Vikings running back Aaron Jones is in a revenge game against his former team on Sunday, as Minnesota travels to Green Bay during the Week 4 NFL schedule. Jones posted his first 100-yard rushing performance with the Vikings last week, finishing with 102 yards on 19 carries. He also scored his first touchdown of the season on a pass from Sam Darnold, finishing with five receptions for the second straight week. Finding running backs who are heavily involved in the passing game can give you an edge in Week 4 NFL DFS contests.
It is also important to target quarterbacks in the NFL DFS player pool who are available at the right price, and Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels could be one of those players this week. Daniels finished with nearly 30 DK points in a road win at Cincinnati last Monday, giving him more than 28 in two of his first three games in the NFL.

Top NFL Week 4 DFS picks for Sunday
One of the optimizer's top DFS value picks for Sunday is Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray ($6,800 on DraftKings, $8,700 on FanDuel). Murray had a quiet outing in Week 1 at Buffalo, but he has gone over 200 passing yards with four combined passing touchdowns in his two games since then. Harrison Jr. has emerged as an elite rookie target, racking up nearly 200 yards and three scores over his last two outings.
Murray has a favorable matchup against a Washington defense that ranks second-worst in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (255.7) and fourth-worst in total yards allowed per game (377.3). This is also Murray's third consecutive home game, giving him a scheduling edge against a Washington defense that is on the road for the second week in a row. The 27-year-old quarterback has rushed for 161 yards in three games, so Murray can deliver in multiple ways on Sunday. See who else to pick here.
The optimizer's NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson ($5,600 on DraftKings, $6,200 on FanDuel). The 28-year-old was a breakout player in Week 3, catching eight passes for 122 yards and a touchdown at Las Vegas. He got a huge boost from veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, commanding more targets (14) than he had from Bryce Young in the first two weeks combined.
Carolina wide receiver Adam Thielen is on the injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, so Johnson could be even more of a focus this week. He is facing a Cincinnati defense that has allowed a wide receiver touchdown in each of the last two weeks, as Rashee Rice and Terry McLaurin each went for over 100 yards and a score. Johnson is an undervalued player this week, as the offense looked much better with Dalton at the helm. You can see the rest of the optimizer's NFL DFS picks here.
