Wednesday Evening Edition
Week 4 Sunday Lineup Killers
Week 4 was more like Black Sunday for many
fantasy owners, as a lot of big names just didn't show up. Leading the way of
the demise was the Falcons Matt Ryan. This was his second consecutive sub-par
performance. In Week 3 he threw three picks and here in week 4 Ryan finished as
the No.27 fantasy QB; not what owners signed up for when they drafted him as
the No.4/5 QB.
Quarterbacks
Matt Ryan: 242 pa yds, 1 td, 2 int
Derek Carr: 143 pa yds, 1 td
Matthew Stafford: 209 pa yds, 0 tds
Ben Roethlisberger: 216 pa yds, 1 td, 1
int
It's simple in New England, if running
back Mike Gillislee doesn't find the endzone he's going to crush your fantasy
lineup. Since his big breakout Week 1 three-touchdown performance, he's only
scored in double digits once, back in week 2. The Patriots have been caught up
in some high scoring matchups, but they do most of their damage through the
air. Gillislee's totals for Week 4, 49 rushing yards. That's not going to help
too many fantasy owners going forward
Running
backs
Jonathan Stewart: 68 ru yds, 1 Fum

DeMarco Murray: 31 ru yds, 2 rec, 4 rec

Jay Ajayi: 46 ru yds, 8-yd rec
This is the second consecutive sub-par
week and the third in four games for wide receiver Martavis Bryant. He's only
topped 50 yards once this season and has had no more than 3 receptions in any
game this season. I'm sure Martavis, along with fantasy owners hope he'll break
this trend soon, but don't look for it this week. Next up for Bryant is
Jacksonville and their No.1 passing defense.
Wide
Receivers
Martavis Bryant: 3 rec, 48 rec yds
Rishard Matthews: 3 rec, 49 rec yds
Adam Thielen:5 rec, 59 rec yds, 1 Fum
It's time to put the Chargers tight end
Antonio Gates on the shelf. He's definitely fallen down the pecking order
behind the trio of Chargers receivers; Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, and
Travis Benjamin. Gates may bounce back here and there , but with just 3 catches
for 18 yards in Week 4 (the No.28 fantasy TE) he can no longer be trusted as a
fantasy starter.
Tight
Ends
Delanie Walker: 3 rec, 51 rec yds
Coby Fleener: 2 rec, 21 rec yds
Jack Doyle: 5 rec, 27 rec yds
Antonio Gates: 3 rec, 18 rec yds
That’s My Take
