NFC South after Week 4: New Orleans on Top What a great week for the New Orleans Saints!The Saints are currently sitting atop the NFC South after Week 4. Here’s how it all happened.Photo by Al Bello/Getty ImagesComing into Week 4 http://www.thesaintsfootballauthentic.com/tyeler-davison-jersey-authentic , the New Orleans Saints (2-1) were the only team to face a an opponent with a losing record in the 1-2 New York Giants. The Saints took care of business Sunday afternoon, beating the Giants by a final score of 33-18.The early slate of games was just as productive for the Saints, as the 2-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers got throttled by the Chicago Bears, 48-10. It got so bad for Tampa Bay that the Buccaneers pulled interim starter Ryan Fitzpatrick halfway through the game for the returning Jameis Winston (who promptly threw an interception on his first drive). The loss dropped the Buccaneers to 2-2.The Atlanta Falcons (1-2) lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, by giving up a lead late (whaaaaaat? that’s so unlike the Falcons...) to Andy Dalton and AJ Green for a 37-36 final score. The loss pushed the Falcons further down to 1-3.With the 2-1 Carolina Panthers on a Bye, this means the Saints (3-1) are in first place all alone. The Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are tied for second at 2-2 http://www.thesaintsfootballauthentic.com/terron-armstead-jersey-authentic , the Atlanta Falcons are in the basement at 1-3.Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty ImagesIn Week 5, it is Tampa Bay’s turn for their bye. The Carolina Panthers return for their bye to face Eli Manning and the New York Giants in Carolina. The Atlanta Falcons travel to Pittsburgh to face the underperforming Pittsburgh Steelers. Both of those games are at noon CST.The New Orleans Saints will be playing in prime time in Week 5, hosting the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football. There will be plenty of storylines to follow for the game, the most prominent being the fact that Drew Brees is only 201 passing yards away from breaking Peyton Manning’s all time career passing record.But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First things first: #BeattheRedskins Week 17 typically plays out as one of the more bizarre weeks in the NFL with some intense playoff battles, some teams giving up early and others resting their stars to get a look at some younger talent.Because of this, most season-long fantasy championships are held during Week 16 and some of the biggest daily fantasy tournaments will conclude with "main event" prize pools this week Youth Ryan Ramczyk Jersey , but savvy fantasy players should still be on the lookout for traps similar to the last week of the season.Last week, the Jacksonville Jaguars gave star tailback Leonard Fournette 10 carries in the first half before giving him just one in the second half to get a longer look at backup David Williams. The Arizona Cardinals gave Chase Edmonds 38 percent of snaps and the Denver Broncos have been leaning heavily on a trio of young wideouts 鈥?DaeSean Hamilton, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick.DFS players targeting teams out of contention should be particularly wary when considering veteran players. Luckily, there are several teams with plenty on the line this week that we can look to target for daily contests.COWBOYS-BUCCANEERSDallas is a 7 1/2 -point home favorite against Tampa Bay in a game where the Cowboys control their playoff fate while the Bucs have long been out of contention. The Bucs have a bottom 10 defense from a fantasy perspective against every position, and it is a strong spot to target quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, who both are ranked inside the top 5 of DailyRoto's Week 16 value ratings. Prescott and Elliott make for a solid cash game foundation http://www.thesaintsfootballauthentic.com/thomas-morstead-jersey-authentic , and Prescott can also be paired up with either Amari Cooper or Michael Gallup in tournaments. While the Bucs are projected to be trailing, their offense still ranks first in the NFL in total passing yards, and they'll need to lean heavily on the passing attack. DailyRoto likes both Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries to command more than 20 percent of the targets, particularly if DeSean Jackson were to be limited or remain out.STEELERS-SAINTSPittsburgh travels to New Orleans to play in the Superdome, fondly referred to as "The Coors Field of the NFL" in daily fantasy sports after the high-scoring Colorado Rockies baseball stadium. This game will rightfully be a popular target in both cash games and tournaments, and with a 53 1/2-point total it is projected by Vegas to be the highest scoring game on the main slate. The big news fantasy owners are waiting on is the status of Steelers running back James Conner http://www.thesaintsfootballauthentic.com/ken-crawley-jersey-authentic , who will likely be a game-time decision for the second consecutive week. His availability will impact the viability of Jaylen Samuels (just $6,700 on FanDuel) in tournaments.Look for JuJu Smith-Schuster to lead the way for the Steelers receivers. He has drawn 48 targets over the previous four weeks compared with 40 for Antonio Brown. At a cheaper price tag than Brown, Smith-Schuster could also command lower ownership from people looking at last week's box score and seeing Brown's touchdown. The Saints have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and this is a prime spot.It's also a bounceback chance for New Orleans, who will look to rebound after scoring only 50 points on their recent three-game road trip. Drew Brees has averaged over 300 yards passing at home over the previous two seasons, and pairing him up with PPR options Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas is a viable option as the Saints look to clinch home field advantage throughout the entire playoffs.
