Andre Ellington makes impact as a receiver in overtime victory.

Ellington caught a team-high nine passes for 86 yards, and it could have been more if a close play in the end zone was ruled a catch. He also rushed five times for 18 yards. Expect Bruce Arians to utilize Ellington against Philly’s linebacker next Sunday, making him a solid FLEX in PPR leagues.

Brandon Marshall draws ten targets in Giants’ loss.

Marshall caught six passes for 46 yards in the Week 4 game against Tampa Bay. The veteran receiver is now on pace for 64 receptions and 556 yards. Marshall is still looking for his first touchdown as a Giant, and he can’t be happy to have come to a team that’s started the season 0-4. Marshall gets the Chargers next weekend.

Taywan Taylor gets one touch in Week 4.

The rookie receiver had a six-yard carry and didn’t catch his lone target. Taylor is only an option in dynasty leagues as of now.

LeGarrette Blount runs wild in Eagles’ win over the Chargers.

Blount carried 16 times for 136 yards in the victory, including a long of 68 yards, and he also added a 20-yard reception on his only target of the game. Again, Blount showed great downhill ability along with the quickness to also make people miss. Despite not being used in Week 2 for whatever reason, Blount is on pace for 168 yards, 996 yards, four rushing touchdowns, 12 receptions, 84 yards, and four receiving touchdowns. If (and it might be a big if) the Eagles commit to the run like they have—even with using multiple backs like they did against the Chargers—Blount will be a very good fantasy option. He’s averaging 5.9 yards per carry.

Derrick Henry gets limited by the Texans in Week 4.

The second-year back didn’t have many opportunities in the blowout loss, carrying six times for seven yards in the game. Henry is on pace for 156 carries for 712 yards and four touchdowns through four games. He gets the Dolphins in Week 5.

Chris Johnson rushed 13 times for 32 yards in Sunday’s win over the 49ers.

He also caught three passes for 31 yards. Johnson continues to lead the backfield in carries, but Andre Ellington impressed as a receiver and could see more work because of it. Johnson’s role makes him a decent FLEX option in standard leagues, but Ellington is the preferred play in PPR leagues. The Cardinals travel to Philadelphia in Week 5.

Jeremy Kerley caught five passes for 37 yards in Sunday’s win over Jacksonville.

Kerley’s receptions were the most in the game, but he’s not a fantasy option in standard leagues as a low-upside target in the short-passing game. Even those in PPR leagues could do better, but Kerley does have a nice matchup with Cleveland next Sunday.
