NFL DFS - Defenses to Feast On in Week 4

Nothing is more important than matchup analysis when it comes to fantasy football.

Golden Tate Not A Good Fantasy Option Versus Rams

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate has struggled thus far in 2020 and faces another tough matchup this week in Los Angeles. Tate has five catches in each of his two games, but is yet to eclipse 47 yards in a game and has not found the end zone. His ceiling in fantasy is […]

Darius Slayton Looking To Rebound Versus Rams

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has had two disappointing performances in a row after a massive game and will now face another tough test in a road matchup with the Rams. Slayton exploded on for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 but has just six total catches since without a touchdown […]

Devonta Freeman Still Finding His Footing With Giants

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman had just 10 yards on five carries in his team debut last week but will look to bounce back in a tough matchup with the Rams.

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis has not had much success on the ground this season and is not currently an option in fantasy.

Daniel Jones Not A Starting Option In Week 4

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled thus far in 2020 and faces another tough test in Week 4 at the Rams.

Jones only threw for 179 yards […]

Evan Engram A Low-End TE1 Versus Rams

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been disappointing through three games in 2020, but fantasy managers can start Engram in a good matchup with the Rams.
