Fantasy: 5 last-minute additions poised for big games in Week 4

Each week, we take a look at five last-minute additions for your fantasy team heading into NFL Sunday.

Christian Kirk, WR, Cardinals

vs. Seahawks

Kirk's role gradually expanded throughout the first three weeks of his rookie season. The buildup led to an eight-target, seven-catch performance for 90 yards against the Chicago Bears last Sunday.

The 47th pick of the 2018 NFL Draft will now get a chance to work with No. 10 pick, Josh Rosen, as he makes his first start under center in place of Sam Bradford against the Seattle Seahawks.

Arizona is listed as a 3.5-point underdog in a projected low-scoring affair, according to Covers.com, but Kirk could be highly involved in the passing game. The Cardinals' No. 1 wideout in Larry Fitzgerald is bothered by a hamstring issue and Chad Williams has caught just one pass on 10 targets through three weeks.

Rashard Higgins, WR, Browns

at Raiders

Higgins is listed as the Browns' No. 3 receiver behind Jarvis Landry and rookie Antonio Callaway. The switch to Baker Mayfield provided an immediate boost to the Browns' offense last week, and more of the same can be expected in a highly favorable matchup against the Raiders, who have allowed more pass yards per attempt than all but two teams.

The third-year receiver has caught passes at an average of 12.0 yards per reception through his first 34 games. At 6-foot-1, Higgins has a size advantage over both Landry and Callaway; he could quickly endear himself to Mayfield as a red-zone threat with his 64.3 percent catch rate.

Taywan Taylor, WR, Titans

vs. Eagles

Taylor scored his first touchdown of the season against the Houston Texans in Week 2 with Blaine Gabbert starting at quarterback. He's caught seven of 10 targets on the season, and his role in the offense will continue to grow following the release of Rishard Matthews.

Marcus Mariota is expected to return as the starting pivot against the Eagles, but his ongoing elbow issues may limit his ability to throw the deep ball.

Taylor doesn't possess much touchdown upside, but he could become a must-have in PPR formats with the Titans lacking their three leading pass-catchers from 2017 in Matthews, tight end Delanie Walker, and retired wide receiver Eric Decker.

Dallas Goedert, TE, Eagles

at Titans

Goedert and Carson Wentz showed instant chemistry in the quarterback's season debut last week. The two connected on all seven targets, with the rookie tight end turning those into 73 yards and the first touchdown of his career.

Veteran Zach Ertz received 10 targets while adding 73 yards, showing that both options can be viable in the same week.

Ertz, Trey Burton, and Brent Celek combined for 163 targets last season in head coach Doug Pederson's system. Although the Titans have performed well against opposing tight ends, there's plenty of work to be had for Goedert and Ertz should wide receiver Alshon Jeffery remain sidelined.

Nyheim Hines, RB, Colts

vs. Texans

Only 13 running backs league-wide have been used more in the passing game this season than Hines. The rookie has caught 13 of 15 targets for a modest 56 yards.

Quarterback Andrew Luck ranks 31st among qualified passers while averaging just 5.3 yards per attempt through his first three games back from injury. With tight end Jack Doyle sidelined, Hines may see an increased role in the passing game as Luck's safest option.

Marlon Mack is expected to return from injury this week, but the Texans have allowed 5.7 catches and 57.7 receiving yards per game to running backs through three weeks, allowing Hines to fill a significant role as the top receiving back.
