The Bucs are double-digit favorites against a run-funnel Panthers defense, so Jones is primed to smash this week.
Bruce Arians said it’s Jones’ job now, so even while losing passing down work, he has a bunch of upside in a Tom Brady offense with banged-up receivers. Over the four games Leonard Fournette missed last season, Jones averaged 23 touches and 115 scrimmage yards while scoring three touchdowns, so I ranked him as a top-five RB this week. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Carolina Panthers Start in DFS: Ronald Jones ($18) Sit: All Panthers Moreover, the Colts have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the slot, so Christian Kirk’s matchup looks difficult. He surprisingly ranks top-20 in yards per target this season, and Kyler Murray should rebound after last week’s ghastly performance. With DeAndre Hopkins out and Rondale Moore and James Conner banged up while facing a pass-funnel Colts defense that’s stingy against the run, signs are pointing to a busy day for Green. This game is tied for the highest over/under (49 points) of the week. GreenĮxpect Pittman to bounce back after last week’s shaky ejection and facing an Arizona defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to his primary side over the last month. Indianapolis Colts Arizona Cardinals Start: Michael Pittman, A.J. Marquez Valdes-Scantling was recently placed on the COVID list, so Lazard’s outlook would get a boost should MVS miss Sunday’s game. Lazard is more of a deep flier coming off a quiet week, but the Browns have ceded the sixth-most fantasy points to the slot this season, where he’s taken over for Randall Cobb. With Cleveland’s quarterback situation so shaky (no matter who starts) and its left tackle and center both questionable, it’s best not to trust any other Browns player in the fantasy playoffs. The Packers are giving up 4.5 YPC and rank 25th in run defense DVOA, so start Chubb as usual even with the projected game script looking unfavorable.

Gaskin is still worth using as a flex option in PPR, but he's no longer a must-start Fantasy running back heading into Week 4. And the Colts have allowed just 11 receptions to running backs this season. The Colts have allowed Chris Carson and Derrick Henry to each gain over 110 total yards this year, but neither scored a touchdown. Malcolm Brown is too much of a factor for Gaskin, especially in short-yardage situations, and the Dolphins offensive line has been a problem as well. While he did have a season-high 13 carries in Week 3 at Las Vegas, he's yet to score a touchdown this year and topped out at 11 PPR points in Week 1 at New England. Gaskin has been a bust for the season so far, and it's hard to trust him in Week 4 against the Colts.
