Fantasy football projections, Week 4: Saints-Cowboys featuring Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham and DeMarco Murray

The Week 4 matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Dallas Cowboys could turn out to be a run-and-gun game. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

The Dallas Cowboys defense is one that can easily be beaten, even more so if your name happens to be Drew Brees. That said, Brees hasn't gotten off to the start that most fantasy owners would have thought when they drafted him. A pair of tough road losses deserve some of the blame for that, but the reality is that Brees had to take what he was given last week against a Minnesota Vikings defense that played conservative. Playing in Dallas this time around should allow Brees to look down the field more and consequently put up big yardage numbers. A three-touchdown performance isn't out of the question this week against a team with a mediocre defense.

Any touchdowns from the Saints' star quarterback on Sunday probably means a lot of targets in the direction of tight end Jimmy Graham. Graham is a must-start talent any given week, but is fantasy owners have to be wide-eyed this week knowing that he's up against the team that gives up the most fantasy points to tight ends of any club in the NFL. Couple that with the fact Graham has been held without a score in two out of three games so far this season and Week 4 could be the fire starter that see's Graham's numbers go through the roof and his fantasy owners walk away with a win.

Running back DeMarco Murray is currently averaging 128 yards rushing and a touchdown after three games. Regardless of who the Cowboys happen to be facing this week, those totals equal a starting job no matter how small a league fantasy owners may be participating in. What's most impressive about Murray's totals is that he's been consistent, scoring a touchdown and eclipsing the 100-yard rushing mark in each contest. While he's bound to slow down eventually, it's unlikely that will happen against the Saints this week, a team that isn't afraid to get involved in a shootout and only ranks in the middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to the running back position.

While Murray should be a big part of the Cowboys' offense this week and see in excess of 20 carries once again, quarterback Tony Romo will undoubtedly look to his favorite wide receiver Dez Bryant once the two teams start racking up the points. After a quiet season opener, Bryant has managed 16 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns over the last two weeks combined. The Saints give up points through the air, so although Bryant was limited in practice this week with a shoulder injury, he should be healthy enough for a fantasy feast in Week 4.
