The theme of the maximum points roster for this week is up and comers. Six of the nine position players have been in the league fewer than four years. No players repeated from week three. Puka, Collins and Richardson look like they are for real. Fields came through in a big way for fantasy this week, not for the Bears though. Jake Ferguson has worked his way up to TE8 in full PPR.

The number three tight end was actually Jonnu Smith. (Condolences if you have Kyle Pitts on your roster.) However, like Devon Achane last week, Jonnu was not in our player pool for week 4. Michael Wilson and Jaleel McLaughlin were the other breakouts from outside the player pool in week 4.
Justin Tucker is the only player from the most popular roster in week three and four. The most selected players in week four put up just about 55% of the maximum possible score. It might be time to leave Kittle and Waller on the bench.
