Man, the wide receiver position has been an absolute war zone with injuries so far this season. Seriously, it’s brutal out there. That chaos has fantasy owners scrambling, trying to find anyone to plug into their lineups. Good news: we’ve got the top WR streaming options for Week 4 right here.
Stop Sleeping on These Guys
If you needed a receiver and somehow Keenan Allen slipped through your waiver wire this week, you better be scooping him up right now. Seriously, what are you waiting for? With Alec Pierce out last week, Allen was on the field for 73% of the snaps and got targeted nine times. He snagged six of those for 63 yards and a touchdown. The volume is there, and guess what? The Colts are playing the Washington Commanders this week, who are letting opposing wide receivers feast, giving up the most fantasy points in the entire league to them. Allen’s a no-brainer if he’s still floating around.
And then there’s Kalif Raymond. This dude is still sitting on way too many waiver wires. Through just three games, he’s caught 19 of his 21 targets for 214 yards and a touchdown! The only reason he’s still available anywhere is because everyone thinks Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, and Colston Loveland are going to blow past him in the pecking order eventually. Maybe, sure, but he’s been legit so far. Even with a backup quarterback and a tough matchup against the New York Jets, Raymond is an elite streaming option if you can get him. Grab him, start him, and he could even become a weekly flex play for you.
Digging for Deep Cuts
Remember all that banging the drum for Chris Bell this summer? Yeah, we knew he was gonna start slow because of that ACL tear back in December. But last week, he showed some life! He caught four of seven targets and led the Dolphins with 67 receiving yards. A lot of folks probably let him slide on waivers this week because he’s facing the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. But here’s the kicker: the Vikings are actually giving up the 12th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Plus, the Dolphins are probably gonna be losing and throwing like crazy in the second half, which is perfect for Bell. He could be a way better option than people think, especially if Caleb Douglas misses another game.
Then we’ve got Malachi Fields for the Giants. Nobody on that Giants receiver squad has played more snaps than Fields. And you know the 6’4, 222-pound monster has that touchdown upside. His stats don’t look great so far, only six catches for 74 yards, but the Giants literally had to switch quarterbacks in Week 2 and then played in some nasty weather in Week 3. They play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4, and the Cardinals are allowing the second-most fantasy points to receivers in the league. This could be Fields’ breakout week after a rough start for their passing game.
And keep an eye on Konata Mumpfield with the Rams. Their pass-catchers are absolutely battered right now, and it looks like it won’t get better this week. They might be missing up to four guys, including Puka Nacua. If Nacua is out, Mumpfield’s volume could be huge.
Don’t wait around, folks. Week 4 is right here, and these are the kind of sneaky picks that can win you your matchup. Go make those moves!
