It's often said that misery loves company, but sometimes company eases misery. Whether it's a bad vacation bond or a mutual fantasy football fail, there's something cathartic about knowing we're not solo in our struggles. So, when a Detroit sports fan called into the Facts vs Feelings voicemail line seeking lineup advice and a potential love connection, I listened. Luke from Los Angeles reached out, and I'm good friends with an unattached Lions Baddie. The two bonded over David Montgomery's slumping fantasy stats and their complicated fondness for Matthew Stafford. They stayed open to possibility, even if the only payout was a good story. It's a lesson for all of us: stay bold in our choices. They may not all end in immediate triumph, but the plot twists could make for a winning journey.

Week 4 Start-Sit decisions: Trevor Lawrence investors have reason to sound off after the Jags quarterback took a knee at the 1-yard line with eight minutes left against New England. Had he scored, he'd be averaging 19.3 fantasy points through three games. Regardless, Lawrence has thrown seven TD passes over three weeks, posting a career-high completion percentage of 67 and a career-low off-target rate of 9%. He should slay in Week 4 against the Bengals, who have faced the third-most pass attempts.
