Romeo Doubs and tight end Tucker Kraft are still options for
Jordan Love ahead of the rookie, but not for long. And in this
contest, Golden, coming off his best game of the season (4-4-52),
has 'home cookin' going for him. He was born in Texas, raised
in Texas, went to UH and then UT. Facing the worst pass defense
in the league (47.9 FPts/G allowed), Golden and Doubs and Kraft
can and will all produce fantasy-worthy totals.
It's amazing how quickly and easily Justin Herbert and Keenan
Allen became a thing... again. While everyone was fawning over Ladd
McConkey this off-season, Allen and even Quentin Johnston have
become relevant. I just saw an interview with Herbert and he noted
that when he's in trouble he just "knows" Allen will find a way
to get open for him. So far, that's turned into 28 targets in
three games. In Week 4 they play the 31st-ranked Giants' pass
defense which has allowed 44.1 FPts/G to opposing wideouts. Allen
will get his share.
The Bears have allowed a league-worst six touchdown passes to
opposing wideouts and 40 fantasy points. Meyers is still the No.
1 wideout despite the monster game from Tre Tucker in Week 3 (40.9
fantasy points). The Bears don't produce many sacks and are middle-of-the-pack
in pressuring quarterbacks (16%). Meyers should rebound from an
off game in Week 3 when he saw just four targets after seeing
22 in the first two weekends.
Metcalf has always been a deep threat wideout with a 14.4 yards-per-reception
for his career. But in Week 4 the Steelers will face a wicked
pass rush from the Vikings (33.7% pressure rate) and the immobile
Aaron Rodgers won't have time to throw the deep ball. Unless
Metcalf breaks a couple of quick slants, this could be a tough
day.
In his rookie season, Marvin Harrison Jr. struggled against the
Seahawks and averaged just 8.3 FPts/G. He failed to crack 50 yards
in either game and obviously didn't score. It hasn't
gone his way in 2025 after a decent season opener (6-5-71-1) he's
disappeared the last two weeks, including an ugly drop in Week
3. Meanwhile, the Seattle pass defense is ranked No.2 against
opposing wideouts (21.2 FPts/G allowing just 296 yards and one
score in three games.
Diggs is on his third team in three seasons and his production
is headed in the wrong direction. From a top-five performer in
2022 and still a top-20 guy in 2024, he’s started slowly
in New England. Just 15 targets over the first three games and
an 8.1 FPts/G average. Targets have gone from 7-5-3 over that
span. The Panthers, surprisingly, are not the team you get healthy
on as a wideout. They rank third and are yielding just 22.3 FPts/G.
That’s not much to share between Diggs, Demario Douglas,
Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins.
