MATT HARMON: Just like Planters is the go-to snack you crave, Yahoo's Fantasy is the go to destination to dominate your fantasy league. And it's time to pick the players we are most nuts about this week. Dalton, hit me with who's first.

DALTON DEL DON: I'm nuts about Darrell Henderson. I mean, the Rams are 13-point home favorites. Cam Akers remains banged up. I know this may eventually become a committee, but Henderson is PFF's highest-rated runner through three weeks, all-time leader in college in yards per carry, replacing a role that Todd Gurley led the NFL in touchdowns, the lead back of the Rams, with 54 in the last three seasons. So give me all the Darrell Henderson in week 4. I'm nuts about him.

MATT HARMON: Yeah, playing against a Giants team that after your 49ers shellacked with their JV team last night--

DALTON DEL DON: Right.

MATT HARMON: --I have officially canceled the Giants. The Giants are-- they're about to be relegated with the other New York teams. So stay on notice about that.

Now, a player I am nuts about this week is a guy who's kind of gotten off to a slow start. You drafted him really high-- Kenyan Drake. The volume has been there from a rushing standpoint. He's top five in the NFL in carries among running backs. But he has just five targets, which is a huge disappointment.

But I think this whole offense can get rolling against a Carolina Panthers' defense that is just not good. Austin Ekeler went crazy against them last week from a receiving perspective. I think Kenyan Drake could get a little bit more involved in the passing game.

So yeah, if you have been disappointed with Kenyan Drake so far, maybe go and, you know, stay the course this week. And if you have someone in your league who's been disappointed, maybe consider making a trade offer there, because I think Drake is going to have a massive week 4. I'm absolutely nuts about him.

And of course, don't forget to dominate your league with Yahoo Fantasy and celebrate game day with uniquely satisfying Planters snacks.
