Fantasy Watch: Week 4

Welcome back to my blog!

What better way to come back than to talk some Fantasy Football?

By now, it's easy to see who the key producers are so far this season Fantasy wise. However, there are still a few guys out there who are productive and may be going unnoticed.

Jacksonville kicker Josh Scobee has been one of the most consistent kickers in the league in recent years and isn't slowing down this year.

I know what you're thinking. Why put too much thought in your kicker, right? Well, if you were smart enough to pick up Scobee as your kicker (like I was) at the beginning of the season, you would be the beneficiary of 10 extra point and seven field goals, including two over 50 yards.

If you have a kicker who can score you a lot of points each week (much like Scobee did today vs. Tennessee) it could mean the difference between a win and loss. And who wants to lose a game by just a few points? Not me.
Denver running back Correll Buckhalter has been pleasantly productive in filling in for rookie Knowshon Moreno when he was dealing with his injury at the beginning of the season. He has rushed for 230 yards and touchdown so far and is averaging 76.7 yards a game, a pretty respectable number. He can be trusted in deeper league's if you are in need of running back help.

With Moreno back, he'll likely split carries but still put up decent fantasy numbers

Jacksonville has another hidden gem in wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker. He has 19 catches for 278 yards so far, including a break-out week against the Titans where he caught seven passes for 91 yards and 2 touchdowns. Sims-Walker appears to be the No. 1 targer it Jacksonville and is a tremendous young talent with a lot of upside.

If he's still available in your league, pick him up now.
