Welcome to Week 4 of the NFL season. Week 3 was non-PPR wide receiver scoring was dominated by the unlikely Tre Tucker. He led all wide receivers with 145 yards and no receiver had more than one touchdown, while Tucker had three. Sadly, he was rostered in just 6% of Yahoo leagues and if you started him, you should go buy a lottery ticket.
Wide receiver injuries
CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys
Lamb rolled his ankle in Week 3 against the Bears and will be out 3-4 weeks. The team hopes he can return sooner than the four games that putting him on the PUP list would require. Dallas gets a tough matchup with the Packers this week, so even with the extra snaps and targets Lamb leaves behind, we can only expect George Pickens to hold must-start status at wide receiver. Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin have value, especially Turpin, with Lamb out, but this week is going to be one to avoid.
Terry McLaurin, Commanders
McLaurin suffered a quad injury in Week 3 against the Raiders and is seeking additional opinion on the injury, per Tom Pelissero. That doesn’t sound great for his Week 4 status right now. Deebo Samuel, Luke McCaffrey, and Jaylin Lane look to benefit the most if McClaurin is out against the Falcons, but none are strong starts.
Mike Evans, Buccaneers
Evans strained his hamstring and will miss 3-4 weeks. Rookie Emeka Egbuka should see extra targets, while Sterling Shepard would move up in the pecking order against the Eagles this week. There’s also a chance Chris Godwin returns from his devastating ankle injury from Week 7 of last year. At this point, Egbuka would be the only fantasy start.
Jordan Addison, Vikings
Addison’s suspension is officially over and he’ll be able to play in Week 4 against the Steelers in Ireland. He should quickly become a useful fantasy receiver and is startable against a declining Steelers defense.
Xavier Worthy, Chiefs
Worthy continues to get in limited practice, but the team doesn’t feel his shoulder is ready for contact it seems. We’ll see if his chances of returning look any better this week when the Chiefs face the 1-2 Ravens in Kansas City.
Jauan Jennings, 49ers
Jennings sat in Week 3 due to shoulder and ankle injuries. He didn’t practice all week, but was seen working on the side. We’ll see if he can get back to an official practice or two as the 49ers get ready for the Jaguars.
Chris Godwin, Buccaneers
There is a chance Godwin returns in Week 4, but it would be hard to trust him in fantasy after such a long time recovering from his ankle injury he suffered in Week 7 of last season.
