Life without David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins came to a head in Week 4, as the Lions' pass rush made life difficult for Jordan Love on Thursday Night Football. Against a mobile quarterback, they will have a more difficult time muddying the pocket in Week 5. It’ll be a rough click for managers this week, but we should expect a bounce-back performance for Michael Pittman, who has accrued 154 air yards over Richardson’s two full starts while accounting for a 25.8% target share.Įven after stifling the Bengals passing attack last week, the Titans rank 25th in QB aFPA and 29th in WR aFPA. In Week 4, the Colts’ leading fantasy pass-catcher was Andrew Ogletree, who caught three of his four targets for 48 yards and a touchdown.

Richardson himself is a must-start in practically any situation, but the sad box scores from his pass-catchers are likely to be a recurring theme throughout this season. This week, they’ll take on rookie Anthony Richardson, who looks anything but hobbled after he returned to the field (concussion) to finish last week as the overall QB2, rushing for 56 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. The Tennessee Titans' defense showed up in Week 4 against a woefully hobbled Joe Burrow and an underperforming pass-protection unit, but that doesn’t mean they’re not still a defense we should be targeting in fantasy football.

Let’s begin by diving into the passing game to see what O-Line/defense matchups we can exploit.

These numbers will continue to strengthen through more data points as the season progresses and, when compared to a team’s advantages within the trenches, will expose fantasy pieces we may not have otherwise considered. Many sites publish raw fantasy points allowed by position, but 4for4 goes a step further and adjusts those numbers for a defense’s relative year-to-date schedule strength. Here at 4for4, we’re dedicated to looking at fantasy pieces from all angles, including an offensive line's positive and negative impact on that team’s fantasy assets.īelow, I’m going to be digging into specific weekly matchups between offensive lines and the opposing defense's aFPA-one of the many useful tools available to us here at 4for4.
