Fantasy football Week 4: Jordan Love among five players who could smash projections

Love has cleared this projection just once in three games, but you should trust him in this matchup. In their first three games, the Cowboys gave up 24.3 points to Philadelphia's  Jalen Hurts, 30.3 points to the New York Giants' Russell Wilson and 29.1 points to Chicago's Caleb Williams. This defense is a mess, and cornerbacks DaRon Bland (foot) and Trevon Diggs (shoulder) might not play Sunday. 

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson vs. Panthers

PPR projection: 7.5

Henderson hasn't been involved as much as fantasy owners had hoped to start the season, but that could change this week. After Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson fumbled against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Henderson got career-highs in snap count (46 percent) and touches (14). If that trend continues into Week 4, Henderson could have his breakout performance against a Panthers defense that ranks 30th in the NFL in yards allowed per rush (5.4).

Packers WR Matthew Golden vs. Cowboys

PPR projection: 10.8

After scoring just 5.1 total points in his first two games, Golden came to life in Week 3 with four catches for 52 yards and 10.1 PPR points. The rookie played 48 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 1, 59 percent in Week 2 and 71 percent in Week 3, so the Packers are starting to trust him as an every-down receiver. Golden's elite speed should terrorize this beat-up Cowboys secondary. Dallas is allowing a league-worst 288 yards passing a game.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka vs. Eagles

PPR projection: 14.9

How are the Eagles going to slow rookie Egbuka (14 catches, 181 yards, three TD catches)? Not only was cornerback Jakorian Bennett placed on injured reserve, but CB Adoree' Jackson (groin) also hasn't practiced this week. CB Quinyon Mitchell doesn't shadow No. 1 wide receivers, so the Buccaneers should find creative ways to get the ball to Egbuka.

Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II vs. Giants

PPR projection: 4.5

Gadsden probably isn't rostered in your league, but he will be soon. The talented rookie made his NFL debut last week, catching  five of his seven targets for 46 yards (9.6 PPR points). Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and head coach Jim Harbaugh praised Gadsden after the performance, so he's not going anywhere. Pick him up before your league mates catch on.
