Tre Tucker Unlikely to Make a Big Impact in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 12:55 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker should get more involved in Week 4, but should fantasy managers play him against the Kansas City Chiefs? Tucker's target share could tick up since fellow receiver Jack Bech (forearm) is sidelined for at least four games. However, the return of All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers has already significantly cut into Tucker's opportunities, and he was held to just four receptions for 43 yards in Week 3. Additionally, the Chiefs' passing defense is allowing just 178.3 yards per game to start the season. Tucker's diminished usage is unlikely to tick up very much with Bech out, especially going up against a tough opponent. He may be a solid deep-league stash or flex option in other matchups, but Tucker is a sit candidate in redraft leagues in Week 4.

DeMario Douglas Remains Off Fantasy Radars in Week 4 vs. Bills

Saturday, October 3, 3:08 PM

New England Patriots wideout DeMario Douglas has fallen victim to a broken Patriots passing offense. Once a fantasy favorite in the community has now drifted off fantasy radars in 2026. The 25-year-old is the PPR WR84 overall and is averaging 4.6 PPR points per game. In addition, the Patriots offense looks like a shell of itself from a year ago, when Drake Maye was an MVP runner-up. As a result, Douglas enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR72 against an intriguing Buffalo Bills defense. The Bills defense has allowed the fifth-most receiving touchdowns (7) and the seventh-most receiving yards this season. This is a prime opportunity for the Patriots offense to jump-start their season. However, Douglas should remain out of the fantasy lineups in Week 4 and until the Patriots have a reliable passing game again.
