One of whom won the week for many fantasy owners by a landslide. Here are the rankings for wide receivers heading into week 4. Will fantasy managers be able to come out of the 0-3 hole they may have dug themselves? Or will they continue riding off into the sunset of a fantasy championship?<\/p>\n<p>[cta id=591 type=cta]<\/p>\n<h2>Fantasy Football Week 4 Wide Receiver Rankings: Never Put Any Doubt In Davante Adams<\/h2>\n<h3>Tier 1: If It Isn&#8217;t Broken, Don&#8217;t Fix It<\/h3>\n<p>1. Justin Jefferson<\/p>\n<p>2. Tyreek Hill<\/p>\n<p>3. Davante Adams<\/p>\n<p>4. Keenan Allen<\/p>\n<p>5. Ja&#8217;Marr Chase<\/p>\n<p>6. Stefon Diggs<\/p>\n<p>7. Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/p>\n<p>8. Deebo Samuel*<\/p>\n<p>This list might as well be called the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/07\/31\/justin-jefferson-fantasy-football-outlook-2023\/\" target=\"_self\">Justin Jefferson<\/a> rankings each week. While Jefferson didn&#8217;t finish as the top receiver of the week, he still remains the most reliable option, especially with Kirk Cousins&#8217; red-hot start to the season.<\/p>\n<p>The most explosive, yet still unsurprising, performance of week 3 belongs to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AdamDa01.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Davante Adams<\/a>. Adams finished with 13 receptions for 172 yards and two touchdowns (42.2 PPR points) and once again showed that it does not matter who is throwing him the ball. Adams remains a pillar of success for any fantasy team.<\/p>\n<p>When healthy, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/09\/25\/chargers-players-career-days-week-3-shootout\/\" target=\"_self\">Keenan Allen<\/a> is widely regarded as one of the best receivers in the league. His separation crowned him the No. 1 wide receiver of week 3 as he finished with 18 receptions for 215 yards (45.46 PPR points) and he even threw a 49-yard pass for a touchdown.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Keenan Allen is in the record books \ud83d\udcda <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cWtvpSsnSn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/cWtvpSsnSn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF (@PFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF\/status\/1706760554420040111?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Tier 2: WR1 Upside<\/h3>\n<p>9. A.J. Brown<\/p>\n<p>10. Chris Olave<\/p>\n<p>11. Michael Pittman Jr.<\/p>\n<p>12. CeeDee Lamb<\/p>\n<p>13. Puka Nacua<\/p>\n<p>14. DeVonta Smith<\/p>\n<p>15. Jaylen Waddle*<\/p>\n<p>It has been a frustrating season for all <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/08\/15\/2023-fantasy-football-profile-a-j-brown\/\" target=\"_self\">A.J. Brown<\/a> owners, but Brown&#8217;s frustration was heard. Brown led the Philadelphia Eagles with nine receptions for 131 yards and will look to continue his momentum into week 4.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/P\/PittMi01.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Pittman Jr.<\/a> has quickly shown that even with question marks at quarterback someone has to catch the ball. Pittman Jr. is easily the top receiver for the Indianapolis Colts and merits strong WR2 consideration for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Only player in the NFL to have 8+ catches in all three games: <\/p>\n<p>Michael Pittman Jr. \ud83d\udd25 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WiakJNHmdo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/WiakJNHmdo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF Fantasy &amp; Betting (@PFF_Fantasy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF_Fantasy\/status\/1706734127565697087?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While having a down game per his standards (five receptions for 72 yards), <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/09\/12\/fantasy-football-puka-nacua-rest-of-season-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">Puka Nacua<\/a> still remains a viable option. Until <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/06\/30\/cooper-kupp-2023-fantasy-football-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">Cooper Kupp<\/a> comes back, start Nacua with confidence, especially with the great possibility that Kupp will take longer to come back than expected.<\/p>\n<h3>Tier 3: WR2<\/h3>\n<p>16. DK Metcalf<\/p>\n<p>17. Tee Higgins<\/p>\n<p>18. Amari Cooper<\/p>\n<p>19. Mike Evans<\/p>\n<p>20. Jakobi Meyers<\/p>\n<p>21. Calvin Ridley<\/p>\n<p>22. Garrett Wilson<\/p>\n<p>23. George Pickens<\/p>\n<p>24. Courtland Sutton<\/p>\n<p>25. Brandon Aiyuk*<\/p>\n<p>A relatively quiet season for Amari Cooper is slowly trending up. Cooper and the Cleveland Browns took full advantage of the Tennessee Titans&#8217; secondary and will look to continue that ahead of a matchup against a shaky Baltimore Ravens secondary.<\/p>\n<p>Is there any chance Mike Evans can keep his stellar season up? Of course there is. Evans will have a tougher matchup against the New Orleans Saints, a team that always knows how to lock him down, but should still be considered across all lineups.<\/p>\n<p>The hype surrounding Calvin Ridley is slowly coming to an end after a stellar week 1 start. However, as Trevor Lawrence continues to roll, expect Ridley to get right back into the groove of things.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">AMARI COOPER JUST GOT ROBBED<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5dVxzWRGec\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/5dVxzWRGec<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SleeperNFL\/status\/1706008847864000995?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Tier 4: WR3\/Flex Consideration<\/h3>\n<p>26. Courtland Sutton<\/p>\n<p>27. Tyler Lockett<\/p>\n<p>28. Zay Flowers<\/p>\n<p>29. Jerry Jeudy<\/p>\n<p>30. DeAndre Hopkins<\/p>\n<p>31. Marquise Brown<\/p>\n<p>32. Nico Collins<\/p>\n<p>33. Terry McLaurin<\/p>\n<p>34. DJ Moore<\/p>\n<p>35. Adam Thielen<\/p>\n<p>36. Christian Watson*<\/p>\n<p>It was just another boom or bust week for Tyler Lockett, unfortunately, week 3 was a bust. It&#8217;s the same frustration around Lockett that fantasy owners will deal with all season long, but it&#8217;s still wise to keep him in the flex spot.<\/p>\n<p>While the air yards need work, Zay Flowers has emerged as the top pass catcher for the Ravens outside of Mark Andrews. As long as the catches keep coming, expect solid numbers from the WR3 position.<\/p>\n<p>Although Nico Collins had a quite week 3, CJ Stroud has turned into a strong rookie quarterback. As long as Stroud keeps slinging the ball, Collins should be right in line for reliable fantasy consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Universal Responsible Gambling Disclaimer:<\/p>\n<p>Ages 21+. Gambling Problem?
