Week 4 is the final week before the byes. Furthermore, it’s the first week with a Sunday morning game abroad, with the Vikings and Steelers playing in Ireland. Below, I’ve highlighted all the players in my player pool for Sunday’s main slate. I’ll provide an update with my showdown selections and any necessary changes after Friday’s final injury reports trickle in.
Updated at 2:15 a.m. ET on September 27, 2025. Two new players were added to the main slate suggestions, and they’re italicized. The showdown suggestions are also available.
