FANTASY LINEUP TIPS: Week 4 Start-Sit | Week 4 Sleepers | Week 4 Busts

Who are the best fantasy WRs for Week 4?

The top-level target shares of Puka Nacua and Amon-Ra St. Brown make them almost matchup-proof, entrenched in elite WR1 territory.

Rome Odunze is quickly approaching this thanks to Ben Johnson's positive changes to the Chicago Bears' offense.

We're entrusting Nico Collins against the Tennessee Titans in this territory, as we are Garrett Wilson with the impending return of New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) against the horrific Miami Dolphins defense.

Fine, we'll place Drake London among the top 12 wideouts thanks to a highly favorable matchup with the Washington Commanders' secondary. Michael Penix, it's on you now.

Which Week 4 fantasy sleeper wide receivers should I target?

WR Week 4 matchup boosts include:

  • Deebo Samuel should find plenty of Commanders targets and rushing attempts with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) out and QB Marcus Mariota again replacing Jayden Daniels (knee).
  • Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen, and Ladd McConkey all will circle around strong WR2 territory in the Los Angeles Chargers' matchup with the New York Giants.
  • Anyone facing the Dallas Cowboys' defensive backfield gets a boost: Hello, Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs (plus Dontayvion Wicks in flex circles).
  • Expect the Denver Broncos' Troy Franklin to find plenty of midrange room to roam against the Cincinnati Bengals.
