Bye Week Helpers For Week 4

Shaun Hill San Francisco 49er’s

NFL odds are not pretty for the St. Louis Rams this weekend. The 49er’s had their hearts broken last week by a guy named Brett Favre and will want a little revenge. Shaun Hill is looking for his third straight game against St. Louis with at least 2 touchdown passes in what looks to be a blood bath. The 49er’s are not looked at as a passing team, but when facing an opponent that allows an average of 255 yards per game you can’t overlook the match-up.

Derek Anderson, QB Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals game is one of the few NFL Week 4 match-ups that pits division rivals against each other, and it should be an interesting contest. On one hand, many people want to give the Bengals a lot of credit for toppling the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers over the last few weeks, but it might be premature to start hopping on the Bengals Super Bowl odds.

Derek Anderson will get the nod for Cleveland this week and given his track record against the Bengals, he’s worth a look if you are in dire need of a starting quarterback.

Anderson has played three games against Cincinnati in his career and he has a quarterback rating of 82.9 against the Bengals. Fantasy players will be more interested to know that he has eight touchdown passes in those three contests and has averaged 239 passing yards per game.

Dustin Keller, TE New York Jets

Many a sports betting blog were high on Jets tight end Dustin Keller entering the season, but the results have been mixed. After notching four catches for 94 yards in the first game, Keller has just five catches for 46 yards in the last two weeks.

The Jets are going to be in a shootout this week, no matter how much they try to control the clock and pace of the game. The Saints will score, which means the Jets will have to match them. As the Jets look more to the air, look for Sanchez to rebuild his strong connection this week with Keller for over 50 yards and a touchdown.
