Fantasy football Week 4 advice: Bye week blues

No Peyton Manning, no A.J. Green. No Andy Dalton. What can you do?

The Arizona Cardinals and five other team are on their bye week in Week 4. That seems silly, but it is the reality of the NFL. While as Cardinals fans, we think it's a good week for the bye with a bunch of banged up players, this particular bye week will make it tough on your fantasy team and league.

Why?

Six teams with significant fantasy players are out -- Peyton Manning, Marshawn Lynch, Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Andre Ellington, John Brown and others are all off the board.

What is a fantasy owner to do?

You could take the advice of SB Nation's Matt Ufford.

Who are some of his key players to sit and start?

Start: WR Terrence Williams, RB Donald Brown, WR Steve Smith, QB Colin Kaepernick, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, RB Lamar Miller

Sit: QB Cam Newton, WR Eddie Royal, RB Chris Johnson
