Each week, fantasy owners can pretty much expect a wide receiver to blow up, but Week 3’s performances have them more excited than ever for Week 4. Three different wideouts scored more than 40 PPR fantasy points on Sunday after none had done it yet in this young 2015 season.
Fantasy football rankings, Week 4: Consensus wide receivers for PPR leagues
The SB Nation fantasy staff rounds up the rankings for the top 50 wide receivers in PPR leagues.
A.J. Green broke out in a huge way against his division rivals, while Steve Smith and Julio Jones continued their monster starts to the season. Keenan Allen, Antonio Brown and Brandon Marshall were also PPR monsters in Week 3, each catching 13, 11 and 10 passes respectively, and the SB Nation staff is big on that trio once again for Week 4.
Even with injuries to Ben Roethlisberger, Tony Romo and Drew Brees, the wide receiver spectrum is still deep enough for fantasy owners to capitalize, even if they're forced to look wistfully at Dez Bryant clogging their benches for the foreseeable future. The trick is to know where to find production, and that can involve looking in places you wouldn't ordinarily. The SB Nation fantasy staff has those owners covered, ranking the wide receivers in PPR leagues for Week 4.
