Wide Receivers: Odell Beckham Jr., New York Giants- $8,600; Jarvis Landry, Cleveland Browns- $7,000 & Kenny Stills, Miami Dolphins- $6,400

This week’s stack features two players from the New York Giants; Eli Manning and Beckham. The star wideout is clearly Manning’s favorite option. Through three games he has been targeted at least nine times.

In two of those games he has recored over 100 receiving yards, most recently last week against the Houston Texans, where he caught nine passes for 109 yards. His performance in Houston put him in the record books. It was Beckham’s 21st career game with 100+ receiving yards, tied for the most by a player in his first 50 games.

His 90% catch percentage in Week 3 was a season high and he was top graded offensive player on the Giants, according to Pro Football Focus.

Beckham has yet to find the end zone in 2018, but there is a good chance that changes this week versus the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have allowed the most receiving yards (843) and most touchdowns (9) in the NFL. On average, wideouts are scoring 55.3 fantasy points per game against the Saints.

Another receiver who hasn’t scored a touchdown this year is Landry. But similar to Beckham, that could change sooner rather than later. The main reason why is because Cleveland has given the keys to the offense to rookie Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield made his debut last week against the New York Jets after Tyrod Taylor was forced to leave with a concussion. The rookie single caller threw for over 200 yards and helped lead the Browns to their first victory since 2016.

Landry caught eight passes for 103 yards in the victory over the Jets. He was targeted 15 times for the second time this season. Mayfield will lean on a veteran like Landry to help him move the ball down the field efficiently.

This week, the Browns travel out west to take on the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders have allowed 612 receiving yards, third-most in the NFL. In addition, Oakland has given up 118.1 fantasy points, 39.4 points per game to receivers.

The final wideout to make the Week 4 lineup is Stills. He has only been targeted 13 times this season, but he is a big play waiting to happen. Stills is averaging 20.44 yards per reception, only DeSean Jackson, Tyreek Hill and Jordan Nelson have higher averages at the position.

He is currently tied for second on the Dolphins with nine receptions and leads the team with his 184 yards and three scores. Stills’ matchup against the New England Patriots is favorable. New England has allowed the fifth most fantasy points to receivers in the league.
