NFL Overreactions Week 4
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down some of the biggest games from NFL week 4.
Sports Seriously
Defenses have largely been ahead of offenses so far this NFL season, with the Green Bay Packers leading the way in turnovers forced (12) and the Minnesota Vikings topping the league in sacks (17). However, the Denver Broncos are a surprising second in sacks and third overall in fantasy points. Playing the Las Vegas Raiders at home on Sunday, the Broncos top our D/ST rankings for Week 5.
ON BYE: Detroit, Philadelphia, Tennessee, L.A. Chargers
Fantasy football rankings are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. Six points are awarded for defensive and kick return touchdowns. Two points are awarded for safeties and one half point is awarded for sacks.
Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
