Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 4

Week 3 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. Patrick Mahomes continues to take the NFL by storm with 13 touchdown passes in the first three games of the season. That's more than the entire NFC East put together! Alvin […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 For First NFL Start

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will make his first NFL start in Week 4 against the Oakland Raiders. Mayfield made a great impression coming on in relief of Tyrod Taylor in Week 3, leading the Browns to their first win since the end of the 2016 season. Mayfield will look to stay hot against a […]

Matthew Stafford's Outlook Is Tricky In Week 4

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is on pace for over 700 passing attempts, a number he hasn't reached since 2012. After last week's victory against the Patriots, the Lions are out to make a statement that it wasn't a fluke. While Vegas believes this will be one of the lowest scoring games of the week, […]

Eight Ravens Miss Week 4's Opening Practice

The Baltimore Ravens had a season-high eight players miss the week's first practice for various reasons. Injuries kept cornerback Anthony Averett (hamstring), cornerback Brandon Carr (knee), defensive tackle Willie Henry (abdomen), backup quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness), left tackle Ronnie Stanley and outside linebacker Terrell Suggs (knee) from practicing. While the severity of the injuries are […]

Andrew Luck Has Chance to Prosper Against Houston

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been less than impressive over the last two weeks in fantasy football, throwing for under 180 yards in each contest and averaging a QB25 finish in fantasy rankings. Fortunately for fantasy owners, Luck has an opportunity to bounce back when he returns home to face a Houston Texans squad […]

Jermaine Gresham, Sam Bradford Limited

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles), quarterback Sam Bradford (pectoral) and wide receiver Chad Williams (illness) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Gresham made his season debut last weekend and had only one catch on two targets for nine yards. He should continue splitting repetitions with Ricky Seals-Jones, but Gresham isn't much of […]

Lamar Jackson, Terrell Suggs Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and linebacker Terrell Suggs (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Jackson should be fine to be active for Week 4 against the Steelers, but we'll have to monitor the practice status of Suggs the rest of the week. Quarterback Joe Flacco has been solid to start the year, […]

David DeCastro, Marcus Gilbert Practice In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard David DeCastro (hand) and offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) both practiced in full on Wednesday after missing Week 3. It's looking like both players have a good chance to return in Week 4 against the Ravens. That would be music to the ears of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the ground game […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Takes Most Of Starter's Reps Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick took the majority of first-team snaps in practice on Wednesday after Jameis Winston has returned from his three-game suspension, according to a source. All signs point to the Bucs sticking with FitzMagic under center for Week 4 against the Bears after he has eclipsed 400 yards passing each of […]

Tom Brady 24th In Yards Per Attempt Heading Into Week 4

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have his hands full Sunday against an undefeated Dolphins team with a defense that has allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. The Patriots offense is searching for answers right now and is struggling to move the football. Brady currently ranks 24th among quarterbacks in yards […]

Andrew Luck On Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (groin) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday. This is a new injury for Luck, but it doesn't appear serious enough to put him in question in Week 4 against the Texans. However, both of his tight ends are injured and he has a suspect and injured offensive […]

Ryan Tannehill On Week 4 Injury Report

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) practiced in full on Wednesday. Tannehill's injury shouldn't prevent him from playing in Week 4 against the Patriots. He has yet to go over 300 yards passing in three weeks, but Tannehill has been efficient (73 completion percentage) and has seven touchdowns and only two picks in 74 attempts. […]

Blaine Gabbert, David Fluellen Miss Practice

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert (concussion) and running back David Fluellen (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. Gabbert could be forced to sit out in favor of Austin Davis as the backup to Marcus Mariota this weekend against the Eagles. Fluellen is behind both Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis on the depth chart and is […]

Marcus Mariota Will Start In Week 4

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) will start in Week 4 against the Eagles, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Backup Blaine Gabbert (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 3 and may have to sit out this weekend. Newly-signed quarterback Austin Davis may be the backup this Sunday. Mariota has a passer rating of 53.9 […]

Jack Doyle, Anthony Castonzo Sit Out Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) both did not practice on Wednesday. Both players were inactive in Week 3, and it's not looking good so far for their chances of playing this weekend. With tight end Eric Ebron (knee, shoulder) also sidelined Wednesday, quarterback Andrew Luck could be […]

Mitch Trubisky Has Matchup To Produce In Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky has passed for 591 yards with one rushing touchdown, two passing touchdowns and three interceptions heading into Week 4. The second-year quarterback currently has a passer rating of 77.8 and has struggled with accuracy despite ranking only 26th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt. It has been a […]

Eli Manning's Arrow Pointing Up For Week 4

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning heads into Week 4 of the 2018 season with 800 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Manning and the Giants offense got off to a bumpy start but slowly began to click last week against the Texans. Manning and Co. now will go up against a Saints defense […]

Drew Brees Has Solid Matchup Against Giants

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is off to a fantastic start this season, passing for 1,078 yards with eight passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in three games. The 39-year-old is still an elite force in fantasy and will go up against a Giants defense in Week 4 that has allowed 15th most fantasy […]

Nick Mullens Promoted From Practice Squad

The San Francisco 49ers promoted quarterback Nick Mullens from the practice squad on Wednesday. The move was expected after the Niners placed Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) on injured reserve. Mullens is an undrafted second-year player out of Southern Miss who passed for almost 12,000 yards in four collegiate years. His next NFL snap will be his […]

Carson Wentz Tough to Start in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is tough to trust in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. Wentz returned to the field last week and ended up as the QB22 for Week 3. With the Eagles offense still somewhat in disarray mostly due to injuries, it's hard to trust Wentz as a QB1. He'll most likely […]

Tyrod Taylor Still Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) was not back at practice on Wednesday. If he's not cleared in time for Week 4 against the Raiders, the Browns will go with Drew Stanton as the backup to rookie Baker Mayfield. Taylor has lost the starting job to the exciting Mayfield after the rookie led a second-half […]

Fantasy Bomb - Risers and Fallers for Week 4

RotoBaller fantasy football lead editor Pierre Camus (@pfunk00) and writer Chris Mangano (@ChrisMangano) discuss which players could see their fantasy value rise or fall most heading into Week 4 of the 2018 NFL season. This radio show is sponsored by our good friends over at FanPicks. Be sure to tune into RotoBaller Radio on SiriusXM (channel Sirius 210, XM 87) […]

Dak Prescott Still Not a Fantasy Option in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott won't be a fantasy option in Week 4. In Prescott's last 13 games, he's reached 200 yards just three times and thrown for more than one touchdown in just 10 of those games. A league-average quarterback this season is making 17.5 percent of his throws at least 15 yards downfield. […]

Aaron Rodgers To Sit Out Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) will sit out of practice on Wednesday to rest his left knee. After spraining his knee in the season opener, Rodgers has only practiced the day before games on Saturday. This could become a regular occurrence throughout the season for the star quarterback. As long as he's on […]

Kirk Cousins In Tough Spot Against Stout Rams Defense

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will be looking to rebound after a clunker of a game in Week 3. Unfortunately for him, he's facing the Los Angeles Rams who possess the best passing defense in the league through the early season. Luckily, starting corner Aqib Talib (ankle) is out of commission while fellow corner Marcus […]

Ravens Could Trade Robert Griffin III

The San Francisco 49ers need help at the quarterback position and the Baltimore Ravens could oblige them by shipping out third-string quarterback Robert Griffin III. The 49ers, who are expected to start backup C.J. Beathard this upcoming week, are in the market for a signal caller with starter Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) sidelined for the remainder of the […]

Ben Roethlisberger A Low-End QB1 In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has played some excellent football over the past two weeks. Over that span, the star signal-caller has passed for 805 yards, six touchdowns, and just one interception. The Steelers will welcome the division-rival Baltimore Ravens to town on Sunday night in Week 4. Baltimore has been inconsistent against the pass […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 4)

It’s amazing, but we are nearly a quarter of the way through the fantasy season. At this point a savvy fantasy owner can tell if their team is looking like a winner or one that is heading for a dumpster fire. Some NFL teams are the same way, teams like the Raiders and Cardinals are […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 4

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 4

The Baker Mayfield era has arrived in Cleveland. Filling in for the concussed Tyrod Taylor near the end of the second quarter in last week's Thursday Night Football game, Mayfield would go on to complete 17 of his 23 passes for 201 yards en route to the Cleveland Browns' first win in 635 days. Fantasy […]
