Wide Receiver 1: Cooper Kupp ($7,800)

Cooper Kupp has arguably been the best wide receiver in football through three weeks, catching 25-of-33 balls for 367 yards and five touchdowns. If we’re wanting to splurge on one position/player, he’s the one this week against an Arizona defense that gives up a lot of points to the receiver position.

Kupp is a solid play and should be the focal point of this week’s lineup. He costs a pretty penny but so far he’s been a top-five wideout lock, so securing that is a big deal.

Wide Receiver 2: D.J. Moore ($6,600)

D.J. Moore is essentially a discounted Kupp. He plays a similar role in Carolina’s offense, and has a 30.1% target share through three weeks. He, like Kupp, is guaranteed volume because of how often he finds and exploits holes in opposing defenses.

He’s a great play this week because he’s not overly expensive and he’s guaranteed volume in a game against Dallas where there will be a lot of offense.

Wide Receiver 3: Jaylen Waddle ($4,900)

Jaylen Waddle has operated as the top wideout in Miami, pulling a 22.2% target share, which is 19th in the league. Last week was especially volume-heavy for Waddle, as he caught 12-of-13 targets for just 58 yards.

I’d like to see the yardage increase for Waddle, but the usage is hard to ignore, especially for such a low price. Waddle and the Dolphins find themselves in a great Week 4 matchup against the Colts, in what will be a competitive game.

Waddle nicely rounds out our volume-heavy receiving corps for the week.
