Now that we are to Week 4 of the fantasy football season, we have to start finding replacements for players who have a bye week. If you are seaching for a fantasy football sleeper for Week 4, here are some good options:
QB Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers
With Frank Gore out this week, quarterback Shaun Hill will probably need to toss the pigskin more than usual. Add in a favorable opponent in the St. Louis Rams and Hill is definitely a sleeper in Week 4.
RB Rashard Mendenhall, Pittsburgh Steelers
Rashard Mendenhall would definitely be a risky play but he has upside. Starter Willie Parker is battling with turf toe. Additionally, Mendenhall was benched last week due to a poor showing in practice, which could have him extra motivated.
WR Andre Caldwell, Cincinnati Bengals
With TJ Houshmandzadeh no longer with the Cincinnati Bengals, Carson Palmer has been looking for a new possession receiver. He might have found one in Andre Caldwell. The speedy Caldwell is a solid play this week.
TE Daniel Fells, St. Louis Rams
After Kyle Boller entered the game at quarterback in Week 3, tight end Daniel Fells caught two touchdown passes. If Boller starts in Week 4, will he keep looking at Fells? He just might.

Parker is out, so Mendenhall is a decent option.
