Week 4 Fantasy Football

Welcome back loyal followers, it's that time of the week when we talk about the really important stuff. Fantasy Decisions. Don't you hate it when, after a couple of disappointing weeks in the lineup you bench Matt Schaub and he throws 4 TD passes? We are going to try to make sure that doesn't happen to you.

BEAR GOGGLES
Going up against Detroit's 30th ranked pass defense, Bears QB Jay Cutler is poised to have a big day. Add to that the fact that the Bears will be up a couple of TD's in the fourth qtr., Matt Forte will also finally have a breakout day, running the ball to milk the clock. These two are must starts.

CHIEF CONCERNS
As you know it's all about the matchups. You better know by now that if you have anyone playing against the Chiefs, they should definitely be starting. I'm convinced that one of these days a water boy will score on this pathetic bunch. This week the lucky recipients are the NY football Giants. Eli, Ahmad, and Mario should all be solid this week, along with Steve Smith. And how about that Giants D? The only thing the Chiefs do worse than play defense is move the ball on offense. Also, don't even think about starting LJ or Matt Cassel.

STEELERS ALL CHARGED UP!
The Chargers lax defense only has 3 sacks so far, and Big Ben is one of the hardest QB's to sack anyway. He'll be motivated after a rough 1-2 start, so make sure he's in this week. The Steelers can't run the ball, so he'll be throwing. Fast Willie Parker is still slowed by the turf toe, so our advice is, leave him on the bench.

COWBOYS RIDE INTO DENVER
Marion Barber should be back in prime form and ready to roll. He's averaged 6 yds. a carry so far, and playing against a D that hasn't seen an O-line like the Cowboys'. But let's just settle down on Tashard Choice. Even with Felix Jones out, Choice is still just a back-up. Barber's back, he's the man.

SLEEPERS
Don't forget about Jags QB David Garrard this week. He's got some nice targets to throw to, and Tennessee is 29th against the pass. And the Titans will load up the box to stop MJD. Texans wideout Kevin Walter should have a nice day against the Raiders, with Asomugha concentrating on Andre Johnson. Walter had 7 catches for 96 yds. and a TD in his debut. Also if he's still available, put on your black Barista apron and grab Glen Coffee. This kid will shine with oft injured Frank Gore out of the lineup.

CAUTION FLAGS
Normally our advice is, if you have one of the top 2-3 players at any position, play them regardless of the matchup, however, with WR Marques Colston going against Jets CB Darrelle Revis, proceed with caution. Revis has already shut down Andre Johnson (35 yds.) and Randy Moss (24 yds.) Also, when considering Ryan Grant against the Vikes, remember they have not given up a rushing TD all year.
