There are six teams on bye in Week 4, so it is understandable if you’re having a hard time finding suitable replacements. The wide receiver position has had plenty of new faces climbing into the mix, and they can give you a hand in these kinds of weeks. Here are some names that could perform well beyond their current value.
Fantasy football sleepers, Week 4: Wide Receivers
Seven of the top receivers are on bye. Here are a few replacements that could help get you through to next week.

There's no denying that Andre Johnson is still the number one wideout in Houston. But despite having eight more targets than his counterpart, Hopkins has still managed to accumulate 36 more yards en route to averaging six more yards per reception.
If that weren't enough, Hopkins continues to remain under the radar in 2014, having yet to finish with less than eight fantasy points in any given week (a feat even Calvin Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, and Brandon Marshall fail to claim.) Look for that streak to continue against a Buffalo Bills defense that has allowed the seventh-most points to opposing receivers.
Though the Green Bay Packers offense has failed to live up to their expectations, Adams continues to surpass his.
While Randall Cobb has doubled Adams’ snap-count, Davante has quietly bolstered a 77 percent catch-rate throughout the year. You might think he’s losing valuable playing time being the third-receiver and all, but the Packers lead the league in 11 personnel by a whopping margin. As long as he remains in the slot, Adams’ potential as a high-end WR3 is legitimate.
Though Jeffrey doesn't qualify as a "sleeper" so to speak, he continues to be undervalued given Brandon Marshall's status. If Marshall sits or even attempts to play at 50 percent Sunday, Jeffrey's targets alone could vault him into top 5 territory. He's a must-play WR1 if Marshall can't go.
