We came close to a sweep again last week. Kayshon Boutte was not targeted until the final three minutes of the game and finished with two receptions. We only needed one more reception for the sweep, but if you played them individually, you made money. I have three more plays for the Sunday slate, including one Demon square. Here are my top NFL Week 4 PrizePicks player predictions, which come with a 6X multiplier if you opt for the Power Play.

The Bengals play the Jaguars this week, who are one of the toughest matchups for running backs. They allow the fourth-fewest rushing yards to the position this season, but they allow 5.3 receptions per game to running backs. Chase Brown may have a tough time finding room to run, but the Bengals should scheme up ways to get him the ball.
This is the lone Demon square on the card, but it is a good one. Brown has played at least 70% of the snaps in every game this season. He has not eclipsed 100 rushing yards in a game, but is seeing a good amount of targets. He received six against the Buccaneers in Week 1, five against the Texans in Week 2 and two against the Steelers last week.
DraftKings Sportsbook has the odds at +111 to go over 3.5 receptions, but he should see more targets this week as the Bengals manufacture ways to get him the ball in space.
Breece Hall has not practiced this week and is week-to-week with a quad injury. I would not expect him to suit up this week, which opens the door for Braelon Allen against a bad Chicago Bears defense. Allen has only 19 attempts for 61 yards this season, and that was while playing behind Hall. He and Isaiah Davis should be in the backfield, but Allen should get the bulk of the work.
The matchup is juicy for Allen. The Bears allow the ninth-highest explosive run rate and the most yards before contact per attempt. There will be big holes for him to run through. Allen is not the most efficient back, but he can get the job done on the ground against this defense.
The Broncos have an elite secondary, and the 49ers' receiving options are depleted. Mike Evans (rib) has not practiced this week and was seen working to the side with a trainer on Thursday. George Kittle, Deebo Samuel Sr. and Christian McCaffrey should be the top targets for Brock Purdy this week against a tough secondary.
That should put a lot of pressure on Purdy to find the open target or make plays with his legs. Purdy has at least 29 rushing yards in all three games this season, including two attempts for 34 yards last week.
Denver allowed 23 yards and a touchdown against Patrick Mahomes in Week 1, while holding Trevor Lawrence to six yards in Week 2. Matthew Stafford ran for 13 yards in Week 3, more than his total rushing yards over the past two seasons combined. Purdy should look to make plays on the ground this week, like he has all season.
