St. Louis Rams

Todd Gurley (Running Back): Gurley made his season debut for the St. Louis Rams and it was quite the performance. Fantasy owners were thinking Gurley would be fragile and timid against one of the best defenses in the league however this was not the case. Gurley would rack up 146 yards on 19 carries and 2 receptions for 15 yards in his first game of the season. Gurley is going to be used heavily from now on in this Rams offensive attack and that might be a dangerous thing for the rest of the league.

Tavon Austin (Wide Receiver): Austin had what could be the best game of his career in week 4 as he caught 6 out of 7 targets for 96 yards and 2 touchdowns. Austin will continue to be one of the premier weapons in this offense.

Arizona Cardinals

Larry Fitzgerald/John Brown (Wide Receivers): Fitzgerald had a solid day catching 7 out of 9 targets for 99 yards but stayed out of the end zone. I am sure Fitzgerald owners are not complaining about 99 yards considering he was pretty much an afterthought at that point in the season. Brown had a solid day catching 7 out of 10 targets for 75 yards and a carry of 13 yards.

Chris Johnson/David Johnson (Running Backs): Chris Johnson had a productive day running the ball gaining 83 yards on 16 carries and caught all 3 of his targets for 11 yards. Johnson has done more than the Cardinals could have ever imagined he would. David Johnson was getting chewed out for fumbling the ball and playing like a rookie however that rookie has made some big plays this season. David Johnson finished the game with 3 carries for 18 yards but caught 4 out of his 10 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown.

Carson Palmer (Quarterback): Palmer struggled a little bit more than he has before in this week 4 matchup. The Rams defensive line got a ton of penetration and it affected the timing of his throws. Palmer would finish the game going 29 of 46 from the field and gained 352 yards and a touchdown but did have an interception.
