I know sometimes the bounces don’t go your way. All I can say is STAY THE COURSE, and one day you’ll be receiving similar DMs from total strangers. Shoutout to big bro Matthew Berry who laid the groundwork for me to lead and inspire! No shade whatsoever and big bro knows he’s an icon to me.
David Montgomery can tear a Hammy! Who cares!
The LIONS have no respect to the fantasy football community, fans or Gibbs!
They all lied and are benching the better RB and their first overall pick!

(3.) The Colts may have found their guy in Anthony Richardson. Outside of his size speed and mobility, he’s actually shocked the haters and transformed into a competent pocket passer in just a few short weeks as a pro. He’s still a work in progress, but throws like these are special and that’s talent/arm strength that you can build on. From a fantasy standpoint, he’s offsetting any potential passing issues with his legs. 10 carries for 56 yards and a TD. He’s QB15 even after missing last week and putting up 29.6 fantasy points against the Rams.

(4.) Justin Jefferson “only” had 85 yards receiving, still on an historic pace.
(5.) The Bengals are in a spot of trouble and Derrick Henry ain’t dead yet. As a lifelong diehard Titans fan, it warms my undercarriage to see Derrick Henry doing Derrick Henry things. 22 carries, 122 yards and a TD. Say he’s washed to his face and see how that goes, cowards. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow looks like shit and Tee Higgins is nursing a rib injury, it’s anybody’s guess when this offense will be back to what we’re used to seeing. How long does Zac Taylor roll out a crippled Burrow and continue to let him prolong his injury? Ja’Marr Chase isn’t taking their 1-3 start all that well, seems fussy:

(6.) The Bucs handled the Saints with ease, but Marshon Lattimore still owns Mike Evans. Just 3 catches for 40 yards on Sunday against his bitter rival.

(7.) The Dolphins are human after all, but De’Von Achane might not be. Hopefully you shot your wad on the waiver wire and spent 70% or more of your budget on Achane. He’s has been explosive to the point he can’t be ignored and he only figures to gain more steam from here. 8 carries for 101 yards and 2 more TDs on Sunday. He’s right behind Mostert at RB3 in roughly two weeks of action. While Mostert hadn’t done much to “lose” the job, per se, he did have a rough day. Mostert played in just 43% of the offense’s snaps, had 2 fumbles (1 lost) and only got to 9 yards on 7 carries. It wasn’t a stellar showing for the Fins offense in general but Achane has maximized his opportunities and earned a spot at the table in what should be a timeshare moving forward. But wait…
🔥HOT TAKE: Sell High. Obviously only do so if you need to, but you could flip him for some serious depth at this point. Ultimately, I still think Mostert leads the backfield and Achane has almost definitely peaked. This isn’t to say he won’t be good and heavily involved, but I don’t foresee an average of 24+ FPPG going forward, that’s unsustainable. Besides, Mostert has been extremely good and is still RB2, including a down week 4. All’s I’m saying is if you’re 1-3 or 2-2 and you need a boost, or you need to fill a roster hole, selling high could propel you into contender territory.
(8.) The Eagles remain one of two unbeaten teams because Rivera couldn’t find his meat in crunch time. You’re not allowed to be called “Riverboat Ron” if you can’t find your meat in crunch time. How does he not go for two to try to try and beat the Eagles with zeroes on the clock? With the reputation he has for getting wacky, you simply cannot shrivel up inside of your own pelvis like a receding acorn when you’ve got a legit chance to beat a top-2 team in the league with all the momentum on your side. The fans expect you to be a bad boy, and that was your decision? Scoring after that 2-minute drill only to risk overtime is a waste, I’m disappointed in Ron Rivera, and he is henceforth stripped of his “Riverboat” nickname. Losing on a field goal and missing that opportunity at an upset is poppycock.
(9.) CJ Stroud is the realness. Currently QB10 as a rookie, zero interceptions, and looking all-around like he’s set for stardom. After his week 1 where he didn’t throw a TD in his NFL debut, he’s been lights out since.

(10.) Christian McCaffrey is fantasy royalty. In the rare chance that someone in your league passed on CMC with the first overall pick and tried to get cute with it, this is payback. He’s the #1 overall fantasy performer so far and Sunday’s 4 total TDs helped eclipse the century mark after just 4 weeks. He’s averaging 25.5 FPPG and he’s already over halfway to his TD total from last year when he was RB2. He is very good at football and the 49ers are undefeated with a yuuuge game against the Cowboys coming up this week on Sunday night.
(11.) Mac Jones might wanna go into hiding. You don’t embarrass Bill Belichick and get away with it. Mac Jones sputtered and queefed his way to the worst loss in Bill Belichick’s career. You don’t just do that and live to see another day, I would imagine Mac Jones’s days are numbered (is it Malik Cunningham time in Foxborough?). 12-for-21 passing, 150 yards and 2 INTs. To pile on, Matthew Judon and Christian Gonzalez are out for an unknown period of time with injuries. It might be time to tank and start over at QB.
(12.) The Giants have wasted their money on Daniel Jones and Brian Daboll wants a do-over. Things have been downhill since Daniel Jones was the QB1 in week 2. In the other three weeks, he’s averaged just 7.4 FPPG. Last night, he was 27-34 for 203 yards and 2 INTs. That’s what $160 million gets you in today’s NFL, apparently. In fairness, I’m not sure anyone thought this contract was a great idea when they gave it to him and we’re seeing why in real time. It’s astonishing to throw it 27 times and barely top 200 yards, but Daniel Jones found a way. He’s still sliding in the fantasy ranks, all the way down to QB24. For context, that’s just two spots ahead of Zach Wilson. Maybe it’s Tyrod Time in the Meadowlands. Brian Daboll’s body language would indicate that he’s fed up:

(BONUS) Is the NFL trying to make sure the Chiefs win so that the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce storyline can continue to make headlines? You be the judge – Sauce Gardner made his feelings known.
Since we are commenting, let me say it from my perspective😂 For starters, this was around 5-7 yds from the LOS… not 15. 2. I extended my arms and he made the choice to lean on me with all of his weight which caused my hand to slide to the back of his pad; not his neck😂 I did… https://t.co/tVbV6kfKTI pic.twitter.com/eA15AbfWTK

Good luck moving into week 5, make sure to win your waiver bids and as always, Drop Kyle Pitts. Oh, and also unfollow “Fantasy Football Counselor” so he can disappear into the nothingness from which he came.
