Week 4 brings major shake-ups with CeeDee Lamb sidelined by a high ankle sprain and Joe Burrow undergoing toe surgery, leaving fantasy managers scrambling for answers. With star power on the shelf, target share and volume become more important than ever as we sort out the top 60 wide receivers for this week.

1. Puka Nacua – LAR vs IND (Sun 4:05 PM ET)
Nacua has 35 targets and 29 receptions through three games, leading the league in catches and yards with an 83% catch rate. He remains the centerpiece of the Rams’ passing game and draws a Colts defense that has allowed chunk plays, keeping his floor sky-high in PPR formats.

2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba – SEA @ ARI (Thu 8:15 PM ET)
Smith-Njigba has opened 2025 as Seattle’s clear WR1, averaging 10 targets per game and scoring in back-to-back weeks. Arizona has struggled to contain slot receivers, giving him a strong path to another heavy-volume night in prime time.

3. Garrett Wilson – NYJ @ MIA (Mon 7:15 PM ET)
Wilson has 30 targets across three games, averaging 10 per contest with 229 yards and a touchdown. He’s coming off a 10-catch performance and should continue to command a strong target share, making him a reliable WR1 even against Miami’s aggressive defense.

4. Davante Adams – LAR vs IND (Sun 4:05 PM ET)
Adams has drawn 29 targets through three games, converting 13 catches into 213 yards and two touchdowns. Even with Puka Nacua dominating volume, Adams remains a focal point in the red zone and should continue to see steady opportunities against the Colts.

5. Rome Odunze – CHI @ LV (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
Odunze has 27 targets, 16 receptions, 227 yards, and four touchdowns, establishing himself as Chicago’s primary scoring threat. His nose for the end zone makes him a weekly WR1 candidate, and he gets a Raiders secondary that has struggled to contain perimeter weapons.

6. Ja’Marr Chase – CIN @ DEN (Mon 8:15 PM ET)
Chase has 27 targets and 21 catches for 241 yards and a touchdown, highlighted by a 16-target outburst in Week 2. With Joe Burrow sidelined, volume should remain strong, but efficiency could dip with Jake Browning under center in a tough road matchup at Denver.

7. Nico Collins – HOU vs TEN (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Collins has 25 targets over three games with 14 catches for 181 yards and two touchdowns, showing up consistently in Houston’s passing attack. With a juicy divisional matchup vs Tennessee’s secondary, his volume makes him a solid WR1 candidate this week.

8. Zay Flowers – BAL @ KC (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
Flowers has 23 targets through three games, highlighted by a 10-target opener, and he’s turned them into 15 receptions for 219 yards. While his Week 3 usage dipped, he remains Baltimore’s top receiver and should see steady involvement against a Chiefs defense that has allowed production to opposing WR1s.

9. Justin Jefferson – MIN @ PIT (Sun 9:30 AM ET)
Jefferson has hauled in 12 catches on 20 targets for 200 yards and a touchdown through three games. His efficiency and big-play capability remain elite, even if the red-zone production has been limited so far.

10. Amon-Ra St. Brown – DET vs CLE (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Amon-Ra has been ultra-reliable: 25 targets, 20 receptions, 237 yards, and four scores over three games. Even against tougher defenses, his role as Jared Goff’s top read gives him one of the safest PPR floors in the WR1 tier.

11. Malik Nabers – NYG vs LAC (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Nabers has hauled in 16 of 32 targets for 251 yards and 2 touchdowns over three games, averaging nearly 16 yards per reception. With his target share and route participation both sky high, even if the Giants offense stumbles, he gives you real WR1 upside this week vs. the Chargers.

12. Chris Olave – NO @ BUF (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Olave has caught 23 of 37 targets for 165 yards across three games without finding the end zone yet. The volume is there, but he’ll need to turn short catches into chunk gains to unlock his ceiling against Buffalo.

13. Jakobi Meyers – LV vs CHI (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
Meyers has 17 receptions on 26 targets for 228 yards, providing steady production in each of the Raiders’ first three games. While Davante Adams draws defensive attention, Meyers continues to serve as a reliable safety valve and should offer a solid PPR floor against Chicago.

14. Deebo Samuel – WAS @ ATL (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Deebo has caught 16 of 21 targets for 132 yards and a touchdown over three games, though his yards per catch are down (~8.3) as he’s run a lot of shorter routes. Even with limited big-play output so far, he’s in line for volume and should see enough looks in matchups to provide upside.

15. Tyreek Hill – MIA vs NYJ (Mon 7:15 PM ET)
Hill has turned 23 targets into 15 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown over three games, showing his usual blend of speed and separation. While Miami’s offense hasn’t always been perfectly efficient, Hill’s ceiling remains high—especially in matchups where defenses give cushion and let him stretch the field.

16. Courtland Sutton – DEN vs CIN (Mon 8:15 PM ET)
Blurb with limited confirmed data: Sutton has had occasional big performances and remains one of Denver’s more reliable deep threats when target share spikes. With Ja’Marr Chase dealing with an injured QB situation in Cincinnati, Sutton’s path to higher upside opens if Denver leans on its passing game more heavily.

17. Brian Thomas Jr. – JAX @ SF (Sun 4:05 PM ET)
Thomas has 25 targets in three games but has converted just 7 into catches for 115 yards, showing flashes but also lapses. With the wrist injury possibly slowing him, his upside is tied to big plays — when they happen — making him a boom/bust option this week.

18. Emeka Egbuka – TB vs PHI (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Egbuka has burst out of the gate with 14 receptions, 181 yards, and 3 touchdowns in three games, drawing praise as a first-round rookie with immediate impact. Even with the recent hip/groin issue, his red-zone usage and scoring ability make him a sneaky WR2 with WR1 upside in matchups that favor volume.

19. Ladd McConkey – LAC @ NYG (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
McConkey has 15 catches from 21 targets for 163 yards over three games, showing a solid connection with Justin Herbert but still missing end zone chances. His consistency in reception and involvement in the route tree give him a reliable mid-WR2 floor, especially in PPR formats.

20. Keenan Allen – LAC @ NYG (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Allen has caught 19 passes for 194 yards and 3 touchdowns through three games, showing he’s still a trusted option in the Chargers’ passing game. With Herbert’s throws often going his way, he’s a reliable WR2 with upside, especially in matchups where defenses respect the deep threats and leave room underneath.

21. George Pickens – DAL vs GB (Sun 8:20 PM ET)
Pickens has turned 22 targets into 13 catches for 166 yards and 2 touchdowns, putting up steady production in Dallas’s offense. His yardage and red-zone involvement make him a strong WR2/low WR1 depending on opponent weakness.

22. Jauan Jennings – SF vs JAX (Sun 4:05 PM ET)
Jennings has 7 catches on 15 targets for 105 yards and a score through two games, stepping up as a reliable receiver when healthy. Given the injury concerns and potential QB/receiver chemistry fluctuations in San Francisco, his ceiling is good, but his floor has more variability than established top options.

23. Ricky Pearsall – SF @ IND (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Pearsall has compiled 16 catches from 24 targets for 281 yards over three games, ranking among the league’s top WRs in yardage despite zero touchdowns so far. With SF’s receiving room banged up, he’s become the go-to option and could post another strong all‐purpose line this week.

24. Tre Tucker – LV vs CHI (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
Tucker exploded in Week 3 with 8 catches, 145 yards, and 3 touchdowns, showing that when the opportunity arises he can absolutely take over a game. Although his previous usage was modest, the explosiveness and red-zone role in that breakout make him a high-ceiling dart throw in the right matchup.

25. Troy Franklin – DEN vs CIN (Mon 8:15 PM ET)
Franklin has 14 receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown across three games, averaging about 10.1 yards per catch. He’s earning a growing target share and playing a major role in the Broncos’ aerial attack, making him a promising upside WR3 with a chance to climb higher.

26. Wan’Dale Robinson – NYG vs LAC (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Robinson has hauled in 15 catches for 223 yards and a touchdown so far, averaging nearly 15 yards per catch. He’s not seeing elite target volume yet (~7.3 per game), but his efficiency and big play ability give him a ceiling worth betting on, especially in a matchup that could force more passing from NYG.

27. Quentin Johnston – LAC @ NYG (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Johnston has turned 24 targets into 14 receptions for 239 yards and 3 scores across three games. His deep-ball potential and red-zone involvement make him a high ceiling WR2/WR1-ceiling play in favorable spots.

28. Marquise “Hollywood” Brown (KC vs. BAL)
Brown managed just 4 catches on 6 targets for 42 yards in Kansas City’s 22-9 win over the Giants, falling short of our expectations especially in PPR leagues. After his huge volume in Week 1 and the return of Xavier Worthy, this drop-off raises some questions. While he’s still in the mix for deep play vertical usage, we might want to pump the brakes on naming him a weekly WR2/3 for now.

29. Chris Godwin – TB vs NO (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Godwin’s return to practice after his ankle injury suggests he’s trending healthy, and he has been a reliable target over his career. If he can return close to full strength, his slot role and route volume should give him a safe floor, with upside depending on how Tampa Bay’s scheme uses him this week. With Mike Evans dealing with a hamstring injury and Emeka Egbuka being banged up prior to last game, Godwin’s eventual return could not come any sooner.

30. Tetairoa McMillan – CAR @ NE (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
McMillan has hauled in 14 of 27 targets for 216 yards (~15.4 YPC) through three games, confirming his role as a primary receiving option early in his rookie season. He provides upside every week given his size, route involvement, and ability to generate chunk plays—even if the TDs haven’t come yet.

31. Terry McLaurin – WAS vs ATL (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
McLaurin has 10 catches on 17 targets for 149 yards through three games, with no touchdowns yet, but flashed explosive upside—especially in Week 3 with that 74-yard game. He remains one of Washington’s most dangerous deep threats and could return big value if the offense leans on downfield shots.

32. Christian Kirk – HOU vs JAX (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Kirk caught 3 of 8 targets for 25 yards in his first active game of the season after being sidelined by a hamstring injury. His path to fantasy relevance hinges on consistent volume and how well he jells with Stroud; upside is there, but the floor is still shaky.

33. Michael Pittman Jr. – IND @ LAR (Sun 4:05 PM ET)
Pittman has caught 16 of 19 targets for 193 yards and 2 touchdowns through three games, showing steady involvement as Indy’s WR1. He heads into a matchup against the Rams where his volume and red-zone role give him a dependable WR2 floor with upside.

34. Cooper Kupp – SEA @ ARI (Thu 8:15 PM ET)
Kupp has 11 receptions for 136 yards through three games but is still looking for his first touchdown of 2025. While his ceiling is capped compared to his peak years, his route running and reliability keep him in the WR2 mix in Seattle’s scheme.

35. Jordan Addison – MIN @ PIT (Sun 9:30 AM ET)
Addison returns in Week 4 after serving a three-game suspension, ready to rejoin Justin Jefferson in Minnesota’s passing attack. He could immediately provide WR3-plus upside if the Vikings give him consistent looks.

36. Jaylen Waddle – MIA vs NYJ (Mon 7:15 PM ET)
Waddle has 14 catches for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns in three games while battling a shoulder injury. His efficiency has been lower than usual, but his role opposite Tyreek Hill ensures weekly big-play potential and keeps him in the WR2 conversation.

37. Jerry Jeudy – CLE @ DET (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Jeudy has 10 receptions for 134 yards so far and is still searching for his first score of the season. He’s been efficient with a 13.4 yards-per-catch average, and his ability to work downfield gives him WR3 value with room to climb if Cleveland’s passing game improves.

38. Drake London – ATL vs WAS (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
London has 14 receptions for 174 yards and a touchdown through three games, reaffirming his status as Atlanta’s WR1. His size and red-zone usage make him a weekly scoring threat, and Washington’s defense hasn’t shown the ability to slow down physical perimeter receivers.

39. DK Metcalf – PIT vs MIN (Sun 9:30 AM ET)
Metcalf has turned 17 targets into 10 catches for 135 yards and 2 touchdowns across three games, leaning on his deep-ball skill set. While quarterback play in Pittsburgh has been erratic, his red-zone involvement gives him a reliable weekly ceiling.

40. DJ Moore – CHI @ LV (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
Moore has posted 11 catches for 156 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets this season, though the volume has been inconsistent. His yards-after-catch ability keeps him dangerous, and Las Vegas’ secondary should give him room to operate.

41. Calvin Ridley – TEN @ HOU (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Ridley has 8 receptions for 111 yards on 21 targets so far, still searching for his first score of 2025. The opportunities are there, but efficiency has lagged, making him a volatile WR3 until chemistry with his QB improves.

42. A.J. Brown – PHI @ TB (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Brown has 12 catches on 19 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown through three games, highlighted by a 109-yard outing in Week 3. His target share remains strong, and his physical style keeps him locked in as a WR1/WR2 even against tougher matchups.

43. Keon Coleman – BUF vs NO (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Coleman has 7 receptions on 14 targets for 158 yards and a touchdown, averaging nearly 15 yards per catch. The rookie is already carving out a downfield role in Buffalo’s offense, making him a volatile but intriguing WR3 play against the Saints.

44. Tee Higgins – CIN @ DEN (Mon 8:15 PM ET)
Higgins has 7 catches for 104 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets, giving him modest production so far. While the QB change in Cincinnati lowers his efficiency, the volume should remain steady enough to keep him in the WR3 conversation.

45. Marvin Harrison Jr. – ARI vs SEA (Thu 8:15 PM ET)
Harrison has 10 receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown through three games, flashing the route polish and contested-catch skills that made him a top draft pick. His target volume has been uneven, but his talent and role in Arizona’s passing attack keep him in the WR3 mix with weekly spike-game potential.

46. Jameson Williams – DET vs CLE (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Williams has 8 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown on just 12 targets, averaging an eye-popping 21.8 yards per reception. The volume hasn’t been steady, but his speed and big-play ability make him a dangerous flex option who can swing matchups with one deep shot.

47. Travis Hunter – JAX @ SF (Sun 4:05 PM ET)
Hunter has drawn a ~15% target share with solid air-yard involvement and 6.3 average depth of target, contributing as a vertical and intermediate threat. He’s still finding consistency but offers WR3 appeal in a Jacksonville offense that can scheme him into space.

48. Rashod Bateman – BAL @ KC (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
Bateman has 9 catches for 88 yards and a touchdown through three games, though his 9.8 yards per catch highlight the lack of explosive plays so far. After a breakout 2024 campaign and a new contract, he remains a steady part of Baltimore’s offense and holds WR3/FLEX value.

49. DeVonta Smith – PHI @ TB (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Smith has 15 catches for 129 yards and a touchdown across three games, highlighted by an 8-catch, 60-yard, game-winning score in Week 3. His yards per catch are down so far, but his target volume and red-zone usage keep him locked in as a steady WR3 with WR2 upside.

50. Darnell Mooney – ATL vs WAS (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Mooney has managed just 7 receptions on 13 targets for 92 yards through three games, and he’s yet to find the end zone. His speed gives him a shot at splash plays, but the lack of consistent volume keeps him in the deeper-league flex tier.

51. Rashid Shaheed – NO @ BUF (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Shaheed has 14 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown while averaging around 6-7 targets per game. He hasn’t hit many deep shots yet, but his role in the Saints’ passing game makes him a viable flex in PPR formats with occasional home-run potential.

52. Elic Ayomanor – TEN @ HOU (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Ayomanor has 10 receptions for 107 yards and 2 touchdowns through three games, averaging ~10.7 yards per catch. His target count (~18) shows his role is growing, making him an intriguing WR3/FLEX in PPR leagues with touchdown upside.

53. Matthew Golden – GB vs NO (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Golden has caught 6 passes for 68 yards so far in 2025, with 0 touchdowns, as he settles into his rookie role. His yards-per-catch (~11.3) are solid, but volume and red-zone snaps are limited — more upside than floor at this point.

54. Khalil Shakir – BUF vs NO (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Shakir has 11 catches, 121 yards, and 1 touchdown so far, putting up ~11.0 yards per reception. He’s not among the top volume receivers yet, but he’s delivering when called upon and his scoring indicates some red-zone usage.

55. Cedric Tillman – CLE @ DET (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Tillman has 10 catches for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns on 18 targets so far this season, with ~10.0 yards per catch. He’s shown he’s a scoring threat in Cleveland, though the yardage and big plays have been modest.

56. Josh Palmer – BUF vs NO (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
Palmer has 8 catches for 113 yards through three games, averaging ~14.1 yards per reception but still looking for his first touchdown. He’s working as a secondary option in Buffalo’s attack and provides more floor than ceiling as a deep-league flex.

57. Xavier Worthy – KC vs BAL (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
Worthy dislocated his shoulder in the season opener and has been sidelined since, limiting him to just a handful of snaps. When healthy, he’s a vertical weapon for Patrick Mahomes, but for now he’s strictly a stash with upside.

58. Tyquan Thornton – KC vs BAL (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
Thornton has 9 catches for 171 yards and 2 touchdowns so far, flashing strong efficiency and downfield ability. With Worthy out, he’s carved out more opportunity and could be a sneaky flex play if the Chiefs need perimeter speed against Baltimore.

59. Alec Pierce – IND @ LAR (Sun 4:05 PM ET)
Pierce has matched Thornton’s 9 receptions and 171 yards but hasn’t found the end zone yet. His deep-threat usage makes him volatile, and while the Rams matchup offers some upside, his role still leans boom-or-bust.

60. JuJu Smith-Schuster – KC vs BAL (Sun 4:25 PM ET)
JuJu has 10 catches for 115 yards over three games, functioning as a short-to-intermediate safety valve in Kansas City’s passing game. The volume gives him PPR relevance, but his limited explosiveness and lack of touchdowns cap his weekly upside.
