Ronald Jones II Can't Be Trusted In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II will be hard to trust for fantasy purposes in Week 4 against the Patriots. Jones' stock was seemingly on the rise after he played a season-high 41 percent of the snaps and saw seven touches against Atlanta, though those numbers declined to 16 percent and five touches […]

Ryan Weathers Has Much To Improve Next Season

San Diego Padres pitcher Ryan Weathers coughed up five earned runs over three innings Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Making his first start since August, the swingman permitted five hits and three walks while fanning two. After a strong start to his rookie campaign, the league caught up to Weathers' subpar stuff as he […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread 9/30 And Week 4 Results

Week 4 is over, and the DVR is (mostly) cleared off. It's time to tally up the week 4 betting scores and see what we came away with. We'll get to that. First, we have four college football games before Saturday for a nice little pregame. All of those are FBS vs. FBS schools, so […]

Rams Defense Has A Difficult Matchup In Week 4

This Los Angeles Rams defense is one of the best units in the NFL, but they are up against a tough challenge in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are the top-scoring offense through three weeks with an average of 34.3 points per game, and the Rams have been giving up a fair […]

Leonard Fournette In The Flex Conversation In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette draws a favorable matchup in Week 4 against the Patriots. Aside from the Week 3 anomaly, Fournette has been the team's lead back, playing an average of 50 percent of the snaps while exceeding 14 touches in two of three games. The former fourth overall pick will face […]

D'Andre Swift's Role Could Grow Even More

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift leads all running backs in receiving yardage (166) through three weeks of the season, and his usage arrow could be going up even more. "I certainly think you're going to see a lot more Swift," head coach Dan Campbell said. Swift leads the team in rushes (33), rushing yards […]

Will Fuller Back At Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (chest, elbow) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he will be available for the Week 4 meeting with the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old played 51 of a possible 83 offensive snaps in his season debut against the Las Vegas […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Out Again Thursday

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both remained out of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Both receivers were injured in the Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and look questionable for Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints. Shepard has been New York's most trustworthy […]

Tom Brady A Strong QB1 For Must-See Matchup Against Patriots

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will take on his former team, the Patriots, in Week 4. Brady, who is playing excellent football, will be motivated to take on the only team he knew for the first 20 years of his career. The star signal-caller ranks first in touchdowns, 10, and second in passing yards, […]

Rob Gronkowski, Giovani Bernard Remain Sidelined

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) and running back Giovani Bernard (knee) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. X-rays on Gronkowski's ribs came back negative, but two missed practices have his status up in the air for Sunday night in his return to New England to face the […]

Antonio Gibson Not Practicing Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (undisclosed) is not practicing on Thursday after suiting up on Wednesday. It could just be a rest day for the team's lead running back, but we'll know more later. Gibson has been on the injury early this year with a shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 1, […]

DeAndre Hopkins Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (rib) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Hopkins missed practice time last week, too, but he still played 91 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, he ended up catching only three of his six targets […]

Keston Hiura Recalled Thursday

The Milwaukee Brewers have recalled infielder Keston Hiura from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, and he is in the starting lineup for the game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Hiura has been a big disappointment thus far, slashing .166/.257/.302 with four home runs and a 39.4 K% over 59 games. Hiura has been up and down all […]

Lamar Jackson Dealing With A Back Flare-Up

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) is dealing with a back flare-up but that he should be fine for Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. The team is in "wait-and-see" mode as far as practice goes on Thursday. It sounds like Jackson will play this Sunday, but fantasy managers […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Has Limited Upside In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is a low upside WR5 in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Shenault has disappointed thus far while running extremely shallow routes (5.0 aDOT in 2021) and failing to clear 50 yards or find the end zone at any point in the first three weeks. The Bengals have […]

D.J. Chark Jr. A Boom/Bust WR4 Against Cincinnati

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. projects as a high-upside, low-floor WR4 play on Thursday night against the Bengals. Chark has found the end zone twice in three games in 2021, but he's also recorded three receptions or less in every game while clearing six targets only once. His matchup bodes well this week, […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Not In Thursday's Lineup

Texas Rangers shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa is absent from Thursday's lineup for the matchup against the Los Angeles Angels, according to MLB.com. Kiner-Falefa has hit .272 this season with 20 SBs but has just seven home runs and a .356 slugging. Yonny Hernandez will shift over to short, and Brock Holt will start at the hot […]

Harrison Bader Absent From Thursday's Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to MLB.com. Bader is a good bench option in most leagues, as he's put together a productive year at the plate thus far. In 99 games, he's slashed .267/.324/.458 with 15 HRs and eight stolen […]

Paul Goldschmidt Getting A Breather Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers. Goldschmidt is having another great year at the plate, as he's slashed .295/.367/.517 with 31 home runs, 98 RBI, 101 runs and 12 stolen bases over 155 games. Infielder Matt Carpenter is getting the start […]

Marvin Jones Jr. A WR3 With A Plus Matchup In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars leading wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is an ideal WR3 play on Thursday night against the Bengals. Jones has easily been the team's steadiest receiving option all year long, and he's yet to have a game with fewer than eight targets or five receptions in 2021. It also helps that the Bengals are […]

Lorenzo Cain On The Bench Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to MLB.com. Cain has put up average numbers across the board, slashing .261/.335/.406 with eight home runs in 75 games. He can still run, though, stealing 13 bags this season. Jackie Bradley Jr. will play center […]

James Robinson A Solid RB2 Against Cincinnati

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson should be in starting lineups on Thursday night against the Bengals as a steady RB2. After a slow start to the season, Robinson was much more involved last week, garnering 21 total touches and turning them into 134 total yards. The Bengals have been a stout rushing defense, allowing […]

Christian Yelich Getting A Breather Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will take a seat Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals. It's been another down year for the one-time MVP, as he's slashed .247/.360/.374 with eight stolen bases and just nine home runs in 115 games. His numbers are even worse off of left-handers, posting a .628 OPS, so with J.A. […]

Tony Kemp Homers In Loss At Seattle On Wednesday 

Oakland Athletics second baseman Tony Kemp went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday. The homer was Kemp's seventh of the season, but the light-hitting infielder is still slashing under .400 as he's not known as a power threat. He does have seven steals and a 1:1 strikeout-to-walk […]

Avisail Garcia Remains Out Of Lineup Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to MLB.com. It appears as just extra rest before the Brewers make a postseason run. He's been a consistent slugger in the middle of the lineup this season, smashing 29 HRs with 85 RBI, 68 runs, […]

Trevor Lawrence A Risky Streamer Against Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a speculative streaming play on Thursday night against the Bengals in Week 4. Lawrence has struggled to date, averaging just 11.1 fantasy points per game to go along with a 5:7 TD/INT. The Bengals have also allowed the ninth-fewest amount of fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks through three weeks, […]
