FanDuel Week 4 Running Back picks, tips and advice

Running back is another position where you want at least one of the top guys. In general, running backs are much more predictable and consistent than wide receivers, so I highly recommend going with a running back in the flex, especially in 50/50 formats, where you want to stray away from boom-bust players.

Alvin Kamara ($8,800) is someone who I want to build every lineup around and you can save some money in your RB2 spot with a guy like Kenyan Drake ($7,000), who I think should be able to right the ship in Week 4 against a weak Carolina defense.

Players like Austin Ekeler ($6,900), James Robinson ($6,600), and Darrell Henderson Jr. ($6,400) all provide tremendous RB1 at an RB2 cost. Also keep your eye open for guys like Carlos Hyde ($5,700), who you can slide into your lineup for cheap if Chris Carson were to miss time.

FanDuel Week 4 Wide Receiver picks, tips and advice

Wide receiver is the most important position in daily fantasy, as it is usually what separates you from the rest of the pack. This is due to the inconsistency of even the top receivers versus other positions, and you will usually see a few no-names creep into the top 15 or so wide receivers every week. Since you have to fill three wide receiver spots (possibly four depending on your flex), you are likely going to have to make one of them a dart throw.

My personal strategy after going heavy on running backs is to pick two high-value wideouts that are consensus WR1/2 and then go with one guy that will likely be under 5 percent drafted. This week Allen Robinson ($7,000) and D.K Metcalf ($6,900) are great values and both have a great chance at a top-five week.

DeVante Parker ($6,500) is also a cheaper option with a great matchup. Some dart throws I like this week are A.J Green ($5,700), Hunter Renfrow ($5,300) and Scotty Miller ($5,000), with the latter two likely to see heavy workloads due to injuries to the receivers in front of them on the depth chart.
