Fantasy Football Week 3 Injury Report: 3 Banged-Up Stars Sure To Shine in Week 4

It's only inevitable that some of your fantasy football stars will get banged up throughout the course of the season, given the physical nature of the NFL.

But that doesn't mean they can't still produce coming off an injury.

Here are three banged-up stars sure to shine in Week 4.

3. Peyton Hillis, RB, Cleveland Browns

Peyton Hillis, who missed Week 3 with strep throat, racked up 94 yards rushing and two touchdowns against the Indianapolis Colts, putting to rest any thoughts of him being a one-year wonder.

Hillis will most likely make it back to the field in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans and running behind that young, up-and-coming offensive line should see him break out once again.

The Titans have been good against the run this season, giving up 3.3 yards per carry before limiting the Denver Broncos to 59 yards rushing, but Hillis is a fantasy star you don't sit, especially with the offensive line he has. Start him and start him with confidence.

2. Dez Bryant, WR, Dallas Cowboys

Dez Bryant is questionable headed into Monday night's game with a quad injury, but he should be good to go against the Detroit Lions in Week 4.

Bryant is an explosive player, as he showed when he racked up 13 fantasy points against the New York Jets in Week 1. The Lions are in the middle of the pack when it comes to allowed completion percentage, and Bryant is a receiver you start without hesitation when he's healthy. Unless he tweaks his quad in Week 3, start Bryant against the Lions with quarterback Tony Romo tossing him the ball.

1. Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys

There's always the risk of Tony Romo re-aggravating his fractured ribs during the game, but it's hard not to start a player who has racked up 41 fantasy points in two weeks.

Romo has always been a solid fantasy player throughout the years, and now he appears to be ridding his late-game demons after a thrilling come-from-behind victory against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. Unless he re-aggravates his injury in Week 3 against the Washington Redskins, start Romo with confidence.
