20	Teddy Bridgewater	CAR	vs. ARI	17	30	20.2	1.1	15.3

Joe Burrow (CIN)
Burrow has thrown the ball 105 times over the past two weeks. With that workload, Burrow instantly becomes a borderline QB1 by default. While his offensive line hasn’t been able to slow down anyone, which means Burrow’s getting knocked around like nobody’s business, he’s still succeeding and has thrown five touchdowns to zero interceptions the last two weeks. In this matchup against the Jaguars defense that is currently allowing the 6th most points to opposing QBs, Burrow’s a low-end QB1 this week. Fire him up with confidence.

Ryan Fitzpatrick (MIA)
Fitzpatrick turned out to be a fine streaming option last week for fantasy managers and this might be another game that you can plug him into your lineup if you need a QB. The Seahawks are going to go up big in this one, which should force Fitzpatrick to throw the ball a ton. Fitzpatrick could easily finish in the top-12 this week based on pure volume. He’s worth looking at in 1QB leagues.

50	J.D. McKissic	WAS	vs. BAL	43	64	52.1	4.1	4.9

Kenyan Drake (ARI)
Drake has gotten off to a slow start this season in Arizona, but that could all change with this matchup. The Panthers are currently the second easiest matchup for opposing fantasy RBs and they’re allowing an average of 32.2 fantasy points. This is a “get right” game for Drake and he should be viewed as a mid-range RB1 this week. Fire him up with confidence.

Darrell Henderson (LAR)
Do you have Henderson on your roster? Play him this week. The Giants are allowing 23.3 fantasy points on average to opposing RBs and the Rams are heavy favorites in this matchup. Henderson should easily see 15+ carries this week and he’s been playing great football recently. He’s a high-end RB2 this week with tremendous upside.

Myles Gaskin (MIA)
Gaskin has turned into a solid contributor for fantasy purposes over the last few weeks, but he has a capped ceiling if he’s not going to get the goal line work. Right now, Howard is achieving new levels of inefficiency on the ground, but he’s finding the end zone and performing well in the role that he’s asked to fill on this team. Gaskin’s a low-end RB3 in this matchup, but there’s not necessarily a path for him to finish much higher than that.

50	Curtis Samuel	CAR	vs. ARI	38	62	51.4	4	8.3

D.K. Metcalf (SEA)
Metcalf was the WR19 last week with 17.0 Half PPR points, but he should have had much more than that. Metcalf had the ball punched out of his hand inches away from crossing the end zone on a big play, which would have vaulted him up into top-5 for the week. He’s an every week must-start play with Wilson lighting up the NFL and should be viewed as a low-end WR1 in this matchup.

D.J. Moore (CAR)
Moore is still towards the top of the league when it comes to targets, but he simply hasn’t been able to do much with them this year. This is a game where Carolina should have to throw the ball quite a bit yet again, which is good for Moore’s fantasy outlook. He should soak up targets yet again and be a safe WR2 option in Full PPR leagues.

Tyler Boyd (CIN)
Boyd had a tough matchup last week, but he was able to put up a fantastic fantasy day by going for 10-125-0 on 13 targets against the Eagles. He’s a consistent low-end WR2 moving forward and he could explode in this matchup lining up across from D.J. Hayden, who is currently getting torched in coverage this season.

20	Drew Sample	CIN	vs. JAC	16	31	21.2	2.8	6.2

T.J. Hockenson (DET)
Hockenson has been a steady fantasy option through the first three weeks of the season. He’s stepping up as the second option in this offense behind Golladay and should be viewed as a low-end TE1 every single week moving forward. His ceiling may be limited in this matchup against the Saints, but he’s shown next to nothing for you to remove him from your starting lineup.

Dalton Schultz (DAL)
Schultz is involved in an extremely powerful passing attack and he’s seeing enough targets to be considered relevant. However, he’s a middling TE2 each week. He has upside due to the Cowboys offense that he plays in, but there are most likely better options available to you.
