Things went much better in week 4 with my NFL fantasy picks.

Last week was somewhat rough for me with my NFL fantasy picks,  but week 4 picked up a little bit and brought me some profits.

QB

Kirk Cousins was my first pick at quarterback last week as his Redskins took on my beloved, but frustrating Cleveland Browns. Cousins threw for only 183 yards, but found the end zone 3 times. Two of those scores went to Jordan Reed who I had stacked with Cousins and brought me some value at only 13% and 9% owned respectively. Cousins totaled 18.32 fantasy points on DraftKings, while Reed had 28

My second pick at quarterback last week was the Raven’s Joe Flacco tallied 298 yards of passing and a touchdown, as well as another touchdown on the ground. Although it is a little frustrating that he was 2 yards away from the 300 yard bonus, he still tallied 23.02 fantasy points.

RB

Isaiah Crowell was the first running back I discussed last week and he had another big day, staying atop of the NFL in rushing this season. Crowell ran for 112 yards and 1 touchdown on the ground. He also added 3 catches for 22 yards all adding up for a total of 25.4 fantasy points, and at his low price of $4,400 and only 6% owned provided great value.

The second running back was not as cheap, but was lower owned at just over 2% as I had anticipated because he was facing the Patriots. LeSean McCoy only ran for 70 yards, but caught 6 passes for another 38 yards and a score. McCoy finished the week with 22.8 fantasy points.

WR

My receiver picks were not nearly as good as the rest of the other positions, although I played enough other guys to still have a successful weekend. My first pick at receiver Travis Benjamin was targeted 7 times throughout the game which isn’t bad, he only caught 4 however. And the 4 that he caught only went for 48 yards and no scores, and on top of that he fumbled one resulting in a mere 7.8 fantasy points.

Cole Beasley had a slightly better day but was not targeted nearly as much as I had anticipated, falling below double digit targets for the first time all season. Beasley only caught 3 passes for 66 yards and one rushing attempt for 7 yards, resulting in 10.3 fantasy points.
