In regards to rankings coming out of week four, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is surprising us all this season, especially week four. If you've got him, start him! Meanwhile, players like Richard Rodgers, Charles Clay, and Allen Robinson should garner your attention this week, according to Fantasy Pros. 

Week four obviously saw a number of injuries resulting from games, so check out our previous injury report coverage and how it could affect for Fantasy lineups heading into week five right here!

Taking a look at the waiver wire, we know that the streaming QBs could be harder this week. The depth of the waiver wire in this position is waning, but names like Jay Cutler, Alex Smith, Michael Vick and Blake Bortles still stand out, according to RotoWorld. If you're streaming, look at these names. If not, look away! The tight end position has plenty of streamers though, including Gary Barnidge and Derek Carrier.

Topping the waiver wire this week is Duke Johnson, running back of Cleveland Browns (pictured above). Oddly enough, there aren't many running backs worth noting besides Johnson, while wide receivers are plentiful headed into week five. Allen Hurns, Rueben Randle, Leonard Hankerson and more, according to Fantasy Pros.
