Fantasy Football Week 4 Winners and Losers

Quarterback
MVP: Drew Brees (Saints)
Breesus was lord once again making a mockery of the previously undefeated Dolphins on Monday night. The Saints inability to run the ball and almost exclusively pass, makes Brees about as valuable as a quarterback as you can ask for in fantasy football.
Honorable Mentions: Phillip Rivers (Chargers), Peyton Manning (Broncos), Alex Smith (Chiefs), Matt Ryan (Falcons)

LVP: Russell Wilson (Seahawks)
The Seahawks may be undefeated, but Russell Wilson has not been kind to his fantasy owners so far this season. Save for his 4 TD eruption against the Jaguars, Wilson has a whopping 2 TD's on the year up to this point rendering him almost useless for fantasy purposes. Hopefully Wilson can begin to match his real-life success with fantasy production.
Dishonorable Mentions: Colin Kaepernick (49ers), Michael Vick (Eagles), Robert Griffin III (Redskins), Matt Flynn (Raiders)

Running Back
MVP: Adrian Peterson (Vikings)
For the first time this season, Adrian Peterson put up numbers that were worthy of his status as the undisputed 1st overall pick for this year's fantasy game. Peterson shredded the Steelers for 140 yards and a pair of TD's. AP has shown flashes of the freakishly high-level he played at last year, but he will have to be more consistently brilliant after the Vikings bye week this week to prove worthy of his status as the top fantasy pick for 2013.
Honorable Mentions: Darren Sproles (Saints), Reggie Bush (Lions), Arian Foster (Texans), Danny Woodhead (Chargers)

LVP: Ray Rice (Ravens)
Ray Rice limped back from his hip injury against a horrid a Bills run defense this week. Granted, Rice only got 5 touches in the game, but his 18-yard performance is nevertheless disappointing on a fantasy level. Even before his injury, Rice looked sluggish and has fallen way short of expectations in 2013 thus far.
Dishonorable Mentions: Darren McFadden (Raiders), Chris Johnson (Titans), Maurice Jones-Drew (Jaguars), Trent Richardson (Colts)

Wide Receiver
MVP: Torrey Smith (Ravens)
Joe Flacco may have struggled mightily against the Bills throwing 5 INT's, but the beneficiary of the few plays he did make was Torrey Smith. The deep threat went off with 166 yards and a TD on only 5 receptions. Smith is the only proven, reliable wideout the Ravens have and should continue to be a solid WR2/3 play throughout the year.
Honorable Mentions: Victor Cruz (Giants),  Alshon Jeffrey (Bears), Nate Washington (Titans), Greg Jennings (Vikings)

LVP: Stevie Johnson (Bills)
Stevie Johnson cooled off majorly this week after a great start to the year. Johnson had 1 catch for -1 yard on a botched screen pass. Performances like this are a rarity for Johnson, who is easily one of the most consistent wideouts in the league.
Dishonorable Mentions: DeSean Jackson (Eagles), Hakeem Nicks (Giants), A.J. Green (Bengals), Ryan Broyles (Lions)

Tight End
MVP: Tony Gonzalez (Falcons)
Tony Gonzalez's surprisingly quiet start to the year came to a screeching halt this week with his utter domination of the Patriots defense on Sunday night. The attention the Patriots put on Julio Jones allowed Gonzalez to get open early and often on his way to 12 receptions, 149 yards and 2 TD performance. Gonzalez was back to form in this one and his fantasy owners hope he stays that way for the rest of the year.
Honorable Mentions:Jimmy Graham (Saints), Jordan Cameron (Browns), Antonio Gates (Chargers), Coby Fleener (Colts)

LVP: Brandon Myers (Giants)
It's hard to believe that Brandon Myers did better last season with the Raiders than he has with a seemingly much more-talented Giants team.  It's really a shame because going into the year Myers looked like one of the top sleeper picks at tight end and so far, he hasn't delivered the goods. It isn't really Myers fault he is struggling, much of the Giants team is playing absolutely awful right now and can't even give him any looks.  Save for Victor Cruz, it's a rough time to have a New York Giant on your fantasy team.
Dishonorable Mentions: Kyle Rudolph (Vikings), Jason Witten (Cowboys), Julius Thomas (Broncos), Jared Cook (Rams)

Defense
MVP: Indianapolis Colts
What a surprise, an opposing defense slaughtered the Jacksonville Jaguars offense.
Honorable Mentions: Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins

LVP: Cincinnati Bengals
Fresh off an outstanding performance against the Packers, the Bengals defense struggled against a much-worse Browns unit managing only 3 sacks and no takeaways on the afternoon.
Dishonorable Mentions: St. Louis Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears
