Keenan Allen vs Courtland Sutton vs Michael Pittman Jr.: Week 4 Fantasy Football Start' Em Sit 'Em picks

Managers are forced to make crucial lineup decisions during each week of the fantasy football season. Some of them may be debating between Keenan Allen, Courtland Sutton, and Michael Pittman Jr. for one of their Week 4 wide receiver slots. Here's who makes for the best pick to use in starting lineups this week.

Is Keenan Allen a good fantasy pick in Week 4?

Keenan Allen

Keenan Allen has missed each of the past two weeks for the Chicago Bears with a heel injury. He has been practicing ahead of their Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, so he appears to have a good shot at making his return.

If Allen is in fact activated, he will look to get back to his promising volume from his Week 1 game. He played in 68% of the snaps and was targeted 11 times, making him an intriguing option for Week 4 fantasy football lineups.

Is Courtland Sutton a good fantasy pick in Week 4?

Courtland Sutton

Courtalnd Sutton has clearly been the preferred passing target for rookie quarterback Bo Nix during the 2024 season so far. The veteran wide receiver has already been targeted 27 times in just three games this year.

The issue is that he has turned that into just 12 receptions for 132 yards and has failed to score a touchdown. He will look to get back on track in Week 4, but it won't be an easy task against the New York Jets' stingy passing defense.

Is Michael Pittman Jr. a good fantasy pick in Week 4?

Michael Pittman Jr.

Michael Pittman Jr. entered the 2024 fantasy football season having ranked among the top 25 wide receivers in three consecutive years for the Indianapolis Colts. He had high expectations of being a reliable option once again, but has failed to deliver.

The veteran has recorded just 11 receptions on 20 targets for 88 yards and ranks as just the WR74 so far. Things won't get any easier for him in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers' elite defense.

Keenan Allen vs Courtland Sutton vs Michael Pittman Jr.: Who should I start in Week 4 fantasy football?

All three wide receivers are risky options in Week 4 of the 2024 fantasy football season, but Keenan Allen is the preferred pick if he is able to return from his heel injury.

Courtland Sutton and Michael Pittman Jr. have extremely difficult matchups this week, while Allen's situation is more favorable.
