FanDuel NFL Lineup: Optimal Week 4 picks for Sunday games

RB1: Saquon Barkley, New York Giants, $8,000

Average FanDuel Points Per Week: 19.3
Opponent: New Orleans Saints

So far this season, Saquon Barkley has been money. Although the New York Giants are only 1-2 since his arrival, the rookie running back is certainly rewarding fantasy owners. Just look at those beautiful 19.3 points per week if you’re unsure.

Now he heads into a Week 4 matchup with the New Orleans Saints that should provide him with plenty of opportunities to rack up fantasy points. Although the Saints have been stout against the run this season, their inability to slow the pass (and Barkley’s affinity for catching passes) make this a tantalizing scenario that could pay huge dividends.

RB2: Tevin Coleman, Atlanta Falcons, $7,200

Average FanDuel Points Per Week: 12.4
Opponent: Cincinnati Bengals

Hey look, another great matchup! The Atlanta Falcons roll into Week 4 with Tevin Coleman still leading the charge in the ground game. Based on his performances so far this season, I think he’s earned the respect of fantasy players everywhere.

On top of that, the Bengals have been garbage when it comes to slowing the run this season. If the Carolina Panthers can put up 230 rushing yards against the Cincinnati defense as they did in Week 3, I see little reason to believe that Coleman can’t do similar damage on his home field.
