Week 4 Fantasy Football Studs: Mannings steal the show

I think everyone expected Manning to break out and have a solid week this week, but 4 touchdown's for Eli as well? It looks like Peyton's brother may be the real deal.

Here are some of the top performances from week 4.

Quarterback

1. Donovan McNabb - 33/48 for 369 yards and 3 touchdowns, 1 int - An incredible comeback performance from the injured McNabb this week.

2. Brett Favre - 28/47 for 303 yards and 4 touchdowns, 1 int - Favre has been excellent since his week 1 debacle.

3. Peyton Manning - 20/27 for 264 yards and 4 touchdowns - Manning finally breaks out.


Running Back

1. LaDainian Tomlinson - 134 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns, 3 rec. for 34 yards - Shows why he's the top player in fantasy football.

2. LaMont Jordan - 126 yards and 1 touchdown, 4 rec. for 22 yards - These are the kind of numbers that everyone expected from Jordan this year.

3. Tiki Barber - 128 yards rushing and 1 touchdown, 2 rec. for 15 yards - He flies under the radar every year but he consistently puts up good fantasy football numbers.

Wide Receiver

1. Plaxico Burress - 10 rec. for 204 yards and 2 touchdowns - He's become Manning's favorite target. Lets see if he can keep it up.

2. Marvin Harrison - 9 rec. for 109 yards and 2 touchdowns - Harrison finally had his breakout game, connecting with Manning for 2 TD's.

3. Terrell Owens - 11 rec. for 171 yards and 1 touchdown - Despite his shaky attitude, he has become the best wide receiver in football.
