Another successful week last week, and it’s time to dig into week 4. We have some clear cut chalk this week at Running Back, and it will be crucial to get it your Wide Receivers right this weekend. I’m the guy to help you break down your Wide Receiver decisions for your daily fantasy lineups. If you don’t know how I typically play the game, I really like to build my lineups based on ownership. Sometimes we don’t have a clear picture of what that looks like until game day, so keep that in mind. With that being said, sorry my article will be later than the rest, as I do like to wait and see what the field is doing. This is how we can stay with the pack, in cash games, and pivot to those high upside players in GPP style contests. Don’t forget to look at the bottom of this article for other players I really like as well. Once you’re done reading this article make sure to hop in our expert chat on Discord to stay up to date with lineup discussions.
Let’s dive into NFL DFS Wide Receivers for this week’s main slate.
STEFON DIGGS, BUF $8,400 DRAFTKINGS $8,700 FANDUEL
Let’s not get cute this week, and I really think we need to stack this game. The first piece is Stefon Diggs, and you have to think pairing with Josh Allen is going to be super popular. He has the highest points projected this week at the Wide Receiver position and I will go right to the top and lock him in. This is the game that you will want to target for your lineup construction this week.
DRAKE LONDON, ATL $6,100 DRAFTKINGS $6,300 FANDUEL
London actually is the 4th most targeted Wide Receiver in the league, and his price is still too cheap. This game has a nice total sitting at 47.5 right now, and he has a great matchup. The Browns are on the top 3 list for the worst teams against the pass, and the outside wide receivers. People are considering playing Mariota, so who else is he going to throw too, not a bad cash play.
MIKE WILLIAMS, LAR $7,000 DRAFTKINGS $7,200 FANDUEL
You have to think that if Keenan Allen doesn’t go this week, Big Mike is going to get in the end zone. I like the Josh Palmer call as well, if we see no Allen this is a nice spot and I think we see a little bounce back spot this week from the Chargers offense.
CEEDEE LAMB, DAL $6,700 DRAFTKINGS $6,800 FANDUEL
CeeDee is looking like a great play this week, and Cooper Rush continues to target him. He is looking popular which is why I’ve listed him. He’s been targeted over 10 times in the past 3 games with Rush, and now we’ll have Shultz and Gallup potentially back, that could open up more options for this offense, which I think leads to bigger plays.
CURTIS SAMUEL, WAS $5,700 DRAFTKINGS $6,200 FANDUEL
Again Rocker? Yeah he’s just too heavily targeted and Wash is always playing from behind, so therefore, Samuel is a good play again this week. He didn’t get in the end zone last week, but he should have, and this week, he’ll get back on track. He’ll still find a way to get double digit targets this week against the division rivals in a game that might be a bit sneaky for fantasy.
RICHIE JAMES, NYG $4,000 DRAFTKINGS $5,500 FANDUEL
For 4k on DraftKings, and acting as the Wide Receiver 1 in the Giants offense, boy you have to think he gets hurt in the first quarter right? You hate to see it. Ha ha, Just Kidding! However it feels like a trap but he’s going to pull some ownership due to the price tag and the potential volume he’ll see. Jones has no one else to throw to, so they should run the ball a ton, and Barkley will be chalk again this week.
KALIF RAYMOND, DET $3,100 DRAFTKINGS $4,900 FANDUEL
I heard some chatter about Raymond, and it feels like a nice GPP spot with the Sun God out this week, and the potential donkey’s all playing Reynolds. Giddy up!
Honorable Mention: AJ Brown, Pittman, Lockett, Sutton, Cooper, Davis, Bateman
Value Plays: Palmer, Reynolds, Pierce, E Moore, Doubs, Dotson, D. Smith, McKenzie
