Fantasy football 2018, Week 4 rankings: Who to start and sit
By Jon Dove
Start: A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals @ Atlanta Falcons
Andy Dalton is coming off a four interception game, but the high volume of pass attempts helped make for a productive fantasy football day. The Bengals trailed for much of the contest which forced them to play with a quicker pace.
Tyler Boyd was the big winner, but A.J. Green had another strong performance. He’s on a steady pace not allowing the extra attention to slow him down.
However, Boyd’s play the last two weeks could change the narrative. He is playing well enough that opposing defenses need to start accounting for him. It’s going to be tough for the banged up Atlanta Falcons defense to keep all the Bengals weapons in check.
Sit: Nelson Agholor, Philadelphia Eagles @ Tennessee Titans
Carson Wentz is back under center and looked solid in his season debut. He showed no fear while hanging in the pocket and using his legs to extend the play. Wentz also did a good job spreading the ball around.
His main targets were the tight ends and running backs. Nelson Agholor was the receiver most involved, but finished with only four catches.
The problem is that the Eagles wide receiving corps is hurting which allows defenses to key on Agholor. Wentz is a smart quarterback and scanned the field to find the man rather than forcing it to Agholor.
This next week doesn’t figure to get much easier with the Tennessee Titans features a strong defensive backfield.
