Week 4 of the 2022 fantasy football season delivered some gaudy performances, including a 10-catch day for Justin Jefferson and three total touchdowns for Austin Ekeler.
So which developments are worth reading into? Matt Bowen and Tristan H. Cockcroft offer their analysis.
Justin Jefferson rebounds in a big way
After back-to-back weeks of subpar fantasy production, Justin Jefferson was cooking in the Minnesota Vikings’ Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints. The wide receiver finished with 31 PPR points, grabbing 10 passes for 147 yards while adding a rushing score on red zone jet sweep. Jefferson won the isolation matchups in this one, too, beating Saints corner Marshon Lattimore. The setup off the release, plus the route traits and the vertical juice — clinic stuff. Jefferson and the Vikings get the Bears at home next in the Week 5 game. Lock him in as a top-three play there. — Bowen
In his first game spelling the injured D’Andre Swift, Williams scored 23.9 PPR fantasy points, and he scored a pair of rushing touchdowns for the third time in his four games to date. Williams has been outstanding in short-yardage situations, and he was plenty up to the task absorbing starter’s duties. And with this Lions offense looking legitimately good, he’ll probably maintain a meaningful role regardless of Swift’s weekly availability. As to Swift’s status, though, the team’s impending Week 6 bye might mean Williams gets the backfield largely to himself yet again, so keep him in there as a high-end RB2 yet again. — Cockcroft

Tristan H. Cockcroft explains why fantasy managers should be optimistic about Chris Olave after a good game vs. the Vikings.
Though the result might’ve been heartbreaking for him and his team, losing on a pinball machine-like bounce off the post on a field goal attempt, Olave’s performance for the Saints was plenty notable — 16.7 PPR fantasy points and a 25% target share, meaning he has achieved at least the latter number in three straight games….
