In Week 4, Houston Texans running back Cam Akers is expected to step up as the lead back due to injuries sidelining Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce. While the Texans remain hopeful about Pierce's return, his participation is uncertain, making Akers a solid fantasy start against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Meanwhile, Kansas City Chiefs' Kareem Hunt is advised to be benched, while Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Rachaad White struggles early this season. Cincinnati Bengals' Mike Gesicki shines as a tight end option, and New York Jets' Braelon Allen is not recommended for starting due to limited touches.
