Here are five sleepers worth putting in your starting lineup in Week 4.
RYAN TANNEHILL
It may come as a surprise that the Miami Dolphins quarterback is fifth in passer rating behind Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Drew Brees this season, but he’s playing well and has a favourable match-up against a struggling New England Patriots defence this week.
Tannehill has topped 300 yards through the air in each of his past four meetings against New England, and while the Patriots defence should improve at some point, it’s still looking vulnerable at the moment.
JAVORIUS ALLEN
Aside from his end-zone visits through three games, Allen hasn’t given fantasy owners much to hang their hat on. But that could change this weekend, when the combination of opportunities and a positive game script could result in him being a profitable play, whether he scores a touchdown or not.
Allen is cemented as Baltimore’s pass-catching back and with the Ravens likely needing plenty of points to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, he should add value with his receiving stats.
The Ravens have 6 rushing attempts inside the 5-yard line this season. Here's how the carries have been distributed:

Kenneth Dixon: 1
CHRIS GODWIN
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout may have had one of the most frustrating, roller-coaster games last week, but he still ended up delivering a touchdown for the third straight game.
He’s not the go-to option like Mike Evans or the deep threat like DeSean Jackson, but there’s been no shortage of opportunities for Godwin, especially in the red zone.
It would help if Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the starter, which seems like the case for at least one more week.
ANTONIO CALLAWAY
Don’t jump off the Cleveland Browns wide receiver just yet because he had a quiet Week 3, in which he managed just four catches for 20 yards.
The 10 targets he saw were encouraging and when he turns them to receptions, there’s potential for big plays, as we saw in his three-catch, 81-yard performance in Week 2.
And the Browns offence should be more vertical now that Baker Mayfield has been named the starter. Against the lowly Oakland Raiders, Callaway is a flex play.
Antonio Callaway saw his snap share increase from 16.9% in week 1 to 80.6% in week 2 and now 89.6% in week three. He was also targeted ten times this week.

You think the Browns want to get him more involved? Buy now especially with Baker at the helm
TYLER EIFERT
Eifert is coming off his best game since October 2016 and with how banged-up the Atlanta Falcons defence is, the Cincinnati Bengals tight end could feast.
The Falcons, who just gave up 534 total yards and 43 points last week, are without Keanu Neal, Ricardo Allen and Deion Jones, with the latter’s absence particularly benefitting Eifert, who should have room to work over the middle.
If you need a streaming tight end this weekend, Eifert is your guy.
