Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys
Sunday September 28, 8:20 PM ET
Notable Injuries:
- CeeDee Lamb - Out (Ankle)
- Jayden Reed - Out (IR - Collarbone)
Matchups We Love
QB Jordan Love
It's probably a good idea to start QBs against Dallas this year. The Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing QBs through three weeks, and all three QBs they have faced so far have scored over 24 fantasy points. That makes Love a strong QB1 play this week. He is likely a top-7 play in Week 4.

Packers WRs
Both Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden are worth starting in 12-plus team leagues this week. The Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points to WRs and the most yards per completion this year. That means both Packer WRs will enter the week as solid WR3s. Even Dontayvion Wicks can be used in some leagues this weekend.
This Cowboys defense is really bad and has allowed three receivers to total over 100 yards over the past two weeks. With Golden coming off his best game as a pro and being the team's deep-threat option, he is my favorite start of the three Green Bay WRs. Dallas allows a ton of big plays through the air.
Jake Ferguson will enter Week 4 as the overall TE1 in PPR formats. That comes on the heels of his 13-catch, 82-yard performance against the Bears last week. With CeeDee Lamb (ankle) out for this contest, Ferguson will remain a strong TE1 against the Packers. Green Bay has allowed the third-most receiving yards to TEs this year.
Matchups We Hate
QB Dak Prescott
Dak Prescott has been an inconsistent fantasy option to begin the season. He only has one top-10 QB finish and only scored 14 fantasy points in a great matchup against the Bears last week. Unfortunately, things don't get easier for Prescott in Week 4. He'll have to go up against a Packers defense that has yet to allow a top-12 fantasy QB finish. So, the Cowboys signal-caller is more of a QB2 this weekend.

“Excited to go and have that matchup but he’s got 5 guys up front, plus tight ends, plus running backs that he’s got to get through. Then we’ll worry about if he can get to me.”

Javonte Williams has been a surprising fantasy RB in the early going. He is averaging a whopping 5.3 yards per carry and has caught at least five passes in back-to-back games. However, with the Cowboys being down two offensive linemen (Cooper Beebe and Tyler Booker) and the Packers allowing just 3.2 yards per carry on the ground, Williams is more of a risky RB2 this weekend.
Other Notable Matchups
RB Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs hasn't been the most consistent RB1 for your fantasy team this year. However, better days are surely ahead. He has played three top-10 run defenses in the first three weeks, and his schedule will lighten up moving forward. Although the Cowboys have yet to allow a rusher over 60 yards, Jacobs will be a solid RB1. He has seen at least 20 touches in every contest this year.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs, who was limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury, is off the injury report and good to go Sunday night vs: the Cowboys.

The Cowboys will need George Pickens to step up in Lamb's absence. He will now operate as the team's WR1 and should see more chances in the passing game. That's enough to start him as a WR2. Pickens has scored 17.8 PPR fantasy points in consecutive games. The matchup isn't the best on the outside against Carrington Valentine -- who ranks 13th in PFF grade among all corners -- but the potential volume makes him a start.
TE Tucker Kraft
Kraft managed to play through a knee injury last week and didn't contribute much for fantasy managers. He only caught three passes for 29 yards. Fantasy managers, though, should expect a better performance from him in Week 4. The Cowboys secondary has allowed the most yards per completion, and Kraft is one of the best TEs after the catch. So, he'll be a TE1.
Injuries:
- CeeDee Lamb (ankle) - out
- Jayden Reed (collarbone) - out
