Matthew Stafford at Cowboys: Certainly, Stafford is my fantasy weakness; I can not leave him. But I force myself not to bite the bait this week. Stafford has a top-12 spot, a QB9 at Week 2 against the Niners, and made the decision with the QB26 and QB14 in weeks 1 and 3. From a talent perspective, Dallas is not a too big confrontation for Stafford, but this defense continues to play over his head under the robust DC Rod Marinelli. The Cowboys gave the quarterbacks the smallest number of fantastic points, ranked 15th in DVOA defensive and second in the sacks. They still have to rank in the top 12, now Cam Newton at QB14, Eli Manning at QB26 and Russell Wilson at QB17. Stafford has arguably the best support cast and global talent pool among these four passers-by, but Dallas has long been a puncture on the fantastic points for QB. The Lions-Cowboys total of 44 points is the third lowest of the week. This game appears to be dominated in the field.

Russell Wilson at the Cardinals: Wilson has thrown several touchdowns at every start, but averages less than 239 yards per game and has been stripped of his abilities to a solid and solid level in recent years. Wilson has only 21 rushing yards with zero touchdowns and has absorbed 14 league sacks. The Cardinals are not a particularly intimidating opponent and Doug Baldwin (knee) may be back, but he is on the road in the division with a total of 39 points. Arizona ranks 11th in the fantastic points awarded to quarterbacks, 18th in the DVOA defense and t-10th in the sacks. Written as the best fantasy passer, Wilson has been a big bust like the QB16. His support team is perhaps the worst he has ever been in Seattle, and his coaching staff is one of the most dedicated members of the league.

Ryan Fitzpatrick at Bears: League General QB1, FitzMagic, was magical for three games. The score of the fund is superb, but we saw signs Monday night of the classic Fitzpatrick fusion. He made three choices against the Steelers before rallying in the second half in return mode. Fitzpatrick has been a fun story, but going on the road against the Bears over a short week is not an ideal situation. The Bears are the best defenders of fantasy, they are leading the bag rankings, third interceptions and third place in DVOA. This side of the ball is what Chicago has in contention for three weeks. The level of competition has been low, however. Aaron Rodgers missed much of the tilt of Week 1 before making an incredible comeback in the second period before the Bears had no problems with Russell Wilson and Sam Bradford in weeks 2 and 3 Fitzpatrick is on a radiator available that is in better places on paper. Can not blame those who continue to ride this wave, however. "Data-reactid =" 27 ">Is sitting

COME BACK

Beginning of the week: Phillip Lindsay vs. Chiefs: The owners of Lindsay were certainly not thrilled when the rookie was launched from the third week against the Ravens for throwing several punches in a scrum in the second quarter. His day was over after four races for 20 yards. Lindsay is still in the top nine in the league, winning 198 yards and placing third in yards per race (6.0) among the backs with at least 20 portages. Lindsay is fourth in the Pro Football Focus Elusive ranking, which takes into account missed tackles and yards after contact, regardless of blocking. Prior to Lindsay's Lindsay ejection, Lindsay led the league with 54 saves for Royce Freeman's 45 and 41 for Devontae Booker. The Chiefs were dug on the ground, as well as the pass, allowing the most fantastic to gain points. And only the Falcons and Colts gave more catches to the runners. With most teams attempting to cling to the Chiefs' high attack attack, opposing fouls usually have to catch up and / or play aggressively. Lindsay is this guy in Denver, assuming the coaches do not punish him for his fault of week 3. Assuming everything stays as it was in weeks 1-2, Lindsay is a rising game Strong RB2 in a match with easily the highest total on the board at 55.5 points.

departures

Lamar Miller at Colts: Miller has been more than adequate as a reliable source of fantastic points, but he still has no real strategy game. He is the current RB24 in half-PPR and has not yet scored on the field despite his 10th place in the league with eight red zone portages. Miller, however, was able to catch a touchdown last week against the Giants in five assists. Miller dominates the backfield job in Houston, playing 160 clicks, sixth among the halfbacks. He has to pay the average. The Colts dropped the seventh highest number of fantastic points to the halves, including the second highest number of points. Miller has eight points to win this season, and Deshaun Watson is not opposed to getting the ball into space, especially as Houston has absolutely nothing behind DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. This is even more true after Bruce Ellington was sent to I.R. with a hamstring injury this week. The Texans-Colts have a solid total of 47 points, with a slight rise to qualify in a dome game with many high-level talents in both cases. Miller is an immobilized RB2 for a great match. The owners should not be frustrated and send it to the bench.

Kerryon Johnson at Cowboys: Johnson was the first Lions to run for 100 yards since 2013 with a 16-101-0 line against the Patriots last Sunday night. The Lions and LeGarrette Blount both managed 16 games in a game that the Lions surprisingly dominated from start to finish. Theo Riddick continues to play in hellish passes and packs from behind, but Johnson is clearly the most talented player on the team. In weeks 2 and 3, Johnson played 68 clicks on Riddick's 49 and Blount's 43. Johnson averages 6.0 YPC in this period and now gets a Dallas defense that will fight badly without LB Sean Lee (thigh). injured last week. The defense immediately felt the loss, giving up more than 100 yards and a touchdown to Chris Carson. When Lee missed five games last year, six semifinal games had 80 yards and / or one touchdown. Johnson should build on his strong week 3.

Sony Michel against dolphins: Michel was not as efficient in both games, scoring 24 yards in 84 yards (3.5 YPC), and last week the defense against the terrible Lions run was particularly disappointing. But with Rex Burkhead (at the neck) at I.R., Michel is practically deadlocked while James White now has a hobby and hurries to work primarily for himself. Burkhead's injury helped to clarify the situation in what was once a truly unpredictable playground. He'll probably keep us on guard, but Michel jumps straight into the RB2 status in an attack that will certainly become much more explosive with the addition of Josh Gordon and the return of Julian Edelman from the suspension of week 5. Michel could not take advantage of the Lions last week, but this offensive unit is too good to be held back long, so I still love Michel against Miami. The Finals have given the seventh greatest number of fantastic points to the running backs, and this one is in New England with the Patriots as favorites of the touchdown. Their implied total of 27.5 points is tied for the fifth highest in week 4. We are going to want all major contributors to this offense on a weekly basis.

Derrick Henry vs. Eagles: Fantastic footballers say it's "too easy," but Henry is one of the biggest backs of the first three weeks. He was among the top nine in number of attempts, but could not do anything with them. Henry turned 46 attempts in 139 scoreless yards (3.02 YPC) and saw 18 consecutive carries. The clashes were terrible, however, against Texans and Jaguars. Things are not easier this Sunday. The Eagles allowed the second highest number of fantastic points to qualify for U-turns with runners averaging 2.83 YPCs. Philly is number 2 of the DVOA for the defense against the race. If the match gets out of control in the Eagles' favor, Henry will likely be relegated to the bench while Dion Lewis will play the vast majority of the snaps in the catch-up and pass modes for the Titans. Henry has A catch this season. Henry is a volatile RB3 with significant downside potential, although it is still a threat to break one. Henry made a touchdown of more than 60 yards in the first week against the Dolphins due to a low possession penalty.

Isaiah Crowell at Jaguars: The league's touchdown leader with four players, as well as Todd Gurley and Carlos Hyde, Crowell was a big hit for the Jets. It averages 4.2 YPC and dominates after contact at 4.1 after contact with the YPC, just behind Austin Ekeler at 4.9. Crowell had two massive weeks, scoring two touchdowns in weeks 1 and 3 against the Lions and Browns. This match of Jaguars does not seem to be repeated on paper. Jacksonville is the No. 7 defending DVOA and has given the tenth smallest number of fantastic points to the halves. Crowell is the RB10 of fantasy right now, but the Jaguars have eliminated Derrick Henry, Dion Lewis and Sony Michel in two consecutive weeks. They also held Saquon Barkley 38 yards in 17 carries out of a 68-yard touchdown run in the second half. The Jets are huge road dogs with 7.5 points. Chances are it will turn into a Bilal Powell match in the backfield of Gang Green.

Sean McCoy at Packers: McCoy (spare ribs) escaped the big win of the third week against the Vikings, but returned to training this week and will play against Green Bay. Before the injury, McCoy was rather inefficient, rushing 16 times for 61 yards (3.8 YPC) without catching five balls for 28 yards. Chris Ivory did not do better with a 25-66-2.6-1 line. The offensive line of the Bills is just not very good, content with the 29th place in DVOA. The Packers gave the 13th smallest point of fantasy to a running back. The Bills are important outsiders as 10-point dogs. Nobody is expecting a repeat of last week. Buffalo is likely to go into Pass-Happy mode, the way back quite early in the second half of it. It's hard to trust McCoy, 30.

LARGE RECEIVER

Beginning of the week: Sterling Shepard vs. saints: WR45 in the semifinals of the season, Shepard scored his first touchdown last week against the Texans, getting 6 of 7 targets for 80 yards. And with Evan Engram suffering from a sprained MCL in this case, Shepard's role is expected to increase considerably, as TE-Rhett Ellison, who is a replacement, is not really a smuggler. It should be Odell Beckham, Shepard and Saquon Barkley who do the vast majority of heavy work while Engram is out. Shepard is a solid WR2 at the head of this dream match against New Orleans. The Saints have allowed – by a wide margin – the most fantastic to give points to the receivers and are the last dead in DVOA. They also lost the starting slot CB Patrick Robinson with broken ankle. Shepard made more than 67% of his outings and Robinson was the Saints' best turn so far, allowing just four passes for 37 yards in his coverage. Saints-Giants has the fourth highest total of the week with 50.5 points. This is one of the best clashes that Shepard will see all year.

departures

Allen Robinson vs Bucs: Just behind Shepard, in the fantastic points, Robinson is the current WR46 in half-PPR. He sees the targets, since Robinson is 16th among all the greats with 28 looks. But Robinson has not yet scored and was limited to a 3-50 day against Patrick Peterson and his team last week. Robinson was also held in check by his own quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky, who is one of the least accurate football smugglers. This game, however, is very well formed so that this combo makes at least noise. The Bucs are dashed into the air, yielding the second highest number of fantastic points to the receivers and ranking 27th in DVOA. Tampa Bay is on a short week traveling to Chicago, and just 30 points behind the Steelers. Robinson has a good shot at scoring his first TD Bears.

Randall Cobb vs. Bills: Cobb exploded for a career game against the Bears in the first week with a 9-142-1 win, but it's been a nightmare for him since then. Cobb went 4-30-0 on six targets against Minnesota in Week 2 before turning the 4-23-0 line on 11 targets last week against Washington while losing a fumble. Cobb is still getting some heavy looks from Aaron Rodgers, but we're going to have to play games with him. This profile is pretty good for Cobb. With White Tre'Davious likely to squat on Davante Adams a good part of it, Cobb represents the attention of Rodgers. Last week, Vikings slot machine player Adam Thielen was targeted 19 times. Buffalo is 22nd in defensive-defensive DVOA and smack-dab in the middle in fantastic points given to the big-points. Cobb is back on the WR3 radar with benefits for a lot more. The Green Bay team's total score of 27.5 points is tied with the fifth highest for Week 4.

Rashard Higgins at Raiders: Higgins turned 14 targets into a 9-117-0 pedestrian line as the Browns' No. 3 catcher. He participated in just over 67% of offensive shots. Higgins is probably not on many fantasy boards at 10 and 12 teams, but he needs to be closely watched and worth adding if the owners have a place. Higgins was clearly the favorite target of Baker Mayfield at training camp and preseason. Higgins caught eight balls for 113 yards. Even on Hard Knocks, it was obvious that Mayfield and Higgins had a relationship. The duo could not ask much better for the configuration of week 4. The Raiders have awarded the seventh highest number of fantastic points and the fourth highest number of yards to the receivers. Oakland is also 31st in defensive DVOA and gets zero shots on quarterbacks. There are worse WR4 throws than Higgins.

Jordy Nelson vs Browns: Before last week's explosion against the Dolphins, Nelson scored 5 out of 8 targets for only 53 yards. Il a ensuite tourné ses huitièmes matchs de la troisième semaine dans une ligne de 6-173-1, marquant ainsi lors de l’ouverture et affichant 139 de ses verges dans la première moitié du premier quart. N&#39;achetant pas totalement Nelson tout à coup en revenant sur la carte WR3. On parlait de «chute» dans la plupart des ligues il y a une semaine. Les Raiders ont été terribles dans les deuxièmes parties de leurs matchs et restent sans victoire alors que les Browns soudainement rajeunis arrivent en ville 10 jours de repos après avoir battu les Jets jeudi soir dernier. Cleveland a joué exceptionnellement bien du côté défensif du ballon, en se plaçant au 5e rang en DVOA (défensive contre la défensive) et en accordant le 12e plus petit nombre de verges par la passe. CB Denzel Ward, Terrance Mitchell et T.J. Carrie ont tous été assez solides en couverture.

Marquise Goodwin chez Chargers: Les 49ers ont juste perdu Jimmy Garoppolo dans une LCA déchirée la semaine dernière et doivent maintenant revenir à C.J. Beathard au centre. Beathard a disputé six matchs la saison dernière et, au cours de ces six matchs, Goodwin a réussi un total de 13 balles pour une moyenne hebdomadaire de 55,8 verges et un touché total. Considéré comme un WR3 haut de gamme en été, ce fut un cauchemar pour les propriétaires de Goodwin. Il a raté la plus grande partie de la première semaine, toute la deuxième semaine, et est revenu la semaine dernière pour marquer un touché, avant de voir Garoppolo blessé. Les Chargers ont accordé le deuxième plus gros touché aux receveurs adverses, mais Goodwin verra une tonne de Casey Hayward et de Trevor Williams à l’extérieur. Il est également impossible de faire confiance à Beathard dans celui-ci sur la route contre une défense meilleure que la moyenne qui a été mise au jour par des délits d’élite. San Francisco ne répond pas à cette qualification.

Keelan Cole vs Jets: Je me suis énervé contre Cole la semaine dernière contre les Titans. Il a vu neuf cibles en bonne santé dans celle-ci mais les a transformées en seulement cinq prises pour 40 verges sans but. Blake Bortles a retrouvé son identité inexacte après une expérience hors du corps contre les Patriots la semaine précédente. Les Jaguars sont de nouveau à la maison dans ce match, mais c’est tellement difficile de se retrouver derrière cette passe avec Leonard Fournette (ischio-jambiers) qui devrait être de retour comme pièce maîtresse. Cela ressemble à un autre jeu épineux entre deux fautes et deux défenses exceptionnelles. Les Jets sont n ° 1 en défensive défensive DVOA. Morris Claiborne a accordé la note de passeur la plus basse (16,8) de sa couverture sur 108 virages qualifiés à Pro Football Focus, tandis que Trumaine Johnson est septième avec 43,5. Jets-Jaguars a le plus bas total de la semaine à 38,5 points. Non merci à quiconque dans ces délits.

Tight end

Début de la semaine: Tyler Eifert chez Falcons: Je voulais une partie d&#39;Eifert la semaine dernière contre la Caroline et il a fini par obtenir huit cibles après avoir vu sept combinés les deux premières semaines. Il a tourné ces huit regards en six prises pour 74 verges tout en jouant un record de 64,6% des prises de la saison. Les Bengals ont peu de retard sur A.J. Green, qui soigne un problème d’aine, s’est tourné vers Tyler Boyd et Giovani Bernard en tant qu’options B et C. Eifert est dans le peloton avec ces deux-là pour les soins secondaires après Green. Cincinnati aura besoin de toutes les mains sur le pont pour rivaliser rapidement avec les Falcons dans leur dôme. Zach Ertz a été ciblé à 10 reprises contre les Falcons au cours de la première semaine, et Ben Watson a amassé six passes pour un total de 71 verges la semaine dernière à Atlanta. Eifert devrait jouer un grand rôle dans la zone rouge avec une bonne chance de trouver de la saleté payante. Il vaut la peine de se lancer comme TE1 plug-and-play dans un match avec un total de 52,5 points.

Départs

Trey Burton vs Bucs: Ce fut un début d’année difficile pour Burton, qui a récolté neuf attrapés pour 91 verges et un touché. Les choses s&#39;améliorent lentement de semaine en semaine pour Burton, marquant lors de la semaine 2, pour ensuite remporter un meilleur temps de la saison de 55 verges dans la troisième semaine. Tampa Bay a permis le plus grand nombre de prises, la plupart des verges, et la plupart des fantaisies indiquent la position. Vance McDonald went 4-112-1 against the Bucs last Monday night, Ertz hung 11-94 on them in Week 2, and Ben Watson caught all four of his targets in Week 1. Perhaps Burton will reward fantasy owners who took the plunge in the early rounds.

Ben Watson at Giants: Watson has seen his targets increase from 4 > 5 > 6 in each consecutive week to open the year and went for a season-best 71 yards last time out against the Falcons. He should have also had a short touchdown in Week 2 against the Browns, but Drew Brees baldy missed him in the end zone. The Giants have played pretty solid on-paper defense agains tight ends, but they’ve faced Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Jason Witten, and Ryan Griffin to this point. Drew Brees is up now, and this game has a 50.5-point total. Fire Watson up where you have him.

Austin Hooper vs. Bengals: Hooper did very little in a prime spot against the Saints last week, nabbing just three balls for 23 yards, though he did secure a two-point conversion in the win. He’s extremely hit or miss. It’s a matter of matchups with Hooper, and this looks like another good one at home against a Bengals defense that has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to the position. The Ravens’ tight end trio of Nick Boyle, Maxx Williams, and Mark Andrews combined for eight catches for 75 yards and one touchdown against Cincy in Week 2 after Jack Doyle (7-60-0) and Eric Ebron (4-51-1) put up big lines in the opener. Bengals-Falcons has a sky-high 52.5-point total.

Sits

George Kittle at Chargers: Fantasy’s overall TE11, Kittle has been inches away from massive stat lines this first month of the season. Things just have not been breaking his way, even if the numbers aren’t bad. But now Kittle has lost his quarterback to a torn ACL and will be catching passes from C.J. Beathard. In five games with Beathard last season, Kittle didn’t score a touchdown and topped 30 yards just once. He’s been much better in Year 2, but it’s real hard to get behind him in this spot with the quarterback downgrade and against Derwin James and the Chargers’ defense that is allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends. This unit stamped out Travis Kelce (1-6-0) in Week 1 while Kelce has since gone off for back-to-back 100-yard games.

Ricky Seals-Jones vs. Seahawks: Seals-Jones saw his fewest targets of the season last week in the loss to the Bears but happened one of the three for a 35-yard touchdown. He had seen six targets in each of the first two games but amassed 36 total yards on them. I’m not falling for the touchdown that propelled him to a decent fantasy afternoon. Josh Rosen figures to be an upgrade for the Arizona pass offense, but not enough of one from the outset to want to go in on RSJ. Seattle allowed a touchdown to Trey Burton in Week 2, but has otherwise handled tight ends well. Plus, this game has the second-lowest total of the week at 39 points.

Dallas Goedert at Titans: After playing just 34 total snaps Weeks 1-2, Goedert made the start for the shorthanded Eagles last week against the Colts and played 55-of-82 snaps while nabbing all seven of his targets for 73 yards and a score. He was the overall TE2 of Week 3 behind Vance McDonald. Goedert was surely picked up in plenty of leagues at such a shallow fantasy position, but I want to see it again before trusting him as a starter. The Eagles were so deathly short on bodies last week, leading to Goedert having to play more snaps. Alshon Jeffery is back practicing in full and looks poised to make his season debut, while Jordan Matthews should also be in better football shape after a full two weeks of practice. Goedert has big bust potential for anyone looking to use him as a streamer against a Titans defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to the position.
