Fantasy Football Week 4: Dez Bryant, Beanie Wells and 4 Biggest Injury Concerns

Dez Bryant, Beanie Wells, Darren McFadden and Roddy White are this week's biggest injury concerns.  Playing fantasy football is a ton of fun, but also stressful. The biggest stress comes from injuries, especially when it impacts your star player.

Last week, fantasy owners were disappointed by the lack of production from Dez Bryant.  He was coming off of a quad injury, but was not able to produce.  Bryant is still feeling the effects of his injured quad, but is expected to play.  His questionable status is a major concern for many fantasy owners, as an ineffective Bryant could mean a fantasy loss.

Beanie Wells is again featured on the injury report, but is expected to see plenty of carries.  Throughout his career, Wells has struggled to remain healthy.  He hasn't been able to fight off nagging injuries and remain in the lineup.  This latest injury could really impact his fantasy value.

Many fantasy owners took a chance on Wells, hoping he would be able to cash in on his potential.  His stock rose after the Cardinals traded away Tim Hightower and Ryan Williams suffered a season ending injury.  Many fantasy owners are counting on Wells to be productive, but his injury is a major cause for concern.

Roddy White is listed as questionable, but is expected to play.  He is one of the better fantasy options in the game, but his injury is a concern.  The Falcons could decide to use White as more of a decoy, than a real option.  If he isn't 100 percent, Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez could be the featured targets.

If you are someone that follows football because of fantasy, then you might not be aware of Darren McFadden's injury history.  Last season, McFadden was able to remain healthy and produced big-time numbers.  That production put him among the top fantasy running back options.

However, McFadden hasn't always been productive.  In his past, McFadden has frustrated many fantasy owners.  Early in his career, McFadden missed a lot of games due to injuries.  For some, seeing his name on the injury report brings back nightmares.
