It was another strong week for wide receivers and another re

It was another strong week for wide receivers and another reminder of how deep the position is. The studs continue to mostly come through, and the middle-of-the-pack flex options are producing boom weeks regularly. As always, we're looking for big-play threats more in standard than PPR. Of course, there's a large category of receivers who are excellent in both formats Khalil Mack Hoodies Sweatshirts , but as we move down our Week 4 fantasy WR rankings, plenty of players stand out as better suited for one vs. the other.We like Josh Allen as our top QB this week, so naturally, Stefon Diggs (vs. Texans) takes the top spot in our WR rankings. We won't bore you with a bunch of obvious starters, but it's worth noting the Bills' offense is looking more like it did last year. Deebo Samuel (vs. Seahawks), Corey Davis (vs. Titans), and Ja'Marr Chase (vs. Jaguars) have juicy matchups and also move up in our rankings. Samuel has looked every part of the No. 1 WR in San Francisco, and Seattle looks like they're going to be in shootouts regularly. Davis gets his chance at revenge against the Titans, and although their pa s defense looked better against Indianapolis, we're not totally sold on them moving forward, at least against high-volume WRs.WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | Chase has a good chance at WR1 production in a matchup with the Jags. We also like the other Bengals' pa s-catchers, but we'll see if Tee Higgins (shoulder) is active on a short week. Tyler Boyd is usually more of a PPR play, so Chase and Higgins (if healthy) take a spot ahead of him in standard.WEEK 4 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | On the same token, DJ Chark, Laviska Shenault, and Marvin Jones (@ Bengals) should be attractive Anthony Miller Jersey flex plays, though it's unlikely all three will produce. Pick your poison. Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders (vs. Texans) should have chances to make noise this week, too, but Sanders is slightly more geared toward standard leaguesWEEK 4 DFS LINEUPS: | | DeVonta Smith (vs. Chiefs), Jalen Reagor (vs. Chiefs), and Darnell Mooney (vs. Lions) highlight a group of young WRs with favorable matchups this week. The Chiefs' and Lions' pa sdefenses have been highly suspect this year, so any of those receiverscould boom. Of course, Smith is ranked the highest among the three, as he has the highest floor and ceiling. In deep leagues, it's tough to ignore K.J. Osborn (vs. Cleveland) and Rondale Moore and Christian Kirk (@ Rams). With Jalen Ramsey covering DeAndre Hopkins, Moore and/or Kirk should see increased volume. Julio Jones (vs. Jets) has the chance to be a top-10 play Dakota Dozier Jersey if A.J. Brown (hamstring) has to mi s time. Chase Claypool (vs. Packers) is easily the No. 1 WR in Pittsburgh if JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) and Diontae Johnson (knee) are both out. Big Ben has looked awful, but Claypool has to be heavily targeted in this case. If all three are healthy, expect plenty of dink-and-dunking and high reception totals for Johnson and JuJu.(Update: Johnson and Smith-Schuster will play, but Claypool is "questionable," verging on "doubtful.")MORE WEEK 4 DFS: | | Brandon Aiyuk (vs. Seahawks), Hunter Renfrow (@ Chargers), and Tim Patrick (vs. Ravens) also have their arrows pointing up thanks to increased usage. On the flip side, Robby Anderson (@ Cowboys), Quintez Cephus (@ Bears), and Nelson Agholor (vs. Buccaneers) are losing some luster after decent starts. Anderson has a great matchup this week, though, so he might still be in play in standard leagues, especially with Christian McCaffrey's injury po sibly freeing up more targets in Carolina.WEEK 4 FANTASY: | | Michael Pittman Jr. and Zach Pascal have been on the sleeper/bust bubble all season, but we don't like their chances heading into Miami in Week 4. Miami's defense still has two stellar corners, and Colt's offense looks stuck in the mud under a hobbled Carson Wentz (ankles). Curtis Samuelis eligible to return from IR, so we'll see if he becomes a factor as early as this week.We'll be updating these WR rankings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest changes and analysis.Fantasy WR Rankings Week 4: Who to start at wide receiverRankings based on standard, non-PPR scoring RankPlayer1Stefon Diggs, BUF vs. HOU2Cooper Kupp, LAR vs. ARI3Tyreek Hill, KC @ PHI4Davante Adams, GB vs. PIT5D.J. Moore, CAR @ DAL6Calvin Ridley, ATL vs. WAS7Terry McLaurin, WAS @ ATL8DK Metcalf, SEA @ SF9Adam Thielen, MIN vs. CLE10Keenan Allen, LAC vs. LV11Deebo Samuel, SF vs. SEA.Samuel had his quietest game of the year thus far, yet still drew 10 targets for five catches and 52 yards. Brandon Aiyuk looks like he's poised to return to fantasy relevancy, Alex Bars Jersey but Samuel stays as the No. 1 WR in SF in a matchup with a Seattle, who has been bad against the pa s when facing formidable WRs.12Allen Robinson, CHI vs. DET.If Robinson doesn't produce here, it will be tough to keep him ranked any higher than a mid-level WR2. However, the matchup is strong, as Detroit's pa s defense is awful. They 'held' the Ravens' pa s-catchers in check according to the box score, but that was mostly due to three huge drops by Marquise Brown. Robinson actually drew 30 percent of Justin Fields' attempts last week, so brighter days are ahead if Chicago can get it going on that side of the ball.13Chris Godwin, TB @ NE.New England has been strong Danny Trevathan Jersey against WRs so far this year, but the top receiver they've faced is probably Corey Davis. If Antonio Brown is active this week, Tampa Bay has at least three or four options scarier than anyone they've seen. As always, it's tough to know who will be the top target on any given week in this offense, but Godwin has been the most consistent of the bunch. As usual, he and Mike Evans are must-starts, but we'll monitor Brown moving forward.14Tyler Lockett, SEA @ SF.Lockett has been a boom-or-bust play in the past, and he turned in his first bust performance of the year in what was supposed to be a great matchup with Minnesota. He only caught four pa ses (on four targets) for 51 yards and lacked a single big-play catch. It seems he's often dependent on those big plays, so he's trending toward being more viable in standard leagues. Still, his upside is No. 1 overall WR, so it's tough to rank him any lower. Maybe it was just one bad game, so we'll see moving forward. Monitor his knee injury, too.15Brandin Cooks, HOU @ BUF.Buffalo neutrali
