A big game for Howard?

While the receivers might have a tough day, O.J. Howard could potentially have his best game yet. It’s been an incredibly slow start for Howard but he has shown in his career that he can bust big plays. Cameron Brate remains on the waiver wire unless something drastic were to happen to Howard that would cause him to miss time.

Since Howard has come into the league, he has 12 receptions of 20 yards or more. In that same time frame the Rams are tied for most in the league in allowing 20 yards or more plays to opposing tight ends. Expect Howard to have at least one of these explosive plays this week, and this game could be his best bet to find the endzone for the first time this season.

When it comes to the Tampa Bay defense just go ahead and drop them and add a new team. The Rams will torch this defense for a ton of points just like the Daniel Jones-led Giants did last week. Tampa was a stream for me last week and while they weren’t great, they forced a lot of sacks and turnovers to salvage their fantasy day.

Best of luck in your week four matchups.
