The NFL DFS Week 4 Sunday main slate is packed with ideal game stacks, smash matchup spots, and crucial roster opportunities. Building off a high-flying Week 3 Playbook that fought hard against the lineup trains in cash games, but cashed well in GPP tournament formats, our NFL DFS Projections delivered differential plays that set lineups apart. Top overall core plays like Jahmyr Gibbs and Kenneth Walker exploded for massive fantasy days. Meanwhile, key DFS NFL value picks unlocked elite roster construction, headlined by our low-owned New York Jets GPP stack where Geno Smith tossed 3 touchdowns, connecting with Garrett Wilson (10 catches, 107 yards, TD) and rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq for a breakout 105-yard, one-TD performance. Week 4 brings fresh injury pivots and pricing soft spots across DraftKings and FanDuel, making accurate NFL DFS Week 4 preparation paramount. 

NFL Week 4 DFS Picks & Preview for DraftKings & FanDuel: Sunday, 10/4

Sunday’s main slate showcases just 12 games, as this week’s international game takes place in London with a 9:30am ET kickoff, but is still packed with fast-paced offenses, high totals, and mispriced skill players ripe for tournament stacking. We are missing some top players as Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson and DFS bargain favorite Tyler Shough are playing in primetime, but we’re going to look at that as a positive as jamming in some of their salaries can be a daunting task. It will be tough enough with a high-priced Derrick Henry facing his old team, the Tennessee Titans. You know we want a piece of that for cash games.

Before we get to our NFL DFS Week 4 picks, lets remind you of everything you need to know about all the information and tools you have at your disposal.

As a quick reminder, we have made significant enhancements to our NFL DFS tools. We are continually wrenching behind the scenes so that our NFL DFS projections are the best in the industry and in doing so, has subsequently improved things like our Lineup Generator/DFS Optimizer and our NFL DFS Ownership Projections.  In fact, our lineup generator has gone through some serious week-to-week transformations, so definitely test it out. Again, everything you need to succeed is right here on our site which we consider a one-stop shop for all your NFL DFS Week 4 Picks and beyond.

For those who may be new to the #FAmily, thank you for joining us. You’re going to be extremely happy you’ve become part of our family. All the aforementioned tools are, obviously, at your disposal as well, but please allow me to point you towards more of the content and tools we provide to help you crush your NFL DFS Week 4 picks and every week moving forward. It also makes for a nice introduction to our DFS team.

To add to our offerings, alongside our positional coaches, you also have plenty of other research content to use like the weekly DFS Watch List, where I provide you with a daily-updated list of players I am looking at throughout the week. You will also find the weekly DFS Dart Board which is filled with the best in DFS bargains and value picks. And, of course, you will also want to watch our weekly NFL DFS Show with me and Jon Impemba as we break down every position, highlight our favorite NFL DFS Week 4 picks, offer a core group of players to build around and then drop an example lineup either at the end of the show or into our NFL DFS channel on Discord. And yes, I will have NFL DFS Example Lineups posted every Sunday morning for you to compare your own builds. In fact, last week’s cash lineups, for the second week in a row, showed you exactly how to beat out some of the lineup trains that still persist.

If all of this sounds good to you and you’re ready to tackle NFL DFS Week 4, then let’s continue with our research for the Sunday Main Slate and help you find the best NFL DFS Week 4 picks for this week.

NFL Weather: Week 4 DFS Impact

Weather conditions across the October 4 Sunday main slate are generally favorable, which should be beneficial for NFL DFS Week 4, but a couple of outdoor venues along the eastern seaboard require attention before locking in lineups:

  • Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles: Temperatures in the 60s with rain showers in area throughout the game. There is a 50-percent chance of rain at the start, with more coming in as the afternoon continues. 
  • Arizona Cardinals at New York Giants: The rain seems to be moving in later in the day, so the game should play without any or much precipitation. Keep an eye on this throughout the weekend, though. 
  • Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Typical Florida weather here. Scattered thunderstorms in the area. Maybe even another delay if lightning persists again. The start of the game should be clear, however, with higher chances of storms developing as the game goes on. 
  • Tennessee Titans at Baltimore Ravens – More rain here, with a 60-75-percent chance of rain at the stadium during this game.

NFL Injuries: What To Know for Week 4 DFS

Before you sit down to even think about any sort of NFL DFS Week 4 lineup decisions, you should always check out the NFL Injury Report. Not every listed injury will have a major impact, but you should always be on the lookout for marquee players at the skill positions as well as key offensive line issues. Yes, there are certain injuries on defense to could come into play, so if there is something impactful, we will highlight it in this section each week. Staying on top of late-breaking injury news creates the biggest edge in NFL DFS Week 4 contests. Here are the key situations driving value across the slate:

NFL DFS Week 4 Picks: Howard Bender's Favorites

Before you start building lineups off of these core plays, understand that this is really just a primer for the full player pool. Scroll further down and you will see the full list of my own personal NFL DFS Week 4 player pool. I’ve spent this entire week studying everything about the upcoming matchups as well as everything we've witnessed over the first three weeks of the NFL season. I have combed through our NFL DFS projections and put together a list of candidates around which I am building most, and in some cases, all of my lineups. Still, people have asked me for my favorites, as if you don't already know reading the DFS Watch List and listening to me on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio as well as the DFS Show and Alarm Fantasy Football. I’m willing to bet you already know who some of my favorite NFL DFS Week 4 picks are already.

If you don’t already have an idea, then here is where I highlight a few from a variety of categories. One caveat – this in no way means that all of my lineups will consist of these players. Don't freak out if I post an example lineup or, even better, a lineup that cashed well, that doesn't include some of these players. Will they be in a lot of them? Absolutely. But in the time between posting this Playbook and the first Sunday kickoff, things can change. Ownership percentages can change. Weather can change. Gut feelings can change. These might be some of my favorite NFL DFS Week 4 picks, but this is a guideline, not the gospel.
