Week 4 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a week for the kickers! We saw Justin Tucker make the longest kick in the history of the NFL and for a game-winner, no less. 66 yards off the crossbar, just insane. If that wasn't enough, Mason Crosby gave us another game-winner. This time from 51 yards out. Kickers, truly are the perfect example... Read More

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 4 - Daily Fantasy Football

While Derrick Henry and Aaron Jones were the dominant fantasy forces in Week 2, the quarterbacks returned to prominence in Week 3. After getting off to a slow start, Josh Allen showed up to play against the Washington Football Team to finish as the top-scoring DFS option. Justin Herbert, Matthew Stafford, and Tom Brady occupied the... Read More

Break The Slate: DraftKings NFL DFS Lineup Picks - Week 4

Hi there, RotoBallers, and welcome back to Break The Slate! Before we dive into the Week 4 DraftKings slate, I wanted to take a minute to touch on the passing of a true giant in the fantasy football community, Mike Tagliere.

Week 4 Red Zone Alert - Risers and Fallers

The truth is it is still early, as we are in Week 4 of a 17-week season.  But trends are starting to emerge, and players are starting to shine. Rather than individual positions, this time we will evaluate team offenses who have seen their fortunes rise or fall based on early results. As a reminder,... Read More

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

As good as football has been this young season, the game is also laughable. The league wants these referees to call these ticky-tacky penalties. On the winning touchdown drive for the Chargers, they had a 4th-and-9 from the Chiefs 35 when Justin Herbert's pass was incomplete. But of course, a pass interference was called. It... Read More

Bear Down: Justin Fields' Fantasy Influence

Some things are known. The Adam Gase curse is real. Some things will never be known. What came first, the chicken or the egg? And some things are uncertain. Is Matt Nagy a good coach and how does this affect what we can expect from Justin Fields for the rest of 2021? We are not... Read More

Noah Fant - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and K.J. Hamler (ACL) are both on the Injured Reserve list for Denver, and, suddenly, they find themselves with a little less depth in their receiving corps. While it is terrible news for the Broncos, it's going to be an excellent thing for Noah Fant's fantasy prospects as he continues to move up the pecking... Read More

Christian Kirk - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Courtesy of PFF's Dwain McFarland and his excellent Utilization Report, there's a WR2 emerging in Arizona, but it's not the player you may imagine. Everyone was scampering to the Waiver Wire in Week 3 for Rondale Moore, but, as the above table suggests, Christian Kirk is the receiver to roster in Arizona. There will be ups and... Read More

Nyheim Hines - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Hines is proving to hold his own in the Indianapolis backfield, and the pass-catching back role against the Dolphins is proving to be a valuable asset in fantasy. The Dolphins have allowed six running backs to catch two or more passes this year, and they've allowed 20 catches on 28 targets for 157 yards and... Read More

Matt Ryan - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The 36-year old isn't thriving under new Head Coach Arthur Smith, and Calvin Ridley managers are yelling at their televisions asking, "What is going on?!". Still, after a dismal Week 1 (7.36 points), Ryan has thrown two touchdowns in back-to-back games and averaged 19.46 fantasy points per game (FPPG) in Weeks 2 and 3. Unfortunately, it seems... Read More

Cooper Kupp - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

I've been on Kupp each week so far this season and had him as a core play the last two weeks. There's really no reason to stop here, in my opinion. He's commanding a 43% target share in the red zone and catching over eight passes per game on an average of 11 targets. This... Read More

D'Andre Swift - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Swift breakout is here and I'm a bit mad at myself for not being higher on him last week. He touched the ball 21 times against Baltimore and turned it into 107 yards and a score - which was very impressive for the tough matchup. Despite not being a traditional workhorse back, Swift is... Read More

Nick Chubb - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chubb has the matchup and opportunity I'm after and one of the best possible matchups on the slate. He's finally got a workhorse-type 24 carries last week but was held without a TD for the first time this year. He also wasn't targeted at all in the passing game, which was a little fluky since... Read More

Kirk Cousins - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cousins is absolutely balling out right now, completing 73.9% of his passes while averaging 306 yards per game and 7.7 yards per attempt. He's thrown eight touchdowns with zero interceptions. The most encouraging part about this start is the volume, as the Vikings have been run-heavy in the last two years, but Cousins is averaging... Read More

Derrick Henry - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Henry is currently averaging an absurd 34 touches per game, including a career-high 4.3 targets per game. The uptick in usage in the passing game is huge for Henry's fantasy value, particularly in full-PPR formats. Henry gets another projected positive game script with the Titans as 7.5-point road favorites against the hapless Jets. The Jets... Read More

Dak Prescott - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Prescott should be able to turn in a strong performance against a pass-funnel Panthers defense. The Panthers have limited opposing running backs to only 2.19 YPC (1st) and rank first in rush DVOA. The Cowboys have shown a willingness to adapt their offensive philosophy depending on their opponent. The last time they faced such a... Read More

D.J. Moore - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Moore has quickly established himself as the alpha in this offense, leading the team in air yard share (40.79%) and target share (30.69%). We could see him get even more targets with Christian McCaffrey sidelined. While the Cowboy's defense has been much improved and cornerback Trevon Diggs (87.1 PFF Coverage Grade) has been incredible this season, Moore is playing... Read More

Deebo Samuel - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Deebo Samuel missed both games against the Seahawks in 2020, but he torched them for 102 and 112 yards with zero scores in two games against them in 2019. Opposing quarterbacks have completed 70.7% of their passes against the Seahawks defense this year at a clip of 7.9 yards-per-attempt, which ranks them in the bottom... Read More

Odell Beckham Jr. - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Vikings have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers so far this season. Receivers on the perimeter have had success finding the endzone against the struggling Vikings secondary, especially receivers lining up against Patrick Peterson. Peterson simply isn't the same athlete he once was and receivers are just running by him. The... Read More
