Lamar Jackson Expected To Suit Up Against Broncos

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (back), listed as questionable, is expected to play in Week 4 against Denver. Jackson has been bothered by a back injury, which held him out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday- though fantasy managers should have no concerns, considering he logged a full practice on Friday and played through the […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Week 4

The arrival of Week 4 in the NFL has teams beginning to reveal their play calling tendencies.

Andy Dalton Downgraded To Doubtful

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is doubtful to suit up during the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The veteran was limited during practice throughout the week as he continues to recover from a bone bruise in his knee. Nonetheless, there is a chance Dalton could return for the Week 5 showdown against […]

Justin Fields Will Start Against The Lions

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will start in Week 4 against the Lions. Veteran signal-caller Andy Dalton (knee) was initially labeled as a game-time decision but has since been downgraded to doubtful. As a result, the door is open for Fields to remain under center for the divisional matchup with Detroit. After the rookie had […]

Week 4 Red Zone Alert - Risers and Fallers

The truth is it is still early, as we are in Week 4 of a 17-week season.  But trends are starting to emerge, and players are starting to shine. Rather than individual positions, this time we will evaluate team offenses who have seen their fortunes rise or fall based on early results. As a reminder, […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

As good as football has been this young season, the game is also laughable. The league wants these referees to call these ticky-tacky penalties. On the winning touchdown drive for the Chargers, they had a 4th-and-9 from the Chiefs 35 when Justin Herbert's pass was incomplete. But of course, a pass interference was called. It […]

Bear Down: Justin Fields' Fantasy Influence

Some things are known. The Adam Gase curse is real. Some things will never be known. What came first, the chicken or the egg? And some things are uncertain. Is Matt Nagy a good coach and how does this affect what we can expect from Justin Fields for the rest of 2021? We are not […]

Matt Ryan - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The 36-year old isn't thriving under new Head Coach Arthur Smith, and Calvin Ridley managers are yelling at their televisions asking, "What is going on?!". Still, after a dismal Week 1 (7.36 points), Ryan has thrown two touchdowns in back-to-back games and averaged 19.46 fantasy points per game (FPPG) in Weeks 2 and 3. Unfortunately, it seems […]

Mac Jones A QB2 Versus Tampa Bay

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has not found much success during his first three games in the NFL. Last week, he threw three interceptions in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. Luckily, he'll get an easier matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. A secondary that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cousins is absolutely balling out right now, completing 73.9% of his passes while averaging 306 yards per game and 7.7 yards per attempt. He's thrown eight touchdowns with zero interceptions. The most encouraging part about this start is the volume, as the Vikings have been run-heavy in the last two years, but Cousins is averaging […]

Dak Prescott - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Prescott should be able to turn in a strong performance against a pass-funnel Panthers defense. The Panthers have limited opposing running backs to only 2.19 YPC (1st) and rank first in rush DVOA. The Cowboys have shown a willingness to adapt their offensive philosophy depending on their opponent. The last time they faced such a […]

Ryan Tannehill - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Even though he finished as a QB1 in Week 3, it has largely been a horrific start to the 2021 season for Tannehill. With just two touchdowns over the first two games, he found himself as QB24 after those two efforts. We are clearly seeing the downside to Tannehill when he is not operating at […]

Quenton Nelson Placed On Injured Reserve

The Indianapolis Colts placed All-Pro offensive guard Quenton Nelson (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Saturday with a high ankle sprain. In corresponding moves, the team elevated safety Ibraheim Campbell and quarterback Brett Hundley to the active roster from the practice squad. Nelson was carted off the field in the Week 3 loss to the Tennessee […]

Derek Carr - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carr has filled the stat sheet with passing yards to start off the season, as he has averaged 401 yards and two passing touchdowns per game. In Week 4, he is in for his toughest matchup of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers defense that held Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs to just 260 […]

Josh Allen - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Allen woke up from his season-long slumber last week, completing 32-of-43 passes for 358 yards and four touchdowns while adding another touchdown on the ground. He finished as QB1 for the week against the underachieving Washington Football Team defense. Allen gets another great spot against a Texans defense that has given up 8.01 yards per […]

Carson Wentz - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Wentz has finished as QB19, QB17, and QB31 so far this season. He's only averaging 6.5 yards per attempt and playing hurt with his ankle injuries. While Wentz should be in better shape for this game, it's a tough matchup against a Dolphins defense that limited Josh Allen to 5.4 yards per attempt two weeks ago. The […]

Bold Predictions for Week 4

Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like excrement at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]

Week 4 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint

Welcome back RotoBallers! As we head into Week 4 of the NFL season, we are approaching the time where getting off to a slow start can cross the line and get into "I may be digging too deep of a hole to climb out of " territory. It's more critical than ever to make the […]

Cardinals Offensive Line Could Be At Less Than Full Strength

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that starting offensive linemen Kelvin Beachum (ribs), Justin Pugh (back) and Justin Murray (back) will be game-time decisions in Week 4 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. All three players are officially listed as questionable. That's not exactly what you want to hear against one of the strongest […]
