The Detroit Lions pass defense has been the worst in the league
against opposing QBs allowing 35.3 fantasy points and 979 passing
yards (326.3 ypg). Their secondary is injured and inept. Meanwhile,
Bryce Young and the Panthers passing offense has been one of the
most improved in the league. Young's production is up nine points-per-game
from 15.4 to 24.4 this season. Pay attention to an injury to wideout
Jalen Coker (quad) and as long as he and Tetairoa McMillan are
good to go, then Young should have a huge game.
2) Daniel Jones @ Washington (London)
Daniel Jones is off to a slow start, when compared to last season,
but a date with the Commanders defense should be the elixir needed
to produce a healthy fantasy total. The Commanders are allowing
opposing QBs 31.6 FPts/G, second-worst in the league and a league-high
11 touchdown passes. The loss of Alec Pierce in Week 3 was ably
made up by Josh Downs taking over as the No.1 wideout and the
addition workload to veteran Keenan Allen (6-63-1) and tight end
Tyler Warren (9-55-0). Jones should be a top-10 fantasy quarterback
in Week 4. This game is being played in London, England Sunday
morning.
Stroud is off to a decent beginning in 2026, averaging 19 FPts/G
even without No.1 wideout Nico Collins sidelined (hamstring).
Head Coach DeMeco Ryans said he's "hopeful"
to have Collins back in Week 4. If back, Collins, Xavier Hutchinson
and tight end Dalton Schultz are talented enough to take advantage
of a Dallas pass defense which has yielded 25.6 FPts/G to opposing
QBs (third-worst).

The defending champions may have allowed 33 points to the Commanders
last weekend, but don't be fooled into thinking the defense
is struggling. Seattle has allowed a league-low 456 passing yards
over three games (152 ypg) and 16.4 QB fantasy points-per-game.
Meanwhile, everybody's "favorite" quarterback
is averaging just 16.1 FPts/G which makes him the 30th-ranked
quarterback. The Chargers have yet to score more than 16 points
in a game this season. Look elsewhere for a starting quarterback.
Yes, Cousins and the Raiders are off to a 3-0 start, but the
road gets tougher starting in Week 4. Cousins has thrown three
touchdown passes in each of the first three games, but the Chiefs
defense hasn't allowed a three-touchdown quarterback performance
in 19 games and allowed zero touchdown passes from Raiders QBs
in two games last season. Additionally, the Chiefs have allowed
tight ends just one catch for three measly yards in three games
this season. I'm fading Cousins in Week 4.
Keenum had an amazing Monday night against Philadelphia (24-of-34
for 247 yards and 2 TDs), but now he comes off a short work week
to face a Jets defense which has only allowed quarterbacks 16.8
FPts/G and the third-fewest passing yards (184.6 ypg). The emotion
of his first start in years will have worn off and now it’s
just football again.
