Welcome to Week 4 of Money Makers and Heart Breakers for the 2024 NFL season! Every week, I break down the top NFL DFS picks for the Sunday main slate—highlighting players who can bring home the cash and those who might leave you regretting your choices.
It has been a crazy season so far. Lots of injuries to key players across the board. Some surprising breakouts like Jauan Jennings in Week 3. All around craziness with the entire tight end position. We will reign all of that in this week here. So let’s get it started!
Here is a brief definition of each of my terms for anyone that might be new:
💰 Money Maker – This player will perform better than expectations
💔 Heart Breaker – This player will perform lower than expectations
Week 4 Money Makers💰
Quarterbacks
Kyler Murray
The Cardinals play the Commanders in Week 4, The Commanders give up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Every quarterback that has played against the Commanders has passed for multiple touchdowns through the first three games. Murray will get it done through the air and with his legs in Week 4. Expect him to rush for over 50 yards and pass for over 200 yards with multiple touchdowns. Everyone produces against the Commanders. Here he comes to save the day the guy that looks like Mighty Mouse is on his way.

CJ Stroud
Stroud will get right against the Jaguars in Week 4. The Jaguars give up the second most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. After facing three defenses that have been tough against the pass it will be nice to see the Texans let it loose. On average quarterbacks pass for 263 yards and 1.7 touchdowns against the Jaguars. The get-right game we wanted is here.

You see the theme. The Bears get to play the Rams in Week 4. The Rams give up the third most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. The Rams have given up over 250 yards and 3 touchdowns in each of the past two games. In Week 3 Williams appears to start figuring things out with a 363-yard, 2-touchdown game of his own. Look for Caleb to paint his nails and the town red after a win in Week 4.

Cam Akers
In Week 3 Akers was playable. He did score a touchdown. If Mixon and Pierce are unable to go, Akers is the play. The Texans play the Jaguars who cannot stop the pass or the run. The Jaguars give up the fourth most fantasy points to running backs. Akers is aching for a crack at the Jaguars

Week 4 Heart Breakers💔
Quarter Backs
Anthony Richardson
Richardson has been inaccurate so far this season. He has 36 completions on 73 pass attempts. In Week 4 he gets to take his inaccuracy to a new level against the Steelers. The Steelers give up the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Granted they haven’t played anyone. But with the pathetic play Richardson has had the past two games is he a someone? Pass on Richardson in Week 4.
Bo Nix
Bo Nix is one of the nobodies who played against the Steelers. This week he gets to play against the Jets who give up the second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. The good news is Nix should get to keep his streak of no touchdown passes alive this week. Put a nix on any thoughts of playing Bo in Week 4.
Matthew Stafford
Are there any wide receivers playing for the Rams that are starting caliber for the NFL? Top it off with the Bears are up next with their tough defense against the pass in Week 4. In Chicago. Expect the Rams to utilize Kyren Williams a lot and Stafford to have a not-so-good game in Week 4.
Running Backs
Jonathan Taylor
The Colts play the Steelers in Week 4. The Steelers defend the run almost as good as they defend the pass. They are the second toughest defense for running backs to score fantasy points against. Now with that said, I am playing Taylor in season-long formats if I have him. But I am not paying for him in DFS.
Alvin Kamara
Kamara is dinged up a bit and has been limited in practice, which isn’t good. The Saints play the Falcons in Week 4. The Falcons are very stingy against the running backs. With Kamara dinged up a bit and the Falcons being good against the run I would pass on playing him in DFS.
JK Dobbins
Dobbins had a tough time in Week 3 against the Steelers defense. It doesn’t get any easier in Week 4 against the Chiefs defense. Not a single running back has rushed for 50 yards against the Chiefs. No running back has scored more than 12 fantasy point against the Chiefs. No thank you JK Dobbins.
Wide Receivers
Amon-Ra St. Brown (Seahawks fewest)
The Lions play the Seahawks in Week 4. The Seahawks give up the least amount of fantasy points to wide receivers. With that said I love the Sun God and I know he will do at the very least decent against the Seahawks. But I wouldn’t play him in DFS. This game looks like the Full Monty for the Lions.
Garrett Wilson
Patrick Surtain will be covering Wilson in Week 4. That’s it, that’s all you need to know. Curtains for certain when Surtain on you. (say that 5 times fast)
Tyreek Hill
Who is playing quarterback for Miami in Week 4. There is no Tua Tagovailao. I know it’s not a main slate game. I don’t care. Hill is going to struggle in Week 4 against the Titans defense.
NOTE: Look I needed to fill space here and I like Tyreek Hill.
Tight Ends
Hunter Henry
The Patriots play the Niners in Week 4. The Niners give up the fewest fantasy points to tight ends. I am writing about Henry. If Henry can score 4 fantasy points it will be the most scored by a tight end against the Niners this season.
Dallas Goedert
Goedert might be the only starting pass catcher playing for the Eagles in Week 4. The Eagles play the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers give up the fourth fewest fantasy points to tight ends. Goedert could see a super high volume of pass and screw this up for me. But I am trusting the Buccaneers defense that held Sam LaPorta to 2 catches for 13 yards in Week 2.
