National Survey of Youth Sports Families Highlights Impacts of Shifting NCAA Realities, With a Clear Culprit: Too Few Roster Opportunities - IMG Academy

The NFL of week 4 is not the NFL of week 1. With dozens of stars already placed on the injured reserve, news flash — the honeymoon phase has ended. As players work to settle into their new roles and face their team’s new realities, we will see who's going to shine and who's going to fall apart when the lights get bright. Washington Commanders Quarterback Marcus MariotaMariota put on a show for the ages this past week against one of — if not the — best team in football and the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks. Mariota threw for three touchdowns in his first start in place of the injured Jayden Daniels. Entering this week against a much weaker defence in the Indianapolis Colts, I’d be willing to take a risk and put my bet on the backup that just torched the defending champs. Plus, Mariota is rostered in only 3.3 per cent of ESPN fantasy leagues. Carolina Panthers Receiver Tetairoa McMillanThe wide receiver 1 spot has been a battle in Carolina to start the season, but it looks like we have found the superior panther. Tet faces a weak Lions secondary, who ranks last in yards allowed per game with opposing teams averaging 299.3 yards per game.
