Fantasy football experts recommend wide receiver starts and sits for Week 4

Fantasy football analyst Derek Brown provided his Week 4 start-sit recommendations for wide receivers, highlighting players with high target shares and favorable matchups. He identified Arizona’s Michael Wilson, Chicago’s Luther Burden and Washington’s Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs as strong starters, noting each player’s target percentage, yards per route and the defensive rankings of their opponents.

For flex and depth options, Brown pointed to New Orleans’ Devaughn Vele, Detroit’s Jameson Williams, Green Bay’s Matthew Golden, Chicago’s Kalif Raymond, New England’s Mack Hollins, Miami’s Chris Bell, Indianapolis’s Keenan Allen and Cleveland’s Denzel Boston, citing specific usage metrics and the defensive tendencies they will face.

Brown advised against starting Los Angeles Chargers’ Ladd McConkey, describing the Chargers’ passing attack as inconsistent and the secondary as one of the tougher units against perimeter receivers.

"Michael Wilson is the clear number two option in the Arizona passing attack and should have another productive outing against a secondary that has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers," Brown said.

"Luther Burden should have another busy game against a Jets secondary that ranks 15th in yards per target against slot receivers," he added.

"Terry McLaurin is set up to crush again this week against a pass defense that has allowed the most yards per target and the third-most fantasy points per opportunity to receivers," Brown noted.

"Stefon Diggs remains a strong fantasy option against the same Indianapolis defense," he said.

"Ladd McConkey’s role is uncertain given the Chargers’ passing inconsistencies and a secondary that has allowed the fourth-fewest yards per target to perimeter receivers," Brown concluded.
