Week 4 Fantasy Football News and Injuries (2026): Lamar, Saquon and Chase go down

Editor's take, Michael Walsh

If your fantasy team made it through Week 4 healthy, congratulations. I honestly think that should count as a win by itself. I'm starting to wonder whether we need more IR spots or just a separate league for everyone who's still standing.

Barkley, Chase, Lamar, Rice. Every time I checked for an update, it felt like another big name was hurt. You spend all week figuring out your lineup, then spend half of Sunday wondering whether your starter is coming back out of the locker room. At this rate, my next waiver claim might need to be a physical therapist.

As a Packers fan, Edgerrin Cooper tearing his Achilles and being done for the year was the one that really stung. I was happy to get the win in Tampa, but that news took a lot of the enjoyment out of it. He's a player I was excited to watch this season, and now we're talking about next year already. Brutal.

McMillan and Monangai going off gave me something to enjoy on the fantasy side. I love seeing a player make everyone reconsider what they thought they knew. Those performances also make the next round of decisions interesting. How much do you trust the breakout? How aggressively do you chase help when your own roster is falling apart? That's where I'm trying to keep a little patience, even when the injury alerts make it difficult.

Heading into Week 5, I'm keeping my bench flexible and paying attention to where the touches and targets are going. There are opportunities opening up, and plenty of us need them. Hopefully next week gives me more football to talk about and fewer medical reports.

Week 4, part 1 of 6

Week 4 in numbers: McMillan, six upsets and a bad week for favourites

Tetairoa McMillan had the best line of the week at 45.2 PPR points, 14 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns in a Sunday night upset of Detroit, and he also beat his projection by more than anyone, 29.3 points. Three players led their positions: Drake Maye at quarterback with 27.2, Kyren Williams at running back with 36.7, and T.J. Hockenson at tight end with 24.9 on 13 catches from 13 targets. CeeDee Lamb was second overall at 41.3.

It was a poor week to lay points. Six teams won outright as moneyline underdogs, led by New England at +275 in Buffalo, and Atlanta won by 21 on Monday night as a 1.5-point underdog. Favourites covered only four of the sixteen spreads, and Seattle against the Chargers landed exactly on 7 for a push. Ten of sixteen games went over the total, and Atlanta and New Orleans combined for 69 points, 21.5 more than the line. The biggest miss of a projection belonged to Parker Washington, projected for 17.2 and held to 2.0. On values, Tyler Shough rose 631 in Dynasty PPR SF, the largest gain of anyone who played, and Omarion Hampton fell 1,182, the largest drop.

McMillan led the week at 45.2 and beat his projection by 29.3, and New England won the biggest upset at +275 in Buffalo.

Game by game: every final, the line it beat, and who scored

Each card below is one game: the final, the closing line and whether the favourite covered, the score the line implied against the score that happened, the best fantasy lines on both sides graded against the Sleeper projection, and whose value moved. Underdogs covered eleven of sixteen spreads, which is the week in one number.

Four reports sit behind the cards: CeeDee Lamb's career-high 17 catches, Kenneth Walker's 537 rushing yards through four weeks, the most by a Chief in that span, Bijan Robinson's Monday night scrimmage average, and Atlanta scoring 40.0 points a game with Michael Penix against 8.0 with Cooper Rush.

Every game of week 4

Six moneyline underdogs won outright, underdogs covered eleven of sixteen spreads, and ten games went over the total.

PPR points from the week's box scores. Projected is the Sleeper projection published for week 4, before any FF Beacon adjustment. Value moves are Dynasty PPR SF on FF Beacon and Redraft 1QB PPR on FF Beacon, from the last value on or before 2026-09-29 to the last on or before 2026-10-06.

Computed Oct 6, 2026, 9:23 AM EDT. Finals are derived from the two team-defense stat lines of each game. Lines are the closing numbers DraftKings posted, as ESPN reports them; the implied team totals are the closing total split by the closing spread.

Week 4, part 3 of 6

How the projections did: a coin flip, and high at quarterback

The Sleeper projection was a coin flip again in week 4: 136 of 273 graded players beat it, 50 percent, and the average miss was 4.7 PPR points. It ran high at quarterback, where only 10 of 31 graded players beat it and the average quarterback finished 1.1 points short, and slightly low at receiver and tight end, where 54 percent beat it.

The season lists are the part to use. Kenneth Walker has beaten his projection in all four games, by 9.8 points on average, and Zay Flowers and Mike Gesicki are three for three. On the other side, Kyler Murray has fallen short in all three graded games by 9.9 on average and Saquon Barkley in all three by 9.3. A number that keeps missing in the same direction is one to adjust before you set a lineup on it.

How the Sleeper projection did in week 4

A coin flip overall at 50 percent, and high at quarterback, where only 10 of 31 graded players beat it.

QB32% beat it, 10 of 31; average miss 4.4 points; lean -1.1
RB48% beat it, 38 of 79; average miss 5 points; lean +1.1
WR54% beat it, 58 of 107; average miss 5.1 points; lean +1.4
TE54% beat it, 30 of 56; average miss 3.7 points; lean +0.8
All50% beat it, 136 of 273; average miss 4.7 points; lean +0.9, all four positions

The line in each bar is 50 percent. Lean is actual minus projected on average: above zero means the projection ran low.

Season: beat it most reliably

Brock BowersTE LV: beat it in 2 of 2 games, +10 a game against 14.1 projected

Jauan JenningsWR MIN: beat it in 0 of 2 games, -7.4 a game against 8.9 projected

Computed Oct 6, 2026, 9:23 AM EDT. Graded against the Sleeper projection published for each week, in PPR, before any FF Beacon adjustment. A graded game is one where a projection above zero was published and the player took the field. Mean error is actual minus projected: above zero means the projection ran low. Season lists need 2 graded games; the reliable list counts players projected for 6 or more a game and the laggard list 8 or more.

Week 4, part 4 of 6

Injuries and availability: Lamar, Saquon, Chase and Thornton

The timeline below places every reported absence by its expected return; Jalon Daniels appears on it only because the Mayfield report names him, and he is healthy and starting. One line per player who matters for fantasy, dynasty first and redraft second:

Lamar Jackson: left the stadium in a walking boot, had an MRI on Monday, and is day to day for Sunday night in Atlanta; Jesse Minter said it should not be long term. Dynasty value down 481 to 8,803, redraft down 728 to 5,814. Hold in both, and carry a second quarterback in superflex until Friday.
Saquon Barkley: hamstring, out after the first quarter, now week to week with an update promised Wednesday. Down 639 in dynasty and 1,164 in redraft; hold, and expect him to miss the London game against Jacksonville.
Ja'Marr Chase: concussion, in the protocol and called day to day. Dynasty down 208, redraft down 1,416 to 8,350. Hold everywhere; in redraft that drop is a buying price. Tee Higgins is day to day with an adductor after 157 yards.
Tyquan Thornton: dislocated ankle, surgery, 12 to 16 weeks, a day after 28.1 PPR points. Drop him in redraft leagues without an injured reserve slot, and hold in dynasty only on a deep bench.
Rashee Rice: hamstring, described as minor, with Kansas City on a bye in week 5. Down 575 in dynasty and 711 in redraft; hold.
Baker Mayfield: dislocated thumb, three to six weeks, with the return tied to when he can grip a ball and no move to injured reserve. Down 524 in dynasty and 509 in redraft.
Justin Jefferson: sat out with the ankle sprain, and Minnesota is hopeful for New Orleans in week 5, where the model projects 16.0 points. Hold.
Jayden Daniels: missed week 4 with the dislocated elbow, which avoided surgery for now, and Dan Quinn expects him back against the Giants, projected for 17.4. Marcus Mariota hurt a knee on Washington's first drive.
Running backs: Tank Bigsby needs core muscle surgery and goes on injured reserve for six weeks or less, Jadarian Price went on injured reserve with a chest injury (dynasty down 600, redraft down 916), Travis Etienne is on injured reserve with a hamstring (redraft down 464 to 3,464), and Kyle Juszczyk is out two to three weeks.
Receivers: DJ Moore aggravated the shoulder but it is not considered long term (redraft down 920), DeVonta Smith sat with a hamstring (redraft down 1,133), Pat Bryant has an ankle sprain for a few weeks, Jordyn Tyson is still weeks away, and Jayden Reed had season-ending neck surgery. Jalen McMillan is on injured reserve for at least four games.
IDP: Edgerrin Cooper tore his Achilles and is out for the season after ranking second among linebackers in Sleeper default IDP scoring through four weeks; Braiden McGregor tore a pectoral; Denver lost Pat Surtain and Riley Moss in San Francisco; Trey Hendrickson was ruled out after a finger procedure and Za'Darius Smith with a concussion. No value source prices defensive players.

Lamar JacksonQB, BAL Atlanta Falcons Baltimore Ravens

The biggest open question of week 5 is a superflex quarterback ranked sixth in Dynasty PPR SF.

Week 4, part 5 of 6

Moves and role changes: Bagent, Mixon, Tyreek Hill and two backfields

Tyson Bagent is expected to start again in Green Bay after 268 yards and a 23 to 12 win; Caleb Williams stays week to week. A superflex start at 13.9 projected points, nothing more.
Seattle is signing Joe Mixon to the practice squad with Price on reserve. Joe Mixon has not played since January 2025, so Emanuel Wilson, with 21 carries and 27.0 PPR points, is the back to own. Mixon rose 655 in redraft on the news.
Kansas City has stayed in contact with Tyreek Hill since the Thornton and Rice injuries, and his agent says he is negotiating with several teams and could sign within days. Tyreek Hill rose 386 in redraft; he is a speculative claim until he signs.
Chicago's backfield moved to Kyle Monangai: 30 carries to 15 for D'Andre Swift after Swift's fumble. Monangai's redraft value rose 301 and Swift's fell 414.
The Chargers gave Keaton Mitchell 15 touches to 11 for Omarion Hampton, and Hampton's value fell 1,182 in dynasty and 1,241 in redraft, the steepest dynasty drop of anyone who played.
The Lions and Sam LaPorta broke off contract talks, so he is headed for free agency in 2027; he answered with 22.4 PPR points on 13 targets. A dynasty note only, down 279.
Washington played its third quarterback, Athan Kaliakmanis, for most of the London game, and named Colson Yankoff its emergency quarterback. Nobody here is a claim if Daniels returns.
Smaller moves: the Giants released Odell Beckham and put Braxton Berrios on reserve, Las Vegas signed Cody White and put Jack Bech on reserve, Cincinnati added Mitch Tinsley, who caught three passes on Sunday, Philadelphia elevated Zach Ertz, and Dallas traded for Joey Porter Jr.. None changes a fantasy start.

Week 4, part 6 of 6

What to do this week: claims, holds and one buy

Every call is tied to a report above and to a number on the site; the cards below link each one to the tool that runs it.

Claim Emanuel Wilson everywhere: 21 carries and 27.0 PPR points with Price on reserve, and a redraft value up 706. Size the bid in the FAAB calculator.
Claim Ollie Gordon: 100 rushing yards on nine carries and a redraft value up 699, with a 6 to 11 percent bid at the default league shape.
Claim Keaton Mitchell as a flex depth add: he out-touched Hampton, and his redraft value rose 329.
Put a 1 to 3 percent bid on Tyreek Hill only where your bench can hold a player who has not signed.
Hold Lamar Jackson and check Friday's report before the Sunday night kickoff; run the backup call through Who Should I Start.
Hold Ja'Marr Chase, and buy him in redraft if a manager is selling the concussion at the price that fell 1,416; check the offer in the trade calculator.
Start Brock Bowers every week: he has beaten his projection in both graded games, and the model has him at 16.2 against New England.
Hold Saquon Barkley and Rashee Rice; neither injury is long, and Kansas City has a bye.

Week 4, questions people ask

Questions people ask

Is Lamar Jackson playing in week 5?

Unknown as of Monday. He hurt his left ankle on a sack at the end of the first half against Tennessee, left the stadium in a walking boot and had an MRI on October 5. Jesse Minter called him day to day and said he does not expect a long absence. The model projects him for 18.5 points at Atlanta; his Dynasty PPR SF value fell 481 to 8,803.

How long is Saquon Barkley out?

He is week to week with a hamstring injury from the first quarter of the 24 to 20 loss to the Rams, and Nick Sirianni said he would have more on Wednesday. Tank Bigsby, the next back, is headed to injured reserve for core muscle surgery. Barkley's Redraft 1QB PPR value fell 1,164 to 5,356.

Will Ja'Marr Chase play against the Dolphins?

He is in the concussion protocol after a second-quarter hit against Jacksonville and Zac Taylor called him day to day. Tee Higgins, who caught 11 passes for 157 yards with Chase out, is also day to day with an adductor injury. Chase is projected for 18.0 points against Miami if he clears.

Who replaces Tyquan Thornton in Kansas City?

Nobody on the roster yet. Thornton needs surgery on a dislocated ankle and is expected back in 12 to 16 weeks, Rashee Rice has a hamstring injury described as minor, and the Chiefs have stayed in contact with free agent Tyreek Hill, whose agent expects him to sign within days. Kansas City is on a bye in week 5.
