8 keys to a fantasy football victory in Week 4

Fantasy football analyst Sal Vetri delivers his keys to victory for Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season.

The pick-up-and-play of the week is … Michael Wilson

Wilson is coming off a career-high game in Week 3. He produced eight catches for 64 yards on nine targets. The Cardinals’ second-year player saw production in both the short and deep parts of the field. He was used on out routes, routes over the middle of the field and downfield routes. This versatility is exactly what we want to see in fantasy.

Wilson will now face a Commanders secondary that allows the second-most passing yards per game. Wilson has benefited from Marvin Harrison Jr. playing across from him. Defenses must focus more attention on Harrison, which was not something Wilson had last year playing across from Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch. Pick up and play Wilson in a strong Week 4 matchup.

The best spot of the week belongs to … Rome Odunze vs. LAR

Odunze is coming off a big performance of 112 yards and one touchdown against the Colts. He finished as a top 10 fantasy receiver on the week while earning a team-high 11 targets. But it gets better because Odunze saw 49% of the Bears air yards in this game and this translated to six targets of 20+ yards.

This week Odunze faces the Rams, the best matchup any WR could have this season. L.A. has allowed nine passing yards per play this season, according to NFL Pro. That’s 17% higher than any other team in the league. They’ve allowed three receivers to total over 130 yards, including Jauan Jennings’ 175-yard, three-touchdown performance last week. Start Odunze with confidence.

The sketchy spot of the week belongs to … Josh Jacobs vs. MIN

Jacobs is coming off a poor game where he scored just 5.3 fantasy points on 15 touches. What makes this look even worse is that his own backup, Emanuel Wilson, scored 15.5 points on 14 touches. This is still Jacobs’ backfield based on snaps, and he saw most of the work early on in Week 3 before the game got out of hand…
