This is the fourth week of the fantastic football season. If you are looking for an unexpected replacement or an inexpensive starter for your daily programming, here are some players who could help you.

These deep sleepers are players who fly under the radar and whose matches suggest they could participate in much of the fourth week.

QB Case Keenum, Denver Broncos

After a strong start in the first week, Keenum has not thrown a touchdown in the last two games. This week, Keenum faces a defense against the Kansas City Chiefs pass, averaging 375 yards and two touchdowns per game. Chiefs occupy the first rank of authorized passes. Keenum should go out and is available in most leagues.

RB Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers

Despite the absence of the first two games of the season, Jones carried the ball six times for 42 yards in the third week.

The Packers play the Buffalo Bills, which allow more than 100 yards at all goals per game to return to their opponents and are tied for most touchdowns allowed to six. Jones is a solid game against a weak defense.

WR Antonio Callaway, Cleveland Browns

As a starter, Callaway was targeted 10 times in the third week. He would have scored a touchdown if it was not for a bad throw from his junior quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

The Browns are facing a team from Oakland Raiders who are struggling to defend wide receivers, especially in the red zone. That resulted in six touchdowns total and over 200 yards per game at the position. Callaway should have a solid week and a score of 60 to 80 yards. It is available in most leagues.

TE Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens

Andrews has been the Ravens' best pass so far, capturing eight of his 11 goals for 107 yards and a touchdown. This week, Andrews should be part of the Ravens game plan as they face a Pittsburgh Steelers team that will give 80 yards and one touchdown per game to tight goals. It is available in almost all leagues.

Arizona Cardinals defense / special teams

With the move to Josh Rosen at quarterback, the Cardinals should do a better job of keeping their defense off the court. In Week 4, the Cardinals take on the Seattle Seahawks' offensive line, leading the league with the largest number of bags allowed (14). This game has the character of a defensive battle.
