FanPicks Quarterbacks - Week 4 DFS Picks
Ryan Fitzpatrick - at CHI ($6,500)
Simply put, Fitzpatrick is too cheap compared to the other quarterbacks. He has thrown for 1,230 yards and 11 touchdowns through three games. He has also thrown for over 400 yards in each of those three games. Fitzpatrick has also scored 30+ fantasy points in every game this season. He gets a tough matchup against the Chicago Bears, but Fitzpatrick can be used in all leagues for this price.
FanPicks Running Backs - Week 4 DFS Picks
Giovani Bernard - at ATL ($5,100)
Bernard is expected to draw another start for Joe Mixon. If he does, he's in an elite position. Bernard has been a great pass-catching back in the NFL, and Atlanta has allowed over 30 receptions to opposing running backs this season. Bernard scored 19.6 fantasy points in a spot start last week, and he should see a similar workload this week. He's an elite option in this matchup for his current price tag.
Sony Michel - vs MIA ($4,100)
Rex Burkhead was recently moved to the injured reserve, opening snaps at running back for the Patriots. Michel has seen 11 and 15 touches in his last two games, although he has somewhat struggled to produce. Still, he's expected to work as the goal line back, meaning he has double-digit touchdown potential. The Patriots are also expected to be leading throughout this game, meaning they could spend the majority of the second half running the clock out.
FanPicks Wide Receivers - Week 4 DFS Picks
Allen Robinson - vs TB ($3,900)
There are a plethora of mispriced receiving options this week. Robinson is one of the most obvious, though. He hasn't produced well this season, but he does have a 10 catch performance against the Seattle Seahawks. He gets a great matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs, who have continuously found themselves in shootouts this season. He's not my favorite receiver on this slate, but there's very little reason to avoid him at this price.
Marquise Goodwin - at LAC ($3,100)
In his only healthy game, Goodwin posted a 3/30/1 line on four targets. He has a lot working against him this week, as he'll be playing with his backup quarterback against one of the best secondaries in the NFL. With that being said, Goodwin should never be near the minimum price. Similarly to Robinson, he sticks out because of his ridiculous price tag.
FanPicks Tight End - Week 4 DFS Pick
Eric Ebron - vs HOU ($4,000)
Tight end has been an awful position this season, so I'm taking a player that I know will be featured in his offense. Jack Doyle is expected to miss this game, meaning Ebron will slide into the top tight end role. Last week, he only posted five receptions for 33 yards, but he saw 11 targets. He should see a similar target share this week, and Ebron can be used in all leagues once Doyle is officially ruled out.
FanPicks Defense - Week 4 DFS Pick
Green Bay Packers - vs BUF ($2,900)
I don't particularly trust the Green Bay defense, but I love attacking the Buffalo offense. They dominated the Minnesota Vikings last week, but I still don't trust that they are a good offense. Josh Allen is a hit or miss rookie, and he's going to make a plethora of mistakes this season. The Packers are -9.5 point favorites in a game set at 45 points, and Buffalo owns the second lowest implied total on the slate at only 17.8 points.
