Saquon Barkley A Borderline RB1 In Week 4

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley found the end zone for the first time since December 29, 2019, in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The Giants continue to unleash Barkley, who has seen his snap count rise from 29 in Week 1 to 60 in Week 3. He is coming off his best […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Improving, Gets In Limited Practice

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) got in a limited practice on Wednesday and that "the expectation and anticipation is that he'll play, but not 100 percent sure." It's progress, but Henderson will need to do more in practice this week to convince the Rams and […]

Jordan Akins A Low-End TE2 In Week 4

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins will look to build on his best effort of the season in Week 4 against Buffalo. Akins matched his season-high, playing 62 percent of the snaps while hauling in four of five targets for 32 yards against the Panthers. The 29-year-old seems to have taken the lead over Pharaoh […]

Diontae Johnson Back On The Practice Field

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (knee) put in a limited practice on Wednesday after suffering a knee injury in Week 2 that caused him to miss the Week 3 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It's a good sign for Johnson's availability in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers after he missed all three […]

Robby Anderson A Flex Against Cowboys

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is only a flex option against Dallas in Week 4. Anderson started off the season well by putting up 57 yards and a score in Week 1 but his numbers have dipped each week since and he only managed one reception for eight yards on two targets in Week […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Misses Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday, but head coach Mike Tomlin said, "I anticipate JuJu Smith-Schuster practicing at some point this week." The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative. Barring some sort of practice setback this week, it looks like Smith-Schuster should be able to play […]

Chris Conley Best Avoided Against Buffalo

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley will look to do more with his increased playing time in Week 4 against the Bills. Conley has taken advantage of the opportunity with Nico Collins (shoulder) and Danny Amendola (thigh) sidelined, as he has played at least 89 percent of the snaps in each of the last two […]

D.J. Moore A Solid WR1 Against Dallas

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a solid WR1 against the Cowboys. Moore has been on fire to start the season, he has seen at least eight targets in all three games and has posted at least 79 yards in all three games as well, including a 126-yard effort in Week 3. Moore is […]

Elijah Mitchell Returns To A Limited Practice

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday after he was inactive in the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. It's a good start to the week, but Mitchell is still no guarantee to return to the field this coming Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. […]

Chuba Hubbard An RB2 In First NFL Start

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is an RB2 in Week 4 in his first NFL start. Hubbard will take over the backfield after starter Christian McCaffrey went down in Week 3 with a hamstring injury. The rookie will see some great opportunities to prove himself as an NFL starter as McCaffrey is expected to […]

Sam Darnold A High-End QB2 Against Cowboys

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is a solid starting option against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Darnold has been terrific to start 2021, posting at least 300 yards in two of three games while having six total touchdowns to one pick. The QB is showing more explosiveness and reliability than he ever did with […]

Anthony Miller A Sleeper In Week 4

Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller will look to keep things going in Week 4 against Buffalo after a solid debut a week ago. Miller played 64 percent of the snaps while hauling in four receptions and a touchdown in his Week 3 debut. With Danny Amendola (thigh) still banged up, Miller is in line […]

No Practice For George Kittle On Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. Kittle dealt with calf soreness in the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers, but the Niners expect Kittle to be fine for a Week 4 showdown against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks after a little rest in the middle of the […]

Brandin Cooks A Trustworthy Option Against Bills

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks will look to deliver another strong performance in Week 4 against Buffalo. Cooks has accumulated 32 targets through three weeks, which ranks third in the NFL. The speedy wideout is by far rookie quarterback Davis Mills' favorite receiver, as the signal-caller locked onto Cooks 11 times in Week 3, […]

Tyler Conklin Misses Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (glute, elbow) missed practice to begin the week on Wednesday. It's bad timing after Conklin after he blew up for seven catches on eight targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Unless he can return to practice in the next […]

Dalvin Cook Back At Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after being inactive in the Week 3 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Unless Cook suffers a setback later in the week, he'll have a really good chance at suiting up in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. It's not what Alexander […]

Phillip Lindsay Shouldn't Be Started In Week 4

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay draws a difficult matchup in Week 4 against the Bills. Lindsay has carried the ball 12 times for seven rushing yards over the last two weeks, scoring a touchdown back in Week 2 to salvage his day. The veteran running back can't be trusted in any fantasy format right […]

N'Keal Harry Resumes Practicing

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) resumed practicing for the first time on Wednesday since landing on Injured Reserve, and the team now has 21 days to activate him to the active roster. Harry was injured in the second week of the preseason, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues shouldn't be expecting him […]

Mark Ingram II Not A Recommended Play Against Bills

Houston Texans running back Mark Ingram II is trending in the wrong direction ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Bills. Ingram has seen his touch total decrease from a whopping 26 in Week 1 to six in Week 3, while the snap counts between the Texans' three running backs have evened out. The […]

Gerald Everett Placed On COVID-19 List

The Seattle Seahawks placed tight end Gerald Everett on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and promoted defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche to the 53-man active roster in a corresponding move. Everett tested positive for the virus, so he may be more of a long shot to get clearance to play in Week 4 against the San […]

Josh Gordon Unlikely To Play This Week

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Josh Gordon is unlikely to be active in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles after just being reinstated by the league and signing with the Chiefs earlier this week. "It's gonna take a while. It's probably not gonna be this week," head coach Andy Reid said. Gordon has been a […]

David Johnson Impossible To Trust In Week 4

Houston Texans running back David Johnson faces a tough matchup in Week 4 against the Bills. Johnson has led the Texans backfield in snaps over the last two weeks but has placed third in touches. The veteran back has been on the field more often in game scripts where the Texans are trailing, a situation […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Don't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both missed practice on Wednesday. Shepard and Slayton were both injured in the first half of the Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and did not return to the game. Shepard had 16 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown in the […]

Rob Gronkowski, Giovani Bernard Miss Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) and running back Giovani Bernard (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Bruce Arians. X-rays on Gronk came back negative, so he's expected to face his former team, the New England Patriots, on Sunday night in Week 4. As long as he gets in […]

Antonio Brown Will Return Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Antonio Brown will come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. "He'll be back tomorrow no matter what. His 10 days are up so he'll be back tomorrow," Arians said. Brown missed the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams after he landed on […]

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones Both Miss Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receivers A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) both missed practice on Wednesday. Brown is week-to-week and Jones is suddenly up in the air for Week 4 against the New York Jets after he played just six snaps in the second half of the Week 3 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Nick […]

Davis Mills Faces Difficult Matchup Against Bills

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills draws a difficult matchup in Week 4 against Buffalo. Mills was solid in his first career start last week against a stout Panthers defense, throwing for 168 yards and a touchdown while completing 67.9 percent of his passes. The rookie signal-caller gets an equally tough draw in Week 4 against […]

Danny Amendola Unable To Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) was unable to practice Wednesday. Amendola is dealing with a hamstring injury- an ailment he suffered during his team's Week 2 loss to the Browns- which sidelined him for Week 3. The veteran wideout will need to ramp up his practice activity if he wants to suit up […]

Saints Defense A Starting Option Against Giants

The New Orleans Saints defense could be in line for another productive game against the Giants in Week 4. New Orleans is coming off of a two-sack, three-interception performance against Mac Jones and the Patriots, scoring one touchdown in the process. The Saints defense- which has racked up the eighth-most quarterback pressures this season, will […]

Aldrick Rosas Could Have Solid Day Against Giants

New Orleans Saints kicker Aldrick Rosas will take on his former team, the Giants, in Week 4. Rosas is 1-for-3 on field goals and a perfect 10-for-10 on extra points through three weeks, though he is coming off a game where he missed both field goals he attempted. The veteran placekicker will look to bounce […]
