As the first two teams – New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers – enter their bye weeks, fantasy football fans need to be ready to weather the storm. The Recorder sports staff came together to show you who will reign supreme, surprise and face defeat in Week Four.

Dan Fappiano, Editor-in-Chief

SURE THING: Keenan Allen (LAC WR, @ MIA)

Allen has been on fire to start the season, leading the league in receiving. He has been Phillip River’s favorite target this season and will remain the go-to as long as he can stay healthy. Facing a Dolphins defense that is ranked worst against the pass, Allen should continue his dominance in Week Four.

SLEEPER: Dawson Knox (BUF TE, v.s. NE)

Knox shined in Week Three, going over 50 yards for the game and catching a touchdown. With injuries to their other tight ends, Knox will now have an opportunity to make an impact during his rookie season. While the Patriots’ secondary should shut down the outside, Knox will be the answer down the middle.

BUST: Delvin Cook (MIN RB, @ CHI)

Like Allen, Cook has shined this year, leading the league in rushing. He has proven that he is past the injury bug and ready to compete. However, facing a tough Chicago defense that has allowed the second-fewest yards on the ground, Cook will struggle to find his footing and fall outside the top 30 RBs this week.

SURE THING: D.J Chark (JAX WR, @DEN)

The rookie wide receiver has quickly asserted himself as Gardner Minshew’s favorite target, hauling in four catches for 76 yards and a score in week three. Going against a shaky secondary in Denver, the rookie-to-rookie connection will again shine against the Broncos.

SLEEPER: Jacoby Brissett (IND QB, v.s. OAK)

Taking over for the recently retired Andrew Luck, Brissett has exceeded expectations for a lot of Colts fans. He’s led the team to their current 2-1 record and has only thrown one pick to his seven touchdowns. The Raiders defense ranks in the bottom ten in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (286.3) and looked uninspired in their 34-14 beating in week three.

BUST: Baker Mayfield (CLE QB, @ BAL)

Though the season is still young, Mayfield and the Browns have not come close to their expectations. Mayfield will again struggle against the dominant Ravens defense headed by Earl Thomas.

Trevi Alickolli, Assistant Sports Editor

SURE THING: Austin Ekeler (RB, LAC @ MIA)

Picking any offensive player against the Miami Dolphins is too easy but I think Ekeler and the Chargers will have a very productive day after losing their last two games. Ekeler is projected to score over 20 points this week and Miami is fresh off of allowing 235 rushing yards (6.9 YPC) against the Cowboys.

SLEEPER: Terry McLaurin (WR, WASH @ NYG)

McLaurin has proved he is the real deal and has also proved he is Washington’s No.1 receiver four weeks into the season. Three weeks into the season, McLaurin has recorded 10 receptions for 187 yards and two touchdowns. Going against a terrible Giants secondary, who just allowed Mike Evans to go for 190 yards against them, McLaurin should have a field-day and should be in consideration for the very least a flex play.

BUST: Josh Allen (QB, BUFF vs NE)

The most impressive aspect of New England is their defense. They have not allowed a touchdown three weeks into the season thus far. I believe Allen will struggle in comparison to what he is used to doing and the Patriots defense will once again dominate the field.
