ADVICE

Start Jordan Mason With Confidence

  • Start Jordan Mason confidently when Aaron Jones is out; he offers touchdown equity and strong matchup grades this week.
  • Prioritize his volume and A matchup against the Steelers over pass-catching concerns.
INSIGHT

Hampton's Workhorse Upside

  • O'Marion Hampton likely becomes a true workhorse after Najee Harris's season-ending injury.
  • His Week 4 matchup vs. the Giants is strong given their bottom-ranked run defense and fantasy points allowed to RBs.
ADVICE

Be Cautious With Ashton Gentry

  • Fade Ashton Gentry if your lineup has better options due to poor blocking and negligible receiving usage.
  • Still start him in most leagues if you lack alternatives, but expect inconsistent efficiency.
