MILWAUKEE -- The way Chicago Cubs fans have taken over Milwaukees Miller Park this season, John Lackey might feel like hes right at home Saturday afternoon when he takes the mound for game two of a three-game set against the Brewers.Nobody has enjoyed the friendly confines of Wrigley Field this season more than John Lackey.The veteran right-hander, in his first year with the Cubs has compiled a 2.84 ERA at home this season but has struggled on the road, where that number jumps up to 4.70 while Lackey gas gone 0-4 in his last seven road starts.Lackey took a rare home loss his last time out, allowing four runs on six hits over eight innings with eight strikeouts and two walks against the Rangers.I was honestly pretty happy about the way I threw the ball, Lackey said following that outing. Threw eight innings but definitely not a good day to pitch.Hell be facing Milwaukee for the second time this season -- he allowed a run and struck out five on May 18 -- and has a 5-1 record with a 2.95 ERA in nine career starts against the Brewers, including a 1-0 record and 0.90 ERA in his last three.Milwaukee will counter with right-hander Zach Davies, who has emerged as a top-notch starter in an otherwise struggling rotation.Davies, called up April 17 from Triple-A Colorado Springs, started the season slow (0-3, 8.78 ERA) but has been on a roll over since, going 6-1 with a 2.95 ERA in his last 13 outings.He threw seven scoreless innings his last time out, in a 1-0 loss to the Reds last Sunday in Cincinnati, but retired 16 of his last 17 batters including the final 11 in a row.I felt great, Davies said after the game. It was great to be back and go out there and just from the start be in the game. Be focused and attacking hitters the way we set up the game plan. I let the defense make plays behind me.Milwaukee had sent Davies back down to Triple-A after his final start of the first half; a procedural move that allowed them to add an extra bat to the bench until Davies next turn to pitch.The move drew the ire of Davies agent, Scott Boras, but Davies said he understood.As long as I did my work over the break, I knew it shouldnt be an issue, Davies said. I took the first couple of days off before I went to Colorado, then had a regular bullpen session, then went home and just tossed every day. I threw a bullpen Wednesday at home and then another one when I got here.Milwaukee has dropped four of the six meetings between the two NL Central rivals so far this season and is 1-4 in the last five series with the Cubs at Miller Park.

The Colts and Jaguars are playing in London Sunday morning; be sure to get your rosters set by 9:30 a.m. ET.LOCKSQB Matthew Stafford vs. ChicagoStafford has been chucking the rock this season! He has seven touchdowns in 3 weeks. Way to go Jim Bob! You also have to love the chemistry Matt has established with wide receiver, Marvin Jones, who has easily become his favorite target. This pass heavy offense has a fun match up against the Bears in week 4.(Others: Philip Rivers @ New Orleans, Joe Flacco vs. Oakland)WR Marvin Jones vs. ChicagoFrom Stafford to Jones...stack this duo heading into week 4! Jones was 6 for 205 yards and two touchdowns last week against the Packers. He has 29 targets in three games and has leapfrogged Golden Tate as the number one option for Stafford on this Lions offense.(Others: Travis Benjamin vs. New Orleans, Emmanuel Sanders @ Tampa Bay)RB Melvin Gordon vs. New OrleansGordon has scored a TD all three weeks of the fantasy season. No wonder his mom wears his jersey now...the dude is delivering! Due to injuries, Gordon has become a large part of the Chargers offense, getting 77% of the teams backfield work. Sunday he gets a juicy match up against a Saints defense that was humiliated by the Falcons last week.(Others: LeGarrette Blount vs. Bills, C.J. Anderson @ Tampa Bay)TE Coby Fleener @ San DiegoFleener was targeted 11 times in week 3, and finished the day 7 for 109 yards and a touchdown. The fact wide receiver Willie Snead was inactive helped his stat line. This week he has another favorable match up against the Chargers defense that has allowed tight ends to wrack up 87 receiving yards in 3 weeks. Keep it going Coby!(Others: Dennis Pitta vs. Oakland, Zach Miller vs. Detroit)FLOPSQB Eli Manning @ MinnesotaThe Viking defense sacked Cam Newton EIIGHT times in Week 3.dddddddddddd. This week, Eli heads to Minnesota to face this Zimmers defense with a sub par offensive line. Over / under 8 sacks? Not a prop bet I want to entertain with Eli on my fantasy starting roster.WR Alshon Jeffery?vs. DetroitJeffery is dealing with a knee and hammy issue. The Bears have a favorable matchup against the Lions, but Jeffery will draw a tough assignment against CB Darius Slay. Have realistic expectations from Alshon in Week 4.RB Matt Forte vs. SeattleThe Jets utilize Forte a ton on offense, but a date with the Seahawks does not sit well with me.TE Jimmy Graham @ New York JetsGraham went 6-for-100 yards and a touchdown last week -- fantasy owners rejoice! But can that type of productivity continue? I need to see it before I believe it. Side note: Jimmy G did not practice Thursday due to knee and back issues.SLEEPERSQB Kirk Cousins?vs. ClevelandCousins finally got it together last week against the G-Men. This week he has a favorable match up against the Browns in DC. Cleveland has allowed gunslingers to throw for over 270 yards and 2 touchdowns each game. I also like how Cousins has added wide receiver Jamison Crowder to the mix in his passing attack.(Honorable mention: Sam Bradford vs. New York Giants, Dak Prescott @ San Francisco)WR Jamison Crowder vs. ClevelandFrom Cousins to Crowder! Crowder is averaging 7 targets a game, and more importantly, many of those come in the red zone. Hes had 2 touchdowns the last two weeks and my gut is telling me that total will elevate to three against the Browns come Sunday.(Honorable mentions: Terrelle Pryor @ Washington, Tyrell Williams vs. New Orleans, Cole Beasley @ San Francisco)RB Jordan Howard?vs. DetroitBears running back Jeremy Langford is out 4-to-6 weeks with an ankle injury, which has opened the door for Howard to run right through it! And I cant wait to see him do it. Howard is the best back on the Bears roster and hes ready to prove it this week against the Lions.(Honorable mentions: Isaiah Crowell vs. Washington)TE Kyle Rudolph vs. New York GiantsI love the way Rudolph is being used in the Vikings offense. The dude has 26 targets so far this season and has developed a nice chemistry with Sam Bradford. Kyle has found the end zone the last two games and he should continue that trend on Monday night against a Giants secondary that is injury riddled.(Honorable mention: Hunter Henry vs. New Orleans)Good luck in Week 4!
