Fantasy football Week 4: Five players who could flop

Frankly, this projection makes no sense. Pacheco hasn't scored more than 5.8 PPR points in a game this year, and he's playing just over 50 percent of Kansas City's offensive snaps. Kareem Hunt also handles the goal-line work for the Chiefs, so Pacheco's ceiling is severely capped by his usage. Leave Pacheco on the bench until he shows any signs of life.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase vs. Broncos

PPR projection: 16.6

Look, you're obviously not benching Chase, but don't be surprised if he can't even reach double-digit fantasy points on Monday night. In Jake Browning's first start of the season, Chase managed just five catches on six targets for 50 yards. Now he has to go up against Patrick Surtain, the best cover corner in the NFL. 

Vikings WR Jordan Addison vs. Steelers

PPR projection: 10.8

Fantasy managers will be excited to slot Addison into their lineups now that he's back from his three-game suspension, but you might want to be patient here. Addison probably isn't in game shape to play extended snaps yet, and he will have only a few days to practice with quarterback Carson Wentz. You should wait until Addison and Wentz build some chemistry together. 

Lions TE Sam LaPorta vs. Browns

PPR projection: 9.7

LaPorta has taken a back seat in this passing offense recently. The tight end has recorded only eight targets, seven catches and 59 yards over the last two weeks. Detroit could struggle to move the ball consistently against a Browns defense that ranks fourth in passing yards allowed per game (147.0), so LaPorta will likely need a touchdown to surpass this projection.
