The Yahoo Fantasy crew has full confidence in these players delivering a memorable performance in your fantasy football lineups for Week 4.
Fire up Mike Evans
The Mike Evans bounceback week is here! Week 3 was rough with just two receptions on three targets for 17 yards. The result was expected — Patrick Surtain II removes fantasy upside from even the most elite receivers. Still, following a quiet Week 2 of three catches and only one big game in Week 1 versus a weak Washington defense, it’s easy to be concerned. That concern is only bolstered by the fact that Chris Godwin has been the overall WR3 in half-PPR.
This week, Evans faces an Eagles defense that has been torched through the air by Chris Olave, Drake London and Darnell Mooney, Jayden Reed and even Christian Watson. Expect Evans to capitalize in this matchup for a return to a top-12 receiver. This is his get-right game. — Tera Roberts
Are you ready for your Tee [Higgins] time?
Higgins returned in Week 3 from a hamstring injury. There were some concerns that he’d be limited coming back from this injury, but he wasn’t. Higgins played 90% of the snaps and this led to a six-target performance for 39 scoreless yards. The performance wasn’t great, but the usage was the encouraging part because Ja’Marr Chase won’t hog all the production every week like he did in Week 3 while producing 118 yards and two touchdowns.
This week Higgins will take on the Panthers. Carolina allows the eighth most passing yards per play this season according to NFL Pro. Start Higgins this week in what could be a high-scoring game. — Sal Vetri
You can’t afford to sit Tony Pollard
If you wrote off Tony Pollard last season you might not want to hear this, but he’s looking kinda frisky. He’s dominated the snaps and touches in Tennessee’s backfield, so Tyjae Spears hasn’t been much more than an annoyance.
This week, Pollard gets a Miami defense that’s allowed 4.5 YPC to opposing rushers and the second-most fantasy points…
