NFL Predictions Week 4: Wes Welker and 3 WRs Guaranteed to Dominate

Wes Welker

After watching Wes Welker have a career day in a losing effort against the Bills last week, look for Welker to have another big day against Oakland. 

Oakland's secondary is very vulnerable if they cannot get to the quarterback, and getting past the solid and underrated Patriots offensive line is no easy task. If the Raiders play their usual simple man-to-man schemes, Brady will carve them up, and Welker will get big numbers in the process. 

Calvin Johnson

Another receiver that will dominate this Sunday is Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions. The Lions will throw against a very thin secondary in Dallas, and if they can keep DeMarcus Ware in check, Detroit will light up the scoreboard.

Even in double coverage, Johnson can still make plays; there might not be much coordinator Rob Ryan can do to slow him down this week. 

Hakeem Nicks

In Arizona, look for the Giants and Hakeem Nicks to have a big day through the air. Arizona is starting two rookie cornerbacks, and have really struggled to defend the pass. If the Cardinals key on Nicks, Manningham may have a big day of his own.

Either way, if you have a Giants receiver on your team, make sure he is in your starting lineup.

Jimmy Graham

He may not technically be a receiver, but Saints tight end Jimmy Graham is slated for a huge day. New Orleans will take on Jacksonville, who have really struggled to cover tight ends. They allowed a ton of yardage to Dustin Keller of the Jets in Week 2, and that was with Mark Sanchez throwing to him.

Brees will exploit Graham's ability to create mismatches for a big day.
