Harrison Butker, Harrison Butker Ready To Face Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Butker has now missed field goals in back-to-back games, but has not missed an extra-point attempt all season. The Chiefs will have their work cut out for them against a tough Raiders defense, so Butker should play a vital role in the matchup. Butker is ranked K5 in our RotoBaller Week 4 rankings, making him one of the best options to start at the position this week. The Chiefs kicker should be depended upon throughout the game and fantasy managers should feel confident with him in their lineups, despite his recent struggles.

Tyquan Thornton, Tyquan Thornton Could Be A Valuable Deep Threat Option Against Vegas

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. Thornton has been the de facto deep threat option for quarterback Patrick Mahomes this season and his skill set may be necessary against a divisional opponent this week. Thornton recently caught two passes for 22 yards in the 24-10 win over the Miami Dolphins, but flashed more upside in the previous week with a closer game. In a 33-30 overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts, Thornton had four catches for 86 yards with a long catch of 45 yards in the contest. The Raiders defense has been stingy to start the season, so a big play or two may be necessary to take the top off the defense. Thornton is ranked WR70 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a desperate flex option. Fantasy managers starting Thornton this week will need to hope for a deep catch or a score to salvage his day.

Xavier Worthy, Xavier Worthy More Of A Dart Throw In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Worthy's performance in the 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins last week raised more concerns than optimism for his future performances. Worthy reeled in two catches for 20 yards on two targets in the contest. Despite the easy matchup, the third-year wideout finished with fewer yards and targets than Noah Gray in Week 3. Worthy will now have to face a tough Raiders defense in a matchup of two undefeated AFC West teams. Worthy will be involved in this week's matchup, but just how involved he will be is anyone's guess. Worthy is ranked WR60 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a deep league flex option. Fantasy managers suffering from injuries may have to throw Worthy into lineups, but in most cases, there should be better options available.

Emmett Johnson, Emmett Johnson To Maintain RB2 Role In Las Vegas

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Emmett Johnson will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. The 22-year-old has been electrifying in his limited touches behind starter Kenneth Walker, placing among the league's best in forced missed tackles per attempt. Despite not catching a single pass in last week's contest, Johnson has been particularly efficient as a pass catcher out of the backfield. The rookie will now get to face the tough Raiders defense in an AFC West matchup this Sunday. Despite his success, Johnson's fantasy value is ultimately tied to the health of Walker. As long as Walker remains healthy, Johnson will remain in a secondary role. Johnson will look to make the most of his touches against a tough Raiders defense. The Raiders have been a turnover machine in the first three weeks, racking up four interceptions and five recovered fumbles, which is a testament to the strength and aggressiveness of the unit. Johnson is ranked RB43 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a deep league flex option for those struggling with running back injuries this week.

Rashee Rice, Rashee Rice Removed From Injury Report, Ready To Face Tough Divisional Opponent

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was listed on this week's injury report with the same knee injury he has been rehabbing all offseason, so nothing new to report on that front. He practiced fully in every practice session this week and is no longer listed on the report heading into the weekend. Rice is coming off his best game of the season in last week's 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Rice caught seven passes for 88 yards, leading the team in catches, yards, and targets by a large margin. Perhaps the easy matchup against Miami was just what Rice needed to have a get-right game. This week's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders may not be so easy. The Raiders defense looks like one of the most improved units year over year, holding opposing offenses to low scoring outputs in two of three games this season. Rice will have to compete with tight end Travis Kelce for valuable targets while contending with the Las Vegas defensive backs. Rice is ranked WR17 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a fine WR2 in most leagues.
