It’s that time of week, ladies and gentlemen! We will breakdown each of the outside matchups, as well as my 10 favorite matchups out of the slot. Then, below the charts in this article, I break down my five absolute favorite matchups by price in DFS, as well as likely ownership in seasonal formats. This article is critical to seasonal and daily players, as this will help you gain a competitive advantage when setting your lineups.

Remember, the No. 1 wide receiver doesn’t always matchup against the No. 1 cornerback. This isn’t a game of Madden! Seriously, it’s not!

OffenseLeft WRDefenseRight CBAnalysis
ARIChad Williams SEATre Flowers Josh Rosen under center should lift the whole offense, but I don't expect Williams to be one of the guys that becomes a fantasy commodity in this offense. He's the fourth, maybe even fifth, option in the Arizona passing attack, and that's not necessarily a profitable venture for any fantasy owner. Look elsewhere.
ATLJulio Jones CINWilliam JacksonJones may not score against Jackson for a slew of reasons, but Jones' big play ability and receiving prowess keep him in the WR1 category in Week 4. This game could see both teams get to the high-20s, with Julio seeing close to double digit targets.
BALMichael Crabtree PITCoty SensabaughAs much as I don't like Joe Flacco , Crabtree is in a good spot against a soft Pittsburgh defense. Only the New Orleans Saints have allowed more receiving yards to the wideouts this season, and it's a recurring trend that the opposition target the wideouts in the red zone against this Pittsburgh defense. With a steady volume of work, Crabtree should post WR2 numbers this week.
BUFKelvin Benjamin GBTramon Williams Green Bay's secondary is much improved from last season, but they've still allowed six receiving touchdowns to receivers through the first three weeks. Josh Allen is coming off a nice first appearance, but Benjamin was quiet yet again. Efficiency is a huge problem with Benjamin, making him a low-end flex option.
CAR    
CHIAllen Robinson TBCarlton Davis Davis has allowed a 119.4 QB rating when targeted and Allen Robinson is the alpha in the Chicago passing attack. He's accrued at least three catches for 50 yards in each game this season, but this has the opportunity to be his best game as a member of the Chicago Bears. He's a reliable WR2 in Week 4.
CINA.J. Green ATLDesmond Trufant The Cincinnati brass are hopeful that Green can suit up and ball out on Sunday, and with his big time talent, if he's playing, you're starting him. No questions asked. Green is a WR1 and this Atlanta defense has been decimated by injuries.
CLERashard Higgins OAKGareon Conley Only three teams have allowed more passing yards to wide receivers this season, and with Baker Mayfield at the helm of the Cleveland offense, even Higgins should see a nice boost in fantasy production. However, he's buried on the team's passing hierarchy.
DALDeonte Thompson DETNevin Lawson Thompson trails only Cole Beasley in targets and his 75 percent  catch rate is encouraging. However, his nine grabs on the year have gone for just 83 yards. Unfortunately, Dak Prescott hasn't gotten the Dallas passing game going, and only two teams have allowed fewer passing yards to wide receivers than this Lions defense.
DENDemaryius Thomas KCSteven Nelson I'm a bigger Emmanuel Sanders guy this week, but in a GPP, it's time to roll with Thomas. At this point, everyone knows that the Kansas City defense is easily exploitable, making them an obvious team to attack in fantasy. Thomas is  a way to get some exposure to this game, but avoid the higher owned players, a la Tyreek Hill , Sanders, Sammy Watkins , etc.
DETKenny Golladay DALByron Jones Quarterback Matthew Stafford has a team-high 109.5 QB rating when targeting Golladay this season.* Yes, higher than Golden Tate (104.4) and Marvin Jones (92.4).* Jones has been really good for Dallas this season, but Golladay's frame could pose a problem in this matchup. Golladay is a low-end WR2/premium flex option.
GBDavante Adams BUFTre'Davious White White has been playing good football of late, and while it doesn't seem as if he'll shadow Adams, the majority of his afternoon will likely be spent covering Green Bay's top wide receiver. Adams has scored in each game this season, along with recording at least five receptions.
HOUDeAndre Hopkins INDPierre Desir It's Hopkins time! Will Fuller will get his looks and the likely return of Keke Coutee should further open things up for Hopkins. Deshaun Watson is funneling the passing attack through Hopkins and Fuller, and there will be a few occasions where both of them finish the week as WR1s. As expected, Hopkins remains in the WR1 this week.
INDRyan Grant HOUShareece Wright Wright hasn't been targeted much this season, but both of his targets have been caught. Opponents are completing a ton of balls against the Texans, and the short to intermediate routes have decimated this defense. Grant should catch a few balls, but the yardage might not be too significant. He's a low-end flex option.
JAXKeelan Cole NYJMorris Claiborne In a PPR setup, Cole has one game with over 20 fantasy points, but he's failed to accrue his total against the Patriots in the other two games of the season. Entrusting Blake Bortles is risky business, especially in a tough matchup against Claiborne. Among players who have played at least 75 coverage snaps, no cornerback in football has a lower passing rating when targeted than Claiborne (16.8).*
KCSammy Watkins DENIsaac Yiadom In lieu of Adam Jones , Yiadom was exploitable in coverage, allowing four receptions on five targets for 68 yards this season.* The Denver corners are beatable and Patrick Mahomes might be the hottest, most confident man on Earth at the moment. Watkins is an attractive option in Week 4, especially with Mahomes under center.
LACMike WilliamsSFJimmie Ward All the Mike Williams in Week 4? Hell yes! Ward has allowed six receptions for 91 yards and two touchdowns on just 58 coverage snaps this season.* Williams is flat-out balling right now and needs to be started in all formats, and he'll even find his way into many cash game lineups this weekend.
LARBrandin Cooks MINXavier Rhodes Not an ideal matchup here for Cooks, but he'll get some routes away from Rhodes, and with his speed, he can still get behind the star corner. Cooks has produced this season, tallying over 87 receiving yards in every game with his new team. Cooks remains a WR2 in Week 4.
MIADeVante Parker NEStephon Gilmore Ryan Tannehill is spreading the ball around the team's offense like its no one's business. Gilmore has been targeted a bunch this season, but he's a good cornerback in his own right. Coming off a two catch, 40 yard day last week against Oakland, Parker is an unattractive flex option in Week 4.
MINLaquon Treadwell LARMarcus Peters Let's make things quick with this one. If Peters plays, Treadwell is unstartable in Week 4. If Peters sits, Treadwell becomes a very low-end flex option in 16 team formats. Got it? Good.
NEJosh Gordon MIATorry McTyerGordon is an incredibly gifted receiver, but he might have limited run in this offense, as he needs to get accustomed to New England's verbiage, playbook, etc. If he does play, even in a limited manner, Gordon is an intriguing flex option as Tom Brady will likely look to get his new toy involved early and often.
NOMichael Thomas NYGJanoris Jenkins Let's see here. Jenkins has allowed a catch rate of 70 percent on the season and Thomas has a catch rate of 95 percent. Both of those numbers are high for their respective positions, and as if you needed to hear it from me, Thomas remains an elite WR1 upside play in Week 4.
NYGCody Latimer NOP.J. Williams If any other receiver out there, I'd be all on this wide receiver against P.J. Williams . However, Latimer doesn't get enough work in the passing game to warrant any usage in fantasy this weekend. I guess if you want to be super contrarian in a deep GPP, you could take a shot on Latimer, but that's simply getting too cute.
NYJQuincy Enunwa JAXA.J. Bouye I love Enunwa as Sam Darnold 's go to guy, but against the Jaguars, it's going to be tough sledding. For the first time this year, Enunwa should be on your bench against Bouye and the rest of the vicious Jacksonville defense.
OAKJordy Nelson CLETerrance Mitchell Mitchell has played well opposite of Denzel Ward in the early parts of the 2018 campaign. Mitchell has allowed just one touchdown in coverage thus far, not to mention a quality 66.4 QB rating when targeted.* Nelson remains a flex option after last week's outburst, but placing any more faith in Nelson could be risky.
PHIKamar Aiken TENMalcolm Butler On paper, it might be a rough matchup for Aiken, but Butler has actually allowed the second most receiving yards this season.* However, even with Carson Wentz under center, it's hard to get super excited about Aiken. He's a low-end flex option in deeper PPR formats at best.
PITAntonio Brown BALBrandon Carr Carr has been really, really good this season, and even though Brown hasn't been super great, he's still a volume hog and warrants WR1 consideration each week. Listen, regardless of matchup, Brown has top-tier upside that few players in the league possess. Start Brown. Don't get cute.
SEABrandon Marshall ARIJamar Taylor When you play opposite of Patrick Peterson , expect to see a few additional targets on a weekly basis. This week, Marshall gets Taylor more often than not. Marshall is still working to get to speed, but with this plus matchup, Marshall is a GPP option in DFS this weekend.
SFMarquise Goodwin LACTrevor Williams Goodwin was a favorite of mine coming into the 2018 season, but with the recent injury to Jimmy Garoppolo , the allure around the speedy wideout has faded. In six games with C.J. Beathard under center, Goodwin is averaging just 2.17 receptions for 55.8 yards per game. Yikes.
TBDeSean Jackson CHIPrince Amukamara Amukamara is allowing nearly 15 yards per reception and Jackson is a perfect 5-for-5 on deep targets from Ryan Fitzpatrick for three touchdowns.* With Mike Evans attracting plenty of attention opposite him, the veteran burner is a quality play yet again in Week 4.
TENTajae Sharpe PHIRonald Darby Darby has been beaten at times in coverage, due to being targeted a ton, but the Tennessee passing attack is woeful at best at the moment. If Corey Davis is struggling to be fantasy relevant, Sharpe is going to struggle mightily. Sharpe has yet to record more than one catch in any game this season, making him an unattractive play in Week 4.

OffenseRight WRDefenseLeft CBAnalysis
ARIChristian Kirk SEAShaquil GriffinI like Christian Kirk with Josh Rosen at the helm, however, Griffin has been very good in coverage this season, to the tune of a mere 52.4 QB rating when targeted and 0.99 yards per coverage snap.* With Griffin balling out, Kirk is relegated to flex status, mainly because he's coming off a quality seven-catch performance.
ATLCalvin Ridley CINDre KirkpatrickRidley is coming off a mammoth performance in Week 3, and has a matchup with Kirkpatrick in Week 4. Kirkpatrick has been targeted a team-high 28 times, but he's held his own, allowing just 13 receptions.* However, two of those grabs have gone for touchdowns. Ridley has three red zone targets on the year, each of which have gone for scores. Ridley is a solid flex option this week.
BALJohn Brown PITJoe Haden This is an interesting matchup, as Haden is returning from injury, but before he went down, he was solid out wide for Pittsburgh. Conversely, Brown has developed into Joe Flacco 's most reliable target. Brown warrants flex consideration in most formats, given his ability to find the end zone.
BUFZay Jones GBKevin King Jones' production continues to go down, as his receptions have tailed off each game this season. Josh Allen might provide a breath of fresh air, but not enough to warrant starting Jones in any format.
CAR    
CHITaylor Gabriel TBBrent Grimes I'm all over Gabriel this week. He's seen 17 targets over the past two weeks and with Anthony Miller out of action, his volume of work should remain steady. Tampa Bay should keep this game close, meaning we'll get four quarters of Gabriel. Grimes has been horrible in coverage this season, making Gabriel a sneaky flex option.
CINJohn Ross ATLRobert Alford Ross had a rough start to his NFL career, but things haven't been much better in 2018. He caught a touchdown in the season opener, but for being a field stretcher with game-breaking speed, Ross has just four catches for 24 yards and multiple drops. Tyler Boyd has emerged as the team's No. 2 wide receiver, leaving Ross to hope for the touchdown to make any sort of fantasy noise.
CLEAntonio Callaway OAKRashaan Melvin Throwing at Melvin hasn't warranted much success this season, but that won't stop me from having shares of Callaway in DFS this week, as well as picking him up in seasonal leagues. Baker Mayfield getting the starting gig is the best thing that could happen for Callaway's fantasy ceiling.
DALAllen Hurns DETDarius Slay The Lions have been relentless on wide receivers this season. Slay is one of the better corners in the league and Hurns has yet to showcase any sort of effectiveness with Dak Prescott . Hurns is an easy fade this week in all formats.
DENCourtland Sutton KCOrlando Scandrick Be wary of Courtland Sutton this week, believe it or not. Yes, even against this brutal Kansas City secondary. Scandrick has been really good in coverage for the Chiefs, allowing a catch rate of just 33 percent.* However, he has allowed two touchdowns in coverage. I'd much rather have Demaryius Thomas or Emmanuel Sanders in Week 4.
DETMarvin Jones DALChidobe Awuzie If you want to attack a Dallas cornerback, Awuzie is the one to go after, as he's allowed 14 receptions on 16 targets this season.* Jones makes for a quality flex option in Week 4, as he'll find the end zone for a third straight week.
GBGeronimo Allison BUFRyan Lewis To make a long story short, Allison is a recommended play this week, to say the least. He has a 76.5 percent catch rate and actually leads the Packers in receiving yards. Furthermore, Aaron Rodgers ' QB rating when targeting Allison is a near-perfect 156.3.* Allison could find his way to being a top-15 player at the position this week.
HOUWill Fuller INDNate Hairston Fuller is a fantasy machine with Deshaun Watson under center. It seems like he scores nearly every week! Indy's pass defense isn't as good as advertised, and Fuller's speed will give them fits. With the much deserved focus on DeAndre Hopkins , Fuller will continue to thrive in 1-on-1 matchups all around the field. He's a legit WR2.
INDT.Y. Hilton HOUJohnathan Joseph Hilton is the Texan killer. In 12 career games against the Texans, Hilton is averaging 5.3 receptions for 94.3 yards and 0.8 touchdowns per game. The Houston secondary is somewhat improved from last season, but Hilton is still in a good spot to produce. Continue deploying Hilton as a WR2 until further notice.
JAXDonte Moncrief NYJTrumaine Johnson Johnson has been everything and more for the Jets, while Moncrief has been all sorts of nothing for the Jaguars. Leave him on the bench, as you won't be disappointed with that decision.
KCChris Conley DENBradley Roby Conley is a risky GPP option, as he will need a touchdown to produce fantasy results. In season long formats, it's advised to look elsewhere for your flex spot.
LACTyrell Williams SFAhkello Witherspoon Witherspoon is one of six corners in the league to allow three touchdowns in coverage this season, and while Williams can break off a long one, his longest catch of the year is a measly 22 yards. It's Keenan Allen , Mike Williams , Melvin Gordon or bust with the Chargers' offense this week.
LARRobert Woods MINTrae Waynes Woods is coming off his best game of the season and will enter another plus matchup against Trae Waynes . Jared Goff will spread the football all around, but with Cooks dealing with Xavier Rhodes , perhaps a few extra targets are shaded towards Woods. Consider him a WR2 this weekend.
MIAKenny Stills NEJason McCourty Stills leads the team with 184 yards, three touchdowns and 20.4 yards per reception on the season. Despite the fact that Tannehill loves to spread the ball around, Stills continues to get his work and remains a flex option against a Patriots defense that has allowed the eighth-most yards to wideouts in 2018.
MINStefon Diggs LARSam Shields In coverage this season, Shields has allowed a 109.7 passer rating when targeted and a rather high 1.88 yards per coverage snap.* After a down Week 3, Diggs should find the end zone and look more like the receiver who accrued 128 yards against the Packers in Week 2. I'm all over Diggs in Week 4.
NEPhillip Dorsett MIAXavien Howard Howard has been a wide receiver's worst nightmare here in the early parts of 2018, allowing a catch rate of just 33 percent. Expect Tom Brady to look elsewhere, as Dorsett will be bottled up for the majority of the afternoon.
NOTed Ginn NYGB.W. Webb Webb has some awesome hair, first off, but secondly, he's played a nice cornerback position with Eli Apple out of commission. Ginn needs a touchdown to be fantasy relevant, but he's scored in two of three thus far. Michael Thomas will command plenty of attention, making Ginn an intriguing GPP option.
NYGOdell Beckham Jr.NOMarshon Lattimore The Saints defense, Lattimore included, has struggled in coverage this season. New Orleans has allowed nine touchdowns to receivers this season, and Beckham should be adding to that total. He's a WR1 this week.
NYJRobby Anderson JAXJalen Ramsey Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Ramsey is one of the game's best corners and Anderson has been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy football this season. Anderson has just six catches for 90 yards with one touchdown on the season, which equates to a per game average of two catches for 30 yards. Yuck. 
OAKAmari Cooper CLEDenzel Ward This is an exciting matchup worth watching come Sunday afternoon. Cooper has been hit or miss this season. In Week 2, he caught 10 balls for 116 yards, but he has just three grabs for 26 yards in the other two games. While Cleveland has allowed some yards to receivers, they've only allowed three touchdowns to the position. Cooper is an unexciting fantasy option against Ward and the Cleveland defense in Week 4.
PHIAlshon JefferyTENAdoree' Jackson Jeffery is a solid talent, there's no denying that. However, given that it's his first game back and might even be on a snap count, he is a risky play. I'm looking elsewhere, especially with Jackson (62.0 passer rating allowed when targeted*) opposing him.
PITJames Washington BALMarlon Humphrey Outside of a Week 2 touchdown against the Chiefs, Washington has been quiet, as the offense flows through about four guys in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, Washington is not one of those guys at this juncture. Humphrey has had his fair share of struggles in coverage, but Washington doesn't get enough opportunities to warrant any fantasy relevance outside of deep dynasty formats.
SEAJaron Brown ARIPatrick Peterson Of cornerbacks with at least 75 coverage snaps, only New York's Morris Claiborne has a lower passer rating allowed when targeted in 2018 than Arizona's Patrick Peterson . On the other hand, Brown found the end zone for the first time with Seattle last week, but he's yet to tally more than 36 receiving yards in a game. This doesn't seem like a Jaron Brown week by any means.
SFPierre Garcon LACCasey Hayward It's not a great matchup for Garcon, but it's encouraging that in three games with C.J. Beathard , Garcon is averaging nearly eight targets per game. With Beathard likely utilizing running backs and tight ends more often, fading Garcon seems like he right thing to do this weekend.
TBMike Evans CHIKyle FullerEvans has two touchdowns from 20 or more yards out, and cornerback Kyle Fuller has allowed two touchdowns on just 10 receptions this season.* Rather than beat around the bush, Evans is a WR1 this week and a quality play in all formats.
TENCorey Davis PHIJalen Mills As an individual talent, Davis is among some of the most physically-gifted receivers in the league. However, Marcus Mariota still has subpar feeling in his fingers and Blaine Gabbert is an underwhelming option under center. While I like Davis, he's relegated to flex territory, but if you're loaded at wide receiver, he may be best suited on your bench in Week 4.

Now, here are my 10 favorite matchups in the slot in Week 4.

OffenseSlot WRDefenseSlot CBAnalysis
LACKeenan Allen SFK'Waun Williams Williams is tied for the most yards allowed in slot coverage this season and Allen is quarterback Philip Rivers ' favorite target.* See where I'm getting it at here? Targets should be aplenty and if San Fran can keep this game any sorts of close, Allen will go for 100+ with a score.
PITJuJu Smith-Schuster BALTavon Young No one in the league has more receiving yards out of the slot than Smith-Schuster and Tavon Young has allowed a 148.8 passer rating when targeted.* BOOM! Here comes a WR1 week for JuJu in Week 4.
CLEJarvis Landry OAKLeon Hall It's Bakermania in Cleveland and this couldn't be any better for Landry. He saw a ton of targets when Mayfield entered the game, and that trend should continue against Hall and the rest of the Oakland defense.
MINAdam Thielen LARNickell Robey-Coleman No receiver has been targeted more out of the slot than Thielen and despite Robey Coleman's prowess in slot coverage, volume is key. Plus, let's be honest, you're starting Thielen in all formats. However, in DFS, he's more of a GPP option this week, if you play the Thursday slate.
LARCooper Kupp MINMike Hughes Only four receivers have more receiving yards out of the slot than Kupp, and the slot man for the Rams is averaging a healthy 2.44 yards per route run.* With Xavier Rhodes on the field manning someone on the outside, Kupp should see a few additional targets his way, making him a very attractive play in all formats, especially PPR.
GBRandall Cobb BUFTaron Johnson Johnson has allowed nine receptions in slot coverage this season, but it's only amounted to 58 yards, good for under seven yards a grab.* Cobb should see some volume in this one, but effectiveness might be lacking. However, in a positive matchup with Aaron Rodgers under center, Cobb remains a viable starting option in all formats.
PHINelson Agholor TENLogan RyanRyan has allowed a catch rate of 100 percent out of the slot this season and Agholor is at his most dangerous when he's operating out of the slot. Carson Wentz back under center certainly helps, giving Agholor plenty of appeal in PPR formats. He's a quality flex option in Week 4.
DENEmmanuel Sanders KCKendall Fuller Just about everyone and their mother has had a big game against this Kansas City defense. In slot coverage, Fuller has 0.75 yards per coverage snap and 103.6 passer rating when targeted.* Sanders remains Case Keenum 's go to guy and with positive game script in the works, Sanders is a must start this week.
ARILarry Fitzgerald SEAJustin ColemanColeman hasn't been burned from the slot yet this year, but with the majority of his yards allowed coming after the catch, Fitzgerald could rack up some YAC in this one. Josh Rosen under center should bode well for Fitzgerald, as the youngster from UCLA will look to rely on his two main weapons; Fitzgerald and running back David Johnson .
CINTyler Boyd ATLBrian Poole If A.J. Green is out or slowed in any fashion, Boyd's outlook for Week 4 only gets stronger. The former Pitt Panther has distanced himself as the team's No. 2 wide receiver and it's not even close. Pair that with the fact that Poole ranks inside the top in yards allowed out of the slot, and it's clear why Boyd finds himself in the top 10 this week.

Elite

DeAndre Hopkins vs. Pierre Desir

While we haven’t seen the monster breakout game for Hopkins yet this season, he’s caught at least six balls for 78 yards in every game with his favorite quarterback under center. He did go for 110 yards and a score in Week 2 against the Titans, and now gets to face an Indianapolis defense that looks good on paper, but they will struggle to cover Hopkins, Fuller and Co. If there’s anything we know, it’s that Deshaun Watson loves to get the ball in Hopkins’ hands, and they have even used him in the screen game at times. Expect double-digit targets on Sunday for Hopkins against his division rival.

JuJu Smith-Schuster vs. Tavon Young

Smith-Schuster leads the league in receiving yards out of the slot and his 29 targets out of the slot trail only Minnesota’s Adam Thielen .* The second year man out of the University of Southern California is averaging nearly 13 targets per game and has eclipsed 115 receiving yards in each contest here in 2018. Smith-Schuster has out produced Antonio Brown in fantasy this season, and while it may not continue, JuJu is solidifying himself as a WR1 in fantasy football.

Affordable

Sammy Watkins vs. Isaac Yiadom

Yiadom has only played one game for the Broncos and now has a rude awakening with Patrick Mahomes and Sammy Watkins coming to town. Yiadom allowed four receptions on five targets for 68 yards last week, and with Kansas City likely to put up points – since they cannot be stopped—Watkins is a prime candidate to put up some fantasy points in this contest. Mahomes has a 119.6 passer rating when targeting Watkins and although they’ve only hit on one pass 20 or more yards down the field, it could happen twice this week. Love Watkins in all formats this week.

Bargain Bin

Taylor Gabriel vs. Carlton Davis

With Anthony Miller on the shelf, you will be hard pressed to find someone with lesser ownership with as much opportunity in Week 4 than Gabriel. He’s seen 17 targets over the last two games and while he hasn’t done much with them, this will be his softest matchup yet. The Bucs have allowed the fourth-most yards to wide receivers this season, making Gabriel a solid cash game play in DFS, as well as a flex option for those of you in Week 4.
