Before I get to my Week Four selections, let’s check last week’s picks for accuracy. 

Good Starts from Week Three:

LeSean McCoy, RB (PHI):  McCoy got the start in Brian Westbrook’s absence, finishing with 20 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown.

David Garrard, QB (JAC):  Although he didn’t record a passing touchdown, he did pass for 218 yards and had a rushing touchdown.

Pierre Garcon, WR (IND):  Peyton Manning continued to look Garcon’s way, connecting with him for three catches and one touchdown.

Bad Starts from Week Three:

Lee Evans, WR (BUF):  The game wasn’t as much of a shootout as I thought it would be and the Bills continued to struggle in the passing game.

Dustin Keller, TE (NYJ):  Keller recorded only two receptions for 24 yards against a sub-par passing defense.

Clinton Portis, RB (WAS):  Portis produced another poor performance with only 42 yards rushing against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Good Sits from Week Three:

Frank Gore, RB (SF):  If you took my advice and sat him last week, I’m sure you were thanking me.  He got injured on his first carry of the game and didn’t return after that.

Carnell Williams, RB (TB):  Williams ran the ball only twice for eight yards, need I say more?

Eddie Royal, WR (DEN):  Royal was practically nonexistent in the Broncos offense, recording only one reception for four yards.

Bad Sits from Week Three:

Kevin Smith, RB (DET):  Smith proved me wrong, rushing for over 100 yards against a good rush defense in the Redskins.

Julius Jones, RB (SEA):  In the absence of Matt Hasselbeck, the offense seemed to run through Jones.  He finished with 98 yards rushing, 38 yards receiving, and one touchdown.

Willie Parker, RB (PIT):  Parker proved all his critics wrong, rushing for 93 yards and recording a receiving touchdown.

Here is my Week Four list of who to start and who to sit:
