Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 4

Through the first three weeks of the season, the league's top cornerbacks, like Jalen Ramsey, Jaire Alexander and Trevon Diggs, have held receivers in check for the most part. On the other end of things, cornerbacks like Eli Apple, Benjamin St-Juste and Vernon Hargreaves have emerged as guys opposing quarterbacks will likely target on a […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

We're going to keep this train moving here on to Week 4. Maybe this is just me, but I'm constantly torn in both directions once the NFL season starts. On one hand, I can't get enough of it and I can't wait until next Sunday. On the other hand, I want it to slow down […]

Week 4 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a week for the kickers! We saw Justin Tucker make the longest kick in the history of the NFL and for a game-winner, no less. 66 yards off the crossbar, just insane. If that wasn't enough, Mason Crosby gave us another game-winner. This time from 51 yards out. Kickers, truly are the perfect example […]

While Derrick Henry and Aaron Jones were the dominant fantasy forces in Week 2, the quarterbacks returned to prominence in Week 3. After getting off to a slow start, Josh Allen showed up to play against the Washington Football Team to finish as the top-scoring DFS option. Justin Herbert, Matthew Stafford, and Tom Brady occupied the […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

As good as football has been this young season, the game is also laughable. The league wants these referees to call these ticky-tacky penalties. On the winning touchdown drive for the Chargers, they had a 4th-and-9 from the Chiefs 35 when Justin Herbert's pass was incomplete. But of course, a pass interference was called. It […]

Smart Dynasty Early-Season Stashes

It would be easy to forget about waivers in dynasty leagues. Most of the promising young players are already rostered and some dynasty leagues are deep enough that there isn't anybody worth scooping up unless you want to take a flier on Kerryon Johnson becoming relevant again. Even for teams in win-now mode, there are […]

Saints Defense A Starting Option Against Giants

The New Orleans Saints defense could be in line for another productive game against the Giants in Week 4. New Orleans is coming off of a two-sack, three-interception performance against Mac Jones and the Patriots, scoring one touchdown in the process. The Saints defense- which has racked up the eighth-most quarterback pressures this season, will […]

Aldrick Rosas Could Have Solid Day Against Giants

New Orleans Saints kicker Aldrick Rosas will take on his former team, the Giants, in Week 4. Rosas is 1-for-3 on field goals and a perfect 10-for-10 on extra points through three weeks, though he is coming off a game where he missed both field goals he attempted. The veteran placekicker will look to bounce […]

Juwan Johnson Could Find The End Zone In Week 4

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has a good chance of scoring a touchdown against the Giants in Week 4. Johnson has been a situational player this season, as he's played less than 20 percent of the snaps in two out of three weeks so far. However, we saw what he's fully capable of […]

Adam Trautman Draws Favorable Matchup Against Giants

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman gets a favorable matchup against the Giants in Week 4. Trautman has led the Saints position group in snaps each week, playing a season-high 82 percent in Weeks 1 and 3. The Giants defense has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Despite Trautman's […]

Kenny Stills Could Have Sneaky Upside Against Giants

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kenny Stills could have flex appeal in deeper leagues in Week 4 against the Giants. Stills played the second-highest percentage of snaps among Saints' receivers, catching one of three targets for 17 yards after being added to the active roster before the game against the Patriots. The veteran wideout was […]

Deonte Harris A Risky Play In Week 4

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris is a boom/bust option heading into Week 4 against the Giants. Harris connected with Jameis Winston on a 55-yard score in Week 1, but the two have yet to hit on a big play since. The speedy wideout is tied for third on the team with seven targets, […]

Marquez Callaway A Low-End Flex Against Giants

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway will look to build off of his best performance of the season in Week 4 against the Giants. Callaway's target numbers have increased each week, culminating in a 4-41-1 line in Week 3 against the Patriots. The 23-year-old has been the most targeted wideout in the Saints' offense, […]

Tony Jones Jr. Off The Fantasy Radar In Week 4

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. is off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Giants. Jones burst onto the scene in Week 1, handling 12 touches and seemingly stepping into the Latavius Murray role in the New Orleans offense. Since that point, the rookie has seen his snap […]

Alvin Kamara A Strong Play Against Giants

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara draws a favorable matchup against the Giants in Week 4. Kamara has been the engine of the Saints offense through three weeks, handling 23 or more touches while playing an average of 80 percent of the offensive snaps, which ranks second in the NFL. New Orleans' offense has […]

Jameis Winston Tough To Trust In Week 4

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston will take on the Giants in Week 4. Winston has thrown for 387 yards with seven touchdowns, two interceptions, and a rushing score through three weeks of play, though five of those passing scores came in a very efficient Week 1 effort. Also, it's become clear that head coach […]

Re-Drafting 2021: What Changes Would We Make?

It's three weeks into the season, so we've started to notice some trends that have emerged. Some players have more usage than we expected. Some offenses are playing at a faster pace. Some teams look utterly lost. So, if we could do it all over again, what would we do differently? That's the basic question […]

Offensive Outliers From Week 3 - Coaching Matters

We now enter the second week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Something or Nothing?

Week 3 of the NFL season is now in the books and while we saw many familiar names register top-fantasy performances there were a few surprises. The quarterback position was fairly stable with Josh Allen coming in as QB-1 on the week off a four-touchdown performance. Justin Herbert had his own four-touchdown game against the […]
