Wide Receiver, Jarvis Landry, Cleveland Browns $7,400

Jarvis Landry hasn’t missed a beat since coming over from the Miami Dolphins. Landry ranks fifth in the league with 37 targets and seventh in the league with 20 receptions through three games. Jarvis has been called upon to be the leader of this new look Browns receiving corps. Week 4 he gets a date with Jon Gruden’s (0-3) Oakland Raiders.

The 2018 Raiders have created quite the buzz already, but not for good reasons. The Raiders rank 20th in overall defense, 19th against the pass and 22nd against the rush respectively. This gives Landry a great matchup given his overall usage per game thus far. The Raiders have given up 374.3 total yards a game, 258 passing yards, 116.3 rushing yards and 27 total points a game.

Landry has 278 total receiving yards and averages 92.67 a game. Which is good for (9th) and (10th) best in the league. What Landry has managed to accomplish in Cleveland is nothing short of amazing. Nobody saw this Browns team being a week-to-week contender. The Browns have exceeded all expectations thus far and look to continue against a lost Raiders defense Sunday.

With Baker Mayfield taking the reigns, Landry and Co. will find ample opportunities going forward. Last week against the Jets’ eighth-ranked defense, Landry hauled in eight of 15 targets for 103 total yards. His 12.3 targets per game and 6.6 receptions can’t be ignored this week against the lowly Raiders defense. Landry is a must play in Week 4.

Prediction: 100 receiving yards, 1 touchdown, 15 targets, 10 receptions.
