Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 4
Here are a few sleeper players that could have an impact in Week 4.
Skyy Moore, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
Moore has slowly started to pick up his play this season and could be emerging as the No. 1 wide receiver option for the Kansas City Chiefs.
He had zero catches in Week 1 but followed that up with three catches and then had four last week against the Chicago Bears. Not only have the catches increased, but the targets have increased each week as well.

This shows that Patrick Mahomes is starting to gain more trust in the second-year receiver from the Western Michigan Broncos. The New York Jets have talked about potentially having Sauce Gardner matched up with Travis Kelce in the game.
If that happens, Moore could have some favorable matchups and continue his trend of more catches every single week.
Jalin Hyatt, WR, New York Giants
It has been a weird start to the season for the rookie from the Tennessee Volunteers, as he has two games with zero catches. In the second game of the year against the Arizona Cardinals, Jalin Hyatt showed his big play potential as he had two catches for 89 yards.
The first catch was a 58-yard play that helped start the New York Giants’ historic comeback against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Giants offense right now isn’t able to produce enough big plays, but Hyatt has shown he has that potential.
The Seattle Seahawks defense has struggled against the pass this year, as Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, and Andy Dalton have all passed for at least 323 yards against them this year.
Seattle is playing great on offense, and you are going to have to put up a lot of points to beat them. Look for the Giants to get their rookie speedster some targets this week, and he will reward them with his first career touchdown.
Ezekiel Elliott, RB, New England Patriots
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Ezekiel Elliott has some revenge in mind when the New England Patriots play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
During his career, he rushed for 8,262 yards and 68 touchdowns as a member against the Cowboys. Now, he is on the Patriots, but his play suggests he may be in store for a big game on Sunday.

He is coming off his best game of the season in the win against the New York Jets, as he rushed 16 times for 80 yards.
The Cowboys are coming off a loss to the Arizona Cardinals, where they gave up 222 yards on 30 carries. Running back James Conner rushed the ball 14 times for 98 yards for the Cardinals.
This figures to be a low-scoring, defensive slugfest, and look for Elliott to get his first touchdown as a Patriot.
Roschon Johnson, RB, Chicago Bears
The rookie running back from the Texas Longhorns carried the ball eight times for 38 yards against the Chiefs, both of which are highs early in his career.
The Chicago Bears hit rock bottom last week, and the Bears are going up against another team that had a tough week in Denver. The Denver Broncos gave up 70 points to the Miami Dolphins and allowed their running backs to go crazy in fantasy football.
Both Devon Achane (18 carries, 203 yards, and two touchdowns) and Raheem Mostert (13 carries, 82 yards, and three touchdowns) had monster days on the ground.
Last Sunday was the first time that Roschon Johnson had more carries than Khalil Herbert, and that trend will continue this week. The Bears aren’t going to put up 70 points like the Dolphins did. However, the Broncos have given up 105 points in the last two weeks, and Johnson is going to benefit with a surprisingly big day.
