Fantasy football picks: Week 4 TNF Eagles vs. Packers

Jimmy Graham – How the mighty have fallen. Jimmy was once a top-ranked tight end and has fallen to the point where he is spitting snaps with Marcedes Lewis. Logging only 57% of the snaps on the year, Jimmy has been a major disappointment for Green Bay. It has been noted by Rodgers, that he wants Graham involved much more in this offense. At 6.5k I will be tempted to take a chance on him, in hopes that he scores a touchdown.

Jake Elliott – Playing a kicker is pretty common in single-game slates, and for those who are too lazy to dig for cheaper value plays, some people will even play both kickers. That is a strategy I hate doing, but playing one kicker, usually the cheaper of the two options, is a viable move.

Elliott hasn’t had the same volume as he did last year, but he also has yet to miss a field goal, or an extra point attempt, which is actually more impressive than you may realize. I think that Philly might struggle to score touchdowns but should get into field goal range a few times for Elliot.

Mack Hollins – Mack is actually second in snaps among wide receivers at 66%, but that is mostly because Jeffrey and Jackson were hurt. Last week he played 99% of the snaps alongside Agholor and was ahead of Whiteside.

It has already been announced that he will be working ahead of Whiteside for this Thursday night game. This means with Jackson still out that he will be the third receiver, and should see pretty of volume. At just 8k he is worth a shot considering how many targets he has had the past two weeks.
