Week 4 Best And Worst WR, TE Matchups: Keenan Allen in a good spot, Makai Lemon could finally get going

Key Points:

  • The Eagles defense has struggled against slot receivers this season, ranking third-worst in fantasy points allowed and sixth-worst in adjusted yards per attempt, creating favorable matchups for Rams slot receivers like Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and potentially Tyler Higbee if Terrance Ferguson is out.
  • Washington’s Stefon Diggs and Terry McLaurin have strong matchups against the Colts, who allow a high target rate and poor completion rate defense to slot receivers, making Diggs a viable start despite Washington's overall moderate passing volume.
  • Malik Washington of the Dolphins could see increased targets from the slot against the Vikings, who allow significant slot passing but have a strong overall defense, while Isaiah Likely faces a tough matchup against the Cardinals, who limit slot targets and completion rates.
  • On the boundary, Ted Hurst of the Buccaneers is a high-variance option against the Packers, who allow high expected points added and adjusted yards per attempt on boundary throws, despite Hurst’s team having a new starting quarterback.
  • Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Cardinals have excellent boundary matchups against the Giants secondary, likely leading to productive games, whereas the Eagles may need to rely on Makai Lemon against the Rams if DeVonta Smith remains hampered by injury.
