Week 4 risers and fallers
Every player whose role changed the most in week 4, measured against his own average from weeks 1–3. Role changes show up in snap and target share a week or two before they show up in fantasy points.

Fallers
Large drops for regular starters are flagged, since they usually mean an in-game injury rather than a lost role.
