Dwain McFarland (Fantasy Life) — Josh Jacobs, RB, Packers
If you want to buy Josh Jacobs, now is the time.
The Packers are seven-point road favorites, and Dallas has allowed the seventh-best boost to opposing backfields (2.5 PPG). Green Bay’s RB1 is due for a big game. He is averaging 13.6 points, but has an 82 Utilization Score. His historical comps have averaged 15.8 points per contest. Jacobs carries the No. 3 Xfinity Best ceiling with 36.1 points and offers the No. 2 median projection at 17.3 points.
Josh Jacobs is a SMASH play as a mid-range RB1 and could be the top back on the Week 4 slate.
Zach Brunner (FlurrySports) — Jakobi Meyers, WR, Raiders
This is a weird one, since this is a player who is performing well and has performed well, but the respect level isn’t where it needs to be. Jakobi Meyers’ name does not move the needle, and many still feel like Geno Smith is going to fall off a cliff. However, Meyers’ role in this offense is safe. He is WR22 this season in PPR scoring, and he should continue to be a safe start. Per our Opportunity Index, Meyers ranks 11th among WRs in looks per game, and he averages 83.7 air yards per game. Before he proves himself further, see if you can buy low on some Jakobi Meyers fantasy football trades.
Trevor Land (FlurrySports) — Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals
Despite finishing his Thursday Night Football performance strongly, the doubts about Marvin Harrison Jr. remain high, while his stock as a trustworthy fantasy option is low. After a disappointing rookie season, Harrison has gone viral for the wrong reasons so far this season. For as bad as he’s looked at times, he does consistently see six targets per game. While that hasn’t led to receptions consistently quite yet, that can change in a hurry. If he caught that wide-open ball in Week 3 and simply ran straight after, we’d be looking at him a lot differently now.
