Emmanuel Sanders & Demaryius Thomas @ Buccaneers

After complaining about being “frustrated” in the Broncos offense, Sanders went off for a monster game last week against the Bengals. First-year starter Trevor Siemian went to Sanders early and often against the Bengals throwing 13 passes his way. Sanders caught nine of those targets for 117 yards and a pair of touchdowns after totaling just 88 yards and no touchdowns in the first two weeks of the year.

While Sanders had the bigger week last week, Demaryius Thomas is still the team’s no. 1 option. Thomas only got seven passes his way on Sunday but still had 100 yards and a touchdown. Thomas is back to practicing in full after a hip injury early this season.

Both receivers are set up for more success as the the Broncos head to Florida to face the Bucs this week. Tampa is giving up the third-most fantasy points in the NFL to opposing WR including a league-high seven WR touchdowns.

Both Sanders and Thomas are good plays this week, so enjoy the success of the Denver offense and get them in your lineup for fantasy football week 4 in a great matchup against Tampa’s struggling defense. If I had to pick just one, I’d lean toward Sanders since he has established a clear rapport with Siemian. Both are WR2’s in my fantasy football Week 4 rankings and should be started if possible.
