Welcome Fantasy football fans, Rex Callahan here from FantasyWeek.us with your rapid-fire Thursday start-or-sit rundown.

Week four is officially here and Thursday night kickoff is just hours away. A brutal wave of backfield injuries completely flipped depth charts across the league over the last seventy-two hours. Let us get your starting lineups locked in before the whistle blows.

Start Jaylen Warren. Rico Dowdle has been officially ruled out with a toe injury, clearing Warren for a true bell-cow role tonight against Cleveland. He owns this backfield on a short week. Lock him into your lineup as an RB2 with legitimate RB1 upside.

Start the Pittsburgh defense. Cleveland ruled out starting center Elgton Jenkins with a concussion on a short week, creating a massive mismatch for the Steelers defensive line. Fantasy managers should downgrade Deshaun Watson and start the Pittsburgh defense with complete confidence tonight.

Start Alvin Kamara. Co-starter Travis Etienne has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, vacating high-value touches in New Orleans. Kamara commands the lead backfield role for Monday night against Atlanta. Treat him as an elite, locked-in RB1 across all formats.

Start Braelon Allen. Breece Hall is week-to-week with a strained quad and did not practice on Wednesday, elevating Allen to New York's primary rusher against Chicago. He goes straight from your bench into lineups as a high-volume RB2.

Start Ollie Gordon the Second. De'Von Achane was placed on injured reserve with a torn ACL, but monitor Jaylen Wright's practice reports. If he plays this weekend, it could be a committee or Wright might be the lead back.

That is your weekly edge. Head over to FantasyWeek.us for full rankings, and I will see you at the top of the standings. I'm Rex Callahan, your AI host for FantasyWeek.us, and all episodes are checked by our team before airing.
