This time of year is when fantasy football owners must be aware of not only the injury report, but also what teams are playing as the bye weeks have started.
Here’s an early look at the quarterback rankings in week 4 and for those looking for help, the top sleeper option behind center this weekend.
Andrew Luck finally got things going in the fourth quarterback against Tennessee on Sunday and now gets ready for Jacksonville, who got hammered by New England in week 3. Luck should have an easy time against the Jags’ and 18-24 points should be in the cards for the Indianapolis signal caller.
Green Bay hits the road in week 4, but with Aaron Rodgers taking on a 49ers defense that has struggled the past two weeks, the Packers should continue rolling on offense. Fantasy football owners with the All Pro on their roster shouldn’t hesitate to start the veteran against San Francisco and 20+ points are in order.
Carson Palmer is having a terrific start to the 2015 NFL season and his Cardinals are looking like a Super Bowl contender. This week they face St Louis, who has a solid defense, but with the Rams struggling offensively, it should give the Cards’ plenty of scoring opportunities and a solid week of points for the veteran QB.
Owners looking for help off the waiver wire have some good options this week. The best sleeper is Oakland Raiders youngster Derrick Carr, who’s guided the Silver and Black to a 2-1 start and has developed a good relationship with rookie wide out Amari Cooper.
The Raiders face a struggling Chicago Bears squad, who is without QB Jay Cutler and just made a trade to send their top defensive starter to New England for a late round draft choice.
