FantasyFitz's Week 4 Minaj A Trois

Viagra Play of the Week - Brandon Marshall $7,000 (Jets WR)  
(This guy is guaranteed to erect your point total)

Bounce back time! After last weeks performance, you have to think Brandon Marshall, and his guy Ryan Fitzpatrick, are dying to get back on the football field. While the Seahawks always present a tough challenge, I am not sold on them bringing their usual "A" game east with them, for this early season 1 PM kick at Jets Stadium. Also, Sherman doesn't normally shadow, so B-Marsh should not have him all up his grill all day. With no Big D Decker out there, expect 15 to have an abundance of opportunities to get his first score of the season.  Barely a top 20 play on ESPN this week, give me a $7,000 Brandon Marshall to finish the week inside the top 10. 

Viagra P.S. -  I am still doing this Jordan Reed thing. I talked about it last week. I have to until he scores. I am in too deep, and since I am in too deep, I am into stacking Reed with his mate. Known to us as Kirk, known to Marcus Vick as Curt, give me some $6,500 Kirk Cousins. The matchup is too right, and their run game is non-existent, so with KC throwing a lot, he is a sure fired QB1 this week. Brandin Cooks is DUE! Hopefully he gets some time in the slot away from Verrett, but even if he doesn't, Brandin with an "I" will help Breesy big time in his revenge banger. BTW, if you're not reading Mike Clay's column on wide receiver matchups, you are not doing it right. Even though our Clay is an ESPN hater, it is worth the price of ESPN insider to utilize this column. Just a heads up, Le'Veon Bell is back.

BBW - Orleans Darkwa/Bobby Rainey/Paul Perkins $3,000 (Giants RBs)
(Blue Balls Warning - This guy will leave you painfully unsatisfied and wanting more)

Against the official bad ass defense of NYMWS, I am fading the Big Blue backfield hard in season long, and on DraftKings (if you play in one of these weird contests that includes MNF). The Vikings' defense will be flying around the field on Monday Night Football in their new home, and I am not trying to be the guy hoping for a Monday night miracle with one of these guys in my lineup. We need to see how this backfield shakes out with the top two dogs down. I'll pass on one-handed Rashad Jennings too if he goes. He is still the guy to own as far as the GMEN backs go though.  

Moped Ride of the Week - Steve Smith Sr. $4,500 (Ravens WR)
(This guy will be fun to ride for the week, but you're not going to want to brag to your friends about doing it)

Jalen Ramsey might have woke the beast. Steve Smith Sr. is getting a ton of targets, from an elite quarterback, and the matchup this week is favorable. For $4,500, plug the Canton-bound vet into your lineup.
   
Moped P.S. -  Speaking of targets, the raw Kevin White got 14 targets last week. With Alson tied up with Darius Slay, Hoyer will have to look White's way often once again. There is a good chance his fantasy points come in garbage time, and that is okayyyy, because they all count the same on the fantasy scoreboard. Chip seems to like giving it to Carlos Hyde, so in this RB ugly world we are living in, $4,200 is a good deal for Chip's main squeeze. It is not a PPR play, because Theo hogs the passing down work, but this is the week that Dwayne The Rock Washington happens. Start him in your standard leagues.
