The new-look Vikings enjoy some success, Steve Smith burns his former team, emerging talent at tight end, Rivers, Eli, Rodgers, Luck and more in Scott Cullena€?s 20 Points on NFL Week Four. 1. Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater (19-for-30, 317 YDS) was outstanding in his first NFL start, a win over Atlanta. His preferred target was WR Jarius Wright (8 REC, 132 YDS, 10 targets) RB Matt Asiata (100 YDS, 3 TD, 23 touches), ahead of Greg Jennings and Cordarrelle Patterson. Bridgewater did suffer a sprained ankle, which does dim the lights a little, but that doesnt take away from the immediate positive results. Minnesotaa€?s running game also got a jolt from rookie Jerick McKinnon (152 YDS, 19 touches), who complemented Matt Asiata (100 YDs, 3 TD, 23 touches) nicely. 2. Along with McKinnon, other rookie runners getting some touches include Titans RB Bishop Sankey (57 YDS, 1 TD, 8 touches) and Giants RB Andre Williams (66 YDS, 1 TD, 15 carries). 3. Ravens WR Steve Smith had a monster performance (7 REC, 139 YDS, 2 TD, 10 targets) against his former team, Carolina. While Smitha€?s production has come at the expense of Torrey Smith, Ravens QB Joe Flacco (22-for-31, 327 YDs, 3 TD) cana€?t be complaining. He has a proven playmaker putting up big numbers a€“ Steve Smith ranks third in the league with 429 receiving yards and his 107.3 receiving yards per game is a career high. 4. Tight end has been quite a position for emerging talent this season. Bears TE Martellus Bennett (9 REC, 134 YDS, 11 targets) now ranks third among tight ends with 295 receiving yards. With injuries hindering the Bearsa€? wide receivers, Bennett is rising to the challenge. The only two tight ends with more receiving yards than Bennett are the expected Saints TE Jimmy Graham (340 YS) and the less-expected, Titans TE Delanie Walker (317 YDS). While wea€?re on breakthrough tight ends, Giants TE Larry Donnell (7 REC, 54 YDS, 3 TD, 8 targets) had another productive game against Washington and ranks fifth in receiving yardage at 236. 5. Chargers QB Philip Rivers (29-for-39, 377 YDS, 3 TD) continued his strong play with an expected big day against Jacksonville. Forever linked to Rivers by their draft day trade, Giants QB Eli Manning (28-for-39, 300 YDS, 4 TD, 1 INT) is bouncing back after a rough start to the season. In wins over Houston and Washington the past two weeks, Manning has completed 73.1% of his passes, while throwing just one interception. 6. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (22-for-28, 302 YDS, 4 TD) got on track with a big game against the Bears and when Rodgers is on, that means good things for WR Randall Cobb (7 REC, 113 YDS, 2 TD, 9 targets) and WR Jordy Nelson (10 REC, 108 YDS, 2 TD, 12 targets). Still worth keeping an eye on rookie Davante Adams too a€“ Packers had three fantasy-relevant wideouts when James Jones was involved. 7. Colts QB Andrew Luck (29-for-41, 393 YDS, 4 TD, 1 INT) has taken off in the last two weeks, throwing for eight touchdowns and 763 yards in wins over Tennessee and Jacksonville. He now leads the league in passing yards (1,305) and touchdowns (13). 8. Eagles RB LeSean McCoy (17 YDS, 10 carries) continued to struggle against San Francisco. Hea€?s gained 256 yards from scrimmage through four games, putting him at 64.0 per game, down a long way from last seasona€?s 134.1 yards per game. 9. Falcons WR Roddy White (4 REC, 73 YDS, 1 TD, 14 targets) was strangely the most-targeted receiver for QB Matt Ryan in the loss at Minnesota. It would be one thing if he was hauling in a lot of those passes thrown his way, but four of 14? Maybe look in the direction of Julio Jones a couple more times. 10. 49ers RB Frank Gore (174 YDS, 1 TD, 25 touches) isna€?t ready to cede touches in the 49ersa€? offence to rookie Carlos Hyde. Gore ranks 10th among running backs with 325 yards from scrimmage. 11. Raiders WR Andre Holmes (5 REC, 74 YDS, 1 TD, 12 targets) emerged as the favourite target for Raiders QBs Derek Carr and Matt McGloin in Sundaya€?s loss to Miami. That those are the two quarterback options for the Raiders obviously limit the appeal of any of their receivers, let alone a 26-year-old with 38 career catches, but ita€?s worth keeping an eye on Holmes who, at 6-foot-5, is a big target. 12. Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (67 YDs, 2 TD, 1 lost fumble, 14 touches) is holding his own as the starter with Knowshon Moreno sidelined. 13. Buccaneers WR Louis Murphy (6 REC, 99 YDS, 11 targets) emerged as a preferred target for QB Mike Glennon (21-for-42, 302 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT). With rookie WR Mike Evans hurt, Murphy has a chance to play a regular role for the Bucs, at least for the next few weeks. 14. Lions WR Golden Tate (8 REC, 116 YDS, 10 targets) was Matthew Stafforda€?s top target with Calvin Johnson (2 REC, 12 YDS, 2 targets) limited by an ankle injury. 15. Injuries continued to plague the Carolina Panthersa€? backfield. RB DeAngelo Williams (34 YDS, 11 carries) left Sundaya€?s loss to Baltimore, giving rookie Darrin Reaves an opportunity (37 YDS, 15 touches). With Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert already hurt, Reaves, an undrafted rookie out of Alabama-Birmingham, is set to start for the Panthers against Chicago next week. 16. Colts RB Trent Richardson (99 YDS, 1 TD, 24 touches) hasna€?t had a 100-yard rushing game since the ninth game of the 2012 season, but he has gained at least 80 yards from scrimmage in each of the last three games. 17. Bears RB Matt Forte (171 YDS, 28 touches) is up to third among running backs in yards from scrimmage, trailing Dallasa€? DeMarco Murray (602 YDS) and Pittsburgha€?s Lea€?Veon Bell (570 YDS). 18. Backfield timeshares: Bills RB C.J. Spiller (94 YDS, 18 touches) had a little more than Fred Jackson (85 YDS, 13 touches) Ravens RB Justin Forsett (97 YDS, 1 TD, 17 touches) and Lorenzo Taliaferro (58 YDS, 1 TD, 15 carries) were relatively balanced. Jets RB Chris Ivory (100 YDS, 19 touches) continued to decimate the value of Chris Johnson (61 YDS, 1 TD, 8 touches), though Johnsona€?s touchdown made his day worthwhile. Chargers RB Donald Brown (54 YDS, 14 touches) is having a hard time pulling away from Branden Oliver (56 YDS, 13 touches) while Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead are out. Saints RB Khiry Robinson (105 YDS, 8 touches) had a few more touches than Pierre Thomas (23 YDS, 4 touches), but the running game kind of got lost when the Saints fell behind 31-3 to Dallas. 19. Titans rookie QB Zach Mettenberger (2-for-5, 17 YDS, 1 INT) got into the game at Indianapolis, replacing Charlie Whitehurst. Neither was particularly effective and that does limit the appeal of Titans receivers, aside from TE Delanie Walker. 20. Washington FS Ryan Clark (14 tackles), Washington OLB Keenan Robinson (13 tackles, 1 INT), Washington SS Brandon Meriweather (13 tackles), Packers SS Morgan Burnett (13 tackles), Packers OLB A.J. Hawk (13 tackles), Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson (8 tackles, 1.5 sacks), Colts ILB Da€?Qwell Jackson (10 tackles, 1 sack), Buccaneers OLB Lavonte David (12 tackles, 3 TFL), Lions LB Tahir Whitehead (12 tackles), Titans ILB Wesley Woodyard (9 tackles, 1 INT), Jets FS Dawan Landry (11 tackles, .5 sack), Cowboys LB Justin Durant (8 tackles, 1 INT), Dolphins DE Derrick Shelby (3 tackles, 2 sacks), Bills OLB Nigel Bradham (3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT).

The 37-year-old Garnett missed 19 straight games since Feb. 27 because of back spasms. The Nets went 14-5 over that span. Garnett was back in the starting lineup and was sharp from the start. He scored on an alley-oop in the first quarter, made his first four shots, and had a nasty block on Michael Carter-Williams layup attempt that knocked the rookie guard to the ground. Garnett also passed Alex English to move into 14th on the NBAs career scoring list. Coach Jason Kidd limited Garnetts minutes and the veteran centre did not play in the fourth quarter. Deron Williams had 19 points and Mason Plumlee 16 for the Nets. Thaddeus Young led the Sixers with 20 points. The Sixers, who had won two of four after losing 26 straight games, sliced a 21-point hole down to two after Henry Sims put back Carter-Williams miss on his second free-throw attempt. With a chance to tie the game at 96-all on the next possession, Carter-Williams made 1 of 2 with 1:05 left. Mirza Teletovics first bucket of the game was a 3-pointer with 48.4 seconds left that gave the Nets some breathing room. With starters Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce and Garnett on the bench, Williams helped the Nets seal the win from the line Garnett was loose and all ssmiles in the pregame layup line, slapping hands and offering encouragement to his teammates.dddddddddddd Pierce took on Garnett in a brief 1-on-1 battle, and yelled "Welcome back!" as he blew by him to toward the basket. Garnett is the no longer the dominant All-Star of his Minnesota and Boston days, averaging 6.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 21 minutes in 49 games this season. But the layoff may help boost the life left in his legs that will be needed if the Nets are going to make any type of playoff run. Garnett and Pierce turned back the clock on consecutive scores in the second -- Garnetts big dunk was followed by Pierces 3-pointer for a 13-point lead. The Nets led by as many as 21 before the Sixers made their run late in the fourth. Garnett and Pierce had a seat on the bench during crunch time. That allowed the Sixers to pounce. Carter-Williams went rim-to-rim off his own defensive rebound and finished with a one-handed dunk over Andrei Kirlenko. He helped the Sixers stay within 10 points of the Nets. The Sixers closed within three when Williams was fouled on a 3-pointer with 3:08 left. He made the free throw for a 94-87 lead. Williams made all six of his free-throw attempts in the game. Holis Thompson scored 18 points for the Sixers and Sims had 11 points and 11 rebounds. NOTES: 76ers C Byron Mullens (sprained left ankle) was inactive. ... Johnson has made a 3-pointer in 25 straight games. ' ' '
