Fantasy Football Week 4 Wide Receiver Rankings

While Brandon Marshall (#1), Larry Fitzgerald (#6), and Santana Moss (#9) were familiar faces in the top 10 wide receivers from week 3, the remaining cast of characters were a bit more unexpected. TJ Houshmandzadeh (#2), Roddy White (#4), and Laveranues Coles (#8), all put up their first double digit performances for the 2008 season. Meanwhile, Brandon Lloyd (#3), Miles Austin (#5), Johnnie Lee Higgins (#7), and Antonio Bryant (#10) all caused mad dashes to the waiver wire. Yes, folks, on any given Sunday, anything can happen. Despite that, we, here, at the Bruno Boys work our tails off to make sure you're ready for the unexpected.

With six NFL teams on bye's in Week 4 you might have to dig extra deep to find your bye week fill in.

By doing so, you might just find yourself that perfect wide receiver.

--------------------

1. Brandon Marshall (Denver Broncos) @ Kansas City

Just think how different the 2008 fantasy season would be if Brandon Marshall didn't win his appeal of his 3 game suspension. Instead of amassing 22 fantasy points against the San Diego Chargers in week 2 and 21 against the New Orleans Saints in week 3, Marshall would just be getting onto the field for the first time this week. If that's the case, no way is he number one of this list. But, Marshall did win his appeal, his owners did get the 43 points he's amassed in two games, and with his 21.5 point average, he is clearly the best fantasy wide receiver at the moment.
Point Projection: 22 points

2. Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals) @ New York Jets

Leapin' Larry got the job done again in week 3, following up his 153 yard outing against the Dolphins with 109 yards and a score versus the Washington Redskins. Kurt Warner, who has 6 TDs on the year to just 1 INT, looks rejuvenated and has the Cardinals' passing game working. Look for them to continue to roll in week 4 against the Jets.
Point Projection: 20 points

--------------------

3. Terrell Owens (Dallas Cowboys) vs. Washington 

After 2 straight games of 80+ yards and at least one score, T.O. was held in check in week 3 by the Packers' Charles Woodson to the tune of 2 receptions for 17 yards. But, don't fret if you own Owens. Last season when the Redskins came to town, T.O. went off, hauling in 8 passes for 173 yards and 4 TDs. Obviously, we don't expect the same numbers this time around, but he should at least reach that 80+ yard and one TD plateau.
Point Projection: 18 points

--------------------

4. TJ Houshmandzadeh (Cincinnati Bengals) vs. Cleveland

Maybe the Bengals passing game hasn't flat lined just yet. Against a Giants' Defense that ranked 5th against the pass heading into their match-up, the Bengals got things rolling as Carson Palmer amassed 286 passing yards. 146 of those yards went TJ Houshmandzadeh's way as did Palmer's lone TD. Housh has 5 total TDs in his last 4 games against the Browns, look for the wideout to get another one here.
Point Projection: 18 points

--------------------

5. Steve Smith (Carolina Panthers) vs. Atlanta

So, it wasn't Brandon Marshall-esque, but Smith still had a nice solid debut, going for 70 yards on 4 receptions against the Vikings in week 3. An even better day should be in store for Smith in week 4 as the Panthers get set to take on the Falcons, a team that has already given up 4 passing TDs this season.
Point Projection: 16 points

--------------------

6. Anquan Boldin (Arizona Cardinals) @ New York Jets

Boldin may have only amassed 25 yards on 3 receptions in week 3, but he did find pay dirt on one of those receptions, giving him 4 on the year. Far and away, Boldin and Fitz are the best wide receiver duo in the league, and rather than take away from one another, they both make the other better. Enjoy another solid outing.
Point Projection: 15 points

--------------------

7. Santana Moss (Washington Redskins) @ Dallas

Who would have thunk that Santana and not Randy would be the best wide receiver named Moss after 3 weeks of football, but that's how things have played out. The diminutive Moss has tallied a TD in each of the Redskins first three games, and he should make it 4 in a row as the Skins' get set to face the Cowboys in week 4. In 2007, Moss toasted Dallas for 236 yards and 2 TDs in 2 games.
Point Projection: 15 points

--------------------

8. Braylon Edwards (Cleveland Browns) @ Cincinnati

The Cleveland Browns' foes in the battle for Ohio, the Cincinnati Bengals, found their rhythm in the passing game in week 3, can the Browns do the same in week 4? Well, if 2007 is any indication, then the answer is yes. In two games with the Bengals last season, Edwards racked up 171 yards and 4 total TDs. If ever there was a week for him to get out of his funk, this is it.
Point Projection: 15 points

--------------------

9. Lee Evans (Buffalo Bills) @ St. Louis

The Rams are currently giving up on average, 272.3 passing yards a game. That number would be higher if opposing offense weren't jumping out to such big leads against St. Louis, leaving them content to run the ball most of the second half. Evans should have a big day against the Rams weak secondary and should get his first TD of the year as the Rams have already given up 7 passing scores in just 3 weeks of football.
Point Projection: 15 points

 --------------------

10. Roddy White (Atlanta Falcons) @ Carolina

After two steady 5 point outings in weeks 1 and 2, White broke out in week 3, going for 115 yards and a TD in the Falcons win over the Chiefs. He should have another solid week in week 4 going against a Panthers defense that he caught 6+ balls against twice last season.
Point Projection: 14 points
