Start or Sit These IDP Players on Monday Night to Win Week 4 Fantasy

Week 4 Monday Night Football brings us the surprising 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders (tied with the Broncos for first in their division) facing off against the 2-1 Los Angeles Chargers. Divisional match-ups are are always fun as you have two teams that know each other very well both vying for an early season advantage in divisional tiebreakers. Will the Raiders keep up their hot streak or will the Chargers continue their divisional win streak after beating the Chiefs last week?

Either way there will be IDP players worth starting in the game, and I am here to help you identify which ones I feel are the best plays. So let’s get to it!

Start or Sit These IDP Players on Monday Night to Win Week 4 Fantasy: Defensive Linemen

Start or Sit These IDP Players on Monday Night to Win Week 4 Fantasy – Quinton Jefferson

Quinton Jefferson – Las Vegas Raiders – Sit

Quinton has a plus matchup and has had at least a solo each week. He sits at a 60% snap share average and is the best regular interior linemen for the Raiders. He has also graded out well in tackling and pass rushing. It isn’t a great match-up, but I think he is the best IL/DT option on the slate this week.

Linval Joseph & Christian Covington – Los Angeles Chargers – Start

These two do not inspire a lot of confidence, but IL/DT required leagues make you dig deep and the Raiders give up the third most points to opposing defensive tackles. Both of these guys have at least 2 combined tackles each week and have played at least 49% (Joseph) and 53% (Covington) of snaps this year. If you are playing waiver wire roulette, neither of these are bad options.

Start or Sit These IDP Players on Monday Night to Win Week 4 Fantasy – Joey Bosa

Kyler Fackrell and Uchenna Nwosu – Los Angeles Chargers – Sit

Of these two, neither have played a lot year and neither have produced starter-worthy numbers. Sit them both.

Joey Bosa – Los Angeles Chargers – Sit

Ok, they say don’t sit your studs. If you don’t have a viable replacement, I would play him, but Joey isn’t fully healthy, and the Raiders do not give up a lot of points to defensive ends this year. He has only had one decent week (Week 1). Weeks 2 and 3 he combined for 3 solos, 3 assist, and half a sack. I don’t like the matchup and his current situation.

Yannick Ngakoue – Las Vegas Raiders – Sit

Yannick has two solos and 4 assists in three games. Week 3 was his highest snap count of the year at 73% and he only had 1 assist. He is big play dependent and not getting it done. Bench him this week.

Maxx Crosby & Solomon Thomas – Las Vegas Raiders- Start

Maxx had a big Week 1, an alright Week 2, and a poor Week 3. If one of the starters produce on the edge for the Raiders, it will be him. The Chargers are slightly better than middle of the road in points given up to opposing defensive ends, and he is much more likely to get your tackles than Yannick.

Solomon has played well for the Raiders with about a 37% snap share; he has had a 44% share each of the past two wee...
