The Shot Caller's Report - Wk 4 Wide Receivers

Grab a Helmet

1) Gabriel Davis @ Baltimore

Due to injuries, the once feared Ravens’ defense has become vulnerable to the pass, allowing opposing wideouts the most fantasy points in the league by a wide margin (56.7 FPts/G). So it’s time for the Bills offense to take advantage of the situation. Stefon Diggs will always get his points, but the now healthy Davis (ankle) will become what fantasy owners hoped he would be when they drafted him. He produced on opening day against the Rams (18.8 points), missed Week 2 and was mostly a bystander in Week 3, but he should be back in the spotlight in Week 4.

Brandin Aiyuk

2) Brandon Aiyuk vs. Los Angeles Rams

In Jimmy Garoppolo’s first start this season, he targeted Aiyuk as many times as he did star wideout Deebo Samuel. Though Aiyuk only caught three of the eight targets, I like the volume. In seven of the final 10 games last season, Aiyuk produced double-digit points and only once did he see more than eight targets.

3) Noah Brown vs. Washington

CeeDee Lamb is the most talented of the Cowboys receivers, but quarterback Cooper Rush has a lot of confidence in Noah Brown too. Brown has produced more consistently than even Lamb, posting double-digit fantasy points in all three games. Meanwhile, the Commanders rank 30th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wideouts (48.5 FPts/G), so both Lamb and Brown should be fantasy-worthy.

Grab some Pine

1) Any Rams receiver not named Cooper Kupp @ San Francisco

The volume simply isn’t there to sustain any receiver other than Kupp. Ben Skowronek (13 targets) and Allen Robinson (12) are both well behind Kupp (35) and tight end Tyler Higbee (24) in opportunities to produce and therefore must sit until that changes. Also, the 49ers’ pass defense is ranked No.2 in fantasy points allowed (26.6) to opposing wideouts.

2) Allen Lazard vs. New England

Lazard may be called the Packers’ No.1 receiver, but having watched the progression of rookie Romeo Doubs, I believe he’s the guy Aaron Rodgers will look to for the big play. The Patriots rank No. 4 against wide receivers allowing just 28 FPts/G and Head Coach Bill Belichick loves to take away a team’s first option.

3) Darnell Mooney @ New York Giants

The Bears’ offense has produced just 235 passing yards in three games. That’s total yards, not average yards. By contrast, the next worst team, the Carolina Panthers have 484 passing yards, more than twice the Bears total. Stop waiting for Mooney and Justin Fields to find “it” and start someone else.
