Fantasy football cheat sheet Week 4: Don't waste resources after RB injuries

Ahead of the fourth week of the 2026 NFL campaign, fantasy managers are dealing with a severe blow to the running back position following a series of serious injuries. Miami Dolphins ball carrier De'Von Achane suffered a season-ending ACL tear, New Orleans Saints starter Travis Etienne Jr.

is sidelined due to a hamstring problem, and New York Jets lead runner Breece Hall is dealing with a thigh issue. Analysts warn fantasy owners against blowing their waiver wire budget on the immediate replacements, urging caution instead of chasing high-priced depth.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons saw an offensive spark after Michael Penix Jr. returned to action.

Drake London hauled in nine receptions for 194 yards, and Bijan Robinson posted a massive 213-yard performance with two touchdowns during the outing, while Brian Robinson Jr. also found the end zone.

Kyle Pitts had a quiet night with just a single catch for five yards.
