Josh Jacobs Back At Practice Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) was back at practice on Thursday after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. Jacobs looked to be going at full speed on Thursday during drills, so he's on track to return for a Monday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. […]

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Miss Another Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Both players need to get on the practice field on Friday to have a chance at playing in Week 4 against the New York Jets. If you were planning on starting either wideout, you should […]

Jacob Hollister A Poor Week 4 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Jacob Hollister is not a worthy Week 4 play against the Bengals on Thursday night. Hollister took over starting duties last week after James O'Shaughnessy went on IR, but he performed terribly. Notably, Hollister dropped two balls, with one bouncing right off of him into the defender's hands for an interception. […]

Buccaneers Defense A Strong Start In Week 4

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense draws a favorable matchup against Mac Jones and the Patriots in Week 4. Tampa Bay took advantage of an exploitable Week 2 matchup against the Falcons, scoring two defensive touchdowns while racking up three interceptions. Facing the rookie Jones, who is coming off of a three-interception game of his own, […]

Carlos Hyde Off The Week 4 Radar

Jacksonville Jaguars veteran running back Carlos Hyde shouldn't be a fantasy consideration against the Bengals in Week 4. Hyde has settled into an early-down, change-of-pace role almost exclusively, and he has little upside. Last week the veteran turned eight carries into 44 yards and had zero targets against Arizona, but his matchup this week is […]

Ryan Succop Should Have Solid Floor

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop should have a decent floor in a Week 4 contest against the Patriots. Succop has made at least three extra points in every game this season while making two of three field goals so far. The veteran kicker has benefited from kicking in one of the league's best offenses […]

Rob Gronkowski A Solid TE1 If He Suits Up

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) has an uncertain status for a Week 4 tilt against his former team, the Patriots. Gronkowski has been unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday, but even a limited session would put him on track to play in Sunday night's game. If the big tight end suits up, […]

Antonio Brown An Upside Flex Against Patriots

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown was activated off the COVID-19 list and will suit up for a Week 4 matchup with the Patriots. Fantasy managers have seen both sides from Brown in two games this year, as he boomed for 121 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, then busted for three catches […]

Chris Godwin A High-Floor Option In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been a steady pass-catcher for Tom Brady heading into a Week 4 matchup with New England. Godwin ranks first on the team in catches, 19, tied for first in targets, 25, and ranks second with 205 receiving yards. The star wideout has been a steady producer, exceeding […]

Mike Evans In The WR2 Conversation Against New England

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans gets a bit of a tough matchup against the Patriots in Week 4. Evans has bounced back since his poor Week 1 effort, as he has totaled 13 receptions on 19 targets for 181 yards and two scores over the last two weeks. New England's defense has allowed […]

Seahawks Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 4

The Seattle Seahawks defense is consistently in the fade category until further notice, especially in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. They struggle to generate a consistent pass rush, and they don't create turnovers at an above-average rate. The 49ers also can exploit them with their ability to run the football. The Seahawks have […]

Ronald Jones II Can't Be Trusted In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II will be hard to trust for fantasy purposes in Week 4 against the Patriots. Jones' stock was seemingly on the rise after he played a season-high 41 percent of the snaps and saw seven touches against Atlanta, though those numbers declined to 16 percent and five touches […]

Rams Defense Has A Difficult Matchup In Week 4

This Los Angeles Rams defense is one of the best units in the NFL, but they are up against a tough challenge in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are the top-scoring offense through three weeks with an average of 34.3 points per game, and the Rams have been giving up a fair […]

Leonard Fournette In The Flex Conversation In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette draws a favorable matchup in Week 4 against the Patriots. Aside from the Week 3 anomaly, Fournette has been the team's lead back, playing an average of 50 percent of the snaps while exceeding 14 touches in two of three games. The former fourth overall pick will face […]

D'Andre Swift's Role Could Grow Even More

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift leads all running backs in receiving yardage (166) through three weeks of the season, and his usage arrow could be going up even more. "I certainly think you're going to see a lot more Swift," head coach Dan Campbell said. Swift leads the team in rushes (33), rushing yards […]

Will Fuller Back At Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (chest, elbow) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he will be available for the Week 4 meeting with the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old played 51 of a possible 83 offensive snaps in his season debut against the Las Vegas […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Out Again Thursday

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both remained out of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Both receivers were injured in the Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and look questionable for Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints. Shepard has been New York's most trustworthy […]

Tom Brady A Strong QB1 For Must-See Matchup Against Patriots

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will take on his former team, the Patriots, in Week 4. Brady, who is playing excellent football, will be motivated to take on the only team he knew for the first 20 years of his career. The star signal-caller ranks first in touchdowns, 10, and second in passing yards, […]

Rob Gronkowski, Giovani Bernard Remain Sidelined

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) and running back Giovani Bernard (knee) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. X-rays on Gronkowski's ribs came back negative, but two missed practices have his status up in the air for Sunday night in his return to New England to face the […]

Antonio Gibson Not Practicing Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (undisclosed) is not practicing on Thursday after suiting up on Wednesday. It could just be a rest day for the team's lead running back, but we'll know more later. Gibson has been on the injury early this year with a shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 1, […]

DeAndre Hopkins Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (rib) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Hopkins missed practice time last week, too, but he still played 91 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, he ended up catching only three of his six targets […]

Lamar Jackson Dealing With A Back Flare-Up

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) is dealing with a back flare-up but that he should be fine for Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. The team is in "wait-and-see" mode as far as practice goes on Thursday. It sounds like Jackson will play this Sunday, but fantasy managers […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Has Limited Upside In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is a low upside WR5 in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Shenault has disappointed thus far while running extremely shallow routes (5.0 aDOT in 2021) and failing to clear 50 yards or find the end zone at any point in the first three weeks. The Bengals have […]

D.J. Chark Jr. A Boom/Bust WR4 Against Cincinnati

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. projects as a high-upside, low-floor WR4 play on Thursday night against the Bengals. Chark has found the end zone twice in three games in 2021, but he's also recorded three receptions or less in every game while clearing six targets only once. His matchup bodes well this week, […]

Marvin Jones Jr. A WR3 With A Plus Matchup In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars leading wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is an ideal WR3 play on Thursday night against the Bengals. Jones has easily been the team's steadiest receiving option all year long, and he's yet to have a game with fewer than eight targets or five receptions in 2021. It also helps that the Bengals are […]

James Robinson A Solid RB2 Against Cincinnati

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson should be in starting lineups on Thursday night against the Bengals as a steady RB2. After a slow start to the season, Robinson was much more involved last week, garnering 21 total touches and turning them into 134 total yards. The Bengals have been a stout rushing defense, allowing […]

Trevor Lawrence A Risky Streamer Against Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a speculative streaming play on Thursday night against the Bengals in Week 4. Lawrence has struggled to date, averaging just 11.1 fantasy points per game to go along with a 5:7 TD/INT. The Bengals have also allowed the ninth-fewest amount of fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks through three weeks, […]

Antonio Brown Activated Off COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown was activated off the COVID-19 list Thursday. Brown will suit up for a Week 4 primetime game against the Patriots. The star receiver landed on the COVID-19 list on September 22 and missed the team's Week 3 loss to the Rams, though he'll be a welcome presence for […]

Jason Myers Could Go Quiet In Week 4

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was ultra-reliable a season ago, but heading into Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers, he's already missed two of his 13 kicking attempts after missing only four times on 77 attempts a season ago. The Seahawks offense bogged down in Week 3 after a hot start, and that led […]

Will Dissly Could Be Interesting In Week 4

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly has been one of the more interesting tight end options for fantasy over the last few years, and he might have some value in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. Entering this season, Dissly had played in 25 games and scored eight touchdowns on 55 receptions, but he […]
