Week 4 brings our first byes and with some key player injuries in Week 3, the waiver wire should provide some piece of mind.
You should pick up:
Kevin Walter (WR, Texans)
The number two guy in Houston, Kevin Walter could be a good wide out to fill a W/R spot if your go-to starter is on bye this week. After missing the first two games of the year with a hamstring injury, Walter had seven catches for an impressive 96 receiving yards and one touchdown in the Texans' loss to the Jaguars. Look to Walter this week when Houston hosts the Raiders.
Glen Coffee (RB, 49ers)
After Frank Gore's two 80-yard runs in Week 2 he fell early in the game against Minnesota with an ankle injury. Coffee should pick up his slack and more. He got 25 carries against Minnesota's tough run defense for 54 yards. He'll explode all over St. Louis.
Bengals Defense
Holding both Green Bay and Pittsburgh to under 50 points total in Weeks 2 and 3, the Bengals D has been a huge surprise. Look for them to tear the Browns apart in an easily winnable AFC North matchup.
Brent Celek (TE, Eagles)
Even though the Eagles will sit this next week out, Brent Celek is still a good pickup. He has the second most yards by a tight end in the league, including two back-to-back 100-yard games. He is one of Kevin Kolb's favorite targets and once McNabb gets back he's sure to put up even more points.
Drop it like it's hot:
Larry Johnson (RB, Chiefs)
Johnson is getting old and with only 136 yards this season and no touchdowns, the only player on the Chiefs worth owning is no longer worth owning. Kansas City will go 0-4 versus the Giants' number 1-ranked defense this week.
Byron Leftwich (QB, Buccs)
After putting up some impressive numbers in the first two weeks, Leftwich completed only 7 of 16 passes for under 100 yards in Sunday's shutout against the Giants. In addition to being embarrassed at home, Leftwich has not only been replaced as a starter by Josh Johnson, but benched as an inactive number-three quarterback behind Josh Freeman as well. He gets the Chef Evan Award this week for Farthest and Hardest Fall.
Justin Gage/Nate Washington (WR, Titans)
I don't trust Tennessee's passing game. Last year they went unbeaten in the first 11 weeks of the season with help from their wide outs Gage and Washington, but they just can't put it together this season. They'll lose this week to the Jaguars, a mediocre team themselves in a yawn-fest of a division matchup.
Till next week, GO COWBOYS!
