Top NFL Week 4 DFS picks for Sunday

One of the optimizer’s top DFS value picks for Sunday is Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson ($5,600 at DraftKings, $6,200 at FanDuel). The move from Bryce Young to Andy Dalton did wonders for the Panthers’ offense last week, and no one was a bigger benefactor of it than Johnson. The 28-year-old had eight receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets after totaling 34 yards and catching less than 50% of his targets from Young. Dalton is an experienced quarterback who knows how to get the ball to his receivers, and Johnson had more than 650 yards in each of his first five seasons as a proven pass catcher.

The Panthers play the Bengals, who allowed Commanders WR1 Terry McLaurin to rush for 100 yards and a touchdown last week. The Bengals have one of the softest pass defenses in the NFL this season, with opponents completing 75% of their passes against them. With Adam Thielen (hamstring injury) on IR, expect Dalton to again rely heavily on Johnson for the Week 4 NFL DFS pick. See who else you can choose here.

The Optimizer’s NFL DFS strategy also includes drafting Jets running back Breece Hall ($7,800 at DraftKings, $8,000 at FanDuel). Hall has scored a touchdown in all three games this season and was on an extended break until Sunday after playing on Thursday Night Football last week. Hall rushed for 54 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown and had four receptions for 29 yards last week against the Patriots. He averages 96.7 total yards per game.

The Jets play the Broncos, who are allowing 126 rushing yards per game, which is 21st in the NFL. Denver also ranks eighth in most receptions allowed to opposing running backs, setting Hall apart from the other running backs in the NFL DFS player pool. The third-year player had 76 receptions last season and shows a quick rapport with Aaron Rodgers, making him a strong option for Week 4 NFL DFS lineups.
