Welcome to the Week Four DFS GPP Breakdown. Things have been a little stressful down here in Southwest Florida. We finally got power and internet back on Saturday morning. Luckily, I already had some of this written, but this is going to be a more truncated version of the article because time is currently my enemy.

For anyone who lives in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, I hope you are okay. With the return of power, I am just now seeing some of the horrific damage out there. Please stay safe and tell your loved ones how much they mean to you.

Chalk Stack

Bills @ Ravens

My one concern with this matchup is whether or not Lamar Jackson and company can find offensive success against the Bills defense. The total for the game is 51.5. Many DFS players are going to stack this game, which makes stacking it a possible fade for me. That being said, I probably want some of it.

This should be fairly obvious, but Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Dawson Knox, and maybe even Ian McKenzie who might need some redemption for his blunder last week (go to the 10:45 mark) can be stacked with Josh Allen.

With Lamar, it’s Marc Andrews and Rashod Bateman, maybe some Devin Duvernay.

Other Stacks

Jaguars @ Eagles

Jalen Hurts is on another level this year, but so are the Jaguars. The team looks much better now that they have a real coach. Philly’s defense looks legitimate, but should the Jags find some success then we could see the fantasy points rack up. Stack Hurts with one to two of AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.

On the Jacksonville side, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones (if he plays, Marvin Jones if he doesn’t), Evan Engram and even some James Robinson could be in play.

Seahawks @ Lions

It’s both of these running games that interest me this week. Rashaad Penny ran all over these Lions in Week 17 last year. With no Travis Homer, Penny should see more snaps. Jamaal Williams will be operating as RB1 with D’Andre Swift out. If something were to happen to Williams, Craig Reynolds would step in and might be this week’s Khalil Herbert. Reynolds will probably get some work in this game regardless.

One-Offs

Austin Ekeler. Last December when Ekeler was out, Justin Jackson ran all over the Texans. Houston’s issues stopping the run are still evident as Khalil Herbert showed us last week.

Michael Pittman gets the Titans secondary which isn’t good to start but is also pretty banged up. No team has allowed more fantasy points to outside WRs than Tennessee.

Cedee Lamb has a 34% target share which is an average of about 11 targets a game. Cooper Rush is being quite efficient at managing these games for the Boys. The Commanders are allowing the 3rd most fantasy points per game to WRs and Lamb’s matchup with CB Benjamin St-Juste is juicy.

Courtland Sutton has a 28% target share. The Raiders secondary is bottom 10 due in part to injuries.

Romeo Doubs has been projected by many to become WR1 in Green Bay for some time now. Since Allen Lazard has not stepped up to the plate, Doubs might be Rodgers’ new favorite target.

Dameon Pierce is now the primary RB in Houston and is still priced too low on DK. As Danny Carpenter pointed out, Sir Rexington Burkhead put up 150 yards in this matchup last year.

Thanks for reading, sorry it was a little shorter than normal!
