Jets QB Justin Fields clears protocol, to start Monday at Miami

Sat Sep 27 12:01pm ET
Field Level Media

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields cleared concussion protocol and will start Monday night's road game against the Miami Dolphins, head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Saturday.

Fields was placed in the protocol following a Week 2 loss against the Buffalo Bills and missed last week's setback at Tampa Bay. He returned to practice this week as a full participant on Thursday and Friday.

Fields, 26, was injured early in the fourth quarter of the 30-10 loss to the Bills on Sept. 14 when he was smacked by Buffalo pass rusher Joey Bosa after throwing an incomplete pass. His head hit the turf as he landed but he stayed in the game for one more play and got sacked by Bosa, causing a fumble.

Veteran backup Tyrod Taylor started last Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers. He completed 26 of 36 passes for 197 yards with two touchdowns and one interception that was returned for a score.

Fields has completed just 57.6 percent of his passes for 245 yards with one touchdown. He also has run for 97 yards and two scores in two games.

The Bears selected Fields with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 draft. He spent three seasons in Chicago and one with the Pittsburgh Steelers before signing with the Jets as a free agent in the offseason.

Fields is 14-32 as a starter and has thrown for 8,025 yards with 46 TDs and 31 interceptions.

The Jets (0-3) and Dolphins (0-3) are both searching for their first win of the season.

Starts, Sits, Sleepers: Week 4

Player Notes
Noah Fant Sep 27 12:40pm ET
Noah Fant

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (concussion) has been ruled out for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Fant has recorded 12 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets through his first three games of 2025. In his absence, Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki could see a larger role in the passing game. Gesicki has logged five catches for 38 yards on 10 targets so far this season. The 29-year-old will still likely split snaps with fellow Bengals tight ends Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson, and Gesicki will remain behind star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the target pecking order in Cincinnati. All Bengals tight ends should be avoided by fantasy managers in Week 4.

Chase Brown Sep 27 12:40pm ET
Chase Brown

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is coming off a quality year. Unfortunately, that success didn't follow him into the 2025 campaign. Through the first three weeks, the 25-year-old has 47 attempts. However, he's only amassed 93 yards for a miserable 2.0 yards per carry. With that said, Brown can't necessarily take all of the blame for his inefficiency, considering the entire offense has struggled. That was even the case when Joe Burrow (toe) was on the field. The Bengals suffered a blowout loss to the Vikings in Week 3 after starting the season with a 2-0 record, so the club will look to get on track versus the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Without question, Brown has plenty of upside for managers in any format. Still, until things on the offensive side of the ball are sorted out, Brown's presence in fantasy lineups in Week 4 (and beyond) is not without risk.

Ray-Ray McCloud Sep 27 12:40pm ET
Ray-Ray McCloud

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III played his usual role in Week 3, lining up on 70 percent of the snaps and tallying two catches on five targets for 20 yards and no touchdowns. Week 4 should bring more of the same, but ranking fifth on the team in target share with 11.5 percentis a big drop from 2024's 16.1 percent, and with one touchdown all last season, there's littlechance of the 28-year-old finding the end zone. The Washington Commanders, Atlanta's opponent this week, have been much more vulnerable through the air than on the ground in 2025, but that does little to change the outlook for McCloud on Sunday. The seventh-year pro should be avoided where possible, even in PPR formats.

From RotoBaller

Cole Kmet Sep 27 12:30pm ET
Cole Kmet

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet could see an expanded role in Week 4. He scored a touchdown on his lone target in Week 3, bringing his season totals to four receptions for 70 yards and one touchdown through three games. With rookie Colston Loveland (hip) listed as questionable, Kmet may see more targets and opportunities against the Las Vegas Raiders, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. If Loveland plays, Kmet remains unstartable in fantasy. However, if Loveland sits, Kmet projects as a high-end TE2 for Week 4.

DeAndre Hopkins Sep 27 12:20pm ET
DeAndre Hopkins

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is currently sitting in WR3 territory through three weeks of the season in half-PPR formats. He produced two solid weeks in the first two games after hauling in touchdowns both times. He's only averaged two targets per game, however, and his role isn't going to increase if Isaiah Likely (foot) returns in Week 4. There could be some added motivation to get him the ball against his former team in the Kansas City Chiefs, but Hopkins remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option. He's projected to finish as the WR75, which means he's a very risky flex option in deeper leagues this week.

Xavier Worthy Sep 27 12:20pm ET
Xavier Worthy

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has been cleared for Week 4 and will be active on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Worthy dislocated his shoulder early in Week 1 and has missed Kansas City's last two games as a result. With Chiefs wideout Rashee Rice still sidelined by a suspension, Worthy should be the number one option for quarterback Patrick Mahomes upon his return. The speedy 22-year-old recorded 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns across 17 games as a rookie in 2024. The Ravens' defense has struggled to contain explosive plays so far in 2025, allowing the fourth-most pass plays of 20 or more yards (12) through the first three weeks of the season. As long as Worthy's shoulder holds up, he should have a few chances to make plays down the field on Sunday. Worthy profiles as a high-end fantasy WR3/flex option in Week 4.

Luther Burden III Sep 27 12:20pm ET
Luther Burden III

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III flashed big-play ability in Week 3's blowout win over the Cowboys, catching all three of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. He also logged a season-high 31% snap share, showing growth in his role. Despite the breakout performance, Burden's overall usage still limits his fantasy relevance. Through three games, he has played just 25% of the snaps, well behind Rome Odunze (95%), D.J. Moore (88%), and Olamide Zaccheaus (48%). Burden gets another favorable matchup in Week 4 against a Raiders secondary that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. However, until his role becomes more consistent, Burden remains unstartable in fantasy this week.

From RotoBaller

Colston Loveland Sep 27 12:20pm ET
Colston Loveland

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland (hip) is questionable for Week 4 against the Raiders. After missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, he returned in a limited fashion on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up. Even if active, Loveland's fantasy outlook remains minimal. He played 55% of the snaps in Weeks 1 and 2, well behind starter Cole Kmet's 91% snap share. The matchup also doesn't help, as Las Vegas has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. With the Bears heading into their bye in Week 5, the team could lean cautious with Loveland's usage. He should remain on fantasy benches.

From RotoBaller

Tyler Allgeier Sep 27 12:20pm ET
Tyler Allgeier

Atlanta Falcons runningback Tyler Allgeier disappeared from the offense last week, with the Falcons playing from behind the entire game, and the running backs finally givingway to Nathan Carter (hamstring) in the fourth quarter of the 30-0 blowout loss to the Panthers. Thisweek's game should be more competitive, with a relatively low over/under (43.5) and the Falcons as only slight favorites (-2.5). That should give Allgeier a chance to get back on track after recording double-digit carries the first two weeks, and even finding the end zone once. Still, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry will limit his upside, and the 25-year-old is not typically involved in the passing attack (two catches for four yards in '25), so view him as nothing more than a middling RB4 or a speculative Flex play, as well as a handcuff for Bijan Robinson managers.

From RotoBaller

Tyler Loop Sep 27 12:20pm ET
Tyler Loop

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop finished outside of K1 territory for the first time in Week 3. The biggest reason is that the Ravens weren't settling for field goals as they tried to claw out a comeback win in the fourth quarter against the Detroit Lions. Still, Loop made a 41-yarder and all three of his extra point attempts. The offense should still be able to move the ball downfield in their Week 4 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, and they'll especially need more points if the defense continues to give up the most points in the league. That means Loop should see plenty of opportunities, which keeps him in K1 territory heading into this matchup.

Rashod Bateman Sep 27 12:10pm ET
Rashod Bateman

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is usually good for a couple of pop-off games throughout the season, and he did just that in Week 3. After hauling in five receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown against the Detroit Lions, he came in as the WR15 in half-PPR formats. The issue is that he usually doesn't consistently string good performances together. Last season, he had a few WR1 and WR2 finishes, but they were never in back-to-back games. Now, he'll take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4, and the last time they played last year, he registered two receptions for 53 yards on five targets. Bateman is very hard to trust, even as a flex option, in most leagues, regardless of scoring format.

From RotoBaller

D'Andre Swift Sep 27 12:10pm ET
D'Andre Swift

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Raiders. Swift was limited in practice throughout the week, but early signs suggest he's trending toward suiting up on Sunday. Through three games, he's logged 42 carries for 149 yards and a touchdown, along with nine receptions for 63 yards. While the numbers don't jump off the page, there are some positives point to better days ahead. The Bears' offense has been rolling under new head coach Ben Johnson, ranking ninth in points scored and coming off a statement win over Dallas. Swift has also been the clear lead back, handling 66% of the snaps and dominating backfield touches. Week 4 brings a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, who have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. In a game that projects to be high scoring, Swift should again see steady usage, and any trip to the end zone would push him into RB2 territory, assuming he's good to go.

From RotoBaller

Kyle Monangai Sep 27 12:10pm ET
Kyle Monangai

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has moved past Roschon Johnson as the team's RB2. Monangai has logged 13 carries for 44 yards and added three catches for 23 yards, playing on 29% of Chicago's snaps. Johnson, meanwhile, has yet to see an offensive snap in 2025. Starter D'Andre Swift continues to lead the backfield but has struggled to find rhythm, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. This week brings a difficult matchup against a Raiders defense that has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to running backs. With Swift (hip) questionable to play in Week 4, Monangai's value could substantially increase if Swift weren't able to suit up. For now, Monangai remains off the fantasy radar, but his steady role as the No. 2 option could grow in value with the Bears heading into their bye week in Week 5.

From RotoBaller

Rome Odunze Sep 27 12:10pm ET
Rome Odunze

Chicago Bears wideout Rome Odunze gets a homecoming matchup this week in Las Vegas, where he grew up. The second-year receiver is off to a blazing start, catching 16 of 27 targets for 227 yards and a league-leading four touchdowns. He's established himself as Chicago's WR1, logging a 95% snap share and running a route on 100% of dropbacks. Odunze now draws a favorable matchup against a Raiders defense that has surrendered the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Big plays have already burned this secondary, with Terry McLaurin, Kayshon Boutte, and Quentin Johnston all finding success. In a game projected to feature plenty of scoring, Odunze profiles as a low-end WR1 for Week 4.

From RotoBaller

D.J. Moore Sep 27 12:10pm ET
D.J. Moore

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore finally found the end zone in Week 3, his first touchdown of the 2025 season. It's been a slow start for the veteran, who has caught 12 of 16 targets for 135 yards and one score through three games. With second-year breakout Rome Odunze taking over as Chicago's WR1, Moore has seen a shift in usage, even taking on a hybrid role with six carries for 15 yards. Quarterback Caleb Williams even compared him to a potential "Deebo Samuel" piece in the offense. Moore gets a favorable matchup in Week 4 against a Raiders defense that has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While no longer the locked-in fantasy option he once was, Moore still carries upside and profiles as a high-end WR3 against a vulnerable secondary.

Mark Andrews Sep 27 12:00pm ET
Mark Andrews

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews finally broke through the fantasy wall in Week 3 and delivered a monster performance to finish as the TE2 overall. Last season, he posted awful or mediocre performances for the first five weeks and eventually finished as the TE4 with 11 touchdowns. While this has a chance to be the start of a similar trend, Isaiah Likely (foot) may be part of the reason that it doesn't happen. Likely is considered questionable, and the Ravens are hopeful that he suits up for the first time. That doesn't mean Andrews loses all of his value, since he did a lot of his damage with Likely healthy last season as well, but it could make him even riskier of an option. As of right now, Andrews is projected as a low-end TE1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the target trend will be something to watch if Likely returns.

Kyle Pitts Sep 27 12:00pm ET
Kyle Pitts

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. was a full participant in practice on Friday and is coming off his third straight game with at least five targets and at least four catches to begin the season. His involvement is a solid increase from 2024, when he garnered 13.7 percent target share, compared to this season's 18.3 percent target share. Unfortunately, this year's targets have been of the shorter variety, with a 5.5 aDOT compared to last season's 8.4 aDOT, and he's yet to receive a red zone look in 2025. Even so, with 15 catches for 135 yards (9.0 average), the 24-year-old stands just outside the top 12 in fantasyscoringat the positionthus far, and if he's able to find paydirt in Week 4, he'll be comfortably in the top 12 come Monday. Atlanta's Week 4 opponent, the Washington Commanders, has allowed the ninth-most half-PPR points to tight ends through three weeks, and gave up three scores through the air last Sunday (albeit to a WR). In what should be a competitive game, view the 6-foot-6 tight end as a low-end TE1 for Week 4.

Darren Waller Sep 27 12:00pm ET
Darren Waller

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) is expected to make his season debut on Monday Night Football against the Jets. Waller came out of retirement this offseason and was traded to Miami to help replace Jonnu Smith, who posted a strong 2024 campaign. However, injuries have kept Waller sidelined for the first three games of 2025. His return provides a boost of excitement for the Dolphins' offense, but expectations should be tempered. The Jets have been solid against tight ends, allowing the sixth-fewest receiving yards to the position this season. Combined with the likelihood of a limited snap count, Waller is not a startable option in Week 4, though he could develop into a streaming candidate if his role grows.

Caleb Williams Sep 27 12:00pm ET
Caleb Williams

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is off to a scorching start in his sophomore season. Williams is averaging 23.8 fantasy points per game, ranking as the QB3 behind only Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. The arrival of head coach Ben Johnson has transformed the Bears' offense, and Williams is thriving in the system. Week 4 sets up as another strong spot. The Bears face the Las Vegas Raiders, who allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2024. This year, they've already surrendered a 115+ QBR in back-to-back weeks, most recently getting lit up by Marcus Mariota and the Commanders for 41 points on offense. With elite efficiency, rushing upside, and a favorable matchup, Williams is locked in as a high-end QB1 for Week 4. Expect his early-season dominance to continue in Las Vegas.

Zay Flowers Sep 27 11:50am ET
Zay Flowers

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers was almost nowhere to be found in the game script against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. He received three targets and caught two of them for 13 yards compared to seeing 20 targets through the first two games and hauling in seven receptions in each one. He'll take on the Kansas City Chiefs' secondary in Week 4, which always seems personal after the fumble debacle in the playoffs. In their Week 1 matchup last season, Flowers caught six of his 10 targets for 37 yards and ran for 14 more on two carries. The high volume that he usually receives gives him a higher ceiling, which is why he's projected to finish around a low-end WR1 this week in PPR formats.
