Isaac TeSlaa Carries Some Deep-League Flex Intrigue in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 5:42 PM

Three games into his 2026 season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has recorded five catches for 92 yards on nine targets. While TeSlaa's overall line is underwhelming, he's coming off a season-high 60-yard performance in Detroit's Week 3 win over the New York Jets. In Week 4, Detroit will take on a Carolina Panthers defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.1) in the NFL through three weeks. However, Carolina's secondary is shorthanded, as starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn (quad) and Mike Jackson (groin) were both placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. With top Lions wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams occupying Carolina's defensive attention, TeSlaa could see some favorable matchups against reserve defensive backs. The Panthers offense should also be able to move the ball against Detroit's 32nd-ranked scoring defense, which could force the Lions offense into a pass-heavy game script. In deeper leagues, TeSlaa could be a decent desperation flex option for fantasy managers in Week 4.

Kevin Coleman Jr. News

Kevin Coleman Jr. Could Get More Work in Minnesota

Saturday, October 3, 3:51 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. has been on the field regularly over the last two weeks, although the fifth-round rookie from Missouri has yet to make much of an impact. He played 46% of snaps in Week 2 and saw that increase to 62% of snaps in Week 3 with Caleb Douglas (ankle) out. Without Douglas, Coleman served as the Dolphins' third receiver behind Malik Washington and Chris Bell, but he only managed one catch for three yards on four targets. He only had two targets and no catches in the first two weeks of the season, so without Douglas, he did get a big boost in involvement. Douglas is out again in Week 4 against the Vikings, which should lead to Coleman getting good playing time once again. However, he's still only the No. 122 WR in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he's only worth a look as a punt play in DFS or a desperation play in extremely deep leagues.
