TNF Giants vs. Cowboys Fantasy Football Week 4 Start 'Em picks
The Dallas Cowboys' offense has been led by their passing game so far, giving them some intriguing targets in fantasy football. Dak Prescott turned in a season-best QB2 finish last week, making him a strong quarterback to use in Week 4 lineups. Jake Ferguson joins him as another solid option after he finished as the TE3 last week.

Devin Singletary will join them as a solid target this week, especially against the Cowboys' bottom-ranked rushing defense.

TNF Giants vs. Cowboys Fantasy Football Week 4 Sit 'Em picks
While both teams in this Thursday Night Football showdown include strong lineup options for fantasy football, they also have plenty of players that should be avoided. The Cowboys' running backs are at the top of the list as their committee approach to the ground game this year has produced frustrating results. All of their backs should be avoided in Week 4 lineups.
The Giants' wide receivers are in a similar situation, except for Malik Nabers, who has quickly become an elite fantasy option. The rest of their players at the position have yet to provide any valuable output, and their inconsistency makes them easy to fade in starting lineups. They have plenty of talent and speed, but Nabers' massive workload negatively impacts their fantasy outlook.
Here is a full list of players to avoid in Week 4 lineups from this matchup:
Must Sits
- Ezekiel Elliot
- Rico Dowdle
- Wan'Dale Robinson
- Jalin Hyatt
- Darius Slayton
- Brandin Cooks
- Theo Johnson
DFS Fades
- Rico Dowdle
- Darius Slayton
- Brandin Cooks
The Thursday Night Football matchup between the Cowboys and the Giants will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET inside MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The game will air on Amazon Prime Video.
