Fantasy Football Week 4 WR/CB Matchups 2026: WR vs. CB Matchup Report

Three weeks in, the receiver landscape already looks nothing like your draft board. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is putting up numbers only Jerry Rice has matched, Kalif Raymond and Christian Watson are winning people weeks, and Courtland Sutton managers are refreshing the waiver wire. Week 4 throws even more chaos into the mix: an undrafted rookie quarterback in Tampa Bay, a mystery starter in Chicago, Justin Jefferson nursing a sprained ankle, and a cornerback who got traded to Dallas just days before he might line up across from Nico Collins. That's why the specific matchup matters so much this week, and it's what this report is built around. Every notable receiver is lined up against the corner he'll actually see, left WR vs. right CB, right WR vs. left CB, and slot vs. nickel, then graded Safe, Moderate, or Risky based on the full picture: the corner, the defense behind him, the quarterback throwing to him, and the Vegas line.

The fun starts tonight with Steelers-Browns on Thursday Night Football, Colts-Commanders gets an early wake-up call Sunday morning in London, and Falcons-Saints closes the week Monday night. Final injury designations for the Sunday and Monday games don't arrive until Friday, so anything marked as trending below is exactly that: trending.

Week 4 News That Changes the Matchups

Quarterback changes in Tampa Bay, Chicago and Washington. Baker Mayfield dislocated his right thumb and is out at least three weeks, so undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels makes his first start against Green Bay. Caleb Williams remains out with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, and Ben Johnson has decided between Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent without announcing it. Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited Wednesday, and Marcus Mariota is expected to start again in London after leading Washington past Seattle.

Justin Jefferson (ankle). He sprained it in the first quarter of the win at Tampa Bay and didn't practice Wednesday. Kevin O'Connell said he avoided anything long-term, and he's day-to-day heading into a matchup with winless Miami.

Puka Nacua and Nico Collins are trending toward playing. Nacua (hip/groin) returned to a limited practice Wednesday, and Sean McVay expects him to play. Collins (hamstring) also practiced on a limited basis after missing two games and is on track for Sunday.

New injuries to monitor. Mike Evans (ribs) was carted off Sunday and missed Wednesday's practice. Jalen Coker (quad), Xavier Legette (knee), Chris Godwin (ankle), DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Caleb Douglas (ankle) also sat out Wednesday.

Secondary changes. Dallas acquired Joey Porter from Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Carolina placed Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson on injured reserve, the Rams' Jaylen Watson (shoulder) was carted off in Denver, and Jalen Ramsey is questionable for tonight with a wrist injury.

Toughest Fantasy Football WR Matchups for Week 4

Fantasy Football Week 4 WR/CB Matchup Report

Left Wide Receiver (LWR) vs. Right Cornerback (RCB)

Each team's outside receiver on the left side of the formation against the opponent's right cornerback.

Marvin Harrison (ARI)

vs. Greg Newsome II (NYG)   •   Matchup: Risky

Harrison's third season has gone sideways. He's at 4 catches on 9 targets for 73 yards through three games, a 6.8% target share, and trade buzz has started to build around the former No. 4 overall pick, with league executives wondering whether Arizona would consider a change-of-scenery deal before the Nov. 10 deadline. Michael Wilson, fresh off a three-year, $75 million extension with $47 million guaranteed, owns the team-leading first-read share, and Mike LaFleur has pointed to Trey McBride as the underneath outlet when Jacoby Brissett needs an easy completion. The irony is that this is a fine spot on paper: Newsome's PFF coverage grade of 56.8 is beatable. Arizona is a 1.5-point road favorite with the total at 44.5. The role is the problem, not the corner. He's a bench stash until the usage changes.

Drake London (ATL)

vs. Quincy Riley (NO)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Michael Penix's return flipped London's season in one night. After 6 catches for 80 yards across the first two games, London caught 9 of 10 targets for a career-high 194 yards in the Thursday night rout at Green Bay, a 43.5% target share that led all receivers in Week 3. It's not a one-game fluke either: London has 91 catches for 1,356 yards in Penix's 13 career starts, roughly 104 yards per game, compared to about 55 with every other quarterback. Riley's PFF coverage grade of 68.4 makes this a real individual test, which keeps the grade at Moderate. New Orleans is a 2.5-point favorite on Monday night with the total at 48.5. The corner is tough; the volume is tougher. He's a locked-in WR1.

Rashod Bateman (BAL)

vs. Alontae Taylor (TEN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Taylor's PFF coverage grade of 32.4 is about as soft as it gets, but Bateman's role disappeared the moment Zay Flowers returned. Seven of Bateman's 9 catches and his only touchdown came over the first two weeks, including the game Flowers missed, and he managed 2 catches on 3 targets for 37 yards in last week's 34-31 win at Dallas. With Flowers on the field, Bateman's target share sits at 8.9%, and Flowers was limited Wednesday but is trending toward a full workload. Baltimore is an 11.5-point favorite with the total at 43.5, a script that should lean on the run late. Great corner matchup, no role. Bench him unless Flowers suffers a setback.

Keon Coleman (BUF)

vs. Christian Gonzalez (NE)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Coleman has been efficient, 8 catches on 9 targets for 101 yards, in a Buffalo offense that's 3-0 behind Josh Allen. Gonzalez's 64.7 PFF grade makes this a legitimate test, and if New England uses him to shadow DJ Moore, Coleman draws Carlton Davis III (83.3) instead, so there's no easy side of the field here. Buffalo is a 6.5-point favorite with the total at 48.5, and the Patriots managed just 6 points in last week's loss at Jacksonville, so a comfortable lead could mean fewer second-half throws. Solid flex in deeper formats, not a lock.

Tetairoa McMillan (CAR)

vs. D.J. Reed (DET)   •   Matchup: Safe

McMillan is at 12 catches on 23 targets for 193 yards, an 18% target share with four red-zone and five deep targets. The issue has been accuracy, not opportunity: only 54.5% of his targets have been catchable. The matchup is about as good as it gets for a perimeter receiver. Detroit allows the sixth-most yards per target to outside receivers, and Reed (60.5 PFF grade) was limited Wednesday with a rib injury. With Jalen Coker (quad) and Xavier Legette (knee) both sitting out Wednesday, McMillan could be the one healthy outside option in a Sunday night game with a 50.5 total and Detroit favored by 3.5. I'm treating him as a WR2 with real ceiling.

Rome Odunze (CHI)

vs. Brandon Stephens (NYJ)   •   Matchup: Risky

Odunze is the forgotten man in Ben Johnson's offense: 8 catches on 13 targets for 139 yards and a 13.3% target share, behind both Luther Burden and Kalif Raymond. The quarterback situation adds another layer. Caleb Williams is out with a hamstring strain, and the Bears haven't said whether Case Keenum, who went 24-of-34 for 247 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 27-7 win over Philadelphia, or Tyson Bagent, now back from the concussion protocol, gets the start. Stephens' PFF coverage grade of 65.0 and a Jets defense that plays a lot of two-high, where Odunze's target rate drops to 14%, make this a tough draw. Chicago is favored by 3.5 with the total at 42.5. Bench him.

Ja'Marr Chase (CIN)

vs. Montaric Brown (JAX)   •   Matchup: Safe

Chase has been a monster, 18 catches on 25 targets for 185 yards and 3 touchdowns through three games, a 72% catch rate that tells you how locked in he and Joe Burrow are. Brown's PFF coverage grade of 51.4 says he's been getting worked, and I don't expect that to change. Cincinnati is a 2.5-point favorite, and the 51.5 total is the highest on the slate, and the Bengals should be motivated after a 30-27 loss in Pittsburgh. Lock him in.

Denzel Boston (CLE)

vs. Jamel Dean (PIT)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Boston has been Cleveland's most productive receiver, 9-for-15 for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns, with an 18.1% target share, 2.27 yards per route run, and three red-zone targets. Dean's 69.6 PFF grade is a real individual problem, but Pittsburgh as a unit has allowed the fourth-most yards per target to perimeter receivers, which helps balance it out. The ceiling is capped by Deshaun Watson, whose average depth of target is the second-lowest in the league, and tonight's 38.5 total is tied for the lowest of the week with Pittsburgh favored by 2.5. A reasonable flex on Thursday night.

George Pickens (DAL)

vs. Kamari Lassiter (HOU)   •   Matchup: Risky

Pickens has settled in as Dallas' clear No. 2 behind CeeDee Lamb, 16 catches on 25 targets for 150 yards, though he's still looking for his first touchdown. Lassiter's PFF coverage grade of 67.3 makes this a legitimately tough individual matchup, which is why the grade is Risky. The environment pulls the other way: Dak Prescott is the QB8 in fantasy points per game, and Houston has allowed the seventh-highest yards per attempt and eighth-highest passer rating. Houston is favored by 2.5 with the total at 47.5. Tough corner, good game. I'm still starting him as a WR2.

Courtland Sutton (DEN)

vs. Deommodore Lenoir (SF)   •   Matchup: Risky

Sutton has been one of the biggest disappointments of the first three weeks: 8 catches on 16 targets for 82 yards, the WR80 in fantasy points per game with just 1.04 yards per route run. The five red-zone targets keep a pulse on the profile, but Lenoir's 67.4 PFF grade and a 49ers defense that allows the sixth-fewest yards per target to perimeter receivers make this a bad week to chase it. San Francisco is 3-0 and favored by 2.5 with the total at 48.5. Bench him.

Isaac TeSlaa (DET)

vs. Will Lee III (CAR)   •   Matchup: Risky

TeSlaa led Detroit in receiving in last week's 31-24 win over the Jets, catching all three of his targets for 66 yards, while Jameson Williams went 4-for-49. He's at 5 catches on 9 targets for 92 yards on the season. Lee's PFF coverage grade of 67.5 is one of the tougher covers on the slate, though Carolina's secondary just got thinner with Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson both landing on injured reserve. Detroit is favored by 3.5 with the total at 50.5. Still a deep-league piece behind St. Brown, but the role is trending up.

Christian Watson (GB)

vs. Jacob Parrish (TB)   •   Matchup: Safe

Watson has been the story of Green Bay's passing game, 17 receptions on 29 targets for 284 yards and 4 touchdowns, with six red-zone targets that tie him for the league lead. Jordan Love has been uneven, but Watson is the focal point, and Parrish's PFF grade points to a beatable corner. The game script should help too: Tampa Bay is 0-3 and turning to undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels with Baker Mayfield out. Green Bay is a 3.5-point road favorite with the total at 39.5. Confident WR1/WR2 start.

Nico Collins (HOU)

vs. Joey Porter (DAL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Collins has missed Houston's last two games with a hamstring strain but returned as a limited participant Wednesday and is on track to play. He saw 10 targets in his only game, catching 7 for 75 yards and a touchdown. The corner picture is unsettled: Dallas acquired Porter from Pittsburgh on Wednesday after a standoff that kept him inactive for all three Steelers games, so it's unclear whether he's ready to suit up in his first week, and Shavon Revel Jr. and Cobie Durant both missed practice Wednesday. Dallas has allowed the second-highest EPA per dropback in the league. Houston is 0-3 after a 19-17 loss in Indianapolis and favored by 2.5 with the total at 47.5. If he's active, he's a WR1. Confirm his status before lineups lock.

Laquon Treadwell (IND)

vs. Amik Robertson (WAS)   •   Matchup: Risky

Treadwell has stepped into Alec Pierce's outside role with Pierce on injured reserve (heel) and made the most of limited work, 4-for-5 for 81 yards. Robertson's 88.9 PFF grade is one of the toughest on the slate, and Daniel Jones has struggled badly, ranking QB34 in fantasy points per game. Indianapolis is a 3.5-point favorite in London with the total at 47.5. Deep-league dart only.

Brian Thomas (JAX)

vs. DJ Turner II (CIN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Thomas is at 7 catches on 13 targets for 88 yards, and the role is shrinking: his route share fell to 43.8% last week as Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers took over. Turner's 71.2 PFF grade is a genuine problem, and Cincinnati has allowed the second-fewest yards per target to perimeter receivers. The 51.5 total is appealing, but not enough of it flows through Thomas right now. Sit him.

Tyquan Thornton (KC)

vs. Darien Porter (LV)   •   Matchup: Risky

Thornton has been efficient in a small role, 6 catches on 7 targets for 108 yards. The problem is the matchup as a whole: the 3-0 Raiders have allowed the fewest yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter receivers. Kansas City is a 4.5-point road favorite with the total at 47.5. Deep-league only.

Quentin Johnston (LAC)

vs. Josh Jobe (SEA)   •   Matchup: Risky

Johnston leads the Chargers with three deep targets, but the efficiency hasn't followed: 6 catches on 17 targets for 64 yards and 0.79 yards per route run. Justin Herbert is the QB32 in fantasy points per game for an 0-3 team, and Seattle has allowed the fewest yards per attempt in the league and the fourth-fewest yards per target to perimeter receivers. Jobe's 62.6 PFF grade is fair, but the defense around him isn't. Seattle is favored by 7 with the total at 42.5. Bench him.

Davante Adams (LAR)

vs. Quinyon Mitchell (PHI)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Adams has carried the Rams with Puka Nacua out, catching 15 passes for 332 yards and 2 touchdowns over the last two games (18 catches on 29 targets for 358 yards on the season). Nacua is expected back, which could trim the volume, and Mitchell's 68.0 PFF grade is a real test. Matthew Stafford has been playing well, fifth in yards per attempt since Week 2, and the Rams are 3-point road favorites with the total at 43.5 after a 30-26 loss in Denver. Start him as a WR1/WR2.

Jalen Nailor (LV)

vs. Mansoor Delane (KC)   •   Matchup: Risky

Nailor is stuck in a thin role, 5 catches on 11 targets for 52 yards, and Delane's 85.5 PFF grade is one of the toughest on the slate. Kirk Cousins has been steady for a 3-0 Raiders team, but Kansas City has allowed the third-fewest yards per attempt. Kansas City is favored by 4.5 with the total at 47.5. Avoid.

Chris Bell (MIA)

vs. Byron Murphy Jr. (MIN)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Bell is at 5 catches on 10 targets for 92 yards, and his role grew last week with a 19.4% target share and 2.48 yards per route run. It should grow again with Caleb Douglas (ankle) expected to miss this game. The quarterback and the defense are the hurdles: Malik Willis has one of the highest off-target rates in the league, and Minnesota has allowed the lowest passer rating and passing success rate. Murphy's 64.5 PFF grade is a tough one. Minnesota is a 10.5-point favorite with the total at 38.5, and Miami just lost De'Von Achane to a torn ACL, so garbage-time volume is the realistic path. Deep-league flex.

Justin Jefferson (MIN)

vs. Jason Marshall Jr. (MIA)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Jefferson sprained his ankle in the first quarter of the 23-16 win at Tampa Bay and didn't practice Wednesday. Kevin O'Connell said he avoided anything long-term, and he's considered day-to-day, but with Minnesota 3-0 and a 10.5-point favorite over a winless Miami team, there's little reason for the Vikings to push him. On the season, he's at 13 catches on 17 targets for 179 yards and 2 touchdowns. If he plays, the matchup is excellent: Marshall's PFF coverage grade of 58.7 is solid-not-scary, and Miami has allowed the second-most yards per attempt and the most fantasy points per dropback. Inactives come out about 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, after the early games lock, so keep a late-afternoon pivot handy, start Jordan Addison either way, and treat Jefferson as a game-time call.

Romeo Doubs (NE)

vs. Maxwell Hairston (BUF)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Doubs has been explosive when targeted, 6 catches on 11 targets for 145 yards and 3.22 yards per route run, on a 15.1% target share. Buffalo plays a lot of two-high coverage, which is where Doubs has done his best work. The concern is Drake Maye, who ranks QB36 in fantasy points per game with the league's highest turnover-worthy throw rate. Hairston's PFF grade of 57.0 is solid-not-scary. Buffalo is a 6.5-point favorite with the total at 48.5, so New England should be throwing. Boom-or-bust flex.

Chris Olave (NO)

vs. C.J. Henderson (ATL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Olave is at 27 catches on 36 targets for 375 yards and a touchdown, second in the league in routes run, with first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on injured reserve since before the opener. Tyler Shough has been one of the surprises of the season, QB3 in fantasy points per game. Henderson's 68.0 PFF grade and an Atlanta pass rush with the second-best pressure rate make this a real test, but the role is close to matchup-proof. New Orleans is favored by 2.5 on Monday night with the total at 48.5. Start him with confidence.

Malik Nabers (NYG)

vs. Max Melton (ARI)   •   Matchup: Safe

Nabers is at 12 catches on 19 targets for 96 yards, and last week's 5-for-26 line against Tennessee was another quiet one. The role is there, a 27.3% target share and an 81% snap rate last week, but the quarterback play hasn't been: Jameis Winston has the lowest yards per attempt among qualified passers. This is the week to buy back in. Arizona has allowed the most yards per target to perimeter receivers, and Melton's 59.4 PFF grade is a manageable test. Arizona is a 1.5-point road favorite with the total at 44.5. Start him as a WR2.

Adonai Mitchell (NYJ)

vs. Jaylon Johnson (CHI)   •   Matchup: Risky

Mitchell missed Week 3 with a finger injury, sat out again Wednesday, and is considered week-to-week, so plan on him missing another game. He'd been productive when healthy, 9 catches on 15 targets for 123 yards, including 12 targets in Week 2. If he sits, Garrett Wilson and rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq, coming off a breakout game, absorb most of the volume. Johnson is one of the better corners in the league anyway. Leave Mitchell on your bench.

Dontayvion Wicks (PHI)

vs. Trent McDuffie (LAR)   •   Matchup: Risky

Wicks is at 9 catches on 15 targets for 179 yards and a touchdown, with a 17% target share, 2.29 yards per route run, and a route share that rebounded to 77.4%. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, which could push more work his way. McDuffie's 91.9 PFF grade is one of the toughest on the entire slate, though. The Eagles are coming off a 27-7 loss in Chicago, and Dallas Goedert (knee) missed Wednesday's practice again. The Rams are 3-point road favorites with the total at 43.5. Flex with upside if Smith sits, but the corner caps it.

DK Metcalf (PIT)

vs. Tyson Campbell (CLE)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Metcalf has the volume, 11 receptions on a team-high 24 targets with seven deep targets, but not the production: 98 yards, 0.82 yards per route run, and a WR47 ranking in fantasy points per game. Aaron Rodgers has been the QB27, and Cleveland ranks third in pressure rate and plays single-high coverage more than any defense in the league, a look where Metcalf has averaged just 0.61 yards per route run. Campbell's PFF grade of 55.7 is solid-not-scary. Pittsburgh is a 2.5-point favorite tonight with a 38.5 total. A WR3 on volume alone, not a WR1.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA)

vs. Cam Hart (LAC)   •   Matchup: Safe

Smith-Njigba has been the best receiver in football through three weeks: 27 catches on 36 targets for 405 yards and 6 touchdowns. He and Jerry Rice are the only players ever with 120-plus receiving yards and a touchdown in each of a season's first three games, and he and Marvin Harrison Sr. are the only players with 400 yards and six touchdowns through three. He added 10 catches for 128 yards and two scores in last week's 33-31 loss in Washington. Hart's PFF coverage grade of 64.2 is respectable. It hasn't mattered for anyone yet. Seattle is a 7-point favorite over the 0-3 Chargers with the total at 42.5. Obvious must-start.

Mike Evans (SF)

vs. Riley Moss (DEN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Evans was carted off with a rib injury in Sunday's 36-30 win over Arizona and didn't practice Wednesday. Kyle Shanahan said it isn't considered a long-term issue and he's day-to-day, but his availability is in real doubt. When healthy, he's been efficient and trusted near the goal line, 12 catches on 16 targets for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns. Moss's 57.5 PFF grade is solid-not-scary, and Brock Purdy is playing at a high level for a 3-0 team favored by 2.5 with the total at 48.5. If Evans is active, he's a touchdown-dependent WR3 who may be limited. Have a backup plan for this 4:25 p.m. ET game.

Ted Hurst III (TB)

vs. Brandon Cisse (GB)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Hurst has carved out a real role, 6 receptions on 13 targets for 103 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown from Baker Mayfield last week. Cisse's PFF grade of 48.1 is a favorable draw, but the quarterback change is a big downgrade, with undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels making his first start. Green Bay is a 3.5-point road favorite with a 39.5 total, so Tampa Bay should be throwing, just less efficiently. Deep-league dart.

Calvin Ridley (TEN)

vs. Nate Wiggins (BAL)   •   Matchup: Risky

Ridley has been nearly invisible, 2 catches on 3 targets for 35 yards through three games, and Cam Ward ranks QB27 in fantasy points per game. Wiggins' 73.0 PFF grade is one of the tougher covers on the slate, and Baltimore has allowed the 10th-fewest yards per target. The Ravens are 11.5-point favorites with the total at 43.5. Avoid.

Terry McLaurin (WAS)

vs. Sauce Gardner (IND)   •   Matchup: Moderate

McLaurin is at 10 catches on 22 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown, and he still leads Washington with a 28.4% first-read share. He caught a touchdown from Marcus Mariota in the 33-31 upset of Seattle, and Mariota, expected to start again with Jayden Daniels (elbow) limited, ranks seventh in passing success rate. Gardner's 66.2 PFF grade makes this a tough individual draw, but Indianapolis has allowed the third-most yards per attempt. The Colts are 3.5-point favorites in London with the total at 47.5. Solid WR3.

Right Wide Receiver (RWR) vs. Left Cornerback (LCB)

Each team's outside receiver on the right side of the formation against the opponent's left cornerback.

Michael Wilson (ARI)

vs. Deonte Banks (NYG)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Wilson is the real story of Arizona's receiver room: 18 catches on 31 targets for 163 yards and a touchdown, a 25.6% target share, five red-zone targets and a team-leading 35.1% first-read share. The Cardinals backed that up with a three-year, $75 million extension that included $47 million guaranteed. The efficiency (1.38 yards per route run) has lagged the volume, which keeps him in the WR2/WR3 range. Arizona is a 1.5-point favorite with the total at 44.5. Trust the role.

Jahan Dotson (ATL)

vs. Kool-Aid McKinstry (NO)   •   Matchup: Risky

Dotson is stuck at 4 catches on 11 targets for 41 yards, a distant complementary piece now that London has Penix back. McKinstry's 63.2 PFF grade is a manageable test, but the role is the limiter. New Orleans is favored by 2.5 on Monday night with the total at 48.5. Avoid outside of the deepest leagues.

Chris Moore (BAL)

vs. Cor'Dale Flott (TEN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Moore is at 3-for-6 for 63 yards and a touchdown, efficient when the ball comes his way, but with Zay Flowers back near full speed there isn't much left for the third and fourth receivers. Flott's 62.6 PFF grade is solid-not-scary. Baltimore is an 11.5-point favorite with the total at 43.5. Deep-league only.

DJ Moore (BUF)

vs. Carlton Davis III (NE)   •   Matchup: Risky

Moore has been excellent in Buffalo, 11 catches on 18 targets for 167 yards and a touchdown, the WR10 in fantasy points per game across his two full games with a 30.9% target share and 3.55 yards per route run. He was limited Wednesday with a shoulder injury he played through last week, and he's expected to play. The matchup is the concern: Davis carries an 83.3 PFF grade, and New England could use Christian Gonzalez to shadow him instead. Buffalo is a 6.5-point favorite with the total at 48.5. Still a WR2 on volume, but the ceiling takes a hit.

Xavier Legette (CAR)

vs. Rock Ya-Sin (DET)   •   Matchup: Risky

Legette has just 2 catches on 6 targets for 64 yards in two games and didn't practice Wednesday with a knee injury. Ya-Sin's PFF grade points to a beatable corner, but the role and the health are both problems. Bench him.

Luther Burden (CHI)

vs. Azareye'h Thomas (NYJ)   •   Matchup: Risky

Burden has been Chicago's most trusted target lately, 15-for-23 for 156 yards and a touchdown, including an 8-yard score Monday night. He leads the Bears with a 32.8% first-read share and six red-zone targets. The quarterback is the question, with Caleb Williams out and the Bears keeping their Keenum-or-Bagent decision quiet. Thomas's PFF coverage grade of 68.3 makes this a tough individual matchup, and the Jets have allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target. Chicago is favored by 3.5 with the total at 42.5. Downgrade him to WR3/flex, but don't bench him.

Tee Higgins (CIN)

vs. Travis Hunter (JAX)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Higgins is at 14 catches on 23 targets for 244 yards and a touchdown, an every-week factor next to Chase. Hunter's 60.0 PFF grade is fair. Cincinnati is favored by 2.5 and this game carries the slate's highest total at 51.5. Start him as a WR2.

Jerry Jeudy (CLE)

vs. Asante Samuel Jr. (PIT)   •   Matchup: Risky

Jeudy has been phased out of Cleveland's offense, 2 catches on 5 targets for 26 yards all season, while rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion have combined for 21 catches on 35 targets. Trade speculation is building ahead of the deadline. Samuel's PFF coverage grade of 49.0 is a favorable draw, but it's irrelevant given the role. Pittsburgh is a 2.5-point favorite tonight with the total at 38.5. Avoid.

CeeDee Lamb (DAL)

vs. Derek Stingley (HOU)   •   Matchup: Safe

Lamb has been dominant, 20 catches on 25 targets for 309 yards and 3 touchdowns, with Dak Prescott ranking eighth in passing success rate and second in highly accurate throw rate. Stingley's PFF coverage grade of 58.0 is solid-not-scary, and Houston has allowed the seventh-highest yards per attempt and the third-highest completion percentage over expected. Houston is favored by 2.5 with the total at 47.5, and Dallas is coming off a 34-31 loss to Baltimore. Full start.

Jaylen Waddle (DEN)

vs. Renardo Green (SF)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Waddle is at 11 catches on 20 targets for 150 yards, and his role has grown: over the last two games he has a 26.2% target share, a 35.1% first-read share, and 3.08 yards per route run. He practiced fully on Wednesday after dealing with a foot issue. Green's 66.3 PFF grade is a real test on the outside, but San Francisco has allowed the third-most yards per target to slot receivers, so how often Denver moves him inside matters. The 49ers are favored by 2.5 with the total at 48.5. Bo Nix's struggles keep it from being a full upgrade. WR3 with upside.

Jameson Williams (DET)

vs. Akayleb Evans (CAR)   •   Matchup: Risky

Williams has become a trust problem: 10 catches on 17 targets for 127 yards, a 10% target share and 42.3 yards per game, his lowest mark since 2023. Isaac TeSlaa out-gained him last week, 66 yards to 49. Carolina has allowed the sixth-fewest yards per target and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter receivers, though losing Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson to injured reserve weakens that unit. Detroit is favored by 3.5 with the total at 50.5. Boom-or-bust bench candidate until the targets show up.

Matthew Golden (GB)

vs. Zyon McCollum (TB)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Golden is at 15 catches on 30 targets for 253 yards and a touchdown, with a 22.6% target share, four red-zone targets and the third-most targeted air yards at the position. McCollum's 65.4 PFF grade makes this a tough individual matchup, but Golden has earned targets at a strong rate against single-high coverage, which is Tampa Bay's tendency. Green Bay is favored by 3.5 with the total at 39.5. WR3 with upside.

Kayshon Boutte (HOU)

vs. DaRon Bland (DAL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Boutte is at 6 receptions on 9 targets for 79 yards. Houston traded for him in late August after Jayden Higgins tore his ACL, and he's been part of the patchwork group while Nico Collins was out. Bland's PFF grade of 62.1 is a middle-of-the-pack draw against a Dallas secondary that has injuries. Collins' expected return should help the offense as a whole but cuts into Boutte's share. Deep-league flex.

Keenan Allen (IND)

vs. Rasul Douglas (WAS)   •   Matchup: Safe

Allen is trending up in his first season in Indianapolis: 13 catches on 20 targets for 100 yards and a touchdown, a WR19 finish last week, a 20.4% target share, and the team's second-highest first-read share. Alec Pierce's move to injured reserve (heel) opens more volume. Douglas's PFF coverage grade of 49.7 reflects a corner who's been getting worked, and Washington has allowed the most passing touchdowns and the fifth-most yards per attempt. Indianapolis is favored by 3.5 in London with the total at 47.5. Daniel Jones is the drag, but Allen is a strong flex.

Jakobi Meyers (JAX)

vs. Tacario Davis (CIN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Meyers has been efficient, 10 catches on 11 targets for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns, but his target share is just 13.6% with Parker Washington leading the room. He was limited Wednesday with the thumb issue he's managed all season, and Cincinnati could use DJ Turner II to shadow him. The Bengals have allowed the second-fewest yards per target to perimeter receivers. Cincinnati is favored by 2.5 with the total at 51.5. Touchdown-dependent flex.

Xavier Worthy (KC)

vs. Eric Stokes (LV)   •   Matchup: Risky

Worthy is at 10 catches on 15 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown, and his role shrank to an 8.3% target share last week as Rashee Rice took over. The Raiders have allowed the fewest yards per target to perimeter receivers. Kansas City is favored by 4.5 with the total at 47.5. Sit him.

Tre' Harris (LAC)

vs. Devon Witherspoon (SEA)   •   Matchup: Risky

Harris is at 10 catches on 16 targets for 149 yards in a complementary role. Witherspoon's 64.7 PFF grade is a real problem, and the bigger issue is Justin Herbert's slow start against a Seattle defense that has allowed the fewest yards per attempt. Seattle is favored by 7 with the total at 42.5. Bench him.

Puka Nacua (LAR)

vs. Riq Woolen (PHI)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Nacua caught 5 passes for 74 yards in Week 1 and has missed the last two games with a hip/groin injury tied to his psoas. He returned to a limited practice Wednesday, and Sean McVay expects him to play Sunday in Philadelphia, though surgery hasn't been entirely ruled out if it doesn't respond. Woolen's PFF coverage grade of 58.6 is a manageable test, and the Rams are 3-point favorites with the total at 43.5. Start him as a WR2 if he's active, but Davante Adams is the safer play in this room this week.

Cody White (LV)

vs. Nohl Williams (KC)   •   Matchup: Risky

White has been pure boom, 3 catches on 6 targets for 28 yards but 3 touchdowns, as touchdown-dependent a profile as exists on the slate. Williams' 72.9 PFF grade is a real problem, and the Chiefs have been stingy against the pass. Kansas City is favored by 4.5 with the total at 47.5. The scoring pace isn't sustainable. Bench him.

Caleb Douglas (MIA)

vs. Isaiah Rodgers (MIN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Douglas had 7 catches on 10 targets for 113 yards in his first two games, but he didn't practice Wednesday with an ankle injury and is expected to miss this one. Rodgers' 85.1 PFF grade would have made it a tough draw regardless. Chris Bell is the Miami receiver who benefits.

Jordan Addison (MIN)

vs. JuJu Brents (MIA)   •   Matchup: Safe

Addison is at 7 catches on 16 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown, and he stepped up after Jefferson left last week, catching 5 passes for 90 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown from Kyler Murray. Murray has struggled as a passer, but Miami has allowed the second-most yards per attempt, the highest passing success rate, and the most fantasy points per dropback. Brents' PFF grade points to a beatable corner. Minnesota is a 10.5-point favorite with the total at 38.5. A must-start if Jefferson sits and a strong WR3 even if he plays.

Mack Hollins (NE)

vs. Christian Benford (BUF)   •   Matchup: Safe

Hollins is at 12-for-16 for 156 yards and leads New England with a 20.8% target share and a 26.5% first-read share. Benford's PFF grade of 38.8 is a favorable draw. Buffalo is a 6.5-point favorite with the total at 48.5, so New England should be throwing plenty, though Drake Maye's turnover issues keep this a flex play rather than a lock.

Bryce Lance (NO)

vs. Mike Hughes (ATL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Lance is at 4 catches on 8 targets for 50 yards, a complementary piece behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele. Hughes' 40.3 PFF grade is a beatable matchup, but there isn't enough volume to trust. New Orleans is favored by 2.5 on Monday night with the total at 48.5. Deep-league only.

Malachi Fields (NYG)

vs. Denzel Burke (ARI)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Fields is at 6 catches on 12 targets for 74 yards in a complementary role behind Malik Nabers. Burke's 46.0 PFF grade and an Arizona defense that has allowed the most yards per target to perimeter receivers make this a favorable draw, but Jameis Winston's inefficiency limits how much of it reaches the second option. Arizona is favored by 1.5 with the total at 44.5. Deep-league flex.

Garrett Wilson (NYJ)

vs. Tyrique Stevenson Sr. (CHI)   •   Matchup: Safe

Wilson is at 21-for-27 for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns, leading the Jets in targets, and Geno Smith is coming off a QB3 finish in last week's 31-24 loss in Detroit. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) likely out again, Wilson has little competition among the receivers, with rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq the other main option. Chicago is favored by 3.5 with the total at 42.5, so New York could be throwing from behind. Must-start.

DeVonta Smith (PHI)

vs. Emmanuel Forbes (LAR)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Smith is at 19 receptions on 27 targets for 235 yards and a touchdown. He played through his hamstring injury Monday night and led the Eagles' pass catchers in the loss to Chicago, but he didn't practice Wednesday. The Rams' corner situation is in flux too: Jaylen Watson (shoulder) was carted off in Denver, and Emmanuel Forbes is the likely replacement. Jalen Hurts was evaluated for a concussion Monday but cleared to return. The Rams are 3-point favorites with the total at 43.5. A WR2 if active. Check Friday's report.

Michael Pittman (PIT)

vs. Denzel Ward (CLE)   •   Matchup: Risky

Pittman is at 5 catches on 8 targets for 74 yards in two games, a 10.7% target share with zero deep or red-zone targets. Ward's 90.5 PFF grade is one of the toughest covers on the slate, and Cleveland's heavy single-high looks have kept Pittman's target rate low. Pittsburgh is a 2.5-point favorite tonight with the total at 38.5. Sit him.

Rashid Shaheed (SEA)

vs. Tarheeb Still (LAC)   •   Matchup: Risky

Shaheed is at 6-for-12 for 53 yards, a quiet complementary role behind Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Still's 77.9 PFF grade is a tough individual matchup. Seattle is favored by 7 with the total at 42.5. Boom-or-bust at best.

Jacob Cowing (SF)

vs. Pat Surtain II (DEN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Cowing has no catches on 2 targets, a true depth piece, though Mike Evans' rib injury could open some snaps. Surtain's early-season PFF grade of 48.6 is lower than usual, but I wouldn't bet on that lasting. San Francisco is favored by 2.5 with the total at 48.5. Deep-league dart only if Evans sits.

Emeka Egbuka (TB)

vs. Keisean Nixon (GB)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Egbuka is Tampa Bay's No. 1, 13 catches on 20 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown with a 20.2% target share, and he's scored double-digit PPR points every week. The quarterback change is the problem. Jalon Daniels is a dual-threat rookie making his first NFL start, so expect fewer pass attempts and a lower floor. Green Bay is a 3.5-point road favorite with the total at 39.5. Downgrade him to a WR3.

Carnell Tate (TEN)

vs. Marlon Humphrey (BAL)   •   Matchup: Risky

Tate is at 13-for-20 for 123 yards, with a 22.7% target share and a 31% first-read share, a real rookie role even if the big plays haven't come. Humphrey's 75.1 PFF grade is a tough matchup, and Baltimore has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity. The Ravens are 11.5-point favorites with the total at 43.5. Sit him.

Dyami Brown (WAS)

vs. Charvarius Ward (IND)   •   Matchup: Risky

Brown's role has stayed small, 4 catches on 9 targets for 21 yards. Ward's 57.5 PFF grade is solid-not-scary, but there's no volume to work with. Indianapolis is favored by 3.5 in London with the total at 47.5. Avoid.

Slot Receiver vs. Nickel Corner

Each team's primary slot receiver against the opponent's nickel corner.

Kendrick Bourne (ARI)

vs. Dru Phillips (NYG)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Bourne is at 12 catches on 14 targets for 108 yards, an efficient underneath option for Jacoby Brissett, who gets the ball out faster than any qualified quarterback. Phillips' PFF grade of 56.0 is a manageable test. Arizona is favored by 1.5 with the total at 44.5. PPR flex in deeper leagues.

Olamide Zaccheaus (ATL)

vs. Jonas Sanker (NO)   •   Matchup: Risky

Zaccheaus is buried, 4-for-6 for 17 yards, behind London and the Falcons' other options. The role is the limiter more than the matchup. Avoid.

Zay Flowers (BAL)

vs. Marcus Harris (TEN)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Flowers has been absurdly efficient when healthy, 10 catches on 12 targets for 234 yards and a touchdown in two games, 9.36 yards per route run. His hamstring kept him on a reduced workload last week (63.6% route share), but he was limited Wednesday after not practicing the week before and is trending toward a full role. Harris's PFF coverage grade of 84.3 is one of the tougher covers on the slate, which keeps the grade at Moderate, but Baltimore is an 11.5-point favorite with Lamar Jackson (back) expected to play. Start him as a WR2 with WR1 upside.

Khalil Shakir (BUF)

vs. Marcus Jones (NE)   •   Matchup: Risky

Shakir is at 8 catches on 15 targets for 94 yards and ranks WR75 in fantasy points per game, losing work to DJ Moore. Jones' 65.7 PFF grade is a real problem, and New England has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target to slot receivers. Buffalo is a 6.5-point favorite with the total at 48.5. Deep PPR leagues only.

Jalen Coker (CAR)

vs. Roger McCreary (DET)   •   Matchup: Risky

Coker has been outstanding, 18-for-22 for 222 yards and 2 touchdowns, but he strained his quad in the third quarter of last week's 21-18 loss at Cleveland after catching 2 passes for 18 yards. The injury is considered relatively minor, but he didn't practice Wednesday and is questionable for Sunday night. McCreary's PFF grade points to a beatable corner if he does play. Since this is the Sunday night game, his status may not be settled until well after the afternoon games lock, so only start him if you have a late-game fallback.

Kalif Raymond (CHI)

vs. Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (NYJ)   •   Matchup: Risky

Raymond has scored at least 9 PPR points every week and sits at 19 receptions on 21 targets for 214 yards and a touchdown, including 6 catches for 90 yards and a 41-yard score Monday night. He's the WR14 in fantasy points per game with 2.85 yards per route run. The quarterback is still unannounced, though, and Brownlee's PFF grade of 76.5 is a tough individual matchup against a Jets defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target. Chicago is favored by 3.5 with the total at 42.5. Flex, not a WR2.

Dohnte Meyers (CIN)

vs. Jourdan Lewis (JAX)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Meyers, a training-camp standout who made the roster as the primary returner, is in line for more slot work with Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on injured reserve. He has 4 catches on 7 targets for 47 yards so far, and rookie Colbie Young figures to see some of the boundary snaps. Lewis's PFF coverage grade of 46.8 is a beatable matchup. Cincinnati is favored by 2.5 with the slate's highest total at 51.5. Deep-league streamer, with the caveat that Chase, Higgins, and Mike Gesicki will take most of the volume.

KC Concepcion Jr. (CLE)

vs. Jalen Ramsey (PIT)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Concepcion leads Cleveland with a 22.9% target share and a 30.4% first-read share, but 12 catches on 20 targets for 80 yards and 1.01 yards per route run tell you the efficiency hasn't come yet. Ramsey is questionable tonight with a wrist injury he's described as broken, and backup Brandin Echols (concussion) is also questionable, so the nickel spot could be in flux. Pittsburgh is favored by 2.5 with the total at 38.5. PPR flex on Thursday night.

Ryan Flournoy (DAL)

vs. Jalen Pitre (HOU)   •   Matchup: Risky

Flournoy is at 9-for-18 for 67 yards, a distant third option behind Lamb and Pickens. The game environment is good (47.5 total), but there's not enough volume left. Deep-league only.

Pat Bryant (DEN)

vs. Upton Stout (SF)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Bryant is at 6 catches on 9 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in a crowded Denver room. Stout's 59.0 PFF grade is solid-not-scary, and San Francisco has allowed the third-most yards per target to slot receivers. The 49ers are favored by 2.5 with the total at 48.5. Deep-league flex.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET)

vs. Tre'von Moehrig (CAR)   •   Matchup: Safe

St. Brown has been one of the best receivers in football, 23 catches on 35 targets for 228 yards and 5 touchdowns, with six red-zone targets that tie for the league lead. Carolina's secondary is short-handed after losing Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson to injured reserve. Detroit is a 3.5-point road favorite with the total at 50.5. No hesitation.

Skyy Moore (GB)

vs. Keionte Scott (TB)   •   Matchup: Risky

Moore is at 5-for-11 for 37 yards, a quiet complementary piece. Scott's 73.3 PFF grade is one of the tougher covers on the slate. Green Bay is favored by 3.5 with the total at 39.5. Avoid.

Xavier Hutchinson (HOU)

vs. Caleb Downs (DAL)   •   Matchup: Risky

Hutchinson is at 9 receptions on 21 targets for 120 yards, real volume while Nico Collins was out, but Collins' expected return should cut into his share. C.J. Stroud has been a QB2 so far, ranking QB15 in fantasy points per game. Houston is favored by 2.5 with the total at 47.5. Deep-league only.

Josh Downs (IND)

vs. Nick Cross (WAS)   •   Matchup: Safe

Downs has been Daniel Jones' most trusted target, 14 catches on 24 targets for 186 yards, with a 24.5% target share, a team-leading 31.5% first-read share and 2.07 yards per route run. Washington has allowed the second-most yards per target to slot receivers since the start of 2025, and Cross missed Wednesday's practice with an illness. Indianapolis is favored by 3.5 in London with the total at 47.5. Start him as a WR2/WR3.

Parker Washington (JAX)

vs. Dax Hill (CIN)   •   Matchup: Safe

Washington has been Jacksonville's top target through three games, 15-for-23 for 221 yards and 2 touchdowns, well ahead of Brian Thomas Hill's PFF grade reflects a solid corner, but the 2-1 Jaguars are coming off a 35-6 rout of New England, and this game carries the slate's highest total at 51.5, with Cincinnati favored by 2.5. Confident start.

Rashee Rice (KC)

vs. Taron Johnson (LV)   •   Matchup: Safe

Rice has put his offseason knee issues behind him: 13 catches on 17 targets for 190 yards and a touchdown, with 80-plus yards in each of his last two games. Last week he caught 7 of 9 targets for 88 yards against Miami, a 37.5% target share and a 38.9% first-read share. Johnson's PFF coverage grade of 60.1 is middle-of-the-pack, and while the Raiders have been tough on outside receivers, Rice does most of his damage underneath. Patrick Mahomes is on the injury report with a knee issue but practiced fully. Kansas City is a 4.5-point road favorite against the 3-0 Raiders with the total at 47.5. Confident WR2.

Ladd McConkey (LAC)

vs. Nick Emmanwori (SEA)   •   Matchup: Moderate

McConkey is at 12 catches on 15 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown, but last week's usage was a step back: a 14.7% target share and a 19% first-read share, both third on the team. Justin Herbert has yet to top 15 fantasy points in a game, and Seattle has allowed the fewest yards per attempt in the league. Seattle is a 7-point favorite with the total at 42.5, so the Chargers should be throwing. Flex, not a WR2.

Jordan Whittington (LAR)

vs. Cooper DeJean (PHI)   •   Matchup: Risky

Whittington has 1 catch for 8 yards in two games, and Konata Mumpfield (5 catches, 105 yards, a touchdown) has been the more productive depth receiver. DeJean is one of the better nickel defenders in the league. With Nacua expected back, there's nothing here. Avoid.

Tre Tucker (LV)

vs. L'Jarius Sneed (KC)   •   Matchup: Risky

Tucker is at 11 receptions on 15 targets for 189 yards and a touchdown, but his target share sits at 12.7%. Kansas City has allowed the third-fewest yards per attempt, and Kirk Cousins will have a tough time pushing the ball downfield. The Chiefs are favored by 4.5 with the total at 47.5. Sit him.

Malik Washington (MIA)

vs. Jay Ward (MIN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Washington has the volume, 12 catches on 23 targets for 152 yards with a 26.7% target share, but he hasn't topped 12 PPR points in any game. De'Von Achane's season-ending ACL tear could mean more screens, but Minnesota has allowed the ninth-fewest yards per target to slot receivers and the lowest passer rating overall. The Vikings are 10.5-point favorites with the total at 38.5. Deep PPR leagues only.

Jauan Jennings (MIN)

vs. Chris Johnson (MIA)   •   Matchup: Risky

Jennings has barely factored in, 1 catch on 3 targets for 1 yard in two games. Johnson's 47.9 PFF grade is a soft matchup, and Jefferson's ankle could mean extra snaps, but Addison is the receiver who benefits most. Deep-league dart only if Jefferson is ruled out.

DeMario Douglas (NE)

vs. Dee Alford (BUF)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Douglas is at 7 receptions on 14 targets for 67 yards, a short-area option in New England's crowded receiver group. Alford's PFF grade of 37.9 is a favorable draw, and New England should be throwing as a 6.5-point underdog. Deep PPR flex.

Devaughn Vele (NO)

vs. Billy Bowman Jr. (ATL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Vele is at 15 catches on 22 targets for 172 yards and a touchdown and leads the league in routes run as the starter opposite Olave while Jordyn Tyson is on injured reserve. The matchup is tougher than it looks: Atlanta has allowed the fifth-fewest yards per target and second-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers. New Orleans is favored by 2.5 on Monday night with the total at 48.5. WR3/flex.

Darnell Mooney (NYG)

vs. Garrett Williams (ARI)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Mooney is at 6-for-8 for 95 yards, a quiet floor behind Nabers in a Jameis Winston offense that has struggled to push the ball. Arizona has been generous to receivers, but the target share is the concern. Flex only in deep leagues.

Isaiah Williams (NYJ)

vs. Malik Muhammad II (CHI)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Williams is at 8 catches on 9 targets for 62 yards, an efficient complementary piece. Muhammad's 54.1 PFF grade is fair. Chicago is favored by 3.5 with the total at 42.5, so the Jets could be throwing late. Deep-league flex.

Makai Lemon (PHI)

vs. Quentin Lake (LAR)   •   Matchup: Risky

Lemon is at 7 catches on 9 targets for 38 yards with a 10.2% target share and 0.45 yards per route run. There's upside if DeVonta Smith misses time, but it's a stash, not a start.

Roman Wilson (PIT)

vs. Myles Harden (CLE)   •   Matchup: Risky

Wilson is at 11-for-18 for 114 yards and a touchdown, a real role behind Metcalf. Harden's 81.2 PFF grade is a genuine problem, and Aaron Rodgers has struggled under pressure against a Cleveland front that ranks third in pressure rate. Pittsburgh is favored by 2.5 tonight with the total at 38.5. Avoid.

Cooper Kupp (SEA)

vs. Derwin James (LAC)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Kupp is at 8 receptions on 10 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown, still running crisp routes out of the slot. James is a tough matchup, but the Chargers have allowed the seventh-most yards per attempt, and Sam Darnold is coming off a 379-yard, four-touchdown game. Seattle is a 7-point favorite with the total at 42.5. WR3/flex.

Deebo Samuel (SF)

vs. Ja'Quan McMillian (DEN)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Samuel has been productive in a versatile role, 9 catches on 11 targets for 159 yards and 2 touchdowns, plus 30 rushing yards, good for WR22 in fantasy points per game. McMillian's 69.3 PFF grade is a real problem, but with Mike Evans' ribs in question, Samuel could see more looks. San Francisco is favored by 2.5 with the total at 48.5. Solid WR3 with upside.

Chris Godwin (TB)

vs. Javon Bullard (GB)   •   Matchup: Risky

Godwin is at 10-for-11 for 111 yards, but he's the WR59 in fantasy points per game with an 11.1% target share and no red-zone or deep targets. Now he's dealing with a new ankle injury that kept him out Wednesday, and Jalon Daniels is under center. Sit him.

Wan'Dale Robinson (TEN)

vs. Kyle Hamilton (BAL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Robinson is at 13 receptions on 18 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown, and he led Tennessee with 11 targets last week for a WR18 finish. Hamilton is one of the league's best defenders, but Baltimore has allowed the ninth-most yards per target to slot receivers, and an 11.5-point spread points to Tennessee throwing a lot. Cam Ward's struggles cap the ceiling. PPR flex.

Stefon Diggs (WAS)

vs. Justin Walley (IND)   •   Matchup: Safe

Diggs has 13 catches on 22 targets for 135 yards and 3 touchdowns, ranks WR17 in fantasy points per game, and leads Washington with four red-zone targets. Marcus Mariota threw three touchdowns in last week's upset of Seattle and is expected to start again. Walley's PFF grade points to a fair test, and Indianapolis has allowed the third-most yards per attempt. The Colts are 3.5-point favorites in London with the total at 47.5. Start him as a WR2.
