Fantasy football Week 4 is here and some pickup players, starters and sleeper waiver options for this weekend include names like Devonta Freeman, Travis Benjamin, Karlos Williams, Ted Ginn, Robert Woods, Alfred Blue, Ameer Abdullah, Jordan Matthews, Melvin Gordon, Gary Barnidge, Coby Fleener, Ty Montgomery, James Jones and Leonard Hankerson.
Teams are dealing with injuries heading into the weekend and with players like LeSean McCoy, Ryan Mathews, Davante Adams, Drew Brees and Andrew Luck banged up, fantasy owners need to be aware of who will end up starting. The Buffalo Bills are expected to be without LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins on Sunday and that makes Karlos Williams a great option for fantasy owners. Tevin Coleman is likely out for the Falcons, giving Devonta Freeman a boost, while Mathews could step up even if DeMarco Murray is back from his injury/
Freeman had a huge game last week and that makes him a strong fantasy addition for teams this week. Freeman had nearly 200 total yards and scored twice for the Falcons and now he could be the top option even if Coleman returns from injury. Freeman has 184 rushing yards this season and he has been strong out of the backfield with 12 catches and that makes him a good PPR fantasy starter as well. Last week Freeman had three touchdowns and had 141 yards rushing against the Cowboys.
Travis Benjamin has been a nice surprise for the Browns and for fantasy owners, as he has five touchdowns already this season. Benjamin has some added value as a return man and he has one score that way and he also has four touchdowns on just 10 catches this season. Benjamin hasn't put up great numbers for a PPR player, but he has shown explosiveness while averaging 24 yards per catch with 249 yards this season. Benjamin is worth a look and is a top option for the Browns at WR now and is the most explosive player on offense.

Ted Ginn comes in as the best WR option for the Panthers, as Devin Funchess has not been able to do much while dealing with injuries and Kelvin Benjamin is out for the season. Ginn comes in after having his best game of the season with four catches for 93 yards and he should continue to get looks from Cam Newton on offense. Ginn has upside and he comes in with 10 catches for 188 yards in three games this season.
Alfred Blue comes in with another chance to have a solid game, as Arian Foster is not a lock to return and even if he does, he likely will be limited. Blue had 139 yards last week and a TD for his best game of the season and the Texans could try and work the hot hand in Week 4. Blue is a solid handcuff for Foster when he returns. Robert Woods could get a nice boost if Sammy Watkins can't go on Sunday and with the Giants secondary banged up, he could have a good game. Woods comes in with nine catches for 125 yards this season, but this could be his best chance for a breakout.
