Start 'Em

• Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders: Jacobs has been one of the most consistent running backs in fantasy football this season, and he's in a great spot to have a big game against the Broncos in Week 4. Denver has allowed the most fantasy points per game to running backs so far this season.

The Texans are playing the Chargers in Week 4, and Los Angeles has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to running backs so far this season.

Waiver Wire Tips

• De'Von Achane, RB, Texans: Achane is a rookie running back who has been getting more and more work in Houston's backfield in recent weeks. He's got a chance to be the lead back in the near future, especially if Dameon Pierce is out with an injury.
