Fantasy Football 2015 Rankings, Sleepers & Week 4 Waiver Wire: Top 5 NFL Players to Pick Up This Week
Fantasy Football owners are preparing for Week 4. The waiver wire is absolutely critical to winning your league because there are always sleepers out there waiting to be picked. Often times injuries and poor play will have owners searching for players in free agency.
Here are five sleepers you should consider for Week 4.
1. Rueben Randle
Eli Manning has zero interceptions through the first three games of the season. Who would of predicted that? Victor Cruz's status is flimsily every week, so you better take a look at another New York Giants wide receiver. Odell Beckham Jr. is the Giants No. 1 wide out, but Rueben Randle is getting his looks. Randle had 116 receiving yards last week against the Washington Redskins with a touchdown grab. Let's also not forget Randle even had 938 receiving yards just last season.
2. Larry Fitzgerald
He's one of the greatest wide receivers of all time, but mediocre quarterback play over the last few years have kept Fantasy Football owners cautious. Larry Fitzgerald has found the fountain of youth. He has the fifth most receiving yards in the NFL this year, and Carson Palmer is playing like an MVP. Fitzgerald also leads the NFL in touchdown catches. We haven't seen Fitzgerald record 1,000 yards since 2011, but as long as Palmer is healthy, Fitzgerald has the green light. You would be surprised to see how many leagues have Fitzgerald available in free agency.
3. Larry Donnell
Similar to No. 1 on our list, Larry Donnell should get more looks as the season goes on with Cruz's injury. Larry Donnell had a breakout season last year with over 600 yards, and you can bet Manning will continue to look in his direction. The Giants don't have a very reliable running game. Next week Big Blue faces the Buffalo Bills, who will more than likely shut down the Giants ground game. Manning should throw the football at least 35 times in Week 4.
4. Joseph Randle
He's not going to give you the numbers we saw from DeMarco Murray last year, but he's the starter. The Dallas Cowboys won't have Tony Romo for at least the next month and half, and this offensive line has to continue to open up huge holes for the runners. Joseph Randle had 87 rushing yards against the undefeated Atlanta Falcons, and the Cowboys take on the New Orleans in Week 4. Randle should get plenty of carries against a Saints defense that ranks 26th overall in the league. Randle had three touchdowns in Week 3. You can bet Jason Garret will try to establish the run game once again.
5. Chris Johnson
Remember this guy? He was once viewed as the best running back in the league, but last season's 663 yard performance with the New York Jets left him undrafted in most Fantasy leagues. Chris Johnson had a monster day in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers with 150 yards and two touchdowns. The Cardinals have to be sure they're not too one dimension on offense, so handing the ball off to Johnson is critical. Incredibly, Johnson already has more rushing touchdowns this year than he did all of last season. According to NFL.com, Johnson is only owned by 8.2 percent of Fantasy Football owners.
