Week 4 NFL FanDuel Tournament Pivots
Despite leading the NFL in rushing, LeGarratte Blount is likely to go overlooked with Melvin Gordon priced similarly this weekend.

Quarterback

Chalk:

Philip Rivers, $8,500 vs New Orleans Saints - Quarterback doesn't appear to be an overly chalky position this week, but two plays that stand out are Philip Rivers and Drew Brees facing off in a game with a 53.5-point over/under. Matthew Stafford also appears poised to be a popular option against an injury-decimated Chicago Bears defense.

Pivots:

Kirk Cousins, $7,600 vs Cleveland Browns - Kirk Cousins isn't likely to be heavily owned after a disappointing start to the season, but he's in a terrific spot against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. The Redskins have the second-highest implied team total on the slate, which shouldn't be surprising, considering Cleveland's defensive struggles this season. The Browns have allowed Carson Wentz, Joe Flacco and Ryan Tannehill to average 300 passing yards and 2.3 touchdowns against them. And that trio has a combined 0.13 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back, which pales in comparison to Cousin's ninth-ranked 0.23 Passing NEP per drop back. A big time bounce-back week could certainly be in store for Cap'n Kirk against Cleveland.
