Use these player salaries as context for building your week 4 OwnersBox lineups. With salaries being set each Monday, they cannot be changed. Injuries and depth chart movement has impacted the value of these players salary significantly.
- With Christian McCaffrey out this week, Austin Ekeler takes his place at the top. Ekeler has been very involved in the receiving game, as well as being efficient on the ground. With 2 TDs in the first 3 games, we’re also seeing him finally get that touchdown upside, which is all we needed to see to rank him at the top. Expect a high scoring game on Monday night against the Raiders and massive involvement from Ekeler.
- Just like Ekeler, D’Andre Swift is getting those receiving numbers in this Lions offense. The Bears run defense isn’t bad, but that shouldn’t stop Swift from seeing his workload. Still being underrated because of the terrible team he’s on, Swift should be a consensus top 10 maybe top 5 RB the rest of the way. $6,700 is a great price for him too, definitely look his way in your OwnersBox lineups.
- Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard are right next to each other at 14 and 15 in my rankings. We need to consider this backfield a committee at this point. I would have the duo ranked higher, but Carolina has had a sneaky incredible run defense so far. It may be tough sledding for both guys but with how much overall volume there is, I like both as RB2s
