David Johnson Has Decent Week 4

Don't blame Houston Texans running back David Johnson for the bad playcalling at the end of Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings that led to him losing yards on a crucial third and goal. Instead, fantasy managers should focus on what he did throughout the game, which was gain 63 yards on 16 carries, as […]

Deshaun Watson Has 300 Yards Against Vikings

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson had his best game of the season against Minnesota on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to get Houston their first win of the season. Watson threw for 300 yards, completing 20-of-33 pass attempts with a pair of touchdowns. He had a third that was called back after a review showed […]

Nick Chubb Ruled Out For Week 4

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 4. Chubb not returning is a bad sign moving forward. If he misses time, Kareem Hunt becomes the bellcow running back for the Browns and a must-start RB2 play moving forward. Hopefully, though, it doesn't come to that and […]

Nick Chubb Questionable To Return In Week 4

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Chubb exited the game in the first half. If Chubb winds up missing time with the injury, Kareem Hunt would take over as the lead back for the team and would be an immediate high-end RB2 option.

Austin Ekeler Helped Off Field

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has been taken to the locker room after an apparent hamstring injury. It looked bad, though "looked bad" isn't really a medical diagnosis. We'll await word on how bad the injury really is, but for now, Joshua Kelley is the lead back for the Chargers. If Ekeler misses […]

Mike Evans Leaves Game Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has limped to the locker room after suffering an apparent lower leg injury against the Chargers. Already without Chris Godwin, the Buccaneers could be in a bad spot if Evans is unable to return to this game. Scotty Miller is now the top receiving option for quarterback Tom […]

LeSean McCoy Questionable To Return Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 4 against the Chargers. The Buccaneers are already without Leonard Fournette, so if McCoy is unable to return, they'll have to rely heavily on Ronald Jones II the rest of the way.

DeVante Parker Heading To Locker Room

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has gone to the locker room after having is ankle/foot looked at in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Something to monitor during the day, as the Dolphins don't have a ton of depth at the wide receiver position should Parker wind up not returning to this game and […]

John Ross III A Healthy Scratch Again

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross III is a healthy scratch against the Jaguars on Sunday, marking his second week in a row that the team hasn't had him suit up. The former first round pick looked like he was trending up in 2019, but it's now clear that he's not part of this team's […]

Scotty Miller Active In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller (hip/groin) will play in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Good news for the Bucs and quarterback Tom Brady, who were already set to be without wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring). The Chargers Defense should be able to limit the damage from Tampa, but in a Bruce […]

Terry McLaurin Active For Week 4

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (thigh) will play against the Ravens on Sunday. It's a terrible matchup for Washington, who are currently questioning their commitment to their starting quarterback and now face a strong Ravens Defense. The one good thing for McLaurin: he should be the primary target for Dwayne Haskins and has […]

Dede Westbrook Back To Inactive Status

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a healthy scratch for the third time in four games this season. He only played in Week 3 because D.J. Chark Jr. was out, and with Chark back, Westbrook is back to the bench. A once promising player out of Oklahoma, Westbrook isn't rosterable in redraft leagues at […]

Carlos Hyde Out, Chris Carson In For Week 4

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (shoulder) will not play in Week 4 against the Dolphins, while running back Chris Carson (knee) will play. Carson was injured last week and it initially looked like he'd miss time, but everything seems to be a go with him. He'll be the lead back this week and a […]

Texans/Vikings Officially Playing Sunday

It seemed like a foregone conclusion at this point, and with no positive COVID tests coming back on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will officially face the Houston Texans on Sunday. Minnesota managed to avoid getting caught up in the COVID outbreak that befell their Week 3 opponent, the Tennessee Titans. Start all your Vikings and […]

Ronnie Stanley Officially Inactive

Baltimore Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley (shoulder) is officially inactive for Week 4's game against Washington. Not great, as Washington's got a strong pass rush and Stanley's a key piece to this Ravens offensive line. Obviously, quarterback Lamar Jackson is still a must-start fantasy option, but the downgrade to D.J. Fluker at tackle could be enough […]

Michael Burton Active For Week 4

New Orleans Saints fullback Michael Burton is active for Sunday's game against the Lions. Burton tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, but an additional test showed that it was a false positive. Burton's not a fantasy relevant play, but his availability for this game shows that the league is willing to make a quick turnaround […]

Aldrick Rosas Will Kick For Jaguars In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Aldrick Rosas -- who was signed to the practice squad on September 28th -- will serve as the team's kicker in Week 4 against the Bengals. Rosas had a great 2018 season, converting 97 percent of his field goals, before falling off last year, going just 12-for-17. Against a bad Bengals team, […]

Devonta Freeman Will Start In Week 4

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman will make his first start for his new team on Sunday against the Rams. After receiving just five carries last week, it sounds like head coach Joe Judge and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett are happy with where Freeman is in terms of the playbook. While he's not the […]

DeAndre Hopkins Officially Playing Week 4

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is officially a go in Week 4, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. An elite possession receiver and target hog for quarterback Kyler Murray, fantasy managers should start Hopkins as a WR1 with full confidence this week against the Panthers Defense.

Patriots/Chiefs Scheduled For 7:05 ET Monday

The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs Week 4 game has been rescheduled for Monday night at 7:05 ET on CBS. With all the tests coming back negative, the game will take place in Week 4. The only real change here is that the Patriots will be without quarterback Cam Newton, who is expected […]

It's time for what might be the most chaotic race weekend of the NASCAR season, as all three series have playoff races at Talladega Superspeedway. Anything can happen here. Surprise winners. Huge wrecks that take out drivers who are on the bubble for the next playoff round. Things can get wild. This is also a […]

Randall Cobb Has Deep League PPR Appeal In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb is coming off his best game as a Texan, catching four passes for 95 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. Now, he gets a plus matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. The way that Houston spreads the football around gives Cobb a low ceiling, but his […]

Allen Lazard Out Indefinitely

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard underwent core muscle surgery and is out indefinitely, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. Lazard showed up on the injury report on Thursday with the core injury, but no one was expecting this news. Luckily for the Packers, Davante Adams (hamstring) should return this week, but Lazard's absence is a […]

Brandin Cooks Is In Good Position In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been targeted at least five times in each game in 2020. And while his performances have been uneven so far, Cooks is in a good spot in Week 4 against a susceptible Vikings Defense. Cooks's position could be improved even more if Will Fuller V (hamstring) is out, […]

David Johnson Has Good Week 4 Matchup

When the Houston Texans face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they'll face a team that's allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Considering their first three opponents allowed the 17th, 29th, and 31st-most points to the position, this is a huge plus for Texans running back David Johnson. While the return of Duke […]

Deshaun Watson Poised For Strong Week 4

It's fine to be disappointed with how Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has played in 2020, but a tough early schedule and the fact that Houston lacks a true No. 1 receiver meant there was always a chance Watson struggled. Watson is currently the QB17 in fantasy, but expect that number to shoot up after […]

Keelan Cole Has Deep PPR Appeal In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole has received solid usage all season and has found the end zone twice, but he's also failed to record a game with more than 58 receiving yards. His target share makes him a solid deep-league PPR option with upside each week, but with a Week 4 matchup against the […]
