Matt Breida Has Avoidable Matchup

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida is looking to rebound after his awful performance last week. In Week 3, Breida rushed three times for four yards in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Dolphins use a three-back committee, which hurts the value of Breida. It appears Myles Gaskin is the lead back, while Jordan […]

Jordan Howard Looks To Extend Touchdown Streak

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard has a total of 12 rushing yards through the first three games of the season. Despite that, Howard has scored a touchdown in every game so far. Miami has a three-back committee, but leans on Myles Gaskins as their lead back. Howard usually gets a handful of carries, but […]

Myles Gaskin Could Do Damage In Week 4

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has quickly become the clear-cut lead back in Miami. Last week, Gaskin rushed 22 times for 66 yards and hauled in five passes for 29 yards in the victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's worth noting that Miami does continue to involve Jordan Howard and Matt Breida in their […]

Texans-Vikings Game Will Be Played Sunday

The game between the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings will be played, as scheduled, this Sunday, according to sources. The Vikings had zero positive COVID-19 tests from Thursday's round of testing. The game was in question earlier this week following a rash of positive COVID-19 cases among Titans players and personnel. Tennessee played against the […]

JaMycal Hasty Should See Week 4 Work

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back JaMycal Hasty made his NFL debut in Week 3 against the New York Giants, but only rushed the ball twice for nine yards. With both Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) out, there are additional opportunities in the 49ers backfield, but Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson Jr. remain […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. A Solid Flex Or Low-End RB2 In Week 4

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. should be in line for another heavy workload in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In Week 3, Wilson earned 15 touches and was able to find the end zone twice. The 49ers' No 1. running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is likely to miss his second-straight game […]

Jerick McKinnon A Solid RB2 In Week 4

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon (ribs) suffered a rib injury in Week 3 against the New York Giants, but he has returned to practice in full. He will be the team's starting running back for the second-straight game in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles as Raheem Mostert (knee) will likely remain out. […]

Chase Edmonds Could Be A Sneaky Desperation Play

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has failed to contribute much to the offense the past two weeks. He totaled just 34 yards in the team's Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions. However, he's still been the team's top pass-catching option out of the backfield this year. He has 11 targets on the year, […]

Start Kenyan Drake With Confidence In Week 4

Through three weeks, Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake has excelled in the most important metric for all running backs: volume. He's had at least 18 touches in each of the team's first three games. Expect that trend to continue as the Cardinals face the Carolina Panthers in Week 4. The Panthers have allowed 124 […]

RB Insurance Report: Essential Adds and Backfield Updates

Chris Carson often plays at a fantasy RB1 level when he is available. But he has a checkered injury history that even preceded his college days. So when I drafted him in several leagues this season, I made sure to take Carlos Hyde later on as an insurance pick every time. So when Carson went […]

Key Moves to Save the Season for Winless Fantasy Teams

No fantasy football manager ever goes into the season thinking he or she is staring down the barrel of an 0-3 start. Maybe we have a roster spot or two we can foresee giving us issues, but unless we possess the most defeatist of attitudes, we likely feel the team we drafted will give us […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 4

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

Were We Wrong To Be Excited About Joe Mixon?

We did it again. I say "we" because I'm right there with you. We told ourselves we wouldn't be duped. We told ourselves that we wouldn't go back considering the frustration he caused us in the past; yet, here we are, rostering Joe Mixon and wondering what we've gotten ourselves into again. It seems like […]

Royce Freeman Sees Five Touches In Week 4

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman carried the ball just three times for six yards and caught both of his targets for six yards in the passing game in the Thursday night win over the Jets. Phillip Lindsay (toe) sat out his third straight game, but he's close to returning and should be back in […]

Melvin Gordon III Rushes For Over 100 Yards, Two Touchdowns

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had his best performance with his new team in Thursday night's 37-28 victory over the Jets, running the ball a season-high 23 times for 107 yards and two rushing touchdowns. He added two catches on three targets for 11 yards through the air. With Phillip Lindsay (toe) missing […]

La'Mical Perine Invisible In Week 4

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine has been unable to make much of an impact since making his NFL debut in Week 2. On Thursday, Perine rushed five times for 15 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Sam Darnold surprisingly finished with more rushing attempts than Perine in the game. The […]

Frank Gore Finishes With 30 Yards

New York Jets running back Frank Gore was held in check by the Denver Broncos Defense on Thursday. Gore rushed 13 times for 30 yards and caught one pass for six yards in the loss to Denver. The veteran running back has been asked to carry a heavy workload with Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) sidelined. Sadly, […]

David Johnson Has Good Week 4 Matchup

When the Houston Texans face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they'll face a team that's allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Considering their first three opponents allowed the 17th, 29th, and 31st-most points to the position, this is a huge plus for Texans running back David Johnson. While the return of Duke […]

Joshua Kelley Should Be Avoided In Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley should be avoided in Week 4 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie has looked impressive in three weeks, but he saw his snap count decrease after a fumble in Week 3. The rookie was in a nearly equal split with Austin Ekeler in Week 1 and […]

Austin Ekeler Remains A Top PPR Option

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will draw a tough matchup against a strong Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense in Week 4. Ekeler has been operating as the Chargers lead back and has been putting up RB1 numbers, but the Buccaneers have yet to allow more than 60 yards rushing in a game. The Bucs […]

Nyheim Hines Not A Strong Option In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is not a good play in Week 4 against the Bears. It has been previously stated that Hines's value rests in the passing game, and the Bears are one of the best teams in the league against the pass. The Bears also have an average run defense, so the […]

Jonathan Taylor Has Good Matchup Against Bears

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is running the ball well since being named the starter in Week 2. He is averaging 80 rushing yards per game with a touchdown in each contest over the last two weeks. Taylor will have a good chance to build on his last two performances against a Bears Defense […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is A Strong Play In Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is set up for a big performance against the New England Patriots in Week 4. CEH has been performing as a RB1 and has picked up 11 receptions over the past two weeks. The rookie has always been getting the bulk of snaps out of the backfield. […]

Phillip Lindsay Officially Inactive Thursday Night

As expected, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) will officially miss the Week 4 meeting with the New York Jets. Melvin Gordon III will serve as the team's primary running back in this one and is a solid RB2 option. Meanwhile, expect a sprinkling of Royce Freeman, but with just six carries all year, […]

James Robinson Has Plus Matchup In Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson has three touchdown runs in the past two games and has seen a marked increase in his passing-game usage over the course of the early season, catching six passes against Miami. He gets a solid Week 4 matchup against the Bengals, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to […]

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 […]
