Jamey Eisenberg's Week 4 Fantasy football sleepers and DFS picks: Jordan Addison steps up with Jefferson out

Jordan Addison gets his chance with Justin Jefferson out, while C.J. Stroud, Jameson Williams and Darren Waller offer Week 4 upside Oct 2, 2026 at 6:30 pm ET • 3 min read Justin Jefferson (ankle) is out for Week 4 against Miami, which puts Jordan Addison in a great spot. He's one of my favorite sleepers for this week. Addison stepped up when Jefferson was injured in Week 3 at Tampa Bay with five catches for 90 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he should get plenty of opportunities against the Dolphins. Addison is worth starting in all two-receiver leagues and is a must-start option in all three-receiver leagues. Addison played seven games without Jefferson in 2023, and Addison averaged 14.7 PPR points over that span. A lot has changed for the Vikings since then, but Addison should thrive as the No. 1 receiver in Minnesota. The Dolphins have only allowed one touchdown to a receiver this season, and Rashee Rice in Week 3 is the lone receiver to score more than 12 PPR points. That said, I'm confident in Addison against this secondary, and Addison should be great with Jefferson out.

Lawrence should continue to connect with Washington, and I'll counter that stack with Chase. Watson, who grew up in Tampa, gets a homecoming game against the Buccaneers. And Wilson, who just had 11 catches for 89 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets in Week 3 against San Francisco, will hopefully stay hot against the Giants. Love also did well against the 49ers with his best game of the season, with 21 carries for 90 yards and five catches for 19 yards and a touchdown on five targets, and he should have another big game against the Giants. And I'll use Jones as the other running back in this lineup since he faces the Dolphins, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Likely is coming off a bad game in Week 3 against Tennessee with two catches for 13 yards on five targets, but he should rebound against the Cardinals. Arizona is No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. DraftKingsQB: C.J. Stroud (vs. DAL) $5,700 RB: Derrick Henry (vs. TEN) $8,400 RB: Emanuel Wilson (vs. LAC) $4,700 WR: CeeDee Lamb (at HOU) $7,800 WR: Nico Collins (vs. DAL) $7,200 WR: Jordan Addison (vs. MIA) $5,300 TE: Tucker Kraft (at TB) $4,400 FLEX: Chris Bell (at MIN) $3,700 DST: Rams (at PHI) $2,600 Stroud should be excited to get Collins back, and that duo should have success against the Dallas defense. I'll play Lamb to counter the Texans' stack, and that should be a fun game in Houston. Addison will benefit with Justin Jefferson (ankle) out, and I like Bell as a cheap option at receiver with Caleb Douglas (ankle) out. Bell will hopefully get garbage-time production against the Vikings. Wilson is a cheap option to use at running back with Jadarian Price (chest) out. And I'm expecting Henry to go off in the first game against the Titans. Kraft is due for a big game, and it could happen this week at Tampa Bay. In Week 3 against Atlanta, Kraft had eight targets in the first game without Jayden Reed (neck), but Kraft managed just four catches for 26 yards. I'm expecting a rebound performance against the Buccaneers, who have struggled with Mike Gesicki and Harold Fannin Jr. in two of three games this year.
