Ronald Jones II Should See Bigger Workload

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II will take on a tough Chargers Defense in Week 4. Jones II should handle a bigger workload this week with Leonard Fournette (ankle) ruled out for the contest. The Chargers have bottled up most halfbacks on the ground this year, though they have been susceptible to receiving […]

Tom Brady More Of A QB2 Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady faces a tough matchup against the Chargers in Week 4. The Chargers rank 14th in the league in pass DVOA and have been pretty stingy against the pass, though their best games have come against Joe Burrow and Teddy Bridgewater. They'll also be without their best corner Chris Harris […]

Leonard Fournette Ruled Out For Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Fournette wasn't able to practice at all this week after sustaining an ankle injury in Week 3 against the Broncos, so it's not surprising that he's not suiting up. Tampa Bay will go with Ronald […]

Panthers Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 4

The Carolina Panthers Defense will face off against Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. Murray is coming off a three-interception game in Week 3, though he certainly has the talent to have a bounce-back performance. The Panthers defense has the fewest sacks recorded in the league but they have managed to pick […]

Joey Slye A Good Option In Week 4

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye gets a favorable matchup against the Cardinals in Week 4. Slye has made all nine field-goal attempts and 3 of 5 extra-points, as he's accumulated 30 total points on the season. The Cardinals rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to kickers, making Slye a good starting option for Week 4. […]

Ian Thomas Should Remain On Benches

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas faces the Arizona Cardinals In Week 4. Thomas has just three receptions on the season and has been a non-factor for three weeks in the Panthers offense. He does have some potential down the road, but there are just too many other options out there at the tight end […]

Curtis Samuel Hard To Trust

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel faces a difficult matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Samuel has been the third option this year behind D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson, as he's recorded 11 catches on 14 targets, producing 96 receiving yards. Despite offensive coordinator Joe Brady saying he wanted Samuel to have a bigger role, the […]

Robby Anderson A WR3 Against Cardinals

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson will square off with the Cardinals in Week 4. Anderson has gotten off to a great start, as he's caught 20 of 23 targets for 278 receiving yards and one score through three games. The 27-year-old connected on a 75-yard score in Week 1, so there's always the threat […]

D.J. Moore A Strong Play In Week 4

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore faces a tough matchup in Week 4 against Arizona. No team has allowed fewer fantasy points to the wide receiver position than the Cardinals, though fellow number-one wideouts Terry McLaurin and Kenny Golladay were able to post good numbers against this defense. Moore is of a similar talent level […]

Mike Davis A Borderline RB1 Against Arizona

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis will take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. Carolina had no qualms about Davis as their lead back, considering he handled 21 touches in his first game as the starter. While it's foolish to count on McCaffrey-like production from Davis, he can certainly deliver strong fantasy numbers with […]

Teddy Bridgewater A Sleeper In Week 4

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is a sleeper in Week 4 despite a tough matchup against the Cardinals. Arizona has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing signal-callers, though they've surrendered two passing touchdowns in two of three contests this season. Bridgewater quietly ranks in the top-10 in passing yards, completion percentage and yards per […]

Saints Defense Has Quiet Game In Week 3

The New Orleans Saints Defense did not look particularly good in a 37-30 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Not only did they allow 30-plus points for the second straight game but the pass rush only mustered one sack of opposing quarterback Aaron Rodgers. For much of the night, the Saints couldn't get near the […]

Wil Lutz Has Excellent Game Against Green Bay

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made all three field-goal attempts and all three extra-points in a Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Lutz was busy in a game that saw a combined 67 points put on the board. His night included a couple 30-yarders and a 45-yard kick late in the game […]

Jared Cook Posts Just 21 Receiving Yards, Injures Groin

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (groin) caught two of three targets for 21 receiving yards in a 37-30 loss to the Packers. Cook saw only three targets as he was blanketed by the Packers Defense and then left the game late in the third quarter with a groin injury. There's no word yet […]

Tre'Quan Smith Has Quiet Day Against Packers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith had a quiet day in a Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Smith saw the second-most targets on the team but could only muster four catches for 42 receiving yards. It was a disappointing performance considering the number of targets that were potentially available, though most […]

Emmanuel Sanders Has Best Game Of Season

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders caught four of five targets for 56 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Packers. Sanders enjoyed his best game of the season in Week 3, as he was Drew Brees' favorite pass-catcher besides Alvin Kamara. Brees found Sanders in the end zone for a touchdown right before […]

Latavius Murray Leads Team In Carries

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray carried the ball a team-high 12 times for 58 rushing yards and caught one pass for seven receiving yards in a 37-30 loss to the Packers. Murray was overshadowed by the Alvin Kamara show, but he actually ran the ball really well, with a touchdown being the only […]

Alvin Kamara Explodes For 197 Yards, Two Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was unstoppable in a Week 3 loss to Green Bay. Kamara picked up 58 rushing yards on six carries but was devastating as a receiver, catching 13 of 14 targets for 139 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old was so incredible as a pass-catcher that he would […]

Drew Brees Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 3

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 29 of 36 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-30 loss to the Packers. Brees may not have looked downfield as much as others would have liked, but he certainly did enough to get the job done. He had a nice touchdown throw to Emmanuel […]

Falcons Defense Intercepts Two Passes, Blows Lead

The Atlanta Falcons Defense recorded two interceptions and two sacks in a terrible, 30-26 loss to the Chicago Bears. Atlanta looked good against quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, though he was replaced by Nick Foles, who promptly led a comeback at the expense of the Falcons' defense. There won't be many weeks where you can start this […]

Younghoe Koo Makes Four Kicks

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made 2 of 3 field-goal attempts and 2 of 3 extra-points in a 30-26 loss to the Bears. Koo was active as his team jumped out to a 26-10 lead, giving him ample opportunities to use his leg. The 26-year-old has missed just one field-goal this year, from 40 yards […]

Olamide Zaccheaus Targeted Six Times In Loss

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus was targeted six times in a loss to the Bears. Zaccheaus saw a lot more volume in the absence of Julio Jones (hamstring) and caught four passes for 41 yards against Chicago. The 23-year-old didn't play in Week 1 and had just one catch in Week 2, though he […]

Hayden Hurst Catches Touchdown Pass

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst was targeted three times and hauled in a pass for a one-yard touchdown reception. Hurst was inexplicably not involved in a plus-matchup against an exploitable Bears Defense, though he did manage to haul in a touchdown. Had he not found the end zone, it might have been a goose […]

Russell Gage Posts 26 Receiving Yards, Leaves With Concussion

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (concussion) caught two of three targets for 26 receiving yards in a loss to the Bears in Week 3. Gage was off to a good start before leaving the game in the first half after taking a big hit to his upper body. It's unfortunate for fantasy managers because […]

Calvin Ridley Posts Third Straight 100-Yard Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley continued his breakout season into Week 3. Ridley was targeted a team-high 13 times and hauled in five of them for 110 yards. The former Alabama wideout started his day off quickly with a 63-yard reception in the first quarter that he nearly turned into a touchdown with a […]

Brian Hill Scores 35-Yard Touchdown Run

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill looked impressive despite his team's gut-wrenching, 30-26 loss in Week 3. Hill saw a season-high 10 touches and looked explosive, hauling in a 22-yard reception and ripping off a 35-yard touchdown run, en route to 80 scrimmage yards. Unfortunately, Hill is the backup unless Todd Gurley II gets hurt. […]

Todd Gurley II Picks Up 82 Scrimmage Yards, Scores Once

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II carried the ball 14 times for 80 rushing yards and a score while catching both targets for two receiving yards in a heartbreaking loss to the Bears. Gurley II ran well, picking up good chunks of yards, including a long of 16 yards. It's worth wondering whether Atlanta […]

Matt Ryan So-So In Loss To Bears

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 19 of 38 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Ryan's lone touchdown throw of the day was a one-yard toss to tight end Hayden Hurst in the first quarter. The veteran signal-caller looked good in the first half but essentially disappeared in the fourth quarter, […]

Cam Newton Contract Extension Unlikely Until After Season

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is unlikely to get a contract extension until after the 2020 season concludes, according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport. Newton was signed by New England late in the offseason to a one-year, $1.05 million contract in what was looked at as a cheap signing at the time. It's […]

Budda Baker To Play Through Thumb Injury

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker (thumb) will play through a significant thumb injury in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. Baker is dealing with a torn ulnar collateral ligament, the same injury that kept Drew Brees out for six weeks. It's a bit different for quarterbacks as opposed to defensive players, as the All-Pro safety […]
