Here is one way of doing it:

> x  # your data
   subject week value
1        1    1     4
2        2    1     8
3        3    1     3
4        4    1     5
5        1    2     5
6        2    2     6
7        3    2     2
8        4    2     6
9        1    3     3
10       2    3     7
11       3    3     3
12       4    3     7
> x.mean <- tapply(x$value, x$week, mean) # take the mean by 'week'
> x.mean  # resulting vector
   1    2    3
5.00 4.75 5.00
> # plot using 'names' to get the 'week'
> plot(as.numeric(names(x.mean)), x.mean, xlab='week', ylab='mean',
type='b')
