The pool of players is significantly smaller this Sunday of week 4 as we search through the players playing today for last minute fantasy football value.  There are six teams on a by this week many of which are well-stocked with usual fantasy options.  Whether you’re playing a one-week salary style game or are in a season long league, knowing the right matchups that present value can help you finalize your lineup.

More from Carolina Panthers

In any salary-based league, it’s important to get some players who are inexpensive but still produce points at a high level.  These players are in matchups to attack and should be able to produce given opportunity, form, and opponent.

If you own them in season-long formats, they make nice starts for the week and their value is higher than it usually is.

I try to select players from different tiers that I think will outperform those who are grouped at around the same price in salary leagues.  For each position, you can find a non-elite who I think will be elite, a non-starter who I think will put up starter numbers, and at the bottom of each page a player that is a flier at an extremely discounted price.
