In Week 4 of the NFL season, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf are highlighted as must-start fantasy options. Allen faces a Washington Commanders defense that ranks last in the league, having allowed six touchdowns to wide receivers and averaging 38.8 fantasy points per game. Metcalf is up against the Cleveland Browns, who have allowed five touchdowns to the position and rank poorly in pass defense.
