2025-2026 NFL Week 4: Data Summary
Hello everyone!
We’re 4 weeks in and if there is a theme to the season so far – I would say it’s been special teams. I can’t remember the last time we’ve had so many blocked punts, kicks, field goals and so many getting returned for touchdowns. This week had many more with the Vikings, Cowboys, and Bears blocking kicks and the Eagles blocking a punt. With these big D/ST fantasy scores, it might be worthwhile to look into playing some SmashCards and powering up your Defense! Takeaway Car, Sacks in the City, or Goal in One could all be great cards for dominant defense and special teams!
Here is the Week 4 data including the most picked players by position, the most played cards, and the most popular combos. These are not in terms of points but in terms of popularity of picks. Without further ado, here are the stats for the players by position.
