Week 4 in the NFL is upon us, and after seeing Nick Bosa go down, I’m thinking I may have spoken too soon about injuries on the defensive side. Regardless, that was covered in my article yesterday, so the players mentioned in this article will help you dominate the gridiron this week. For injury replacements, you’ll want to check out my Hard Hits and Cool Picks article, which covered some waiver wire pickups that could still be available in your leagues. So head over and check that out, along with our other articles, so that you can bring the pain to your competition this week. Have a great day, everyone, and may the points be with you.

Heat Check of the Week
Jack Campbell, Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions were punked in Green Bay week one, and since then, they have been on a tear. Part of that has been the amazing play of linebacker Jack Campbell. Currently, Campbell is just above 33 percent owned and is averaging nearly 20 points per game so far. With the Browns coming to town this week, you can expect that to continue this week.
Pick up of the week
Danielle Hunter, Houston Texans
Danielle Hunter couldn’t get anything going against the Jaguars after recording two sacks against the Buccaneers. At 19 percent, no one will be looking to pick up Hunter but with the Titans coming to Houston this week, you’ll want a piece of that action. With Cam Ward not able to find a rhythm this season, Hunter is in position to get a sack this week. Get him into your lineups and thank us later when you win this week.
