Tell your friends (just not your leaguemates until next week)

Bo McBrayer brings the spice with his Week 4 fantasy football advice, giving you the musings and information you need to keep your lineups “hot-n-ready.”

I wonder if everyone has a party trick—a little unique thing you do well to impress people in social settings. Mine is “really lame,” according to my wife, but I can see a name, hear a voice and know that person’s lineage. My education was in international relations and linguistics, so it could be considered an odd flex. Either way, I love hearing about those sorts of things from others. 

Week 4 is assuredly going to have some surprise performances from players who are stepping up for an injured star. To properly identify them, attention to detail on personnel and usage patterns from the first week is very important. The waiver run wasn’t overly exciting this time around. My inclination is to believe those sleepers are already on the bench, itching to cover a flex spot with upside in mind. Take a shot this week. The rest of my thoughts on the upcoming slate were tabulated in a sleep-deprived stupor, so strap in.

Week 4 Fantasy Football: Malice & Mayhem

Lutefisk & Cheese: Mortal Enemies

There is no love lost in the NFC Norse (shoutout Chris Berman). Minnesota and Green Bay are rounding into shape just in time for their first clash of 2024, and they don’t like each other. Everyone is thankful for Malik Willis’ contribution this year, but we’re also hopeful Jordan Love can return this week. We need to be able to count on Jayden Reed and Christian Watson, not just Josh Jacobs.

Sam Darnold has been something of a revelation for the Vikings, more impressively without Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson in the early going. Justin Jefferson is the rising tide. This game has tons of curb appeal.

Bucky’s Buccos & Buckaroos

I need the Bucky Irving breakout to happen. I’ve talked so much smack to Rachaad White truthers, but this recent blip on the injury report could ruin me. If Irving can go, he’s in a great spot to continue earning more opportunities. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are also dinged up. 

The Eagles defense has only been okay so far and provides a savory matchup for Baker Mayfield’s weaponry. Philly is very likely to be down both AJ Brown and Devonta Smith against the Bucs, vaulting Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert to the moon. These classic NFC matchups are apparently my thing.

But enough about the NFC, we must talk about the Chiefs visiting the Chargers. Jim Harbaugh’s Bolts are 2-1 and built to wear down Andy Reid’s offense, although it didn’t show in the results under the previous regime. Justin Herbert’s availability is in question again, so my focus is on JK Dobbins and his role in the field position battle that Harbaugh wants. Patrick Mahomes is slow out the gate this year, by his standards. Rashee Rice’s role is lethal, but Travis Kelce is suffering behind it. Carson Steele has all of us praying he starts stumbling into the end zone. Is Samaje Perine even worth the hassle? We, the people, demand to see more Week 1 Xavier Worthy. 

Crab Cakes for a Lifetime

The Ravens needed a slump-buster. Enter the paper-thin Dallas Cowboys, who rolled over in the running game on both sides of the ball. Baltimore held on at the end, but most of that game was dominated by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. They are easily the best 1-2 team. Buffalo is out here piling up carnage. Josh Allen is entirely out of his mind en fuego. The Ravens really took a step back on defense when coordinator Michael MacDonald left to be the head coach in Seattle (3-0, by the way). Khalil Shakir is their rock, and James Cook is their spear. Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman were sighted last week, too. Allen could very well stay scorched earth. He popped the corn I’m buttering. The Bills are a force until further notice.
