1. Rishard Matthews-Miami Dolphins (43.7%)

The top widely available option at wide receiver for week 4 is the Dolphins’ Rishard Matthews.  Matthews has posted two big weeks in a row and is emerging as a big part of the Miami passing attack.

Landry Jones does much of the underneath short work and gets a ton of catches, but Mattthews is showing he can stretch the field and also be a dangerous weapon for Ryan Tannehill.  Matthews had a pair of touchdowns in Miami’s loss last week while hauling in six passes for 113 yards.  He also had 100 yards in week 2 when he posted 115 on six catches against the Jaguars.

This week, the Dolphins are hosting a game in London as they take on the Jets. Landry Jones will likely draw Darrelle Revis which means even more work could go Matthews way than usual.  Look for him to be a strong flex play this week as he looks to post 100 yards receiving in his third straight game.
