills. We were hoping one of the three Rams running backs would make a statement early in the season to establish themselves as the best Todd Gurley replacement, and Henderson appears to be that guy.
He should make another statement in Week 4 against the Giants, who have already allowed four running backs to either score or run for at least 100 yards in three games. I'm starting Henderson as a borderline No. 1 running back this week in all leagues, and I'm excited about his future.
Obviously, you should keep an eye on the Rams' practice reports to see if Akers is playing, but I'm not sure it matters. McVay should continue to lean on Henderson, and Fantasy managers should as well.

DST
Buccaneers (vs. LAC): Justin Herbert is likely making his first road start this week as long as Tyrod Taylor (chest) remains out, and that could be good news for the Buccaneers DST. In two games, Herbert has two interceptions, four sacks and one lost fumble. The Buccaneers have 11 sacks, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions in their past two games against Carolina and Denver.
- Cardinals (at CAR): The Cardinals have 11 sacks through three games, and they should be able to pressure Teddy Bridgewater in this matchup. He's been sacked seven times in the past two games against Tampa Bay and the Chargers, and he should be under duress once again.
- Broncos (at NYJ): The Jets have scored 37 points on the season, allowed six sacks, four interceptions and two defensive scores. Even though the Broncos are banged up on defense, this DST is worth trusting Thursday night on the road.
- Jets (vs. DEN): The Broncos are on their third quarterback in as many games with Brett Rypien replacing Jeff Driskel, who replaced the injured Drew Lock (shoulder). Denver allowed 13 sacks in the past two games against the Steelers and Buccaneers, and even the Jets DST is worth trusting as a low-end starter this week.
Patriots (at KC): This is an easy week to avoid the Patriots DST at the Chiefs. While New England was great against Miami in Week 1 (three interceptions, one sack and 11 points allowed) and against Las Vegas in Week 3 (three fumbles, two sacks and a defensive score), it doesn't appear like anyone is slowing down Kansas City's offense after what the Chiefs did to the Ravens. You should hold onto the Patriots DST if possible with a matchup against Denver in Week 5, but this should be a rough game against the Chiefs on the road.
