We’re officially through the quarter mark of the 2019 NFL season, and for most fantasy football leagues, we’re closing in on the one-third mark in your regular season. Four games down, and we’re starting to get a handle on who are the playoff contenders in our respective leagues.

Week 4 brought plenty of intriguing performances for fantasy owners to consider. If you’re looking for waiver wire help, running backs like Ronald Jones and Darrel Williams will be popular. Rookie standout quarterback Gardner Minshew remains available in most leagues. Rookie receiver A.J. Brown had a standout performance and will potentially rise onto the radar beyond just keeper leagues.

After back-to-back weeks of big name injuries like Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, and Saquon Barkley going down, Week 4 brought its own share of smaller name injuries. Bills QB Josh Allen suffered a concussion, Cardinals WR Christian Kirk injured his ankle, Lions TE T.J. Hockenson suffered what looked like a brutal upper body injury, and Browns WR Jarvis Landry suffered a concussion.

All raise questions for you to consider heading into Week 5. There’s going to be plenty of news throughout the week, and we’ll be tracking it all here. Feel free to bookmark this story stream and return for the latest news and analysis to get you ready for Week 5 of fantasy football!
