Five WR‑CB Matchups That Should Shape Week 4 Fantasy Lineups

Overview

• The Week 4 preview, published Thursday and refreshed Friday, highlights five specific WR‑CB matchups to guide lineup choices for the weekend slate.
• Josh Downs is projected to benefit most in London against Mike Sainristil after Alec Pierce’s early exit boosted Downs’ target share and slot role, while Sainristil has allowed the most fantasy points per route run this season.
• Matthew Golden profiles well versus Benjamin Morrison because Golden has high early-season per-route production and a team-leading target share while Morrison ranks among the CBs allowing the most fantasy points per route run.
• Stefon Diggs should see favorable opportunities lined up often against Justin Walley given Diggs’ heavy target share for Washington and Walley’s above-average fantasy points allowed per route run.
• Brian Thomas Jr. and Ladd McConkey face tougher spots: Thomas Jr. has low usage and draws Daxton Hill and DJ Turner, who allow few fantasy points per route run, while McConkey’s strong per-play numbers meet Devon Witherspoon, who has one of the lowest marks against receivers.
