Fantasy Football Matchups to Exploit in Week 4
Fantasy football analyst Ray Garvin breaks down key matchups in Week 4.
Here is my rewrite of the fantasy football matchup analysis:
C.J. Stroud has been throwing the football a lot for the Houston Texans this season - 120 passes through three weeks. That volume has paid off, with Stroud having 794 passing yards, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. The return of Nico Collins to the offense could be huge, as Collins has been a game-changer for Houston in the past. Dallas has struggled against the pass all season, allowing 23.5 fantasy points per game on average to quarterbacks. With Collins back, Stroud could finally have his big breakout performance.
Aaron Jones Sr. has stepped up as the man in the Minnesota Vikings backfield. With Jordan Mason out, Jones has taken over with 52 carries for 203 yards and a TD this season. He has also added 5 catches for 34 yards. Jones has been handling a ton of carries, totaling 90 scrimmage yards in his last two games alone. The Miami Dolphins have been terrible against the run, allowing 29.3 PPR points per game to backs. With Jones getting this workload against that defense, he could be primed for a big RB2 finish.
Jalen Coker has been a bright spot for the Carolina Panthers' offense. In three games, Coker has caught 18 of 22 targets for 222 yards and 2 TDs. However, a quad injury forced him to miss Week 3. If he can get healthy and back to his normal self, the matchup against the Detroit Lions could be a huge opportunity. The Lions have struggled mightily against the pass, allowing 39.7 PPR points per game to receivers. With Coker getting those targets and opportunities, he could be an upside WR2.
Bhayshul Tuten has been a reliable running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. He has 43 carries for 204 yards and 2 TDs, along with 5 receptions for 36 more yards. Tuten has been getting at least 15 touches per game and his rushing totals have been consistent each week. The Bengals have been decent against the run, allowing 4.5 yards per carry and catching 18 of 20 targets. Tuten's workload and consistent production make him a solid RB23 option.
