WR/CB Matchups to Target and Avoid - Week 4

Three weeks into the NFL season, the PPGA (points per game against) stat is beginning to stabilize and give us a better understanding of CB matchups. The truth is that defensive performance against a position is mostly driven by the receiver. For example, WR2s are only averaging 2.7 PPG against the Bengals. That is more […]

We'll spend each week discussing a few plays at each position for the DraftKings main slate […]

Russell Gage Good To Go For Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (head) was able to get a full practice session in on Saturday and is good to go for Monday night's matchup with the Packers. This is excellent news for a Falcons' offense that could be featuring Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (ankle, calf) at less than 100 percent. […]

Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley Questionable For Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (ankle, calf) are both being listed as questionable for Monday night's clash with the Green Bay Packers. Both players were limited participants on Friday and Saturday, so they're presumably trending in the right direction. Fantasy managers should expect these two to play, though there is […]

NFL DFS - Defenses to Feast On in Week 4

Nothing is more important than matchup analysis when it comes to fantasy football. It is becoming clear that the Colts, 49ers, Chargers and Patriots Defenses are looking like units you want to avoid because they limit opposing passing attacks and point opportunities. On the other side of things it's becoming even more clear that the Seahawks, […]

Week 4 DFS GPP Value Plays - FanDuel, DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football

The Week 4 slate on Draftkings and FanDuel is going to be missing quite a few studs! We began the slate with none of the Green Bay or Atlanta studs because they play on Monday Night. We then had the already old news that none of the Titans or Steelers will be available. And then […]

NFL DFS Value Plays for Week 4 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The NFL was hit with its first wave of COVID-19 postponements this week and has taken the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennesse Titans off the board for this week's DFS slates. Hopefully, this will be the first and only time this happens in 2020, but […]

Julio Jones Trending In The Right Direction For Monday Night

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), who missed Week 3 against the Bears, is trending in the right direction to play on Monday night against the Packers. Jones has an extra day to recover with the game being on Monday night, so as of now, fantasy managers should be planning to use the All-Pro […]

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 […]

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 […]

Falcons Sign Elliott Fry

The Atlanta Falcons signed kicker Elliott Fry to their practice squad on Thursday with Younghoe Koo (groin) expected to miss time with a groin strain. There's a chance that Fry is elevated to the active roster in time to make his NFL debut on Monday night against the Packers. The Falcons have no other place […]

Falcons Defense Not A Starting Option

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should be well off the starting radar for this week against Green Bay. The ATL defense has been the Achilles heel of this team as they have blown late leads in Weeks 2 and 3. They have allowed 38, 40, and 30 points thus far this season and now face a […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 At Best

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is a low-end TE1 for Week 4. Hurst has been hard to figure out on this offense, as he saw eight targets and got 72 yards in Week 2, but only had one reception for one yard in Week 3 when Julio Jones was out and Russell Gage was […]

Russell Gage A Flex Play If Active

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is a flex play if he is active this week against the Packers. Gage suffered a head injury in Week 3 which caused him to miss much of the game. It remains unclear whether he will play in Week 4. The 2018 pick put up an impressive first two […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 For Week 4

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a WR1 for Week 4 against Green Bay. In three games, the Alabama product has seen no less than 10 targets and has recorded at least 109 yards, an incredible feat. Ridley has emerged as a reliable and explosive target for Matt Ryan. Against a Green Bay defense […]

Julio Jones A WR1 Against Green Bay If Active

If active, Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) will be a WR1 for this week's showdown against the Packers on Monday night. The talented wideout was inactive in Week 3 due to a hamstring injury, and it remains unclear if he will play this week. If he does suit up, expect him to see his normal […]

Todd Gurley II A Solid RB2 In Week 4

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is an RB2 for the Week 4 clash against the Packers. Though he hasn't been a factor in the receiving game, Gurley has seen no less than 14 carries and 56 rushing yards in a game this season. His role as the lead back is not in peril […]

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 […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 3's Studs Turned Duds

The NFL was low on studs in Week 3. The top two players in fantasy, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley, were both out injured. Three of the top wide receivers in football, Julio Jones, Davante Adams, and Michael Thomas, were all out as well. We also were without the second-best tight end in the game […]
