Week 4 Revenge Games: 7 Players Out to Torch Their Ex-Teams

Week 4 Revenge Games: 7 Players Out to Torch Their Ex-Teams

This week's historical revenge takes us back to 1941 during WWII. Devastated by her husband’s death on the Eastern Front, Mariya Vasilyevna Oktyabrskaya sold all her belongings to buy a Soviet T-34 battle tank. She named it “Fighting Girlfriend” and drove it directly into combat, becoming a legendary tank ace who crushed anti-tank guns and braved heavy artillery fire to get her revenge.

Revenge is always on the minds of those done dirty, and not all NFL players who changed teams were necessarily wronged, but we have to assume some sort of vengeance lies within.

I outlined what I found from 11 years of data in the article Revenge Games: 11 Years of Data on Fantasy Breakouts vs. Former Teams, and this weekly article dives into who’s seeking retribution each week.

Before I get into this week's revengers, let’s look at how Week 3 shook out:

Week 4 Revenge Seekers

Derrick Henry (BAL) vs. Titans

He's the RB3 on the season, averaging 24.1 in half-PPR scoring on a per-game basis, and Derrick Henry is facing the team he played for from 2013-2023 this week. You don't need me to tell you to start Henry, but in case you need some more ammo, the Titans rank 28th against RBs so far in aFPA in 2026. He could torch Earth on Sunday in this retribution tilt.

Dalton Schultz (HOU) vs. Cowboys

Dallas selected Dalton Schultz with pick 137 in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he played for the Cowboys until signing with the Texans as a free agent in March of 2023. Schultz has only had one productive contest so far in 2026, but this week, with revenge on tap and a depleted Dallas secondary, we could see more fantasy relevance as a top-10 TE.

Kalif Raymond (CHI) vs. Patriots

Just two targets behind Luther Burden in the Chicago WR room, Kalif Raymond is WR19 in half-PPR scoring per game with 12.3 heading into Week 4. He gets a home contest this week against the Jets, a team he had a cup of coffee with on the practice squad in 2017. Revenge may not be as prominent as some others, but Raymond could be bitter that he didn't make the active roster and want some sort of retribution. He's been a nice surprise to those who likely grabbed him in Week 1 off the waiver wire and could be a nice flex guy this week for those in need.

Mack Hollins (NE) @ Bills

Coming off a 6-87-0 line in Week 3, Mack Hollins is WR42 in half-PPR scoring and is facing his former Buffalo squad on the road this week. Hollins was a member of the Bills in 2024 before joining New England in 2025. He could be usable in the flex for those searching for a body with some upside.
