Bengals Could Be Bad Matchup For Gardner Minshew II

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II is coming off a disappointing Week 3 performance in which he failed to throw for a touchdown despite completing 71.43 percent of his passes. Now, Minshew will look to bounce back against the Bengals on Sunday. The problem? Cincinnati is only allowing 16.5 fantasy points per game to opposing […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 4

We have officially made it to Week 4 and the NFL is rewarding us with a Jets-Broncos Thursday Night contest. Unfortunately, this does not jump off the page as a fantasy frenzy like the last few. However, this doesn’t mean there aren’t any fantasy points to be had.  Last week many outstanding fantasy performances were […]

Thursday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings

Week 4 of the NFL season is underway and the Thursday Night Football showdown slate features an interesting matchup as the Denver Broncos take on the New York Jets! This game currently has a 39.5 over/under with the Broncos being favored by 1 point. In this article, I will be providing you with daily fantasy football […]

Joe Flacco Active Against Broncos

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) is active for the Thursday night game against the Broncos as Sam Darnold's backup. With Flacco active, the team released quarterback Mike White. The 35-year-old Flacco is purely a clipboard holder for Darnold as long as he's healthy, which makes him useless in fantasy football. Never much of […]

Tyron Smith Returns To Practice

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (back) returned to practice on a limited basis on Thursday for the first time in a few weeks. Smith played in the season-opener but hasn't been on the field since, but it looks like he has a chance to return to the starting unit this Sunday against the Browns. […]

Teddy Bridgewater A Sleeper In Week 4

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is a sleeper in Week 4 despite a tough matchup against the Cardinals. Arizona has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing signal-callers, though they've surrendered two passing touchdowns in two of three contests this season. Bridgewater quietly ranks in the top-10 in passing yards, completion percentage and yards per […]

Baker Mayfield Could See Plenty Of Volume In Week 4

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield heads to Dallas to take on the Cowboys in Week 4. The Browns have leaned heavily on the run through the first three games of the season, which has capped Mayfield's weekly upside. The third-year quarterback is averaging just 28.3 pass attempts per game and only topped 23 attempts once, […]

Steelers-Titans Will Not Be Played In Week 4

After more positive COVID-19 tests on Thursday from the Tennessee Titans, their Week 4 contest between the Pittsburgh Steelers is being moved to later in the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We don't know when the game will be played now, but we do know that fantasy managers need to make sure Titans and […]

Steelers And Titans To Be Scheduled For Monday Night

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans appear to be slated for a Monday night game this week. They were originally scheduled to play on Sunday, but positive COVID-19 tests from four Titans players forced the game to be postponed. CBS was informed on Wednesday that the game will be scheduled for Monday night now, assuming […]

Jared Goff Is A Safe Play In Week 4

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is on a quest for a QB1-level season. He's currently QB9 as things stand, and he has a solid chance to improve that standing in Week 4 against the New York Giants. The Giants were just demolished at home by the San Francisco 49ers with backups starting all over […]

Tyrod Taylor, Joey Bosa Miss Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (chest, ribs) and defensive end Joey Bosa (ankle, triceps) both missed practice on Wednesday. The Chargers aren't ruling Taylor out for the Week 4 matchup against the Buccaneers, but this isn't a good start to the week for the QB. He's recovering from a punctured lung that has caused […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Green Bay

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 in Monday night's game against the Packers. With the ATL defense reeling, Ryan and the offense have had up to put tons of points on the board to stay competitive. As a result, the QB has been putting up great numbers all season, including a four-touchdown […]

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

You can officially start panicking. We're already through three weeks of the year, and by next Monday at this time, you'll be looking at the schedule to realize that a quarter of the season is already behind us. It sucks, but it means there are still three more quarters ahead of us! Yay! To gain […]

Drew Brees A QB2 Against Lions

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a QB2 for this week's matchup against the Lions. The veteran hasn't been the most explosive fantasy option this season and there has also been speculation of his decline. While he's still putting up serviceable numbers, they haven't been consistent. He tossed three touchdowns in Week 3, but […]

Jimmy Garoppolo The Starter When Healthy

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is the team's starter over Nick Mullens when he's healthy. Garoppolo missed last week and Mullens threw for over 300 yards and a touchdown against the winless Giants, but the Niners are making it clear that Jimmy G is the starter when […]

Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert Not Practicing Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), running back Raheem Mostert (knee) and defensive end Dee Ford (back) will not practice on Wednesday. Garoppolo is week-to-week with an ankle sprain and doesn't look to be on track to return in Week 4 against the Eagles, which would allow Nick Mullens to make his second straight […]

Aaron Rodgers Primed To Feast On Falcons

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have a fantastic matchup in Week 4 against the Falcons on Monday Night Football. The Falcons are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing passers, including 362 passing yards a game and nine passing touchdowns through three games. Rodgers, in turn, already has nine touchdown passes himself this […]

Top Early-Season Trade Targets

We’re three weeks into the NFL season, and it’s time for you to start getting aggressive on your league mates. After three weeks, people are convinced they know who’s going to be the producers for their fantasy teams later in the year. They’re wrong, and, with that in mind, you can capitalize on guys that […]

Nick Foles Has Tough Matchup

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles will have a tough matchup in his first start in a Bears uniform in Week 4 against the Colts. Foles came off the bench to replace Mitchell Trubisky in Week 3 and exploded for 188 yards and three touchdowns in just over a quarter to lead a furious 16-point comeback. […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals From Week 3

With Week 3 in the books, we now have to take a step back and analyze which players could be trending in the wrong direction. Being objective will be key here since some of these players were held in high regard going into the season. Nonetheless, it's about exploiting gaps in the market and selling […]

Matthew Stafford Has Prime Matchup Against Saints

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will have a fantastic matchup against a highly disappointing Saints Defense in Week 4. The Saints have allowed nine total touchdowns (eight passing, one rushing), 268.7 passing yards a game and at least 20+plus fantasy points to the first three quarterbacks they have faced. Stafford is averaging 270 passing yards […]

Carson Wentz Almost Not Startable In Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is approaching unstartable status in most fantasy formats and should definitely not be starting in standard formats in Week 4. Wentz and the Eagles offense have been a mess this season, with the quarterback throwing three touchdowns and six interceptions while completing just 59.8% of his pass attempts. The Eagles […]

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. […]

Kirk Cousins No More Than A QB2 In Week 4

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will try and build off his Week 3 performance against the Texans this Sunday. The season is on the line for the Vikings (0-3) and Cousins is coming off a Week 3 performance that saw him pass for 251 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He will go up […]

La'el Collins Working Through Hip Injury

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins (hip) is dealing with a hip injury that has become a real challenge on a day-to-day basis. Sources say that Collins is trying to work through the issue and is committed to playing this year. The Cowboys said that he would likely have surgery "if it was Week 10 […]

Dak Prescott A Top-Tier Option In Week 4

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a top-tier fantasy option for a Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Prescott has been incredible so far this season, mostly buoyed by a likely unsustainable passing volume. He's currently on pace to make 768 passing attempts this season, but he has shown that he can still do […]

Russell Wilson Has A Great Matchup In Week 4

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is averaging over 34 fantasy points per game, and he's got a great shot to continue that roll in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones (groin/Achilles) is still dealing with an injury, and Wilson has just been cooking. Even against the New England Patriots, he threw […]

Sam Darnold A Risky Option Versus Broncos

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is coming off his worst performance of the 2020 campaign. He completed 17 of 29 passing attempts for 168 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Darnold has not looked sharp all season long, but it's not all his fault. The Jets […]

Titans-Steelers Game Being Postponed

Sunday's Week 4 game between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers is being postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, according to multiple sources. The NFL is considering all options to reschedule, with Monday night as one of the possibilities. This will be based on COVID-19 test results in the coming days. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 3

This series continues into its third week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge of how each team's play-caller historically operates and compiled data to help make informed decisions throughout the regular season as […]
