Show notes

Rich Hribar is joined by Sam Hoppen from 4for4 Fantasy Football to preview the fantasy football and daily fantasy landscape ahead of week six of NFL action.

Sam gives his fantasy football and analytics background and how he got to where he is.

Rich jumps into running back trends and how to navigate all the injuries.

First they breakdown the Packers running backs, Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, and how to use them in a lineup.

Can the Browns running back tandem of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt sustain their level of production or will one be a better start the rest of the season?

Is Jamaal Williams preventing D’Andre Swift from being an elite running back for the Lions on the level of Christian McCaffery and Austin Ekeler?

Is there any hope left for Trey Sermons fantasy owners after the 49ers game plan last weekend?

Then they go through Sam’s concentration of targets chart, looking at the top three targets for each team.

The Steelers are high on Sam’s chart but what does the JuJu Smith-Schuster injury mean for Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson and Najee Harris’ fantasy value?

At the bottom of his chart is Giants. With Kenny Golladay hurt and Kadarious Toney looking like a solid receiver what does it mean for Sterling Shepard’s return? How will the Giants use their receivers and how should you use them in fantasy?

Sam explains his pass rate over expectation charts and how he puts them together. He uses them to breakdown the Saints, Cowboys, Bucs and Bengals offenses looking forward. How will the Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb gain fantasy value? Should you ride out Chris Godwin or jump ship? How are the Bengals using Ja’Marr Chase and what does it mean for his fantasy value?

Which other players does Sam love and hate in fantasy football based on performance?

Who is one player that Sam is stashing on fantasy rosters?
