As we roll into my Week 4 Wide Receiver Sleepers and Streamers, we do have some notable injuries to monitor. Justin Jefferson, Mike Evans, and Jalen Coker all left Sunday’s games and did not return. If these receivers are to miss time, Jordan Addison and Deebo Samuel will see a major jump in fantasy production. Given that, let’s jump into this week’s sleepers and streamers.

Week 4 Wide Receiver Sleepers
Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals (at New York Giants)
Michael Wilson has been disappointing to start the year but finally had a bounce-back game this past week. He had 17 targets. Let me say that again: 17. Now, I don’t expect him to get that many targets, but in Weeks 1 and 2, he had seven targets each game. He has a great matchup this week against the Giants, who just gave up 15.2 fantasy points to Wan’Dale Robinson. I wouldn’t be scared to start Wilson, thinking last week was a fluke. He is getting the targets, and the production will come.
Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (vs. Detroit Lions)
It is getting to the point where you might have to bench Tetairoa McMillan. But this is not the week to do it. The Lions secondary just gave up three touchdowns to three different receivers on the Jets last week. In three games, the Lions have given up nine touchdowns through the air and only have two interceptions. This is the time Bryce Young has his bounce-back game after losing to the Browns. There is a chance Jalen Coker misses Week 4, which means McMillan has no excuses not to go off this week.
Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Miami Dolphins)
It is likely that Justin Jefferson will play in Week 4, so that means Jordan Addison’s stock should drop. Don’t be one of those fantasy owners who drops him or is scared to start him this week. Kyler Murray didn’t look great, but he did air the ball out and targeted Addison nine times. Now, this can be an outlier since Jefferson left the game. But the matchup this week is enticing. This will be Murray’s confidence boost, as the receivers should feast against this defense.
Week 4 Wide Receiver Streamers
Devaughn Vele, New Orleans Saints (vs. Atlanta Falcons)
Devaughn Vele has earned a stream every week. The Saints’ rush game has been horrendous, but the passing game is what is keeping them in these games. The downside is that Tyler Shough moves the ball around, so Vele is still getting targets but not the workhorse role. Vele has 15 targets through three weeks, which has turned into 172 yards and one touchdown. This week, however, will be different. The Falcons just gave up a combined 196 yards and two touchdowns to Matthew Golden and Christian Watson last week.
Keenan Allen, Indianapolis Colts (at Washington Commanders)
Keenan Allen finally had some production in this offense. With Alec Pierce on IR, Allen is a great streaming option based on matchup. This is a great matchup this week, as the Commanders just gave up 379 yards and four touchdowns to Sam Darnold. Three of those went to wide receivers. In Week 2, they also gave up four touchdowns to Dak Prescott. So, this secondary gives up a lot of touchdowns. Allen is a high-upside red-zone target and will be a great flex start this week.
Cody White and Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (vs. Kansas City Chiefs)
Tre Tucker is the safer option over Cody White. But if you want to take a risk and show your ball knowledge, White could be a stream option this week. The targets are low with White, but in the red zone, White has four targets, and with those four targets, he has three receptions for 28 yards and three touchdowns. He has a 50% target share among wide receivers in the red zone.
Tucker, on the other hand, is not a red-zone threat but is more of a deep-route threat and overall the second option to Brock Bowers. Kirk Cousins has also been dealing this year, and I’m going to ride the Raiders while they are hot.
