Keep […]

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 4 Lineups

Week 4 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

As you've probably figured out already, fantasy football is a roller coaster ride. It's give and take. It's one step forward, two steps backwards most of the time. No game in Week 3 encapsulates this more than Bucs-Giants. Tampa's stud wideout Mike Evans had six catches for 89 scoreless yards through two weeks. Then he […]

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

Through three weeks of the season, it sure looks like we'll see a Patriots-Chiefs AFC Championship rematch. Both of those teams look unstoppable. My one qualm with New England is they've yet to face a formidable opponent. The combined record of New England's opponents is 0-9. Now they get a real test on the road […]

Ronald Jones II A Very Risky Week 4 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is coming off his most productive game of the season in Week 3, but expecting him to build off of that performance may be too much of an ask. Jones and the Bucs travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams in Week 4, and while […]

Peyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 4 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber doesn't necessarily have the toughest Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams on deck, but fantasy owners should steer clear nonetheless. The Bucs are likely to try and establish the run early in hopes of keeping the Rams offense off the field, but the high-scoring Rams unit […]

Joe Mixon Needs A Big Day Against The Steelers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is off to an extremely slow start in 2019, but he should bounce back against the Steelers in Week 4. Through the first three games of the season, the Steelers have given up the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Opposing running backs have been […]

Royce Freeman Continues To Lag

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman continues to lag behind teammate Phillip Lindsay, as he continues to see less usage than his teammate. Freeman had a subpar game last week as he continues to search for his breakout game of 2019. The former Oregon Duck will line up against a middle-of-the-pack Jacksonville Jaguars rush defense. […]

Phillip Lindsay Looks To Follow Up Strong Showing

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay posted a strong performance in Week 3, having the biggest game from a Denver running back this year. Lindsay saw 56% snap count usage, compared to his teammate Royce Freeman's 49% last week. This is one of the bigger gaps between the two in recent weeks, and Lindsay looks […]

Mark Ingram A High-Ceiling RB2

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram dominated in Week 3's loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. Ingram rushed 16 times for 103 yards and three touchdowns. He will continue to receive the bulk of the backfield share in Week 4 against a Browns Defense that didn't allow the Rams backfield in the end zone in […]

LeSean McCoy Good To Go For Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) re-injured his ankle in the Week 3 win, but he had a much better week of practice and is good to go for Week 4 against the Lions. There's always the risk that Shady aggravates the ankle again this weekend, but he will have RB2 upside with […]

Kenyan Drake Still A Poor Option in Miami Muck

With only 147 total yards and no touchdowns on the season, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has been a fantasy dud so far in 2019. There are a few things that his owners can take heart in though, such as his snap rate and touches increasing in each game. Unfortunately, those snaps and touches […]

Alexander Mattison Has Little Value in Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison had a surprisingly solid week during the Week 3 contest versus the Oakland Raiders. Mattison rushed 12 times for 58 yards and a touchdown. This was the first time that Mattison had double digit rushing attempts this season, but that was likely a fluke game. Dalvin Cook is the […]

Dalvin Cook Remains RB1 Despite Tough Matchup

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has been dazzling through the first three weeks of the season. He's rushed for 375 yards and four touchdowns through three games and isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Cook heads into a matchup against an elite Chicago Bears Defense. This is going to be his toughest challenge […]

RB Snap Counts and Touch Trends: Week 3 Analysis

Welcome to Week 4! With the season in full swing, it appears that most NFL teams have solidified the roles of their backfields. While some running backs have had a significantly increased workload or have become the workhorse of their respective teams, others have fallen into the dreaded territory of running-back-by-committee (RBBC). So, once again, […]

Darwin Thompson Should Be Avoided in Week 4

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson could see action in the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions, but should remain benched in fantasy leagues. Lead back Damien Williams (knee) is ruled out once again this week. LeSean McCoy and Darrel Williams will be asked to carry the load at running back. Darwin Thompson […]

Darrel Williams is A Desperation Flex Option

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams saw a significant increase in value with lead running back Damien Williams (knee) sidelined last week. The same is true for this week, so he'll continue to have value. Williams saw work behind LeSean McCoy last week, but McCoy was the favored back. He was able to have […]

LeSean McCoy Has RB2 Value Against Lions

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is a little banged up, but should be fine for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Chiefs are without running back Damien Williams (knee) once again. McCoy is going to see an increased workload because of that. The Lions have been awful at stopping […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 9/28/19 (Late Slate)

Welcome to Week 5 of the college football season! After three extremely fun weeks of football, this fifth week is looking like the best one yet.

Jamaal Williams Released From Hospital

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (head, neck) was released from the hospital on Friday after being taken off the field on a stretcher on Thursday night following a scary hit on the first play of the game against the Eagles. "He's at home now and it sounds like he's doing well," head coach […]

Melvin Gordon Has Good Chance To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has a good chance to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Dolphins with Justin Jackson (calf) now out possibly for multiple weeks. The Chargers aren't ready to give Gordon the lead-back role -- that still belongs to Austin Ekeler for another week -- but he's […]
