Fitz’s Fantasy Football Week 4 Outlook
Even though the Denver run defense was fricasseed by the Dolphins last week, it’s hard to get excited about starting one of the Bears’ running backs against the Broncos this week. Neither Roschon Johnson nor Khalil Herbert has gotten double-digit carries in a game this season, and the Chicago offense has been a dysfunctional mess. Consider Johnson and Herbert low-end RB3s this week.
Samaje Perine and Elijah Mitchell are viable lineup options this week in deeper leagues. Both figure to get some work regardless of game script, but both have primo matchups against bad opponents and could potentially see a workload spike if their game scripts are especially favorable. Perine’s Broncos are 3.5-point road favorites against the Bears, who have been outscored 106-47 this season and have given up the second-most fantasy points to RBs. Mitchell’s 49ers are 14.5-point home favorites against the Cardinals, who have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to RBs.
