Reviewing the Week 3 lineups, they had some strong calls. Rishard Matthews, T.Y. Hilton, Aaron Rodgers, Devonta Freeman, Kareem Hunt, and Doug Baldwin were the main ones scattered throughout. Week 4 brings us three games off of the table for NFL, as DraftKings eliminated the Sunday Game from the Main Slate. This week is looking at a two tight end strategy, alongside some Cowboys.
Dallas have a top five implied run total, and there should be more than enough to go around for Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot. Zeke is a touchdown favorite at home, and is definitely one of my favorite running backs on the week. The Rams rank 19th against the run, and 6th against the pass, although they haven't faced any passing attacks ranking inside the top half.
The Jets rank 25th against the run, and Leonard Fournette is going to get 20+ touches as road favorites. Fournette has a touchdown in each game this season, and is one of the up an coming workhorse. Below $7,000 is a nice bargain for him this week, and this is a good spot to use him.
Larry Fitzgerald is coming off of a monster game on Monday Night Football, and is the top target guy in Arizona. He gets a strong matchup against San Francisco who rank 18th against WR1s this season. The Cards also have a 25.8 implied total with no real running game to rely on. Carson Palmer and the crew might be able to get things going this week. A.J. Green awoke last week, and is going to be someone to target in these types of matchups. I don't mind making him a priority as my WR1 this week. Jordan Matthews has been around the 3-60-0 line the first few games in Buffalo, and is a dart throw in a game where Buffalo will need to keep pace with this offense.
The two tight end strategy isn't a bad one this week. Charles Clay has seen 19 targets through the first three weeks of the season, and Atlanta is a solid matchup. Evan Engram is going to be used strictly as a pass-catching tight end. The Bucs rank 16th in DVOA against tight ends this season. Cincinnati Bengals are the top defense for me this week, taking on the Browns, so no argument here.
