Wayne Gallman is stepping into the ideal situation, as the Giants have afforded Saquon Barkley the No. 2 ranked Run Blocking Efficiency thus far. He is a strong candidate to smash value, making him a staple lineup maker for your DFS cash team.

Will Dissly has been efficient across the board, as evidenced by his No. 1 ranked Production Premium. He has a cupcake matchup with the Cardinals this week, who are ceding the most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. A Wilson-Lockett-Dissly stack could be the nuts this week.

With the Week 4 main slate featuring tighter pricing, advanced stats and metrics point to a few distinct edges. After a breakout performance for 39.2 DK points, Daniel Jones saw his salary increase by a mere $300 ahead of Week 4.

Priced like a time-share back, Marlon Mack quietly continues to dominate opportunities in Indianapolis. Entering Week 3 as a game-time decision, Mack still racked up 16 carries on a 62-percent snap share.

Adam Thielen faces an uphill battle to maintain his current pace of production. Through three weeks he’s thrived off unsustainable efficiency and touchdowns. When you factor in Thielen’s average Weekly Volatility mark (8.97) over the past three seasons it becomes clear he’s a screaming sell-high in redraft leagues.

Mike Williams truthers rejoice, he looks primed for a fantasy outburst. He played 100-percent of the snaps in Week 3 and doubled the number of routes he ran from Week 1 (21-42). The Chargers rank No. 7 in pass plays per game and Williams is averaging a healthy 19.6 YPR, among the best in the league (No. 11).

According to the offseason coaching narrative, Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers were going to light the turf on fire. Rodgers’ 841 (No. 17 among qualified quarterbacks) yards of Attempt Distance, negative-15.4 (No. 25) Production Premium and 13.5 (No. 22) Fantasy Points Per Game say otherwise.

The Seahawks have a negative-5.54 (No. 22) Game-Script that should lead to more opportunities for C.J. Prosise. Combine that with Chris Carson’s fumbling issues, and a healthy Rashaad Penny in Week 4, and Carson’s floor/ceiling drops.

Recent usage points to Nick Chubb as a strong buy low in fantasy football. Heading into Week 3, Freddie Kitchens spoke on involving Chubb more in all phases of the game. Living up to that promise, he played on 97-percent of the snaps and handled 100-percent of the running back opportunities against the Rams.

While most believe Aaron Jones deserves the starting running back job in Green Bay, Jamaal Williams has actually performed slightly better when on the field this year. Williams’ +8.6 (No. 22) Production Premium and 39.4-percent (No. 6) Juke Rate both rank ahead of Jones.

Darrel Williams’ 9.3-percent (68th-percentile) College Target Share is a signal that he will be able to contribute as more than a between-the-tackles grinder. In a small sample of touches, he has produced 1.01 (No. 36) Fantasy Points per Opportunity. That mark more than betters Darwin Thompson’s 0.37 (No. 82) Fantasy Points per Opportunity.

Rex Burkhead is not seeing as much volume as he would need to be a consistent week to week option. Though there will be weeks like Week 3, when one or more members of the regular running back rotation are out and the usage becomes more predictable. In those situations, the value of touches in this offense makes Burkhead a plug-and-play RB2.

With the Seattle defense getting burned week in and week out, Pete Carroll and Schottenheimer’s best laid plans often go awry and lead to Wilson having to do it all and save the day. And Lockett is benefiting. He doesn’t have to be as efficient as last year if his volume is going to see this much of an uptick.

Daniel Jones needed this confidence-building comeback win today because he’s got Washington, Minnesota, and New England the next three weeks, and it’s doubtful Saquon Barkley will be available for any of those contests.

The Cleveland offense has struggled through the season’s first two weeks. Still, that shouldn’t deter us from stashing a player with the raw athleticism that Demetrius Harris possesses. One who was efficient on limited usage playing behind Travis Kelce last year, averaging 13.7 yards on his 12 receptions.

With Kyler Murray locked into his starting role from day one, and Daniel Jones set to start his first game this week, it’s not hard to conclude that Dwayne Haskins’ time will come sooner rather than later. It will be easy to see Washington make the switch to the former Heisman finalist and Rose Bowl MVP if they’re blown out at home against the Bears on Monday Night Football.

With the only running back who was threatening Frank Gore for touches potentially being sidelined, and the Bills facing a Bengals defense that has allowed a league-leading +18.23 fantasy points above league average to opposing running backs.

Throwing Ty Johnson into your weekly lineups given his current price will create the ultimate upside for you should he manage to see a significant increase in touches. He’s an interesting Week 3 tournament play who brings high upside given his cost…

Winning a DFS tournament is going to require some hot takes to hit. What do the advanced metrics say about Miles Sanders or Kyle Allen hot takes this week?

Ekeler is stepping up as well. He is third among backs in Weighted Opportunities (which factors in the value of receptions relative to carries) with 18.9 per game.
