James Conner Could Break Out In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner gets a prime matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. The Monday Night Football matchup at home pits Conner against a defense that has allowed 30.2 fantasy points per game to running backs, the second most in the league. Conner has had a real tough time through the […]

Mason Rudolph In Good Spot For Monday Night Football

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph gets a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. The Monday night game gives the second-year signal caller a chance to show the home crowd what he's made of. The Bengals have allowed an average of 22.3 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks thus far, so Rudolph is in […]

Titans Need To Protect Marcus Mariota Better In Week 4

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was sacked an outrageous nine times in the Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, totaling 17 sacks on the season. While part of this is due to the absence of star left tackle Taylor Lewan (suspension), the Titans must do a better job protecting their quarterback going forward. Luckily, […]

Justin Jackson Could Be Out A Few Weeks

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (calf) is dealing with a calf strain that could keep him out a few weeks. Jackson was shaping up as a nice RB3/flex option this week against the lowly Dolphins, but he injured himself in practice on Thursday and has already been ruled out for this Sunday. He's […]

Rams Defense A Prime Play

The Los Angeles Rams take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4, and the Rams Defense has a prime matchup. The Bucs have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing defenses in the league. The Bucs have allowed 10 sacks, thrown four picks, lost a fumble and allowed two defensive touchdowns. The touchdowns are […]

Aaron Donald Has Great Matchup

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald registered his first sack of the season last week, and he has a feast of a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. The Bucs have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to defensive linemen thus far, which includes 8.5 of the 10 sacks they've allowed. Donald […]

Matthew Stafford Expected To Play Against Chiefs

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (hip) is expected to play in Week 4 against the Chiefs despite being listed as questionable after popping up on the injury report on Friday. Sources are saying that they'd be shocked if Stafford didn't suit up. Typically a midrange QB for fantasy owners, Stafford has potential QB1 upside this […]

Tyler Higbee Not A Starting Option

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) is poised to return to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. The Bucs have allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends thus far. That is misleading, however, as they have faced San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen […]

Malcolm Brown Has A Shot At Redemption

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown has been invisible since his 11-53-2 breakout in Week 1. He has rushed nine times for 44 yards in two games since then. The Rams play a tough Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense this week that hasn't allowed a score to the position through the first three weeks. The […]

Damiere Byrd Ruled Out Against Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Seahawks. He's third on the team in receiving yards (96) and has 12 catches through three games this year. As a result, rookies Keesean Johnson and Andy Isabella will see more opportunities behind Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk. Even […]

Todd Gurley Has A Potential Pitfall Week

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is 25th in the league in fantasy points at the position. That wasn't a typo. He has performed like an RB3 in 12-team leagues. He has rushed 44 times for 203 yards and a touchdown while grabbing four receptions for eight yards. The team insists that he's not […]

Rashaad Penny Listed As Questionable For Week 4

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Cardinals. Penny has a chance to take more of the workload from Chris Carson due to his fumbling issues, but it's still hard to endorse the second-year back as an RB3/flex in shallow leagues while he's injured. Even if […]

Chandler Jones Devoid Of Shine This Week

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones doesn't have a lot of upside in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. Jones has been a top-10 linebacker despite only eight solo tackles on the season. He has three sacks, a pass defense and has forced three fumbles. The Seahawks have allowed opposing defenses the fourth-most fantasy points in […]

Terry McLaurin Expected To Play Sunday

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 4 against the Giants, according to sources. His injury is described as a minor pull, and the team held him out of practice this week as a precaution. McLaurin is listed as questionable for this weekend, and he's shaping up to […]

KeeSean Johnson Shouldn't See Your Lineup

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson has been targeted six times the last two weeks, which translated into four grabs for 44 yards. He opened with a promising 10-target performance in Week 1, but he has tanked since then. He's not an option to start against the Seattle Seahawks, and he's really only worth owning […]

Larry Fitzgerald A Stabilizer

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald remains productive at 36 years of age. He's 16th in the league in fantasy points at the position. However, last week, he needed a touchdown to salvage a five-catch, 36-yard day. He eclipsed 100 yards in each of the first two weeks, but that could have been an aberration […]

Christian Kirk Ascending

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has blossomed in the fantasy stratosphere the last couple of weeks. He has been targeted 12, eight and 12 times, respectively, the first three weeks of the season. Those looks have been converted to 20 catches for 205 yards, but he hasn't reached the end zone yet. Kirk is […]

Davante Adams' Injury Not Serious

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams' (toe) injury isn't believed to be serious after he underwent an MRI exam on Friday, according to sources. The Packers will be cautious with Adams, but if he misses any time, it won't be much. Adams was believed to be suffering from turf toe after the Thursday night […]

David Johnson Has So-So Matchup

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has a midrange matchup against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. Johnson, who is 10th in fantasy points per game at the position, faces a Seahawks team ranked 16th in the league at allowing points to the position. Johnson has been less than impressive, but his three touchdowns have salvaged […]

Kyler Murray Not A Starting Option

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray doesn't have the matchup to exploit in order to crack the starting lineup in fantasy against the Seattle Seahawks. Murray is 15th in the league in fantasy points entering Week 4, and the Seahawks are 16th in fantasy points allowed per game to the position. There just isn't enough substance […]

Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Questionable

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are both listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Bills. Both players are trending in the right direction for the tough matchup with Buffalo's defense. Even on the road against the Bills, Edelman is a low-end WR2, at worst, if […]

Matthew Stafford Questionable For Week 4

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (hip) was limited in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Chiefs. Ultimately we'd expect Stafford to play this weekend, but if he doesn't, it would be either rookie David Blough or Jeff Driskel starting under center. That would be a nightmare for anyone […]

T.Y. Hilton Doubtful To Face Raiders

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) missed practice all week and is now listed as doubtful for Week 4 against the Raiders. Even if Hilton does manage to suit up, he's going to be super risky for fantasy owners and could be a decoy. Receivers Parris Campbell and Deon Cain […]

Vance McDonald Misses Practice Again

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday. McDonald is looking doubtful to play on Monday night against the Bengals. The good news is Pittsburgh doesn't think his injury is very serious. With the game being on Monday, we'd suggest going in another direction at the tight […]

Tre'Quan Smith Ruled Out Against Cowboys

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Cowboys. Smith also missed last week's game. With quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) out and Teddy Bridgewater now running the show, no receiver other than Michael Thomas should be trusted for fantasy lineups. Behind […]

Vernon Davis A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis will continue to see regular playing time as long as Jordan Reed is out, but he hasn't been very involved in the offense to this point. Davis is averaging just five targets and three receptions per game, with over 40% of his 118 total yards having come on one […]

Devin Singletary Questionable, Tyler Kroft Out

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Friday and is questionable for Week 4 against the Patriots. Tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) missed practice all week and has been ruled out. Even if Singletary returns after missing Week 3, he'll likely be eased in […]

Case Keenum Will Play In Week 4

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) practiced in full for the second straight day on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 4 against the Giants. You can make a case that Keenum is an attractive QB2 this weekend against the terrible Giants Defense, even though Keenum turned the ball over […]

Albert Wilson Questionable, Allen Hurns Out

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Chargers, while receiver Allen Hurns (concussion) has been ruled out. Wilson was limited in practice all week and has a good shot to return since going down with an injury in the season opener. If he's active, he'll […]

Chris Thompson The Only Effective RB In Washington

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson ranks second on the team in targets and receiving yards, and is tied with Terry McLaurin for the team lead in catches. A nonexistent ground attack has forced Washington to turn to Thompson in the passing game more often, and the result has been a fantasy-friendly workload. His opponent […]
