NFL Sunday Week 4:
Sunday’s Heroes
Another wild weekend in the NFL. 70 points weren’t scored in any games this weekend, but there were plenty of close games, fantastic finishes, Overtime thrillers, and one team returning back to earth.
As is the case in the NFL every weekend there are performances to remember. In Buffalo there were the five touchdowns by Josh Allen (4 pass, 1 run), in Tennessee the return of King Henry (122 yards rushing and a touchdown), and in Indianapolis the Legend of Puka continues (9 receptions, 163 yards receiving, and a touchdown). NFL Sunday Week 4 was just another great day filled with great performances by some great players.
These are just some of those NFL Week 4 Sunday Heroes.
QB, Anthony Richardson (Colts) - In week 4 Richardson was special. He led the Colts back from a 23-point deficit and did it with both his arm and legs. Richardson passed for 200 yards and threw two touchdowns in the comeback, while rushing for 56 yards and scored another touchdown. For the second time this season he has finished as a Top-5 fantasy quarterback, in week 4 he finished the day as the fantasy QB2. There’s some risk of injury with Richardson that we’ve seen this season, but he’s entered the must-start conversation with his leg production.
RB, Kyren Williams (Rams) - The Rams running back was the fantasy RB3 on Sunday, posting Top-10 fantasy numbers for the third time in four games. Against the Colts Williams rushed for 103 yards, added two rushing touchdowns, while catching three passes for another 24 yards receiving. His 28 touches (25 carries and three receptions) were his highest total for the season. We’ve seen enough from Williams this season, he’s the lead back in Los Angeles and a must-start.
WR, Nico Collins (Texans) - The Texans wide receiver rose from the week 3 ashes and had another solid performance on Sunday. Collins has been terrific much of the season and in Week 4 he did not disappoint, putting up Top-3 fantasy receiver numbers. The Texans wideout was targeted 9 times, recording 7 receptions for 168 yards receiving and two touchdowns. A bounce back performance for Nico and a definitive statement, he’s a WR-1, and should be in your lineup every week.
TE, Jonnu Smith (Falcons) - The Falcons other tight end Jonnu Smith has been surprisingly good for fantasy owners this season. On Sunday he connected with the Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder for 6 receptions, for 95 yards receiving, finishing the day as fantasy TE3. This season Smith has been targeted 20 times (one fewer than tight end Kyle Pitts) and has more receptions (15) and yards receiving (179) than teammate Pitts. Jonnu may be the tight end to start in Atlanta.
IDP-DL, Maxx Crosby (Raiders) - The Raiders pass rushing defensive end had an afternoon on Sunday week 4. Crosby was a disruptor all afternoon, recording 5 solo tackles, 3 assists, 2 sacks, 2 QB hits, and 2 tackles for loss. His engine had no quit.
IDP-LB, Kahlil Mack (Chargers) - The Chargers pass rush specialist was in full beast mode on Sunday terrorizing the Raiders rookie quarterback Aiden O’Connell. Mack sacked the quarterback six times and added 8 solo tackles, 2 assists, 5 tackles for loss, 4 QB hits, 1 pass defense and 2 forced fumbles. He was a complete terror on Sunday.
IDP-DB, Antoine Winfield Jr (Buccaneers) - The Buccaneers defensive back was big on the day, causing mischief and raising havoc on the field. Winfield was busy on the afternoon recording 6 solo tackles, 3 assists, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 QB hit, 1 pass defense, 1 forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
That's my take!
