4. Jakobi Meyers & DeVante Parker, WRs, New England Patriots (vs. DET)

Another pair of teammates, Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker have a golden matchup this week against the Detroit Lions’ third-worst secondary that gives up the sixth-most fantasy points to the wide receiver position through four weeks.

Any game involving the Detroit Lions should be a big fantasy game. Just last week, Jared Goff and Geno Smith were the top two fantasy quarterbacks that day. Just insane!

Meyers has missed the last two games with injury, so his status bears watching. However, he’s practiced in both weeks so perhaps this is the week he returns. Even if he does, he and Parker both will be fantasy relevant in a dream matchup, especially if Mac Jones returns to the lineup this week.
