This is Week 4, y’all. Teams are getting in the groove of how they envision their schemes going this season. Players are acclimating to the rigor of the NFL season, with some at a slower pace than others. Plaguing multiple players, injuries have been piling up and affecting every team. Fantasy managers and bettors have to go all-in on the starters who remain healthy while also looking further down the depth charts to fill in holes. It’s time to get down and dirty in making the magic happen. Here are my best NFL Week 4 PrizePicks player predictions!
NFL Week 4 PrizePicks Player Predictions
Aaron Jones (RB, Minnesota Vikings) MORE Than 58.5 Rushing Yards
Heading into Week 4, the Minnesota Vikings are currently at 3-0 after beating tough opponents, the Houston Texans in Week 3 and the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. Can they notch the 4-0 start after facing staunch division rival the Green Bay Packers this Sunday?
They definitely can, and it will come with the help of stud running back Aaron Jones. After seven seasons with the Packers, Jones joined the Vikings this past offseason. Averaging 76 rushing yards per game this season, the UTEP product is picking up momentum. Though the Packers are the ninth-stingiest defense against the running back position, Jones has the added hunger that comes with going up against former teammates.
In this week’s Message for Green Bay, Jones shares the heartfelt story of his time with the Packers and his immense gratitude towards the team and the fans. He signs off his letter by thanking Green Bay for “SEEING” him. I’m going to be betting they’ll be seeing him plenty this Sunday, moving across that gridiron. Hitting the over on this line seven out of his last 10 games, Jones will easily beat this line of 58.5 rushing yards. Smash the over on this NFL PrizePicks prop.
Anthony Richardson (QB, Indianapolis Colts) LESS Than 26.0 Passing Attempts
Last season, rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson had his season unexpectedly upended due to a shoulder injury suffered in Week 5. It’s finally his time to fully make his NFL debut this year. Unfortunately, the season isn’t kicking off like it should for him. He’s averaging just 24.3 passing attempts, 194.3 passing yards and a 49.3% completion rate per game. It might just take a minute for Richardson to hit his stride. While he adjusts, Richardson has elite running back Jonathan Taylor to lean on for dump-offs and his own rushing ability (averaging 39 rushing yards) to cover the ground in games.
Coupling with Richardson’s struggles, the Pittsburgh Steelers have seen the ninth-fewest passing attempts this season. In Week 3, they held Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert to only 18 pass attempts. Hitting the under on this prop five times out of his seven total NFL games played, Richardson will have an uphill climb in Week 4.
It may be wise for the former Florida Gator and coach Shane Steichen to lean on the ground game. The point total on this game is set at 40, with the Steelers as the odds-on favorite to win at -125. The Colts are not expected to have a massive passing day. Take the lower on this NFL PrizePicks prop of 26 passing attempts.
Noah Brown (WR, Washington Commanders) MORE Than 28.5 Receiving Yards
Last week, the Washington Commanders put all NFL viewers on notice; They are not to be snoozed on this season. Beating the Cincinnati Bengals 38 to 33, the Commanders “commanded” the game, and at the hand of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who had a respectable 254 passing yards. One of those pass-catchers was Noah Brown, who had 29 receiving yards on just three receptions. His teammate Austin Ekeler, known as a dual threat in both the rushing and receiving game, is currently out with a concussion and lacerated ear. Someone has to pick up the extra receiving work. Why not Brown?
In his ninth NFL season and on his third team, Brown, listed as the Washington Commanders WR2 on the depth chart, is making contributions to this offense. In Week 2, he had 56 receiving yards, also just on three receptions. Brown can easily surpass 28.5 receiving yards this Sunday. He has hit the over in six of his last 10 games played; the talent is there. Additionally, the Commanders and the Arizona Cardinals foray is expected to be high-scoring, with the point total set at 50. There will be non-stop passing attacks on both sides of the ball. Brown will feast for the Commanders. Swoop up the over on this NFL PrizePicks prop!
