Football Hotpage > Week 4 – Bye-ing Time

Week Four is a fascinating week for fantasy football. Sure, we have all had to deal with bye weeks ever since the NFL went to a 17-week schedule. But I do not recall a time where so much firepower was forced to the bench at one time. Six teams are off, with many of the fantasy studs off right from the start. The Colts, Patriots, Seahawks, Giants, Lions, and Dolphins are down for the week. Finding replacements is going to be downright difficult. Follow your league waiver wire closely and use the rankings below to help you with free agent acquisitions.

Good luck to all this fantasy football season!
