Darren Waller A Must-Start In Week 4

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller is looking to make a big impact in Monday night's showdown against the host Los Angeles Chargers. The 27-year-old was limited to five receptions on seven targets for 54 yards in last week's overtime win over the Miami Dolphins but continues to produce each week and is ranked […]

Alex Verdugo Absent From Lineup On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Washington Nationals, according to MLB.com. Verdugo has been productive in 144 games, slashing .288/.351/.426 with 13 HRs, 88 runs, and six stolen bases. He's struggled mightily against left-handers this season, posting a .554 OPS, so he'll take a […]

Dylan Carlson Isn't Starting Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson will be on the bench for Friday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Cory Abbott. In 611 plate appearances for the Cardinals this season, Carlson is batting .263 with a .339 on-base percentage, 18 home runs, and two stolen bases. Harrison Bader is starting in center field […]

Can Derek Carr Keep Rolling In Week 4?

Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Derek Carr is looking to keep his success going in Week 4, but he will be doing so against a tough Los Angeles Chargers defense. The 30-year-old signal-caller threw for 386 yards on 26 of 43 passing with two touchdowns and one interception in last week's wild 31-28 overtime win […]

DJ LeMahieu Out With Injury

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (hip) is not in the starting lineup Friday after being removed from Thursday's game with hip soreness. It's unclear how serious the injury is, but for now, he should be considered day-to-day. After signing a big contract to stay in the Bronx, LeMahieu is having his worst year since […]

Michael Brantley Not Starting On Friday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley isn't in the starting lineup on Friday for a game against the Oakland Athletics and left-hander Sean Manaea. The veteran is hitting .312 with a .364 on-base percentage, eight home runs, and a stolen base in 500 plate appearances this season. Brantley has started the last two games at designated […]

Gary Sanchez Absent From Friday's Lineup

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not starting Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, according to MLB.com. After a miserable 2020 campaign, Sanchez has rebounded a bit but isn't the hitter he once was, slashing .207/.310/.431 with 23 HRs, 54 RBI, and 54 runs. It's the second time in three games he's started […]

Jeimer Candelario On The Bench Friday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario isn't in the lineup on Friday for a matchup with the Chicago White Sox and right-handed starter Lance Lynn. The 27-year-old is hitting .271 with a .352 on-base percentage and 16 home runs in 622 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Harold Castro getting the start at third […]

Mike Zunino Getting The Day Off Friday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees, according to MLB.com. Zunino has found his power again, smashing 32 HRs while slashing .213/.301/.556 with 61 RBI and 62 runs across 106 games. With Zunino on the bench, Francisco Mejia will catch and bat […]

Brandon Lowe Sitting Friday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman/outfielder Brandon Lowe is starting Friday's game against the New York Yankees on the bench, according to MLB.com. Lowe has shown his offensive prowess once again this season, slashing .243/.338/.508 with 36 HRs, 92 RBI, 94 runs, and seven stolen bases. Joey Wendle will shift to second, and Yandy Diaz will […]

Younghoe Koo A Low-End Streaming Option

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a low-end starting option this week against Washington. Koo has been effective this season, knocking through all four of his field goal and extra-point attempts but the problem has been the general lack of opportunities on this offense. The kicker usually sees only one field goal attempt per week […]

Falcons Defense Should Remain On Benches

The Atlanta Falcons defense should remain benched this week against Washington. Though rather inexperienced QB Taylor Heinicke will be coming to town this week, this defense has done nothing to inspire fantasy managers as the team allowed 32 and 48 points in the first two weeks. Though the unit clamped down on the Giants last […]

Kyle Pitts A TE1 In Week 4

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is a TE1 option this week. The TE had a modest showing last week with two receptions for 35 yards on three targets but has done well this season overall. In the first two weeks, the rookie saw at least six targets each week. Pitts may not post flashy […]

Olamide Zaccheaus A Deep-League Flex Option

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is only a deep-league flex play, at best, in Week 4 against the Washington Football Team. The 24-year-old has posted 32 and 22 yards in two games thus far this season and his role hasn't escalated in any way despite the lack of solid pass-catchers on Atlanta. Nevertheless, No. […]

Krzysztof Jotko Prepares To Rebound From Loss In May

The Polish sensation Krzysztof Jotko (22-5) was on a three-fight winning streak before losing his last outing by unanimous decision in May. A decision-style winner who controls the pace and pushes his opponent to the limit, 15 of Jotko's 22 career wins have come by decision. DraftKings sees Jotko being able to implement that same […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 Against Washington

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a WR1 against the Washington Football Team in Week 4. Ridley hasn't posted mind-boggling numbers this season (no more than 63 yards in a contest) but what's impressive has been his target share. He has seen at least 10 targets in two of three games and that should […]

Cordarrelle Patterson A Solid Flex Option In Week 4

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson is a flex option in Week 4. Patterson's role has been that of a dual-player as he has thrived in the rushing and receiving game this season. Last week, he notably posted six receptions for 82 yards on seven targets while also adding seven carries for 20 yards. With […]

Mike Davis An RB3 In Week 4

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis is an RB3 option in Week 4 against Washington. The back hasn't been as impressive this season as the RB1, posting no more than 50 rushing yards or 25 receiving yards in any contest. However, he has seen at least 12 carries in two of three games which indicates […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB2 Against Washington

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is only a low-end QB2 against Washington this week. The QB hasn't been as explosive this year as in years past and has only posted 300 yards in one of three games. He also has four touchdowns to three picks on the season. With a general lack of weapons aside […]

Brandon McManus Looks To Stay Perfect In Week 4

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus is tied for the most fantasy points among kickers through the first three weeks of the 2021 season, making him a weekly starting option at the position. Denver's offense will be tested like they haven't been so far this year in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens defense. McManus is […]

Noah Fant Should Bounce Back Against Ravens

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant and the team's pass-catchers had a pretty quiet day overall in the 26-0 Week 3 win over the New York Jets. Fant caught just two of three targets for a season-low 15 yards with Denver not really needing to air it out in the easy win. Expect the Broncos […]

Rob Gronkowski Listed As Doubtful For Week 4

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially listed tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) as doubtful for Week 4 on Sunday night against his former team, the New England Patriots. Reports surfaced Friday morning that it would be highly unlikely that Gronk wouldn't suit up in a showdown against his former squad. That tune has suddenly changed, and […]

Tim Patrick Playing At A High Level

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick has been a popular waiver-wire pickup early in the 2021 campaign after injuries to Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee). With Hamler now out for the season and Jeudy still sidelined, Patrick will be the No. 2 receiver in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens. According to Football […]

Courtland Sutton Should Be Needed More In Week 4

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a 20.8 percent target share in the Week 3 shutout win over the New York Jets, but that produced only five catches for 37 yards. It was a disappointment after Sutton went off in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Baltimore Ravens defense will give […]

Chase Claypool Does Not Practice Friday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for his Week 4 game against the Green Bay Packers. Claypool was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant and was unable to make it onto the field on Friday, shrouding […]

Dustin Hopkins A Streaming Option In Week 4

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins has some streaming appeal in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons. Hopkins didn't attempt a field goal last week but has made six out of seven attempts in the first two weeks of the season. The 31-year-old should get some field goal opportunities in this game, and against a […]

Washington Defense A Solid Starting Option

The Washington Football Team defense has gotten off to a rough start as the No. 32 scoring defense in fantasy through the first three weeks of the season. However, the matchup with the Atlanta Falcons means that fantasy managers can feel confident starting the Washington defensive unit solely based on the matchup. The Atlanta offense […]

Curtis Samuel Not A Trustworthy Option In Season Debut

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel will make his season debut against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4 after being sidelined for the first three games of the season with a groin injury. Samuel will have a significant role in the offense as the team's No. 2 wide receiver as the season progresses, but […]
