When it rains and pours, and for the first time this season I had bad weeks on both my game picks and on Draft Kings. In the distance, I can hear the world’s smallest violin playing as I sit here at my desk and write this blog.

But the same way that addicts are hooked on their drugs of choice, I am hooked on making game bets and Draft Kings lineups. For that reason, I’m coming right back with another guide for Week 4, and hopefully I can get back to success I had during Week 1 and 2.

Here are my power rankings for Week 4.

So I think I should point out a few things about these lineups that make them a little different than usual. For starters, I loaded up my teams based around the QB. If you look at each lineup, I put multiple receivers from that team in the same lineup. This is something I usually try not to do because I like having a mixed bag of players from different teams, but I’m gonna test this out because I really like the matchups.

Another thing I did was leave $300 in remaining salary for my first team. Basically what happened was I drafted my team, really liked what I had, and anytime I tried to add in that 300 bucks it kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Sometimes less is more, and we’ll see how it goes.

As for what players I think will have big weeks and showed that by playing them in multiple lineups, I really like Austin Ekeler, Mark Ingram, Evan Engram, and Will Dissly. This is Ekeler’s last time to shine so to speak before Melvin Gordon comes back next week, and he gets to do it against a brutal Dolphins team. Mark Ingram has been creeping up to the top of the RB list lately, and is currently sitting at #5. The Browns D hasn’t been terrible, but they have been getting ran over by running backs this year. Evan Engram and new Giants QB Daniel Jones seem to have some chemistry, and the favorable Redskins matchup made him a must play for me. And finally, Will Dissly has been sneakily very productive lately with 3 touchdowns and 100+ yards the past 2 weeks. The Cardinals have been having a tough time stopping the pass, especially against tight ends, so I hope him and Russ keep it going this week.

So that’s that. As always, nothing to do now but wait and see if these lineups pan out the way I’m hoping the will. Fingers crossed that everybody finds the endzone this weekend.
