Left WR vs Right CB
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Marvin Harrison	ARI	10.1 / 8.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Riq Woolen	SEA	Moderate
It was a down week for the Cardinals offense, and Marvin Harrison was no exception. MHJ finished week 3 with just 3 receptions for 44 yards on 6 targets. His day could have looked a lot better but had an unfortunate drop on what would have been a big play that he could have possibly scored on. MHJ remains the 2nd option in this passing offense behind Trey McBride and is still a fringe WR2 or strong flex option despite a couple of down weeks.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Darnell Mooney	ATL	6.2 / 4.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Marshon Lattimore	WAS	Safe
The good news for Darnell Mooney is that he saw a team high 11 targets in Week 3. The bad news is that it only resulted in 4 receptions and 44 yards. It’s exciting to see Mooney so involved in only his second game of the season, and he should continue to be a top 2 option in this passing offense. Mooney is a solid flex option this week
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Rashod Bateman	BAL	7.9 / 6.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Trent McDuffie	KC	Risky
All of those routes Rashod Bateman has been running this season finally turned into some production in Week 3, where Bateman saw a team high 7 targets that he turned into 5 receptions for 63 yards and a TD. Despite the big week, he’s still more of a WR4 or WR5 until he can show more consistent production.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Keon Coleman	BUF	12.9 / 10.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kool-Aid McKinstry	NO	Moderate
After a big game in Week 1, Keon Coleman has now had back-to-back games with 4 or less targets and has failed to eclipse 30+ receiving yards each week as well. It appears Coleman could still be more of a boom-or-bust player instead of the consistent year two breakout we were hoping we would get after Week 1. He’s more of a WR3 or flex option than a must start, but the matchup isn’t one you have to avoid.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tetairoa McMillan	CAR	12.9 / 10.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Alex Austin	NE	Safe
The Carolina Panthers passing offense has been Tetairoa McMillan and then everyone else. McMillan once again led the Panthers in targets in Week 3, and had double the amount of targets of the next closest Panthers pass catcher. Bryce Young’s struggles does cap his upside, but he’s a must start player every week regardless of matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
DJ Moore	CHI	10.7 / 8.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kyu Kelly	LV	Moderate
DJ Moore saved his fantasy day with his first receiving touchdown of the year, but only ended the game with 4 receptions for 21 yards on 5 targets. Moore has seen at least 5 targets in all 3 games this year, but his upside has been capped with the emergence of second year WR Rome Odunze. Moore will be a WR3 for me in rankings this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Ja'Marr Chase	CIN	18 / 14.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Pat Surtain	DEN	Risky
Things were about as bad as you could imagine for the Bengals offense in the first game without QB Joe Burrow, but Ja'Marr Chase is a must start regardless. Chase still led the team with 6 targets, but his upside is capped with Jake Browning starting at QB. Despite the poor QB play and the poor matchup, Chase is still a borderline top 5 WR on a weekly basis and a must start.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Cedric Tillman	CLE	10.7 / 9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Terrion Arnold	DET	Safe
The Browns pulled off a huge upset over the Green Bay Packers, but it was no thanks to the offense. Just to give you an idea of how gross it was, Cedric Tillman led all Browns WRs with 26 receiving yards in Week 3. Tillman was limited in practice Wednesday, which is something to keep an eye on if you’re considering playing him.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
George Pickens	DAL	13.9 / 11.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Carrington Valentine	GB	Risky
As wild as it sounds, George Pickens now has back-to-back games with 5 receptions and 68 yards on 9 targets. He found the end zone in each of the last two games as well. While the matchup is difficult this week, Pickens is a must start and a top 15 WR for me with CeeDee Lamb out with an injury.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Courtland Sutton	DEN	15.5 / 13.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Cam Taylor-Britt	CIN	Moderate
Courtland Sutton might have had a down Week 2, but he wasted no time reminding fantasy managers who the WR1 is for this Broncos offense, with 8 targets in Week 3 which was double the amount of any other Denver pass catcher. Sutton had 6 receptions for 118 yards and scored a TD as well. Sutton is a borderline top 15 WR and must start fantasy asset regardless of the matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jameson Williams	DET	11.6 / 10.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Greg Newsome	CLE	Safe
Fantasy managers were hoping for more consistent production out of Jameson Williams this year, but through three weeks he remains a more boom-or-bust type of player with one game of 100+ receiving yards but two games with less than 45 yards. Williams is still a fringe top 24 WR and should be started in most formats in the plus matchup against Cleveland this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Romeo Doubs	GB	8.4 / 7.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Trevon Diggs	DAL	Safe
It was a down week for the Packers offense against a tough Browns defense, but they should quickly bounce back this week against a Cowboys pass defense that has gotten beaten up every single week this year. He doesn’t carry a ton of weekly upside, but Doubs should be a solid WR3 in this plus matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Nico Collins	HOU	15.4 / 12.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
L'Jarius Sneed	TEN	Moderate
The Texans passing offense hasn’t always been pretty this year, but Nico Collins is the clear WR1 for this offense with 9+ targets and a receiving TD and back-to-back weeks. He also had a season high 104 receiving yards in Week 3, and is still a must start top 10 WR for fantasy managers.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Alec Pierce	IND	8.7 / 7.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Cobie Durant	LAR	Moderate
Alec Pierce suffered a concussion in Week 3, so his Week 4 status is still up in the air. Even if he ends up being active, he’s someone that should be avoided in all formats as the 4th option at best in this passing offense.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Brian Thomas	JAC	8.5 / 7.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Renardo Green	SF	Safe
Brian Thomas was active in Week 3 despite wrist injury concerns that had him limited in practice. He had two catches for 55 yards, including a pivotal 46-yard reception late in the game that set up the Jaguars' game-winning score. He’s still a borderline top 24 WR for me this week, but it’s not ideal seeing him being out targeted by both Brenton Strange and Parker Washington.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tyquan Thornton	KC	12.7 / 11.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Chidobe Awuzie	BAL	Moderate
Tyquan Thornton has now put together back-to-back impressive weeks with 59+ yards and a TD in each game. Despite the strong performance, Thornton is likely to be more affected than anyone in this offense by the expected return of Xavier Worthy. I’d be careful putting him back in your lineup this week if Worthy is active.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Dont'e Thornton	LV	4.8 / 4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Nahshon Wright	CHI	Safe
Dont’e Thornton only has 5 receptions on the season and has yet to top 50 receiving yards in a single game. Thornton should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Quentin Johnston	LAC	18.6 / 16.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Paulson Adebo	NYG	Safe
Quentin Johnston held his own in a tough matchup with Broncos CB Pat Surtain, finishing his day with 6 receptions and 89 yards on 10 targets. It appears the breakout is real for the former first round WR. If he can play that well against the Broncos secondary, he should be just fine against the Giants. I’ve got Johnston as a borderline top 24 WR for Week 4.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Davante Adams	LAR	16.4 / 14.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Xavien Howard	IND	Moderate
Davante Adams continues to be the clear 1B in the Rams passing offense, and without a clear 3rd option, is a must start every week. I’ve got Adams inside my top 10 WRs for Week 4.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jaylen Waddle	MIA	13.2 / 10.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Brandon Stephens	NYJ	Safe
Jaylen Waddle ended Week 3 with only 5 receptions and 39 yards on 6 targets, but saved his fantasy day with a touchdown. Waddle did go into the game questionable with an injury, which could have played a part in his lack of production. If Tyreek Hill ends up drawing the majority of the coverage from Sauce Gardner, Waddle could have a solid game with the rest of the Jets secondary being much easier to handle.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Justin Jefferson	MIN	12.8 / 10.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Brandon Echols	PIT	Moderate
Unsurprisingly, Justin Jefferson led Vikings pass catchers with 5 receptions for 75 yards on 7 targets. There’s not much to say here. It doesn’t matter who the QB is and it doesn’t matter what the matchup is, you’re starting Justin Jefferson no matter what.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Kayshon Boutte	NE	10.9 / 9.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jaycee Horn	CAR	Risky
Kayshon Boutte continues to play the highest snap percentage among Patriots WRs, however, this hasn’t led to consistent fantasy production. After an impressive Week 1, Boutte has been held under 30 receiving yards for two straight weeks. Things won’t get any easier against Panthers CB Jayee Horn this week either. I’m avoiding Boutte this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Brandin Cooks	NO	5.2 / 3.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Taron Johnson	BUF	Safe
As the 5th option in the Saints passing offense, Cooks should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Darius Slayton	NYG	5 / 4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Trent McDuffie	LAC	Risky
Darius Slayton is a full-time outside WR for the Giants offense, but that shouldn’t mean anything for fantasy managers as he’s still the WR3 behind slot WR Wan’Dale Robinson as well. Slayton should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Garrett Wilson	NYJ	18.6 / 15.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Rasul Douglas	MIA	Safe
Despite starting QB Justin Fields missing Week 3, Tyrod Taylor picked up right where Fields and Garrett Wilson left off. Wilson once again led all Jets pass catchers with 13 targets, while no other WR had more than 3 targets. Neither the QB or matchup should matter, you’re starting Garrett Wilson on a weekly basis.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
A.J. Brown	PHI	11.8 / 9.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jamel Dean	TB	Moderate
It was nice to see A.J. Brown get back on track, even if it took the Eagles falling behind early in their game to make it happen. You could use this opportunity to try to sell high on A.J. Brown if you’re still worried, but as the clear WR1 in the offense, I don’t think you have to sell him. I’ve got Brown once again inside my top 12 WRs for Week 4.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Roman Wilson	PIT	0.6 / 1.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Byron Murphy	MIN	Moderate
Roman Wilson might technically be the Steelers WR3, but once you factor in the RBs and TEs, Wilson might be the 5th or 6th option in this pass attack at best. Wilson should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Kendrick Bourne	SF	7 / 5.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Tyson Campbell	JAC	Safe
Kendrick Bourne should continue to operate as the 49ers WR3 until Brandon Aiyuk is healthy, but should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jaxon Smith-Njigba	SEA	21.8 / 17.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kei'Trel Clark	ARI	Moderate
Despite the fact that Sam Darnold only had 14 completions and 218 passing yards, Jaxson Smith-Njigba still finished with 5 receptions for 96 yards and caught his first touchdown of the season. There’s not much to say here, JSN is a must start top 5 WR moving forward.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tez Johnson	TB	0 / 0
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Quinyon Mitchell	PHI	Moderate
Tez Johnson is in this article due to the Mike Evans injury, but that doesn’t mean fantasy managers should be playing him. After Egbuka, the targets are very likely to be spread out, and Chris Godwin could potentially return in Week 4 as well. Johnson can be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Elic Ayomanor	TEN	10.9 / 9.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kamari Lassiter	HOU	Risky
Elic Ayomanor might already be the Titans best pass catcher despite being only 3 games into his rookie season. I fully expected Calvin Ridley to be the guy, but it’s tough to argue with the results. Ayomanor now has back-to-back games with a TD, and appears to have a stronger connection than Ridley with rookie QB Cam Ward. Despite the hot start, I don’t believe he’s someone you have to start against this difficult Houston secondary. I’ve got Ayomanor just inside my top 60 WRs for Week 4.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Terry McLaurin	WAS	8.3 / 6.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Dee Alford	ATL	Safe
Terry McLaurin led all Washington pass catchers with 4 targets in Week 3, which turned into 3 receptions for 74 yards. He’s currently nursing a quad injury, and is questionable to play, but has a great matchup if he does end up suiting up.


Right WR vs Left CB
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Michael Wilson	ARI	3.7 / 3.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Josh Jobe	SEA	Risky
Michael Wilson ran the 2nd most routes among Cardinals WRs in Week 3, but was still outproduced by both Zay Jones and Greg Dortch. Wilson has now started the season with three straight games with one reception, and is someone that you should continue to avoid in all formats regardless of the matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Drake London	ATL	10.3 / 7.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Trey Amos	WAS	Moderate
It was an awful week for the Atlanta offense, but Drake London still saw 8 targets which he turned into 5 receptions for 55 yards. If QB Michael Penix continues to struggle, it’s unlikely that London can reach his ceiling outcomes, but he’s still a borderline top 12 WR on a weekly basis with the volume he’s seeing.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Zay Flowers	BAL	16.4 / 13.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jaylen Watson	KC	Moderate
After such a hot start to the year, a down week was bound to happen. After seeing 9+ targets the first two games of the year, Flowers only had 3 targets in Week 3. Despite the down week, he’s still a borderline top 12 WR and a must start each week regardless of the matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Joshua Palmer	BUF	6.4 / 5.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Isaac Yiadom	NO	Moderate
After opening the season with 9 targets in Week 1, Joshua Palmer has followed that up with 3 targets in Week 2 and only 1 target last week. At this point, Palmer should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Xavier Legette	CAR	2.4 / 1.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Carlton Davis	NE	Safe
Xavier Legette was sidelined in Week 3 due to a hamstring injury, and is day-to-day headed into Week 4. Regardless if he’s on the field for the Panthers, he should not be in any of your fantasy lineups.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Rome Odunze	CHI	21.9 / 19.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Eric Stokes	LV	Moderate
The Rome Odunze year two breakout looks very real, once again leading the Bears in targets in Week 3 with 7. He only ended up with 3 receptions on the day, but delivered for fantasy managers with a receiving touchdown on the first drive of the game. Odunze has now found the end zone in each of the first three games this season, and has worked himself into must start territory regardless of matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tee Higgins	CIN	7.8 / 6.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Riley Moss	DEN	Moderate
We know it wouldn’t be pretty with a backup QB, but I wasn’t expecting only 1 reception and 15 yards on two targets for Tee Higgins. While Higgins is an extremely talented WR, he’s going to continue to be the second option behind Ja'Marr Chase, and I’m not sure Jake Browning’s WR2 is a must start for fantasy managers. Higgins is someone you’ll need to take a closer look at to see if you have better options based on his matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jerry Jeudy	CLE	7.8 / 6.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
D.J. Reed	DET	Moderate
Jeudy had season lows in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in Week 3 in a tough matchup against Green Bay with only 1 reception for 17 yards on 5 targets. The matchup against Detroit should be more favorable, but he’s still a WR4 with how much Flacco is spreading the ball around to start the season.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jalen Tolbert	DAL	4 / 3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Keisean Nixon	GB	Risky
Jalen Tolbert is simply here because CeeDee Lamb is expected to miss multiple weeks to due an ankle injury. Despite being the Cowboys WR2, he’ll still likely be behind both George Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson. He might be able to have a productive game or two while CeeDee is out, but I’m staying away this week against Green Bay.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Marvin Mims	DEN	5 / 3.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
DJ Turner	CIN	Moderate
Marvin Mims has 3 or less receptions in each of the first three games of the season, and has yet to top 25 receiving yards in a single game. Mims should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Isaac TeSlaa	DET	4.1 / 3.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Denzel Ward	CLE	Safe
Isaac TeSlaa has yet to see more than 2 targets in any game this season, and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Matthew Golden	GB	5.1 / 4.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kaiir Elam	DAL	Safe
Golden saw his targets double in Week 3, going from averaging 2 targets per game the first two weeks of the season, to leading the Packers with 4 targets in Week 3. He also saw a season high 71% of the snaps, and this matchup against the Cowboys could be exactly what he needs to have his first breakout game. Golden will be a WR3 for me in fantasy rankings, and will be the highest ranked Packers WR.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Xavier Hutchinson	HOU	5 / 3.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Darrell Baker	TEN	Moderate
Xavier Hutchison had a season high 3 receptions but only turned it into 16 receiving yards, and has yet to top 35 receiving yards in a single game this season. It feels like only a matter of time before he’s replaced by rookie WR Jayden Higgins for this role, and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Michael Pittman	IND	15.8 / 13.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Emmanuel Forbes	LAR	Moderate
Michael Pittman now has 6 receptions, 73+ receiving yards, and a receiving TD in two of three games to start the season, with his only down game coming in Week 2 in a matchup with Broncos CB Pat Surtain. After seeing AJ Brown bully this Rams secondary last week, Michael Pittman should be set up for another solid week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Parker Washington	JAC	6.7 / 5.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Deommodore Lenoir	SF	Moderate
Parker Washington recorded 4 receptions for 34 yards on 11 targets in an elevated role after Dyami Brown’s injury. Fantasy managers might be tempted to put Washington in their lineup after the season high in targets, but I need to see more consistent production before I can do that. He’s just inside my top 70 WRs for the week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Xavier Worthy	KC	0 / 0
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Nate Wiggins	BAL	Safe
Xavier Worthy is hoping to make his return from his shoulder injury in Week 4, but I wouldn’t rush to immediately put him back in your lineup. I’d be surprised if he was a full-time player in his first week back, so I would just keep an eye on his usage this week to see if you can feel good about putting him back in your lineup in Week 5.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tre Tucker	LV	20.7 / 18.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Tyrique Stevenson	CHI	Safe
Alright, Tre Tucker. You’ve got our attention. After seeing 8 targets in Week 2, Tucker continued to improve with 8 receptions, 145 yards, and 3 TDs on 9 targets in Week 3. While we shouldn’t expect anything close to games like this on a regular basis, Tucker could be in for a breakout season if the targets remain consistent. Tucker has another solid matchup against a Bears secondary dealing with multiple injuries.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Keenan Allen	LAC	18.8 / 15.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Cordale Flott	NYG	Moderate
Three straight games with a TD means that Keenan Allen is officially on fire to start the season. Allen has worked himself into must start territory, and is a top 20 WR for me this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jordan Whittington	LAR	3.4 / 2.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Charvarius Ward	IND	Moderate
While Jordan Whittington has beaten out Tutu Atwell for the Rams WR3 job, it doesn’t mean much for fantasy managers.With this offense running through Puka and Adams, Whittington should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tyreek Hill	MIA	14.6 / 12.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Sauce Gardner	NYJ	Risky
Tyreek Hill saw a team high 10 targets in Week 3 which he turned into 5 receptions for 49 yards and a TD. While you would hope for more production with that kind of target volume, Tyreek is still a borderline top 15 WR on the week, even with the tough matchup against Sauce Gardner.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jordan Addison	MIN	0 / N/A
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Darius Slay	PIT	Moderate
Jordan Addison is expected to make his season debut in Week 4 after serving a 3-game suspension, and while he might not play a full-time role, I think he could still end up being the clear WR2 since he’s coming back from a suspension and not an injury. I’ve got Addison as a borderline top 36 WR for his first game of the season.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Stefon Diggs	NE	8.1 / 5.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Chau Smith-Wade	CAR	Moderate
Stefon Diggs snap percentage has continued to steadily rise each week of the season, but his production actually took a dip in Week 3. Diggs had a season low 23 receiving yards across 3 receptions and 3 targets. With how much Drake Maye is spreading the ball around, Diggs doesn’t look like someone you can trust for your fantasy lineup right now.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Rashid Shaheed	NO	10.9 / 8.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Christian Benford	BUF	Safe
Rashid Shaheed is arguably the most explosive player in this Saints offense, but unfortunately the target volume isn’t consistent enough to feel confident starting him. As the 3rd option in this offense behind Chris Olave and TE Juwan Johnson, Shaheed is a boom-or-bust flex option. In a game against Buffalo where the Saints will likely need to put up points, this could be a potential boom game.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Malik Nabers	NYG	18.7 / 16
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Donte Jackson	LAC	Risky
Malik Nabers struggled against a tough Chiefs secondary in Week 3, but still saw a team high 7 targets. Unfortunately, that only ended up turning into 2 receptions for 13 yards. The Giants have announced that rookie QB Jaxson Dart will make his first career start, so we’ll see if he can provide a QB upgrade and raise Nabers ceiling. Regardless of the QB or matchup, you’re starting Malik Nabers every week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Arian Smith	NYJ	1 / 0.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jack Jones	MIA	Safe
This offense is Garrett Wilson and then everyone else. Arian Smith should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jahan Dotson	PHI	4 / 3.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Zyon McCollum	TB	Safe
At best, Dotson is the 4th option in this passing offense when everyone is healthy and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
DK Metcalf	PIT	11.8 / 10.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Isaiah Rodgers	MIN	Moderate
DK Metcalf found the end zone for the second week in a row, however, he saw a season low 4 targets in Week 3. While the lack of targets will keep Metcalf outside of WR1 territory, the trust Aaron Rodgers has shown with Metcalf in the red zone keeps him as a borderline top 24 WR.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Ricky Pearsall	SF	16.6 / 13.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jarrian Jones	JAC	Safe
Injuries around him or not, Ricky Pearsall is making all of the opportunity he’s been given to be featured in the 49ers offense with Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, and Jauan Jennings all missing time. There’s a chance that Jennings returns in Week 4, but Pearsall should still be the clear WR1 for this 49ers passing attack. I’ve got Pearsall inside my top 24 for this week, and he’s a must start for fantasy managers.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tory Horton	SEA	9.8 / 9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Max Melton	ARI	Risky
Tory Horton now has back-to-back weeks with at least 4 receptions, and has a receiving TD in each of the last two games as well. Sam Darnold only threw the ball 18 times in Week 3, but Horton ended up slightly out performing Cooper Kupp to finish as the Seahawks WR2 on the week. I’m not sure I’m ready to start Horton just yet, as his fantasy finishes would look a lot different without the touchdowns, but he’s a very intriguing stash.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Emeka Egbuka	TB	17 / 14.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Adoree' Jackson	PHI	Moderate
What more can be said about Emeka Egbuka? Despite having his snaps monitored due to an injury, he still finished with 6 receptions for 85 yards and a TD on 8 targets. Emeka Egbuka had already vaulted himself into must start territory, and the Mike Evans injury only strengthens this stance.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Calvin Ridley	TEN	6.4 / 5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Derek Stingley	HOU	Risky
Calvin Ridley led all Titans pass catchers with 7 targets in Week 3, but was not on the same page with Cam Ward and didn’t do himself any favors with drops, and only ended up with 1 reception for 27 yards. It’s been an extremely disappointing start to the season for Ridley, and things aren’t going to get any easier with a tough matchup against a stout Houston Texans secondary.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jaylin Lane	WAS	3.4 / 2.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Eric Stokes	ATL	Moderate
It appears Jaylin Lane is taking over the Commanders WR3 job, which really means he’s the 4th option at best behind the top two WRs and TE Zach Ertz. Lane should be avoided in all formats.


Slot WR vs Slot CB
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Amon-Ra St. Brown	DET	23.8 / 20.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Cameron Mitchell	CLE	Safe
For the second straight week, Amon-Ra St. Brown was the go-to guy in the Lions passing offense, leading all pass catchers with 8 targets that he turned into 7 receptions for 77 yards and a TD. He’s a must start every week, but he has WR1 overall upside in Week 4 with a great matchup against Cleveland’s secondary.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Travis Hunter	JAC	5.9 / 4.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Upton Stout	SF	Moderate
For the first time in his rookie season, Travis Hunter played more snaps on defense than he did on offense. This led to him only having 1 catch for 21 yards on 2 targets offensively. Until we see the snaps increase on the offensive side of the ball, Hunter should be avoided. I’ve got Hunter outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 4.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Hollywood Brown	KC	12 / 8.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Marlon Humphrey	BAL	Safe
With Xavier Worthy inactive, Hollywood Brown caught 4 passes for 42 yards on 6 targets. Not quite the production fantasy managers were hoping for, and it appears Xavier Worthy could make his return from injury in Week 4. Even though Worthy is unlikely to be a full-time player in his first week back, this will make it that much more difficult for fantasy managers to trust Hollywood moving forward.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jakobi Meyers	LV	13.3 / 10.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Nick McCloud	CHI	Moderate
Jakobi Meyers saw a significant dip in targets last week, going from 10+ targets the first two weeks of the season to only 4 targets in Week 3. Despite the decrease in volume, Meyers still has 60+ receiving yards in each game this season and has a plus matchup against a beat up Bears secondary.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Ladd McConkey	LAC	10.4 / 7.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Andru Phillips	NYG	Moderate
Ladd McConkey was 3rd among Chargers WRs with 7 targets, and only ended up with 4 receptions for 41 yards. Ladd has also gone without a TD for the first three games, but looks like a solid buy low option in the McConkey fantasy manager in your league is panicking. McConkey is still a talented WR, and there are better days ahead as Herbert continues to spread the ball around.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Puka Nacua	LAR	26.5 / 21.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kenny Moore	IND	Risky
This Rams offense is about as clear cut as they come. Puka Nacua now has 9+ targets, 8+ receptions, and 90+ receiving yards in all 3 games this season. Puka has an argument as the WR1 overall rest of season, and is a must start regardless of matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Chris Olave	NO	13.2 / 9.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Tre'Davious White	BUF	Safe
Chris Olave continues to be the go-to WR for Saints QB Spencer Rattler, with 10+ targets in each game to start the season. While the majority of the targets are coming in the short passing game, the target volume provides Olave with a safe floor that should make you comfortable with starting him as a high-end WR3.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
DeVonta Smith	PHI	11.3 / 8.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jacob Parrish	TB	Risky
The Philadelphia Eagles found themselves in unfamiliar territory in Week 3, trailing the Rams early in the game forcing Jalen Hurts into a 32 pass attempts. DeVonta Smith was one of the beneficiaries of this increased passing volume, with 8 receptions and 60 yards on 9 targets. This could be a potential sell high opportunity for Smith, as the Eagles will likely be run heavy more often than not.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jauan Jennings	SF	11.8 / 10
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jourdan Lewis	JAC	Moderate
Jauan Jennings ended up missing Week 3 due to an ankle injury, but Head Coach Kyle Shanahan labeled Jennings as day-to-day going into Week 4, suggesting a chance he could return after missing one week. That would be big for this 49ers passing offense, with Jennings coming off an impressive performance in Week 2 before he had to miss Week 3 with an injury. I’ve got Jennings just outside my top 60 WRs for this week, but he will move up if we get clarity that he’s expected to be active for the matchup against the Jaguars.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Deebo Samuel	WAS	15 / 12.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Billy Bowman	ATL	Risky
Deebo Samuel was involved in both the passing and running game in Week 3, with two catches for 11 receiving yards and three rushes for 18 rushing yards. While Marcus Mariota starting at QB for injured starter Jayden Daniels could have played into this, Samuel only playing 43% of snaps in a blowout that the Commanders handled from the start likely also had something to do with it. I’ve still got Deebo inside my top 24 WRs for Week 4.
