Fantasy stars and stiffs from Week 4

Fantasy stars, stiffs and surprises of Week 4 through Sunday's games. And do you think Carolina wishes it held on to Josh Norman?

Came up big

*Julio Jones, WR, Falcons: Just the second receiver this century – and the sixth ever – to record 300 receiving yards. He looked like the football equivalent of Steph Curry when Curry toys with opponents.

*Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons: A receiver can't get 300 without help and Ryan became the 17th quarterback to throw for 500+ yards in a game. Ryan had 503 and four TDs. They are the first 500-300 combo in NFL history.

*Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers: Had five TD passes and five incompletions against the Chiefs. Whew. Makes what the Eagles defense did to the Steelers in Week 3 even more impressive.

*Michael Crabtree, WR, Raiders: Just 88 yards, but three of his seven catches were touchdowns.

*Will Fuller, WR, Texans: Seven grabs, 85 yards, one touchdown receiving, another on a punt return. From Roman Catholic to Notre Dame to AFC's top rookie.

*A.J. Green, WR, Bengals: Had 10 catches for 173 yards and a score on Thursday against Miami.

Let us down

*Golden Tate, WR, Lions: One catch, one yard. Against the Bears. He's done nothing all year.

*DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Texans: One catch on six targets for four yards. Four yards!

*Latavius Murray, RB, Raiders: Carried the ball eight times for 19 yards. He's been mediocre all year, but at least he scored touchdowns in each of the first three games. No dice in Week 4.

*Todd Gurley, RB, Falcons: Managed just 33 yards on 19 rushing attempts. Did have five catches for 49 yards.

*Matt Forte, RB, Jets: Gained just 27 yards on 14 carries; it's best to try to avoid RBs playing against Seattle.

*Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots: Two targets, one catch, 11 yards. Play at Cleveland in Week 5. The Browns were scorched by Redskins tight end Jordan Reed for 9-73-2.

*Amari Cooper, WR, Raiders: While the Ravens let Crabtree get loose, they held Cooper to 5-48-0.

Where'd he come from?

*John Kuhn, FB, Saints: Vultured Mark Ingram out of two one-yard rushing TDs and a four-yard passing score.

*John Brown, WR, Cardinals: Had 10 catches for 144 yards on 16 targets. All were more than Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd combined.

*Dontrelle Inman, WR, Chargers: Went for 7-120-1 for the first 100-yard game of his three-year career. The Saints did bottle up Travis Benjamin (4-48-0).

*Brian Hoyer, QB, Bears: Threw for 302 yards, two scores and did not turn it over in leading the Bears to their first win. How can Chicago go back to Jay Cutler?

Waive Hello

Some players bound to be popular on the waiver wire this week:

*Terrance West, RB, Ravens

*John Brown, WR, Cardinals

*Hunter Henry, TE, Chargers

*Brian Hoyer, QB, Bears

*Brian Quick, WR, Rams

Did you notice?

*Matt Ryan's monster against Carolina dropped the ranking of the Panthers pass defense from fifth in the league to 18 following Sunday's games.

*Le'Veon Bell ran for 144 yards and had 23 touches in the Steelers rout of the Chiefs. DeAngelo Williams had just five touches for nine yards, but scored a TD.

*Jamaal Charles had two carries in his first action of the season. Kansas City has a bye in Week 5, so the Chiefs running back job is likely going to be muddled.

*The Panthers have horses such as Kelvin Benjamin, Greg Olsen, Devin Funchess and Ted Ginn Jr., but it was Fozzy Whittaker who led them with nine receptions.
