4 days agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver
Keon Coleman saw just one target on Monday Night Football, but he made the most of it. The rookie scored his first NFL touchdown on a 24-yard catch midway through the second quarter. That was
Josh Allen's second passing touchdown of the night and the Bills' third score overall. Head coach Sean McDermott said postgame that Coleman was benched in the first quarter due to an issue of being on time. By halftime, the Bills built a 27-point lead, and Coleman did not need to be involved any further to secure the victory.
James Cook,
Khalil Shakir, and
Dalton Kincaid are ahead of Coleman in the offensive pecking order, keeping Coleman as a boom/bust wide receiver in Week 4 against Baltimore.

Khalil Shakir caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in a blowout victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Quarterback
Josh Allen looked for the slot receiver early in the game and later connected with him on a 27-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown on the Bills' fourth drive. All of Shakir's production came in the first half. With a 27-point halftime lead, the Bills didn't need to throw much in the second half. Shakir has cemented himself as Allen's top option in the passing game and will be a WR3 when the Bills travel to Baltimore in Week 4.

James Cook rushed the football 11 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 48 yards in the team's 47-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Bills opened the game throwing more often than running, although Cook finished the first drive with his touchdown. Due to another blowout win, Cook only touched the ball once in the fourth quarter. Cook's 87 total yards were his fewest of the young season, but he still managed to end the week as an RB1 in PPR formats. With his work on the ground and through the air, the soon-to-be 25-year-old will remain an RB1 against a tough Baltimore defense in Week 4.

Josh Allen threw for 263 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also added 44 yards on the ground on six carries. A large chunk of his production, including all of his touchdowns, came in the first half. The Bills jumped out to a 27-point halftime lead, scoring a touchdown on all five of their drives in the first half. Allen found
Dalton Kincaid,
Khalil Shakir,
Keon Coleman, and
Ty Johnson for his touchdown passes. Even with the blowout, Allen finished as the QB1 for the week. The Bills travel to Baltimore in Week 4.

4 days agoWashington Commanders rookie wide receiver
Luke McCaffrey bounced back in a big way on Monday night. After catching three passes for 18 yards in his NFL debut, the Rice product was held out of the box score last weekend. However, on Monday, McCaffrey caught all three of his targets for 44 yards, good for second-most among Washington pass catchers. His best play of the night came on a fourth down where Washington needed just two yards but the 23-year-old went on to pick up 30 and set up their first score of the evening. This was an excellent rebound game for the young wideout as he continues establishing himself as the No.2 receiver in this offense. For now, McCaffrey remains an excellent stash candidate and is a name to keep a close eye on going forward as he continues to build a connection with his fellow rookie QB.

4 days agoCincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Andrei Iosivas had a stellar showing in Monday's loss to the Commanders. With
Tee Higgins (hamstring) back in the lineup, most assumed Iosivas would cool off after scoring twice in the Week 2 clash with the Chiefs. However, that didn't happen, with the wideout ending the evening by amassing five receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. It's reasonable to assume Higgins will get more involved in the Bengals' upcoming matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Still, Iosivas deserves at least a flex spot in fantasy lineups in Week 4 based on his last two performances.

4 days agoWashington Commanders tight end
Zach Ertz led the team with five receptions in their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. The veteran tight end was given many looks during crunch time and was Jayden Daniel's safety net in the middle of the field. The 33-year-old has emerged as the No.2 pass-catcher in the first three weeks in this offense and has seen at least four targets in every game. Ertz should be viewed as a safe low-end TE1 going forward as he has built a strong connection with his rookie QB and should always be in line for consistent targets given the uncertainty at wide receiver behind
Terry McLaurin. Ertz should be a priority waiver-add if you need a tight end and should be started in all standard formats next week in Arizona.

4 days agoWashington Commanders wide receiver
Terry McLaurin led the team in receiving with 100 yards and a score. He caught four of his six targets. After tallying only 39 receiving yards through the opening two weeks, McLaurin had a much-needed breakout game on Monday night. This was highlighted by an impressive 27-yard TD catch, which eventually became the game-winner. Quarterback
Jayden Daniels took a significant step forward in his development as a passer on Monday, which suggests that McLaurin could be in store for even bigger games going forward. He is a must-start WR2 next weekend as he will face the Arizona Cardinals in what should be another high-scoring affair.

4 days agoWashington Commanders running back
Brian Robinson Jr. ran for 33 yards and a score on 16 carries in their victory on Monday evening against the Cincinnati Bengals. He caught his lone target for four yards through the air. After posting a career-high in rushing yards last week, Robinson saw a steep drop in production but finished with a solid fantasy game, thanks to the goal line score in the first quarter.
Jayden Daniels took a significant step in his development this evening as he threw for his first and second career touchdown passes while only logging two incompletions, which took some work off Robinson. Fantasy managers should still expect Robinson to be a serviceable RB2 on an offense that continues to improve weekly. He is a solid start in all formats against the Arizona Cardinals next week.

4 days agoCincinnati Bengals running back
Zack Moss played well in Monday's loss to the Commanders. The 26-year-old finished the night with 12 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown, finding the end zone off a one-yard carry late in the contest. He also got involved as a pass-catcher, bringing in five of his six targets for 39 yards. While
Chase Brown was more involved than in the first two games of the season, ending with seven touches for 62 yards, it's clear Moss is the preferred option out of the backfield. With two touchdowns in the Bengals' first three games of the 2024-25 campaign, Moss remains a starting fantasy option in Week 4 versus the Carolina Panthers.

4 days agoCincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Tee Higgins (hamstring) made his 2024-25 debut on Monday night versus the Commanders. The wideout missed the team's first two games because of a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, his presence didn't help, with the Bengals remaining without a win after three weeks. Higgins didn't look horrible on Monday night, catching three passes (six targets) for 39 yards. Understandably, fantasy managers were still hoping for more. But Higgins has a favorable matchup against the Panthers on the horizon in Week 4, so he warrants a spot in the starting lineup in any fantasy format.

4 days agoCincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Ja'Marr Chase caught six of his seven targets for 118 yards in Monday's loss to the Commanders. The former LSU Tiger also had two touchdown grabs, finding the end zone off a 41-yard toss from
Joe Burrow early in the first quarter before scoring again in the fourth. Unfortunately, the Bengals remain winless, with the team losing their third contest of the season. But the Cincinnati offense is clicking, with Chase finally having a potent fantasy outing after subpar showings in the last two games. As always, keep the 24-year-old in the starting lineup when the Bengals meet the Panthers in Week 4.

Joe Burrow had a stellar showing in Monday's meeting with the Washington Commanders. The signal-caller finished this one with 324 yards and three touchdowns off 29-for-38 passing. He added one carry for four yards. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, as the Bengals will now fall to 0-3 on the year. After a quality performance in Week 2 in the narrow loss to the Chiefs, Burrow kept it going, giving fantasy managers reason to remain optimistic heading into Week 4 versus former Bengals starter
Andy Dalton and the Carolina Panthers. Keep Burrow rolling in all fantasy formats.

4 days agoThe Baltimore Ravens signed free-agent defensive back Yannick Ngakoue, who last played for the Ravens in 2020, on Monday to give them extra pass-rush help, according to a source. The 29-year-old pass-rusher has 69 career NFL sacks with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears and the Ravens. He will begin on Baltimore's practice squad but should eventually join the active roster. Ngakoue was a Pro Bowler in his second year in the league in 2017, when he had a career-high 12 sacks, 30 tackles (24 solo) and a league-leading six forced fumbles in 16 games played. In 13 contests with the Bears last year, Ngakoue had 22 tackles (13 solo), four sacks, six tackles for loss and seven QB hits. In nine games for Baltimore back in 2020, he had 11 solo tackles and three sacks.
