Fantasy Football: 10 wide receiver sleepers to start in Week 4
2. Christian Kirk, Arizona Cardinals
Christian Kirk is second on the Cardinals in catches (15) and leads the team in yards (239). He’s obviously an integral part of their high-flying passing attack and should be treated as such moving forward.
The Cardinals have a tough Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, but they’re giving up a 25th ranked 281.3 yards per game. That number is skewed, partly based on the fact that the Rams jump out to early leads and opposing teams have to throw relentlessly to have a chance.
This is the game of the week for both the NFL and fantasy football. Kirk will benefit nicely from the sheer amount of offense that will be played in this game.
1. Tim Patrick, Denver Broncos
Tim Patrick has become a startable fantasy wide receiver ever since Jerry Jeudy suffered a high-ankle sprain, catching 12-of-13 targets for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Though the volume isn’t as high as others, he compiles a lot of yards and has a nose for the end zone.
Patrick is a solid start this week in what will be a competitive game against the Ravens, where the Broncos will likely be throwing most of the game to keep up with Jackson and their explosive offense.
