Week 4 - Bound to be a big one

Welcome back fantasy fanatics, Week 4 is upon us and our teams are finally settling in, waiver wires are hot, and trading blocks are active. Have you made the moves to make your team great? First let's dive into the awards from last week.

WEEK 3 AWARDS:

MVP: Dree Brees (NO) and Antonio Brown (PIT)
I had to award both players with co-MVP's, mainly because they scored the same amount of points in normal ESPN settings. Seconly looking at their statistics, mind-blowing: Brees threw for 342 yards with 3 passing TD's and add on 1 rushing TD that surprised Brees himself. Antonio Brown on the other hand almost broke the 200 yard receiving barrier, by having 9 catches for 196 yards, and 2 TD's. Although the Steelers did not win, that is an mind-bottling performance.
 Bust of the Week: Arian Foster (HOU)
I wish I was able to tell you what is going on with Foster this year. Yes, I know he is coming back from that injury but he is an elite RB regardless. 12 rushes for 54 yards and ZERO TD's against a weaker Baltimore defense that we have seen in the past. In general, the Texans aren't clicking as a team at this point of the year. And with the Seahawks this week, don't expect any big from Foster. I would keep him on your bench for Week 4.

Sleeper of the Week: Josh Gordon (CLE)
Trade your best player away, start a back-up quarterback, already have a sub-par team, and win? How does that make sense. Jordan Cameron came out big again, but the unexpected start emerged, Josh Gordon. Gordon went off for 10 catches for 146 yards and 1 TD in their 31-27 win over the Vikings.

Week 4 predictions: 

Star of the Week: Adrian Peterson
Playing in London, the one superstar on the field... He is going to show England how America plays football, expect a huge game from AP.
 Prediction: 150 yards rushing, 3 rushing TD's

Sleeper of the Week: Lamar Miller (MIA)
I'm predicting the Lamar Miller will find his grove on the big stage on Monday Night, with the Saints allowing an average of 98 yards/game rushing and with the unpredictable passing game of Tannehill, Miller will get the touches and the opportunity.
Prediction: 100 yards rushing, 2 total TD's

Bust of the Week: LeSean McCoy
After a strong Week 1 and 3 by McCoy, don't expect those numbers against the Broncos, IN DENVER! He will put up average numbers, but not over 100 yards total.
Prediction: 80 total yards, 1 TD

Bold Prediction:
Darren McFadden scores 4 total TD's against a weak Washington defense resulting in a Raider win.

Good luck to everyone and remember to ask lineup and trade questions to @NFLFantasyHub
