Some themes always recur in fantasy football. LaDainian Tomlinson rushes for more than 100 yards — in one half. And we always see a mad dash for undrafted rookie running backs in Denver.
While Tomlinson owners exhaled for the first time Sunday, Travis Henry's held their collective breath. Henry did not miss much of Sunday's game, but he will have one closely monitored sprained ankle, with Selvin Young topping most waiver requests this week. Other developments from Week 4: —MOVING UP •Joey Harrington (223 yards, two TDs, no interceptions). Guess what? He has had back-to-back productive outings and faces games against the Giants and Saints after a tough one against the Titans. •Patrick Crayton (184 receiving yards, two TDs). After three quiet weeks to start the season, he finally showed up opposite Terrell Owens. •Daunte Culpepper (five TDs, including three rushing). He consistently found the end zone and has a week off to find some passing numbers. •Kenton Keith (80 rushing yards). Henry's injury wasn't the only panic inducer; grab Keith after Joseph Addai's shoulder injury. •Lee Evans (72 receiving yards). He more than doubled his yards for the season with rookie Trent Edwards stabilizing the passing game. —MOVING DOWN •Darrell Jackson (38 receiving yards). Jackson has been a bust, and Trent Dilfer didn't help him get on track after replacing the injured Alex Smith. •Marc Bulger (114 passing yards, no TDs, one interception). No matter how hurt he is, it might be time for Bulger to rest with all of the Rams' problems. •Ravens pass defense. Forget about how tough Baltimore is. The Ravens have allowed seven passing TDs and six receivers to hit at least 85 yards. •LaMont Jordan (74 rushing yards). He picked a bad time to get hurt, with Justin Fargas rushing for 179 yards and Dominic Rhodes returning after the bye. •Shaun Alexander (78 rushing yards). He looked sluggish in averaging 3.1 yards a carry and faces a tough one next week at Pittsburgh.
