Fantasy Football: Sit/Start lineup tips for Week 16 of the NFL season
Foreman played 14 snaps last week and is also a bench candidate against what's suddenly become the stingiest run defense in the NFL. The Texans have ceded the most fantasy points to running backs and the second-most rushing touchdowns (19) this season. But that changes this week against a pass-funnel Dolphins defense allowing the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Hollywood hasn't reached 50 yards or 8.0 fantasy points (0.5 PPR) since returning despite seeing eight targets in all three games. The Colts have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to wideouts this season, so Palmer is a shaky fantasy start Monday night.

Perhaps you’ll add a player to your fantasy bench as depth, but won't deploy him this week. WR Kalif Raymond vs. MiamiYep, we’re going back to the Raymond play. Yes, Amon-Ra St. Brown's absence did help in two of those games, but the Sun God returned last week and Raymond was still active. But the Ravens basically view Likely as a receiver, a desperately-needed player in a room that’s lacking healthy options. Likely is coming off his best game (6-77-1) and a seasonal high for snaps (67 percent) and routes (30).
wftv.comFantasy Football Week 4: Bold predictions
Our analysts reveal their boldest fantasy predictions for Week 4. This week, Chicago's ridiculous offense gets a date with the Giants D, a group that's been horrendous against the run. Herbert will see all the touches he can possibly handle this week; he's about to deliver an easy top-five positional finish. It doesn't always work out the way matchups appear, but this certainly sets up for a Jeudy smash week. In a surprisingly high-scoring fantasy game script, I see Mariota turning in a top-five quarterback performance.
wftv.comFantasy Football Six-Pack: One number explains how Lamar Jackson is breaking the game
He's averaged a career-best 249.7 yards per game through the air and 81.0 on the ground. Jackson leads the NFL in both passer rating (119.0) and yards per carry (9.3), which is simply ridiculous. CEH hasn't been a fantasy problem, obviously, as he's made three house calls and caught 12 passes. He's played at least 45 snaps in every game and he actually leads all Saints receivers in routes run. 11 - This is the total number of receptions by all Bears wide receivers for the season, an objectively hilarious number.
wftv.comFantasy Football Flashback: Lamar Jackson leads Week 3's most reliable players
I'm excited to bring you the inaugural edition of the Fantasy Football Flashback, where we'll recap the top-10 scoring leaders on Yahoo Fantasy from the previous week. 5: Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills, 26.70The Bills offense was anything but smooth in a narrow loss to the Dolphins, but Allen was a fantasy star nonetheless. Allen sits second behind Jackson in total fantasy points this season, which is unsurprising for someone who was the first QB selected in most drafts. This performance didn’t come out of nowhere, as Hollins caught five passes for 66 yards in Week 2. These players brought home the wins for fantasy managers in Week 3!
wftv.comFantasy Football Waiver Wire, Week 4: Last call on Khalil Herbert and other top pickups
We can't promise to fix all your fantasy issues, but we can offer a few potentially useful adds ahead of Week 4. Below you'll find a collection of approved pickups, all of them available in at least 50 percent of Yahoo leagues. Priority adds at running backKhalil Herbert, Chicago Bears (50% rostered)If Herbert happens to remain unattached in your league, it's time to finally correct that oversight. Last season, during a four-game stretch in which Montgomery was sidelined, Herbert averaged 97 scrimmage yards and 22 touches per week. Additional wide receivers to consider: Mack Hollins (we're three games into his season and he's already reached a career-high in receiving yards; he's no more than the No.

Monty managers feel the pain, and Herbert managers likely didn't benefit this week, though good things could be coming down the line. But his 107 total yards and two touchdowns were surely tilting to D'Andre Swift managers. The Jets held him to 38 total yards and no touchdowns on 15 touches. Ja'Marr Chase posted a touchdown at the Jets, but he had just 27 total yards and lost a fumble. Kirk Cousins threw touchdown passes to Adam Thielen (a one-yarder, of course) and to a charitably-uncovered K.J.
wftv.comFantasy Football: Early waiver wire pickups for Week 4
It's never too early to look toward your next matchup and a chance to bolster your fantasy football lineups. Here are two options to consider on the waiver wire ahead of Week 4. Herbert will likely be the top pickup of the week — don't leave him on the waiver wire. Mattison took over for Cook and rushed seven times for 28 yards and a strong touchdown run. We're not sure if Mattison will miss time or be limited if he can suit up in Week 4, so Mattison should be widely rostered across fantasy leagues.

Now he gets a Houston defense that's allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs since the beginning of last season and 4.7 YPC this year. Bad weather contributed in Week 1, but Chicago is still by far the run-heaviest team in football, and this week the Bears are home favorites. The rookie has impressed and gets a Bears run defense this week that ranks 27th in DVOA, so he's undervalued in DFS. Gabriel Davis could return this week, but Diggs looks like a weekly top-three fantasy WR regardless in the pass-heaviest offense in football. The impressive rookie has run nearly 50% of his routes from the slot this season, where the Bengals have ceded the third-most fantasy points (conversely, Cincinnati has allowed the fewest fantasy points to outside receivers).
