Binge, Stream, Skip: Week 4 Fantasy Football

Game environment is the foundational starting point in making fantasy football lineup decisions. As such, I’m going to break down each game on the slate into three categories: Binge, Stream and Skip.

Games you want to “binge” are like the show you can’t miss; you’re watching as soon as it goes live and might just crush all the episodes in one weekend. These are the start-all-your-guys fantasy games and ones with season-defining storylines.

Games you want to “stream” are like the shows you certainly watch start to finish, but perhaps you’re finishing it over time instead of one shot. While these games might not feature a ton of “must-starts,” we can pick and choose our spots, and the teams are likely to matter in the NFL playoff picture.

Lastly, the games you want to “skip” are like the shows you’re leaning toward passing on, but you might catch an episode here and there (or might stick to reading recaps online to stay up with the culture). There will be a non-obvious player or two who stands out in these games, but overall, they aren’t the best environment for fantasy football.

Let’s dive into my Week 4 Fantasy Football Viewer’s Guide.

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers

The undefeated and white-hot Minnesota Vikings will take on a division rival in Green Bay, who will likely welcome back their franchise quarterback. Jordan Love sounds ready to return from his Week 1 knee injury.

Brian Flores has been putting quarterbacks in the blender dating back to last year and he’s just pitched a couple of excellent performances back-to-back against Brock Purdy and C.J. Stroud. According to Fantasy Points Data, Minnesota has the second-highest blitz rate in the league (39%) and plays two-high coverage at the highest rate (77.9%). That makes them a challenging matchup for just about any passer and it’ll likely put Love into some chaotic spots in his first game back.
