8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 4
Jay Cutler, QB, Miami Dolphins
Jay Cutler has had a couple of quiet fantasy performances in his first two games with the Miami Dolphins, and a bad Week 3 game against the New York Jets likely has him sitting on your waiver wire. For instance, he's currently owned by only 32% of teams in Yahoo leagues.
But his matchup gets even better this week as he takes on a New Orleans Saints team that ranks 29th in numberFire's Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play metric.
Cutler has really been heaving the ball down the field this season and currently ranks among the top-5 in deep-ball rate.

Deep targets obviously carry plenty of fantasy upside, and that is especially true in a matchup with New Orleans, who has allowed a huge catch rate on deep balls this season, per AirYards.com.
