The NFL season is rolling, and Week 4 is underway. It’s the final week before byes begin. So, it’s another massive Sunday main slate, with another Monday Night Football doubleheader as well. This week’s suggested player pool is larger than in previous weeks. Yet, I’ve narrowed Sunday’s core plays to a palatable number.
