Antonio Brown shows frustration on sidelines as Steelers defeat Ravens.

Brown caught four passes for 34 yards, as Big Ben spread the ball around with Le’Veon Bell carrying the load on offense. AB’s frustration came after his quarterback didn’t attempt a deep ball to him when he was wide open, but it wasn’t a good look for the superstar receiver, as he threw a Gatorade container and slapped offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s hand away when he tried talking to him. Things won’t get much easier against the Jaguars in Week 5, but Brown remains a no-doubt top-five option.

Larry Fitzgerald goes off in Monday Night Football loss to the Cowboys.

Fitz caught 13 of 15 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown against Dallas, as he had one of the better games you’ll see this year. The touchdown was on a great corner route in the end zone where he head-fakes to the post before catching a perfect pass from Carson Palmer for the score. Fitz also made an excellent leaping grab on third-and-19 when the Cardinals needed it late in the game, taking the ball out of the air from Cowboys defensive back Orlando Scandrick. The veteran receiver should be a great option again in Week 4 against the 49ers.

Blake Bortles struggles as Jaguars lose to Jets in overtime.

Bortles was 15/35 for 140 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also rushed four times for 38 yards. The poor performance follows a four-touchdown game against Baltimore last Sunday, proving that even in the best of matchups, fantasy owners shouldn’t stream Bortles, especially with Allen Robinson not on the field. Bortles is completing a career-low 54.5% of his passes this year. He gets the Steelers next.

John Brown (quadricep) was limited in practice today.

After missing the last two games and not practicing all last week, Brown is headed in the right direction and looks like he could be back this Sunday. If he plays it’d be hard to trust him in fantasy lineups in his first game back, but hopefully he can get out there against the 49ers.

Cole Beasley gets six targets in Week 4.

Beasley caught three passes for only 17 yards against the Rams. Through four games, Beasley is on pace for 44 receptions for 344 yards and no touchdowns. He had 75 receptions last season, so look for him to pick it up moving forward. He shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups right now, though.

Chris Hogan scores fourth touchdown of the year in Week 4.

Hogan was again a great target for Tom Brady, catching five of nine targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Carolina. Hogan’s touchdown was a two-yarded on a nice in-breaking route where Brady threw a precise pass to the back of the end zone. After his subpar Week 1 in which he was matched up with Marcus Peters for much of the night, Hogan’s stat lines are 5/78/1, 4/68/2, and 5/60/1. He’s looking like a great WR2 right now.

The Eagles signed RB Kenjon Barner.

Barner was with the Eagles from 2014-2016, so he has a lot of familiarity with the team and will fit right in. The former Oregon Duck has some ability to take some of the work left by Darren Sproles, and he probably fits that role better than LeGarrette Blount, Wendell Smallwood, and Corey Clement do. He’s worth a look in deep PPR leagues.
