Fantasy Football Week 4: Sit Tom Brady?
Ryan Mayer
There are always surprises in fantasy football through the early part of the season, and this year is no different. The names that litter the top of the leaderboard in fantasy points this year aren't necessarily ones we're used to seeing. Jared Goff, Patrick Mahomes and Ryan Fitzpatrick are the top QBs to this point. Raise your hand if you saw that coming... Alright, put your hand down, liars.
The point is there are often guys who we don't expect who blow up for huge fantasy days on a week-in, week-out basis. This week, as usual, the CBSSports.com experts Dave Richard and Heath Cummings are here to try and pick out the guys who are in for huge days come Sunday.
We begin with another surprising QB performer so far this year: Andy Dalton.
