Fantasy Football Week 4: 3 Sleepers Who Need to Start on Your Team This Week

The key to winning fantasy football every week isn't having better players than your opponent, it's knowing who to start.

Sure, Adrian Peterson is going to put up huge numbers every week. That's a no-brainer.

Winning happens when you know when to put in guys like Matt Hasselbeck instead of starting Ben Roethlisberger.

Sleepers are the difference between winning and losing.

Here are three sleepers who need to start for your team this week.

WR Denarius Moore (Oakland Raiders)

It only took Denarius Moore one shot to seize his opportunity in Oakland.

In Week 2, Moore was given the nod to start at receiver due to a bunch of injuries at the position.

The rookie had an unbelievable week, catching five passes for 146 yards and a touchdown. Last week was slower for Moore, but he still led the Raiders in receptions.

Hue Jackson is looking to get Moore more touches this week. It's perfect timing, since the Patriots are the worst ranked team in the league against the pass.

This game could turn into a shootout, which just means more opportunities for Moore.

HB Dexter McCluster (Kansas City Chiefs)

Dexter McCluster is not going to give you 100 yards on the ground. What he can give you is 100 yards.

McCluster is used as both a running back and receiver. Fifty yards on the ground and 50 yards receiving is a solid day for a running back in fantasy football.

This is especially true if you are desperate to get someone at the most limited position in the fantasy world.

The Vikings have also struggled in stopping running backs out of the backfield this year. They are allowing backs an average of 85 receiving yards per game.

QB Kyle Orton (Denver Broncos)

Kyle Orton is one of those guys who is spotty with his performances. It's one of the reasons that Denver fans have been calling for Tim Tebow.

That heckling will have to be put on hold for a week.

Although the Broncos will likely get crushed by the Packers, Orton could be poised for a big game.

Green Bay has allowed opposing quarterbacks an average of 2.3 scores and 384 passing yards per game this season.

Denver will be throwing a lot to keep up with the defending Super Bowl champions. Orton should have a good game.
