When Is Jonathon Brooks Going To Play? Latest Injury Update for Week 4

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks was the first ball carrier off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft. In fact, he was the only RB taken inside the first two rounds. These facts automatically make him an intriguing fantasy football asset, but he has not yet taken the field for his NFL debut. The […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays, and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 4 - Demario Douglas, Emanuel Wilson, Geno Smith, Tyler Conklin

We are nearly a quarter of the way into the NFL season. Despite plenty of big-name players currently being sidelined due to injuries, we have not had a ton of huge waiver names popping up just yet.

Fantasy Football Matchups We Love - Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 4 Include Josh Allen, Mike Evans, Najee Harris, Aaron Rodgers, more

Week 3 was one of the strangest NFL weeks in recent memory. The scoring was down again. Significant underdogs blew out their opponents. Perhaps most importantly, even more fantasy-relevant players went down to injuries. Given the turmoil in the NFL, it felt like all the Week 3 avoids were rightfully avoided but many of the […]

We are already 20% through the fantasy football regular season. While it's hard to believe that three weeks of the NFL came and went, it does feel like we've experienced a year's worth of ups and downs. This past week's slate of games had no shortage of shocking performances, both good and bad. Malik Willis […]

High-Powered Offenses: Fantasy Football Players to Target in Week 4 Lineups

Hello, RotoBallers, and welcome to Week 4 of the High-Powered Offenses column. Week 3 was a rough one for fantasy with more poor performances and injuries. It wasn't all bad, though, as elite tailbacks like Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Kyren Williams, and Jonathan Taylor went off. We also saw Ja'Marr Chase finally look like himself […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Report for Week 4 - Searching for League Winners

As stated in last week's column, rookies provide massive value for fantasy managers because they can often be acquired cheaply and have a much higher chance of outperforming their ADPs. There's no previous NFL tape or statistics to lean on, so rookies can be difficult for fantasy managers to evaluate. There are many fantasy-relevant rookies […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (9/27/24)

Once again, we have four power conference teams playing on Friday night. I could get used to this, especially with MACtion still months away. We begin in Miami with the Hokies in town.

Carson Steele - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Carson Steele made for an interesting story in the preseason as the undrafted rookie turned heads throughout camp. His hard-running style and production in the preseason games earned him a spot on the initial 53-man roster when the regular season began. Steele has quickly […]

Devin Singletary Shut Down By The Cowboys In Week 4

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a quiet night in Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, managing just 24 rushing yards on 14 carries for a lackluster 1.7 yards per attempt. Singletary's longest run of the evening went for just five yards, as he struggled to find running lanes against a tough […]

Raheem Mostert Limited As Week 4 Prep Begins

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (chest) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. It was somewhat promising to see Mostert, who hasn't played since Week 1, get on the field in some capacity a full four days before Miami's game against the Tennessee Titans. Having Mostert available would be great for a Dolphins […]

Jaylen Warren Sidelined Again Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. Now, less than three days until Pittsburgh's Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts, it looks like Warren is trending toward being inactive, though Friday's injury report should provide more context surrounding his status. If he is indeed sidelined, Najee Harris […]

Najee Harris Back At Practice, Good To Go For Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (rest) practiced in a full capacity on Thursday, according to the team. He had missed practice on Wednesday, but it was merely to give him a little rest, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he was back on Thursday. Harris could be headed for an expanded role […]

Jayden Reed - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should consider starting Jayden Reed in their lineup this week against the Minnesota Vikings, especially if quarterback Jordan Love returns from his knee injury. Reed has shown promise in his second season, and even without Love last week, he managed to secure […]

Rhamondre Stevenson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should still consider starting Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers, despite his disappointing performance in Week 3. Stevenson saw fewer opportunities last week, with just six carries and a fumble, which led to less than one fantasy […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should still consider starting Jaxon Smith-Njigba in their lineup this week against the Detroit Lions, given his recent surge in production and consistent involvement in the Seahawks' offense. Even though Smith-Njigba had just three catches for 39 yards in Week 3, he […]

Kareem Hunt - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5 ANALYSIS: Newly signed Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt isn't a player you should consider starting in Week 4. Chiefs RB Carson Steele was somewhat disappointing in his first crack as the lead back for the Chiefs, but that doesn't mean he'll be completely kicked out of the […]

Is Alvin Kamara Playing This Week? Week 4 Fantasy Football Injury Update

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been one of the biggest fantasy football draft bargains this season. He was a mid-round pick in most drafts. Yet, the veteran running back has been outstanding. Kamara is the RB2 this season, averaging 25.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Saquon Barkley (26.5) is the only […]

Ray Davis Remains A Bench Stash Heading Into Week 4

Fresh off his first career touchdown, Ray Davis enters Week 4 as one of the best running back bench stashes across the league. The Bills are committed to a dedicated rushing attack, leaning on James Cook early in games as they build their leads. Davis spells Cook on early downs, while Ty Johnson enters the […]

James Cook Faces Toughest Run Defense In Football In Week 4

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook, the current RB6 in fantasy football, draws his toughest test yet of the 2024 season. The Baltimore Ravens allow a league-low 50 rushing yards per game, 21 yards fewer than the next team on the list. The Raiders and Cowboys' subpar rushing attacks brought the average down, but the […]

Is Bijan Robinson Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been a consistent presence in the Falcons offense this year. He hasn't quite lived up to the ridiculous hype he earned, and he's just the RB15 in PPR fantasy points right now. He's averaged 4.1 yards per carry, which isn't quite elite, but his workhorse role is nice […]

Zach Charbonnet A Risky Play In Week 4

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is a risky play in Week 4. The Seahawks will face the No. 1 defense against opposing running backs when they visit the Detroit Lions. To make matters worse for Charbonnet, fellow running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) has a chance to play in this game after returning to […]
