The Bottom Line

Week 4 is about identity and separation. The Yinzers and Rebels square off in the biggest game of the year so far. The Monarchs and Kamikazes look poised to dominate. And for the Atoms, Warlords, and Mercenaries, desperation has arrived early. Expect fireworks from Lamar, CMC, Jefferson, and Diggs — but don’t be surprised if defensive monsters like Micah Parsons or Myles Garrett steal the spotlight.
