SIT ‘EM

Lions. Eric Ebron. 4. player. 50. Projected Points: 5.2. Tight End

Eric Ebron hasn’t been a great asset to fantasy football owners yet this season. As such, sitting him in week four is probably a good idea. So far, the Lions tight end has just nine catches for 60 yards and one touchdown.

It’s obvious that Ebron isn’t one of Matthew Stafford‘s main targets (and when he does target him, he drops passes), but this week likely won’t excite Ebron owners either. The Lions will play the Minnesota Vikings, who have one of the best defenses in the entire league.

The Vikings have held all three of their opponents to less than 20 points and have prevented any tight ends from having big games. Cameron Brate did score a touchdown against them last week, but it was after the Vikings had a pretty significant lead.

Ebron drops passes and just hasn’t been the fantasy stud that many hoped he’d be this year. He won’t be having a breakout game against Minnesota, so sit him this week.
