Week 4

Remember when I said that wide receiver performance is more variable than that of any other position? That was during Week 3 when there were 13 wide receivers with over 100 yards. This week, there are just six wide receivers with over 100 yards entering Monday night's Detroit Lions-Seattle Seahawks game. Familiar names Vincent Jackson and DeAndre Hopkins scored the second- and fifth-most points for wideouts this week, respectively. However, the leading scorer for all receivers right now is the St. Louis Rams' Tavon Austin. Allen Hurns and Leonard Hankerson round out the top five. Don't worry, I had to look Hankerson up, too.

Notably, Larry Fitzgerald caught seven balls for 99 yards, continuing his renaissance season. Unfortunately for owners, the lack of a touchdown and a fumble ruined what would have otherwise been another productive game.

We saw Michael Vick tank on in his first start this season, albeit against a solid Baltimore defense. He is clearly incapable of maintaining even a semblance of the prolific Pittsburgh Steelers' offense. An uptick in touches for Le'Veon Bell should offset a reduction in efficiency. The same cannot be said for Antonio Brown, who saw his streak of games with at least five catches for 50 yards end at 36.

The jury is no longer out on Todd Gurley, whose impressive 161 yards from scrimmage this week had me eating my words from last week. He can flat out run, and if the Rams keep games close, he will be a top-20 RB.

With Rob Gronkowski and the New England Patriots on their bye week it is unsurprising that the tight end position tanked this week. Martellus Bennett steamrolled the Oakland Raiders for 11 catches, 83 yards and a touchdown to lead all tight ends -- Coby Fleener had an identical line minus two catches. It is actually inexplicable how bad the Raiders are at guarding tight ends. Tyler Eifert rocked them for 104 yards and two TDs in Week 1, then Baltimore's Crockett Gillmore garnered 88 yards and two TDs. And in Week 3 Cleveland's Gary Barnidge bested his line from the entire 2012 season, in which he played 16 games, earning 105 yards and a TD. Based on Barnidge's production, Denver tight end Owen Daniels is a safe bet for at least 50 yards and a TD. I wish I were joking.

Frankly, this was the week of the kicker. The issue with kickers is that strategizing for them comes down to whether or not a) they play in a dome, b) their offense scores a lot of points and c) they can actually kick. Anecdotally, I've found that most people just default to their favorite team's kicker. Kicker scoring rant temporarily tabled, there were some incredible performances this week.

Kansas City's Kairo Santos hit seven field goals including two 50-yard-plus kicks, good for 27 points in most leagues. I would like to point out that he had 18 points total in the three weeks prior. Arizona's Chandler Catanzaro kicked four field goals and made a PAT to earn 17 points. His prior three-week total was 23. In summary, seven kickers averaged over 10 PPG through Week 3 and when you tack on the Week 4 numbers, the difference between kickers becomes even slimmer. Frankly, if my kicker puts up 27 points and I win my matchup because of it, I'm sending my opponent an apology letter. That said, I may just be sour about Josh Brown's missed PAT.
