Quarterbacks Justin Fields FD 6400 DK 5200 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 14.42 DK - 15.11 Fields has now been named the starting quarterback for the rest of the season with the Bears going with the rookie slightly earlier than expected. His first game as a pro was an epic disaster through things did improve with the second go-around in Week 4. He was more efficient, completing 65% of his passes, though it was only on 17 attempts. Fields hasn’t gotten out and run much, with only six attempts and 21 total yards on the ground through two weeks. It will take a lot more than that to be fantasy viable, but there is hope it comes as he gets more comfortable in the offense. Trey Lance FD 6900 DK 5700 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 17.79 DK - 18.48 It sure doesn’t look like Jimmy Garoppolo is going to play in this game so we could get another rookie quarterback under center for Week 5. Lance came in after Jimmy G went down with injury in Week 4 and was better as a fantasy quarterback than a real-life one. He only complete 50% of his passes (9-18), but they went for 157 yards and two touchdowns. It’s hard to get more out of less. And then he went on the ground for 41 yards on seven carries. Heading into Week 5 against the Cardinals, Lance is definitely fantasy-viable, especially at just $5700 on DraftKings. It looks like Teddy Bridgewater has cleared concussion protocol and will be under center for the Broncos on Sunday.   Running Backs Christian McCaffrey FD 10000 DK 8700 Opponent PHIProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 There is increasing optimism that Christian McCaffrey will be able to return this week after missing part of Week 3 and all of Week 4 with a hamstring injury. He is way ahead of timeline if he actually took the field here on Sunday and it would make for a curious fantasy spot. He is coming reasonably priced on DraftKings for full PPR considering he had 17 targets through two weeks and change this season. The Panthers will give him the ball a ton if he can play, but it’s just odd to roster a guy coming off an injury and coming back so soon. We will...

Quarterbacks Daniel Jones FD 7400 DK 6000 Opponent DALProj Points FD - 21.3 DK - 22.06 Don’t look now, but Daniel Jones is fantasy QB7 on the season through the first four weeks. It’s thanks to a couple of things working in the third year’s favor. For starters, he’s increased his accuracy to 67%, up from 61% the last two seasons. And it’s come from actually throwing the ball downfield with more accuracy, ranking third overall in average completed air yards per NFL Next Gen stats. And he also ranks third overall in quarterback rushing yards behind only Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. From a fantasy perspective, Jones is putting it together this season and should be playing from behind against the Cowboys on Sunday. Ryan Tannehill FD 7200 DK 6400 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 20.78 DK - 21.42 Yes, Ryan Tannehill and the Titans lost to the lowly Jets in Week 4, a brutal loss for a team that has stumbled out of the block early. But they draw another easy matchup in Week 5 against the Jags who, unlike the Jets, have been completely terrible on defense this season. Jacksonville ranks 30th in defensive DVOA and dead last against the pass. It sure looks like we can stack Tannehill and Henry (see below) in cash and feel pretty good about it leading into Sunday. Running Backs Derrick Henry FD 10400 DK 9000 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 24.42 DK - 25.83 The usage has been borderline insane the last couple of years and this season is making those years like total child’s play. Through four games Henry has 128 total touches (rushes + targets) which is 36 more than the next-closest guy (Joe Mixon). Basically, Henry has played something like 1.5 more elite touch games than anyone else. It’s nuts. The wheels have to come off at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet. Things are lining up for another million touches in this game and he’s a tough fade, especially on DraftKings ay $9K. Ezekiel Elliott FD 8000 DK 7000 Opponent NYGProj Points FD - 19.15 DK - 20.13 The good news on Zeke is that in a downhill game last week against the Panthers he played 75% of the offensive snaps and put up a whopping 143 yards on 20 carries. He only saw...

Top Tier Targets Abraham Ancer World Golf Ranking (#12) Vegas Odds (22/1) Draftkings ($10,400) FanDuel ($11,800) The top tier is loaded this week but like many(looking at FanShare Sports) I am very high on Abraham Ancer who checks every single box. This is his first start of the fall season but finished up last year with a T9 at the Tour Championship and tallied three Top 10's in his final four events including a huge win at the WGC St. Jude Invitational. In this field, he ranks 11th in ball striking on the back of an elite iron game(10th in SG: APP, 4th in Prox) and putter. It's the putter that really has him stand out above the rest of the top tier for me as he is easily #1 in this tier putting on Bentgrass. Ancer also returns to the Shriners with Top 5 finishes in two of the last three years. All things considered, he is my top overall play this week in all formats and I also like sprinkling some outright bets at that #. Si Woo Kim World Golf Ranking (#44) Vegas Odds (40/1) Draftkings ($9,000) FanDuel ($10,300) It is going to be close between Si Woo and Ancer for top-owned play this week and it's easy to why. Like Ancer, Si Woo comes in with terrific form, especially to...

Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8000 DK 7500 Opponent DENProj Points FD - 21.29 DK - 21.83 While Jackson is likely to play in Week 4, it does look like he is maybe dealing with a minor back issue, possibly stemming from the flip he did in the end zone to cap off the Week 2 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. His 16-31 game against the Lions in Week 3 was anything but efficient, though would have definitely looked better if Marquise Brown hadn’t just flat-out dropped two touchdowns on back-to-back drives earlier in the game. That would have led to an entirely different game script and likely less forced passing situations for Jackson. Regardless if he’s a little banged up here against Denver, I think we can take a wait-and-see approach with rostering him in lineups. There are some minor red flags with this situation. Andy Dalton FD 6200 DK 5300 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Justin Fields FD 6400 DK 5200 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 15.46 DK - 16.16 Andy Dalton is practicing this week meaning he could be ready to get back under center in Week 4 for the Bears. Week 3 was a disaster of the highest order for Chicago with Justin Fields going 6-20 for 68 yards through the air while getting sacked at least a million times. The Bears are shifting play-calling away from Matt Nagy which I guess could help some, but this is a rough situation. It looks like Dalton could start, but from a fantasy perspective, this is a stay-away situation. The offense being compromised unfortunately does affect the likes of guys like David Montgomery and Allen Robinson because it is so tough to trust the quarterback play. Running Backs Dalvin Cook FD 9500 DK 8100 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 16.92 DK - 18.33 After sitting out Week 3, it looks like Dalvin Cook is going to be a full-go in Week 4 against the Browns. This one went almost down to the wire last week, pointing to Cook being very close in terms of being able to play then. It isn’t all that surprising that he’ll suit up in this one with a few extra days to get healthy. It isn’t a good matchup against the Browns so I think we can mostly...

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 8500 DK 8000 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 26.65 DK - 27.43 After a couple of mediocre weeks for Allen to start the season, he blew it out of the box in Week 3 against Washington and looked very much like one of the best fantasy (and real-life) quarterbacks in the league again. Allen completed 74% of his passes, something that wasn’t happening in the first couple of games, and finished with 358 yards and four touchdowns. He didn’t need to get out and run as much as the first couple of games, but we know it’s in his bag. This should be a cakewalk for the Bills against the Texans and there is some blowout risk. But frankly, that happened in Week 3 and Allen was still the best quarterback on the week. Jalen Hurts FD 7900 DK 6900 Opponent KCProj Points FD - 22.12 DK - 22.95 I much prefer the DraftKings price here on Hurts going against the Chiefs in a game that’s tied for the highest total (54.5). From a fantasy perspective, Hurts has been solid in two of the first three weeks, ranking as QB8 in DraftKings scoring. He has the second-most quarterback rushing yards on the season with 179 (15th overall in the league) and has gotten into the end zone once as well. This is a fantasy smash spot for Hurts if the Eagles are playing from behind and the damage he does on the ground makes up for some inconsistency through the air. Again, this is more a DraftKings play than anything else, but he has a high floor at $6900. Running Backs Derrick Henry FD 10200 DK 8800 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 23.11 DK - 24.51 This is about as perfect a situation for a running back as you can get. First off, the Jets stink and the Titans are -7.5 road favorites. Second of all, while New York’s defense hasn’t been nearly as bad as the offense, running backs have still been able to put up yards against them because they are mostly running downhill after their team is up early. And then there is Henry who somehow already has 92 touches through the first three weeks. He’s racked up 353 yards and three touchdowns on the ground adding...

Quarterbacks Justin Fields FD 6500 DK 5200 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 19.38 DK - 20.29 Andy Dalton FD 6500 DK 5200 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 There are some big moves at the quarterback position this week, and we have a lot to wade through. The biggest one is the injury to Andy Dalton which will have him missing this week. That’s opening up the chance for the electric Justin Fields to get behind center and flash some of the upside that made him a first-round pick for the Bears. He is their quarterback of the future and that should start here in Week 3 against the Browns. Filling in for the injured Dalton in Week 3, Fields showed some of why he’s a fantasy viable QB right now and could even be a cash game play. He wasn’t so accurate 6-13 for 60 yards through the air, but he took off 10 times on the ground and totaled 31 yards. A week of first-team snaps and a very low $5200 price tag on DraftKings has him totally in the cash game mix for his first start. Jacoby Brissett FD 6700 DK 4900 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 13.75 DK - 14.44 Tua Tagovailoa FD 6700 DK 5300 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Tua Tagovailoa was diagnosed with broken ribs and will sit out this game and possibly more for the Dolphins. It’s a tough, early-season blow for the Fins who will now rely on Jacoby Brissett under center. The latter is an NFL veteran at this point which might not be the worst thing for Miami and he does have a week under center with the first team leading into this one. He came in and threw 40 passes in Week 2 when Tua went down early, completing 24 for *just* 169 yards. He also scrambled five times for 21 yards. At sub-$5K you can take a chance on him on DraftKings and Miami will get Will Fuller back in the mix this week which should bolster the passing attack. Carson Wentz FD 7000 DK 5700 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 18.11 DK - 18.86 Jacob Eason FD 6500 DK 4000 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Carson Went has not one, but two sprained ankles....
