The Fantasy Football Week 4 begins and is: Studs, duds and sleepers

NFL Week 4 and the fantastic football season are here and as always, we have this week's studs, duds and sleepers.

Make sure the USA TODAY Sports ranking also helps you and good luck!

QB Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons

You can call me strong captain for choosing the guy who threw five touchdowns last week. But let's not forget that his first two weeks were months. I'm willing to bet that Ryan will play another big week against a Bengals under-10 defensive team.

RB Giovani Bernard, Bengals of Cincinnati

The Falcons yield 125.7 yards per game. Add to that the fact that Bernard catches a lot of passes out of the field and you have a recipe for RB1 numbers.

WR Jarvis Landry, Cleveland Browns

Baker Mayfield will throw him the stone and we saw how it helped Landry to play a 100-yard game last week. On the road against the Raiders, Landry should find this number.

TE Trey Burton, Chicago Bears

If you wait patiently for a big game Burton, it looks like such: the Bucs have abandoned the most fantastic points for tight ends so far (by ESPN).

QB Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions

The Cowboys are fourth in the NFL against the pass and you have to wonder if the Lions will further balance their offensive attack after Kerryon Johnson had a 100 yard day. Stafford is always achievable, but tempers your expectations.

RBs Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans

The Eagles are announcing as a kind of "DO NOT BEGIN TO RIVER AGAINST" team in 2018. They are giving 61.7 rushing yards per game. Maybe Lewis is catching passes, but you'd be smart to stay away from him and Henry in this one.

WR Brandin Cooks, Los Angeles Rams

Xavier Rhodes will probably cover the deep threat, so do not expect another big game from the veteran.

TE George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers

Not only are the Chargers very good at defending tight opponents, but Kittle will now receive passes from C.J. Beathard, who is unfortunately not Jimmy Garoppolo.

Earrings

QB Eli Manning, New York Giants

He nearly reached 300 yards on the road against the Texans last week to go along with two touchdowns, and now he must welcome a Saints defense that has yielded 337 yards in the air per game, a 30th place in the NFL .

Chris Carson, Seattle Seahawks

Look: He finished with 102 yards and a touchdown last week. Although it took 32 races to get there, it's a good sign. He is now ranked 29th in the NFL with a trip to Arizona.

WR John Brown, Baltimore Ravens

The Steelers were awful against the pass and Brown has played three consecutive fantasy games, as well as 19 targets in his last two games. Stick it in your queues of hope in the hope that it will continue to receive the attention of Joe Flacco.

TE Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati Bengals

After a day of six 74-yard defeats, he could be a frequent target in a potential shootout against the Falcons.
