If you’re ready to move past surface stats and get serious about your edge—this is your pod.

Jacob Gibbs breaks down some of Fantasy Football's biggest under-performers and how to evaluate them for your fantasy roster.

Adam, Dan and Jacob go Beyond the Box Score to break down everything you need to know from Week 4, starting with a recap of Sunday Night Football and the impressive Panthers offense (6:17). After injury updates from around the league (13:48), the guys dive into the stats and film notes that stood out this week, including Kyren Williams, the Chiefs offense, Omarion Hampton and more (20:54).
