Wide Receiver Outlook Week 4
After a quiet start to his NFL career, Justin Jefferson (WR27) exploded in Week 3 to the tune of 175 receiving yards and 30.5 fantasy points (second-most amongst wideouts). Furthermore, his nine targets and seven receptions on the day exceeded his totals from the two previous weeks combined.
A week 4 matchup against Houston sounds inviting on paper. With that said, they’ve surrendered the third-fewest passing yards in football this season and have allowed just one wideout to exceed 46 receiving yards in a game this year. Jefferson remains worthy of a play, as his usage is bound to steadily increase. Just don’t expect a top-three point output on a weekly basis.
Chris Godwin (WR12) has had quite the rollercoaster season thus far. While he’s averaged the 19th-most points at this position this year, that’s been somewhat overshadowed by his slew of injuries. A concussion forced him to miss Week 2, while a hamstring injury suffered this past Sunday may force him to miss more time. Coach Bruce Arians told reporters that the team will take a “wait and see” approach with Godwin. If he can’t go vs. the Chargers, expect an uptick in targets for both Mike Evans (WR10) and Scotty Miller (WR60). While Los Angeles has been stout against receivers this season (ninth-fewest points allowed) volume would likely put Miller on the Flex spectrum for Week 4.
