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 […]

Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams Likely Out

Cleveland Browns starting cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) are both unlikely to play against the Ravens. With the team also potentially missing safety Morgan Burnett (quad), among others in Week 4, the door is open for an uptick in production from quarterback Lamar Jackson, wide receiver Marquise Brown, and possibly tight end […]

Browns Defense in a Tough Spot in Week 4

The Cleveland Browns Defense draws a tough road matchup against a red-hot Baltimore Ravens offense in Week 4.

Demetrius Harris a TE3 in Week 4

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris will continue to operate as the team's lead tight end while David Njoku heals from a broken wrist. Harris will suit up against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on the road in Week 4. Baltimore has been tough on enemy tight ends this season, allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per […]

Jarvis Landry a Weak Flex Option in Week 4

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is off to a slow start in the 2019 season. Landry has caught just 10 passes for 161 yards and no scores through three weeks. The veteran slot receiver has seen his target numbers drop with Odell Beckham Jr in town. The poor performance of the Cleveland offense hasn't […]

Odell Beckham Jr. a Solid WR1 in Week 4

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has caught at least six passes in each of his first three games this season while also reaching at least 56 receiving yards in each contest. He will look to keep those streaks alive when he takes on the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. Baltimore has struggled […]

Rashard Higgins, Denzel Ward Questionable

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) and cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) are all listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Ravens. None of them practiced on Friday, so they are all looking to be on the wrong side of questionable for now. If Higgins misses the game, Damion Ratley […]

Nick Chubb a Solid RB1 in Week 4

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is coming off his most productive rushing game of the season in Week 3. Chubb racked up 96 yards on the ground in a 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams while handling all of the running back touches for his team. Chubb will look to stay productive in […]

Baker Mayfield a Low-End QB2 in Week 4

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will be looking to shake off a slow start to the season when he faces off against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on the road in Week 4. Mayfield has completed 62 of his 109 passes for 805 yards, three touchdowns, and five interceptions through the first three games of the […]

Rashard Higgins, Denzel Ward Not Practicing

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) and cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. Even if Higgins winds up playing, he's behind Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry and Damion Ratley on the depth chart and isn't worth using in fantasy lineups. If both Ward and Williams are absent […]

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (wrist) will not have surgery on his broken wrist, according to what a league source told Cleveland.com on Tuesday.

Daniel Jones. That's where this article will begin and end.

Of course, Giants fans know they can't have […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

The better part of three weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

There are millions of fantasy football owners who probably need a tight end this week, one that can somehow replace one of the best tight ends in the NFL.

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 4

Three weeks into the season we can start to finally suss out the difference between flukes and trends. If a player has one or two unexpectedly great games to start the year, that could be a coincidence. If a player has three straight? That's a sign they're balling capabilities ought to be taken seriously. And […]
