Onguard Week 4!
Pricing is definitely tightening and going up on the strong elite players at the QB, WR, and RB positions in particular. This comes as no surprise as we are almost a quarter of the way into the 2025 NFL season. Crazy how fast it goes! But there is still value to be found and balanced teams to build, so let’s get digging…
Daniel Jones has thrived in Shane Steichen’s offense with the Colts punting only once in 3 games so far. That is an NFL record! Daniel Jones is the type of QB that has great value on FD as a dual threat with the rushing ability. Now he faces an opportunistic Los Angeles Rams defense that has recorded 12 sacks, tied with the Denver Broncos for most on the year so far. Jones had 25.84 FD points against the Broncos already, which included a rushing TD. That output is more than 3X his salary this week. Add in one of the best RBs in the league in Jonathan Taylor and an offensive line ranked in the top 5 in the league per PFF prior to the season starting, and this could set up for a great real-life and fantasy game for Week 4.
Rookie Emeka Egbuka has had an impressive start to the season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording 3 receiving TDs over the course of 3 games (we love Touchdowns, especially on FanDuel). He is averaging 7 targets a game, and now with Mike Evans set to miss a few weeks with a hamstring injury and Chris Godwin being eased back in at best for Week 4, the situation sets up for more volume and activity for the 19th overall pick of this year’s NFL Draft. At home against another undefeated team the Philadelphia Eagles, this sets up for a competitive game with concentrated offenses.
The tight end position on FD is the one position where there is value all the way to the top so far. Let’s take advantage of it while we can, with the possible end-of-season TE1. One more week separated from the minor knee injury he sustained, Brock Bowers and the Raiders are back home against a Chicago Bears secondary that is decimated with injuries. Averaging 7 targets a game, despite the injury, and yet to score a touchdown on the year, the conditions are ripe in this matchup for productivity and TD regression for the talented second-year pro.
