Week 4 Fantasy Football Injuries, Coachspeak and News to Help You Win: Replacing Justin Jefferson & More
Key Points:
- Marcus Mariota will start again for Washington as Jayden Daniels is ruled out for Week 4; Terry McLaurin is questionable with a hamstring injury but remains a WR3 option if he plays, while Stefon Diggs ranks as a fringe WR2 despite the QB change.
- Washington’s Sam Cosmi is out with a concussion, but the Colts’ weak pass rush lessens the impact on Washington’s passing game; Chig Okonkwo is active after a hamstring injury, while Rachaad White is out, likely increasing Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s role in the backfield.
- Keenan Allen is questionable with a groin injury for the Chargers, making Tyler Warren and Jalen Downs more attractive options against Washington’s vulnerable secondary, especially if Allen sits out.
- Baltimore Ravens face major center injuries but remain favored; Derrick Henry and the Titans’ banged-up offensive line create a challenging matchup, suggesting caution with Titans players, while Zay Flowers is questionable but remains a WR2 if active.
- Patriots’ offense is thin with multiple injuries on the offensive line and key players on IR; TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson are downgraded in fantasy due to limited usage and poor matchup, and rookie QB Drake Maye is not recommended due to performance and injury concerns.
