WR Sleepers

Rishard Matthews-Miami Dolphins: Matthews has started off the season strong and had another big game this week in Miami’s loss to the Bills.  Matthews led the team with 113 yards receiving and caught both of Ryan Tannehill’s touchdown throws.  The Dolphins spread the ball around in the passing game, but Matthews has 16 catches, 262 yards receiving, and three touchdowns already this season.

Kendall Wright-Tennessee Titans: Since Tennessee was trying to keep up with the Colts, Wright was very involved in their attack.  He finished with 95 yards on his seven catches with a trip to the end zone and 13 rushing yards as well.

Sep 27, 2015; Baltimore, MD, USA; Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones (82) catches a pass over Baltimore Ravens defensive back Kyle Arrington (24) during the fourth quarter at M&T Bank Stadium.

Marvin Jones-Cincinnati Bengals: Jones found the end zone for his second straight week finishing with 94 yards and a score on his five catches against the Ravens.  Jones has clearly established himself as the second WR on the Bengals and should be a fringe WR3 or 4 going forward.

Rueben Randle-New York Giants: Randle had a big game on Thursday finishing with 116 yards by catching all seven passes that came his way including a long touchdown.  Randle will have to earn his playing time ahead of the Victor Cruz next week, so proceed with caution on Randle even though it’s good to see him involved in the offense.

Ted Ginn Jr-Carolina Panthers: Ginn hauled in four of his six targets from Cam Newton this week finishing with 93 yards.  The Panthers don’t have many receiving options, so Ginn will keep getting looks going forward.
