Fantasy football week 4 got off to a good start on Thursday Night Football especially if you own A.J. Green. Wide Receivers like Green can generally be a pretty volatile bunch, but ever week there si also plenty of depth to consider regardless of format. If you’re in a season-long league, there are always options that play well even though they start the weekend on the waiver wire. In DFS play, there are almost always cheaper options that put up big points. Getting the right WR sleepers can power you to a win in any format, so check out my top 10 potential WR sleepers for this week on the following slides.

FanSided has assembled some great tools to help you get your lineup set for fantasy football each week.

Just so we’re clear on the parameters of who qualifies for our “WR sleepers.” My goal is to find options who will out-perform their expectations. They may be mid-range who I think will be among the top performers or players toward the bottom of the rankings who have serious potential to step up and give you startable production. These options can be used as DFS plays for the week or given a bump up your rankings to get them in your lineup this week. The last few options are actually available in many season-long formats on the waiver wire.

By definition, these WR sleepers do come with more risk than some the top options. However, I expect each of them to exceed expectations in week 4. One more quick reminder before we start–these are sleeper WRs so don’t go crazy and take a flier on one of them over a more established play.  For example, I like Quincy Enunwa again this week, but I wouldn’t start him over T.Y. Hilton, Brandin Cooks, or even Terrelle Pryor. They’re listed in general order from most well-know to deeppest sleeper.

With those preliminary ground rules established, let’s get rolling with this week’s version of my top ten last-minute sleeper WRs for week 4.
