As always lets start with the quarterbacks. Here are 3 guys who should be prime for big performances in week 4.
Quarterbacks
---------------------
Carson Palmer- Cincinnati (Cleveland)
Yes, there should be a Carson Palmer sighting this week. So far this season Palmer has been a bust with a capital "B". But last week he passed for 286 yards and a touchdown vs a very tough New York Giants defense. Plus Palmer owns the Browns.

Meanwhile, Michael Turner will finally get out from under L.T.'s shadow.
The Falcons will be starting rookie Matt Ryan at quarterback and he needs to do just enough to create some room for Turner. Michael showed a lot of flashes subbi...

This is the toughest week to select your starters, because basically you are working from last year's history. Preseason is pretty worthless when it comes to determining which players will shine, and which ones won't.

Texans receiver Andre Johnson is really the shy, unassuming type until you put him on the football field. Then he becomes T.O. without all the talking.
Johnson is a big receiver who can do it all, and now Fantasy Football owners are giving
him his due.
