Fantasy Football Big Board: Complete PPR Player Rankings for Week 4

David Dermer/Associated Press

The fantasy rampage of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp continued unabated last week with nine more catches for 96 yards and two scores against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But as big as that game was, Kupp didn’t post the highest PPR score of the week.

Another Los Angeles wide receiver secured that honor.

Per the ADP information at Fantasy Pros, Mike Williams of the Chargers was the 45th wide receiver drafted in 2021. It would appear that the preseason hype surrounding the fifth-year veteran was absolutely justified—three games in, Williams has posted a 22/295/4 stat line, the about-to-be 27-year-old is averaging over 10 targets a game, and only the aforementioned Kupp has more fantasy points among wideouts.

That’s the kind of production from a later-round pick that wins fantasy leagues.

GOOD MATCHUPS

Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Cleveland Browns (at MIN) [DK DFS Value $5,800]

Beckham was a big part of the offense for the Browns in his first game of the 2021 season, turning nine targets into five catches for 77 yards against the Chicago Bears. The Vikings have had all kinds of problems covering opposing wide receivers this season.

Corey Davis, New York Jets (vs. TEN) [DK DFS Value: $5,000]

Davis can be a hard player to trust in fantasy lineups given the rocky start that Zach Wilson’s NFL career is off to. But if ever there was a week for Davis to shine, it’s this one—the Titans have had all kinds of problems defending the pass dating back to the 2020 season.

BAD MATCHUPS

Chase Claypool, Pittsburgh (at GB) [DK DFS Value: $6,100]

The entire Pittsburgh offense has been a major fantasy disappointment in 2021, although Claypool showed some signs of life last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Don’t expect a second consecutive solid stat line against Jaire Alexander and the Packers on Sunday.

Tyler Lockett, Seattle (at SF) [DK DFS Value $7,100]

After a white-hot start to the season, Lockett finally cooled off in Week 3 against the Vikings. He also got injured in the process. He’s expected to be OK, but between the bad wheel and a bad matchup, he’s a risky play in this NFC West tilt.

SLEEPER

Jaylen Waddle, Miami (vs. IND) [DK DFS Value $4,900]

Waddle didn’t pile up the yardage last week, but he racked up the PPR points thanks to 13 targets and 12 receptions. The rookie should be peppered with targets again in a top-10 fantasy matchup for wideouts as Jacoby Brissett looks for payback against his old team.
