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.
*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.
