Week 4 NFL Fanduel Hits.

Mr. Smith Destroyed.
I was so huge on Torrey Smith this week that I started him in every Fanduel and DraftStreet league I was in. Sadly some of my Week 4 Misses dragged his amazing return to the endzone into a series of losses for me.

So how many other hits did I get in Week 4? Read on and find out.

Quarterback Hits

Tony Romo
He didn't reach the stars like I expected him to against the Chargers and he was vastly outplayed by opposing QB Philip Rivers, but Romo's 19.26 points were solid enough to earn him a spot in this column.
VERDICT: MODERATE HIT

Brian Hoyer also came through for his buy low owners. Cutler had an okay day.

Running Backs

Bilal Powell 
Powell followed up his stellar Week 3 with an average Week 4. He likely didn't push you over the top for a win, but he did earn his cost.
VERDICT: MODERATE HIT

Danny Woodhead 
Woodhead is the Mary Stewart Masterson (in Some Kind of Wonderful)of the NFL. He's the cool chick who is right under your nose, but you don't see how great she is until Adrian Peterson is a jerk to you in front of his friends Peyton and Calvin. Err.. Yeah Woodhead killed it. He'll do it again too.
VERDICT: HUGE HIT

Wide Receivers

Torrey Smith
Mr. Smith Came to Buffalo and just plain dominated. He got his first TD of the season and racked up 166 on just 5 catches. His deep threat ability showed up Sunday. It will do so again. Keep an eye on the Plays of the Week
VERDICT: HUGE HIT

Pierre Garcon
He didn't put up the gaudy numbers one had hoped, but his 14.9 points provided solid value in Washington's first win of the year. Let's hope the good things continue as RGIII gets his field legs back under him.
VERDICT: HIT

Tight Ends

It is starting to look like Jimmy Graham may be worth the big bucks each and every week, but if you has to go TE on the cheap, how'd my Plays of the Week do?

Charles Clay
Mr. Clay has grown into a steady red zone target for Tannehill's Dolphins. The touchdowns may not happen every week, but the chances should.
VERDICT: BIG HIT

Colby Fleener
When Luck performs well, Fleener seems to get the love. He's a solid cheap TE option week after week.
VERDICT: BIG HIT

Heath Miller
Miller may be the only Steeler worth starting outside Antonio Brown and maybe Le'Veon Bell.
VERDICT: HIT

Kickers

Adam Vinatieri
Reminded me of the Vinatieri of the old New England days.
VERDICT: HUGE HIT

Shaun Suisham
A nice stat line from a cheap kicker helped many win this week.
VERDICT: HIT

Matt Prater
Another 7 extra point day was only marred by the lone field goal. Prater lovers better hope sombody manages to slow down Peyton.
VERDICT: HIT

Defense

Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs outscored many high price running back and wide outs. Further proof that Defenses can win the day.
VERDICT: HUGE HIT.

Verdict Explanations:
  • Huge Hit: Far outplayed their cost. Tops at their position this week.
  • Big Hit: Outplayed their cost. Probably a Top 5 play.
  • Hit: Slightly better than expected. Top 10.
  • Moderate Hit: Worth the investment
