Must Starts
1. New York Jets - They’re playing the lowly Bills and could have both CB Darrelle Revis and LB Calvin Pace back in the lineup. Expect a huge week from the top ranked fantasy football D/ST in Week 4.
2. Green Bay Packers - LB Clay Mathews should be good for another multiple sack game against the statuesque Shaun Hill and we see the Packers smothering Detroit for much of the afternoon.
3. San Diego Chargers - San Diego is another D/ST that performs much better at home and the Cards don’t travel very well. Look for a dominant outing with a few turnovers in Week 4.
4. New Orleans Saints - The Saints D is looking to rebound from their Week 3 loss and they have an excellent matchup against the Jimmy Clausen led Panthers. Look for them to bounce back with multiple sacks on Sunday.
Next In Line
Indianapolis Colts – The Jaguars are really anemic offensively and the Colts have settled down nicely since their Week 1 showing. Look for multiple sacks from DE Dwight Freeney and Co. and a few turnovers.
Chicago Bears – The Giants have turned the ball over three times in each of the 1st three weeks (10 total). DE Julius Peppers and Co. have done a good job creating turnovers themselves and they’ll force a few more on Sunday Night.
Tennessee Titans - The Titans are playing much better defensively and will have a lot of success playing at home against Kyle Orton and Co.
Rounding Out the List
Cincinnati Bengals – It’s been the Bengals D which has carried the team thus far and they’ll have another solid performance facing the Browns this week.
Atlanta Falcons – The Falcons D played the Saints tough and forced Drew Brees to throw two picks. Now they face Alex Smith…
Pittsburgh Steelers – If Ray Rice is unable to go, the Steelers can focus on taking away the passing game, which they do well. They’ll sack Joe Flacco multiple times and force a few turnovers.
Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens D was looking ahead to this week in their mediocre showing the Browns. QB Charlie Batch won’t be throwing 3 TDs on Sunday. Expect a tough, lowing scoring affair on Sunday.
Philadelphia Eagles - If there’s one QB that the Eagles know how to game plan, it’s Donovan McNabb. Expect Philly to come after their old QB at the Linc.
Fantasy Sleeper of the Week
New York Giants - The Giants are coming off an embarrassing loss but one that their defense actually played well in. They’re beginning to show life under new DC Perry Fewell and QB Jay Cutler is a turnover and sack machine waiting to happen. This makes them a good fantasy sleeper in Week 4.
