NFL Fantasy Football Recap Week 4: Houston Texans at Atlanta Falcons, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, Alfred Blue, Arian Foster, Matt Ryan, Terron Ward

Houston Texans

DeAndre Hopkins/Cecil Shorts (Wide Receivers): Shorts had a pretty big game in week 4 before dislocating his shoulder. He finished the game with 6 catches out of 10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. His partner in crime DeAndre Hopkins ate up yardage in garbage time catching 9 out of 22 targets for 157 yards.

Arian Foster/Alfred Blue/ Chris Polk (Running Backs): Foster made his 2015 debut in week 4 however is getting put into the rotation slowly. Foster had 8 carries for 10 yards and caught 3 out of 5 of his targets for 25 yards and lost a fumble. Alfred Blue could not continue his hot streak on the ground as he was shut down for only 6 carries for 17 yards. The last running back anyone would expect to get into the end zone out of this collective, Chris Polk finished his day with 3 carries for 27 yards and a touchdown; he also caught 3 out of 4 targets for 23 yards.

Atlanta Falcons

Julio Jones/Leonard Hankerson (Wide Receiver): Jones had his first down game of the season thanks in part to Devonta Freeman's stellar performance. Jones was limited to four catches for 38 yards on only 6 targets. The man who led the Falcons in receiving was in fact Leonard Hankerson, the former Washington Redskin gained 103 yards through the air catching 6 of 8 targets and a touchdown. Hankerson has stolen the number 2 wide receiver position from Roddy White.

Devonte Freeman/Terron Ward (Running Back): Freeman had another epic day having 14 carries for 68 yards and 3 touchdowns. Freeman was an absolute monster receiving the ball as well catching 5 out of 6 of his targets for 81 yards. He even took a rest so third stringer Terron Ward had 19 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown. Right now all Falcons running backs need to be owned in fantasy football.

Matt Ryan (Quarterback): Matty Ice kept it pretty clean today completing 19 of 27 pass attempts for 256 yards and a touchdown. Ryan avoided picks all day long and eventually was replaced by his backup after Freeman ran all over the Texans.
