We start at the top
Mike VanVelson, 25, of Spencerport kept his winning streak alive in the insider Fantasy Football League as his team, Shake 'n Bake, won its third-straight game after scoring 144 points in Week No. 3.
VanVelson got strong games from Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb, who threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns; Oakland running back LaMont Jordan, who rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown; and wide receivers Donald Driver of Green Bay, and Roddy White of Atlanta, who each had more than 100 yards receiving and one touchdown.
"I put my faith into McNabb as my quarterback hoping he'll remain healthy for the whole season," VanVelson says. "Philadelphia loves to pass the ball, and McNabb finally got back to form this week throwing against Detroit's weak defense. The Eagles won't play such an easy defense every week, but I think McNabb will continue to get the job done."
The Pittsburgh Steelers was VanVelson's starting defense/special unit, which scored a touchdown, logged two sacks and forced a turnover.
VanVelson has running backs Travis Henry, Cedric Benson, Maurice Jones-Drew, along with wide receivers Amani Toomer, Dwayne Bowe and Andre Johnson on his roster.
"I thought I drafted a pretty solid team and so far my players have performed well," says VanVelson. "I should have a chance to win every week ... as long as my team can stay consistent. I'm just hoping Cedric Benson and Maurice Jones-Drew shape up and start playing like I expected them to. Then, I'll be really happy with my team."

Sleeper's
These guys might still been free agents in your league, if so look at picking them up.
Carolina tight end Jeff King has 13 catches, 130 yards and one touchdown.
Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard has 630 yards passing and 3 touchdowns.
Detroit running back Kevin Jones is back after scoring a touchdown last week. He didn't play much though since the Lions were forced to play from behind.
Detroit wide reciever Shaun McDonald continued to impress with five catches for 76 yards and a touchdown last week. McDonald could be even a bigger target with Calvin Johnson hurting his back last week.
Green Bay's Greg Jennings played in his first game Sunday, catching four passes for 82 yards, including a 57-yard touchdown. James Jones, who caught six passes for 79 yards, has been a strong fill-in for Jennings.
Keep an eye on Cincinnati running back Rudi Johnson, who was hurt last week. His backup Kenny Watson could get the start against New England this week.
Rule of 3
Finally, the rule of three. If someone like Lee Evans or Drew Brees is stinking up your team, then don't play the player until they break out of the funk.
If they stink for three weeks in a row and you are still playing the player, then you desrve to lose. Sorry.
