The Texans have been coy about Andre Johnson’s injury, but there is starting to be some clarity as to its severity.

If the first four weeks of the season are any indication, Cam Newton might well be the NFL’s rookie of the year. But despite his record passing pace, the Panthers’ exciting young quarterback has yet to be voted the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week.

The Buffalo Bills’ upset at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals dropped them from the heady ranks of the top 5 in NFL.com’s latest Power Poll, but otherwise there wasn’t much change at the top, with Green Bay and New Orleans leading the way.

This week, the Playbook research staff started its day by putting aside watching every game from Minute 1 to Minute 60. But that doesn’t mean we took a real break.

Since misery loves company, here’s a chance for fantasy owners to vent about what they would have done differently in Week 4.

Listen in as coach Jim Mora and I discuss the NFL’s best surprises and biggest disappointments through the first four weeks of the season.

The Jets say they’re going back to the running game, which is encouraging news for Shonn Greene owners.
