MOTW - Week 4

I mentioned last week that this week's MOTW would be a double-header. But due to some unexpected losses last week, there really is only one matchup that is worthy of a MOTW. We'll take a rain check on the double header for now and dive right into the actual MOTW:

MOTW
1. It'saHardGronkLife (Jon) vs. 2. Just Forsett In (Mike)
Jon is off to a great start this year, having yet to lose. He's trying to distance himself and his fantasy reputation from the rest of his family. Mike may be disadvantaged on keeping up with NFL news due to living in another country, but he's been doing fine this year, with only an unexpected loss last week to Paul. Will Mike be able to rebound and move to the top tier of teams or will Jon continue to stay unbeaten?
QB: While Jon waits for Brady's return (another reason why Jon's team is scary: he's still waiting on Brady and Jamaal Charles, who could both be back in week 5) he plugs in Matt Ryan. However, Ryan faces a stingy Carolina D that is upset over their last loss against the Vikings. I say Stafford gobbles up the Bears defense to give Mike an early advantage. Edge: Mike
WR: Both these teams have deep wide receiving corps on most days. However, with both Cobb and Matthews out this week, Mike's WR3 spot gets downgraded to the possession-receiving, homeless man's Edelman. Julio should bounce back from a disappointing 1 catch week as well as Kelvin getting more targets against a softer defense. Edge: Jon
RB: Mike was riding on the legs of DeAngelo, who up to this week had been the number 3 fantasy back even with a terrible showing last week. Now he has to find a fill-in and I don't think the Seahawks backfield against a solid front 7 of the Jets is the answer. Gordon and McCoy have both been true workhorse RBs that should give Jon the lead. Edge: Jon
TE: Neither slow white TE really impresses against stingy defenses, but I'll take the one that's not facing arguably the best covering LB corp in the league (Kuechly and Davis). Edge: Mike
K/DEF: No major edges here but one thing to look for is whether the Jets will be able to shut down a slow Seahawks offense, or if Seattle was able to find their groove last week. Edge: Even

Winner: Jon
The disparity in the skill positions takes Jon to an unbelievable 4-0. With 4 wins in his pocket and 2 stars coming back, will anybody be able to stop Jon this year?

Good luck to all!
