As we wrote in the introduction of our Game-by-Game Analysis column, Week 4 has a comparatively high number of matchups that would suggest lower scores than what we have seen through the first three weeks. That is not, however, all-encompassing. There are always some games to target for their offensive potential, and we made it a point to dig through this apparently difficult week and find our favorites.
A Note from Mario: Another disappointing week with these picks, as they went 1-3. The good news is that many of the targets for DFS have remained successful. I will continue to provide them as I see fit, but please do your research and play responsibly.
In the world of daily fantasy roster construction, ‘stacking’ players from the same team can often lead to big results. In this column of games to target in Week 4, Luke and Mario will give their thoughts on a few games that are worth watching for fantasy purposes, and whether they like the value or feel the game is getting too much attention.
Luke’s Top Games to Watch
Tennessee Titans at New York Jets
One of the ways I like to look at this article is to identify games that have perfect game stacks to exploit. Just because I write about a game here as a game to target, doesn’t necessarily mean it is going to be the highest-scoring game, but rather that it may be a game that has some obvious game flow and projection that sets up well for a specific group of players. That is the case for this game specifically. We have always known the Titans to be a team that wants to run the ball, and after a rocky start to their season, they have successfully reestablished their ground game. Now, through three weeks, they have the second-most rush attempts, the third-most rushing yards, and rank sixth in yards per attempt. That is the definition of predictability in an offense, and add in the fact that both Julio Jones and A.J. Brown are looking unlikely to play, Derrick Henry should see an endless amount of touches. With the likely game flow ahead of them, that sets up the Jets to have a busy afternoon in store for rookie Zach Wilson. I have been aggressively down on Wilson and the Jets to start the season, but this is far and away the best setup that the Jets have had to be productive on offense. Playing against a Titans defense that ranks 25th in the league in pass yards per attempt may allow the rookie to finally have a productive outing. Pairing Wilson with Corey Davis, formerly of the Tennessee Titans, and Derrick Henry is a perfect game stack that gets you tremendous upside with a very affordable average salary.
