Rashee Rice Removed From Injury Report, Ready To Face Tough Divisional Opponent
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was listed on this week's injury report with the same knee injury he has been rehabbing all offseason, so nothing new to report on that front. He practiced fully in every practice session this week and is no longer listed on the report heading into the weekend. Rice is coming off his best game of the season in last week's 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Rice caught seven passes for 88 yards, leading the team in catches, yards, and targets by a large margin. Perhaps the easy matchup against Miami was just what Rice needed to have a get-right game. This week's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders may not be so easy. The Raiders defense looks like one of the most improved units year over year, holding opposing offenses to low scoring outputs in two of three games this season. Rice will have to compete with tight end Travis Kelce for valuable targets while contending with the Las Vegas defensive backs. Rice is ranked WR17 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a fine WR2 in most leagues.

Emmett Johnson To Maintain RB2 Role In Las Vegas
Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Emmett Johnson will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. The 22-year-old has been electrifying in his limited touches behind starter Kenneth Walker, placing among the league's best in forced missed tackles per attempt. Despite not catching a single pass in last week's contest, Johnson has been particularly efficient as a pass catcher out of the backfield. The rookie will now get to face the tough Raiders defense in an AFC West matchup this Sunday. Despite his success, Johnson's fantasy value is ultimately tied to the health of Walker. As long as Walker remains healthy, Johnson will remain in a secondary role. Johnson will look to make the most of his touches against a tough Raiders defense. The Raiders have been a turnover machine in the first three weeks, racking up four interceptions and five recovered fumbles, which is a testament to the strength and aggressiveness of the unit. Johnson is ranked RB43 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a deep league flex option for those struggling with running back injuries this week.

Jalon Daniels is Desperation Deep League Play
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jalon Daniels will make his first career start against the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Daniels will likely be under center for a few weeks with Baker Mayfield (thumb) out for at least three weeks. Daniels won the backup gig in camp, but he went undrafted out of Kansas. He has a decent arm and scrambling upside, but it's probably not enough to contribute legitimate fantasy value. Mayfield was struggling to find success, so it's unlikely that Daniels would be any better. He has a decent matchup against the Packers defense, but Daniels shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a desperation deep league play for Week 4.

Xavier Worthy More Of A Dart Throw In Week 4
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Worthy's performance in the 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins last week raised more concerns than optimism for his future performances. Worthy reeled in two catches for 20 yards on two targets in the contest. Despite the easy matchup, the third-year wideout finished with fewer yards and targets than Noah Gray in Week 3. Worthy will now have to face a tough Raiders defense in a matchup of two undefeated AFC West teams. Worthy will be involved in this week's matchup, but just how involved he will be is anyone's guess. Worthy is ranked WR60 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a deep league flex option. Fantasy managers suffering from injuries may have to throw Worthy into lineups, but in most cases, there should be better options available.
