Fantasy Football 2021, Week 4 rankings: Who to start and sit

Start

Rob Gronkowski, TB, @ NE

Gronkowski gave everyone a scare last week when he had to leave the game injured after a massive hit in the middle of the field. Thankfully he returned to the field and got looks in the redzone from Tom Brady. Now as they duo go to face their former team for the first time ever, it only seems right that Brady to Gronk is hit in New England one more time… at least. Start him up.

Mike Gesicki, MIA, vs. IND

Gesicki’s value is climbing as he has become one of Jacoby Brissett’s go-tos since he had to take over for Tua Tagovailoa. Expect much of the same as Brissett will be the starter once again and Gesicki’s talent is starting to shine once again.

Sit

Tyler Conklin, MIN, vs. CLE

Conklin had a great game this week, totaling 20 fantasy points and showing he could be the option to replace Irv Smith Jr. We don’t see this to be the case long-term as Conklin’s output is going to be streaky all season long. Rather than setting yourself up for disaster, it’s best to sit down Conklin but could be worth the addition to see if this becomes consistent.

Robert Tonyan, GB, vs. PIT

We have all wanted to make a tight end for Aaron Rodgers a thing since the days of Jermichael Finley. Tonyan did his best impression of that last season when he finished as a top five tight end. That’s all well and good but we would be remissed to accept that he is the basic touchdown or bust fantasy tight end. He does not get enough looks in an offense that contains Davante Adams and Aaron Jones. Sit him down against the Steelers.

Good luck on your Week 4 matchups and check back for Week 5 on Wednesday next week!
