The NFL season has been wild through the first three weeks. One week you see a guy go off and then the next week that same guy produces a goose egg. Picking the right guy seems to get harder and harder each week. That is where we are here to help. Our analysis will help you pick the right guy to put in your lineup and help you win your matchup! Below are our picks for the Week 4 Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em for WRs.
Obviously, there are some players who are must-start every single week due to where you drafted them, such as CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson. However, the WR2 and WR3 positions are a bit more fluid, causing some tough decisions to be made. To help you through these tough decisions, check out our weekly fantasy football rankings and read on for our Week 4 fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em analysis at WR.

Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 4 WRs
Start: Diontae Johnson Fantasy Outlook vs Cincinnati Bengals
The former Pittsburgh Steeler is on the start side of the Week 4 Fantasy Football Start ’em Sit ’em. Diontae Johnson got a big boost with the quarterback change. Andy Dalton was able to find Johnson for eight catches for 122 yards and a touchdown. This week should have more designed plays for Johnson, as Adam Thielen will be out. DJ will also get some help on the other side of the ball.
The Cincinnati Bengals have given up a lot of points to WR1 of their opponents. In Week 2, the Bengals gave up 18.5 points to Rashee Rice and, last week, Terry Mclaurin gashed them for 20 points. More of the same should show itself this week as Andy Dalton has his revenge game. Start Diontae Johnson in your lineups this week.
Start: Jayden Reed Fantasy Outlook vs Minnesota Vikings
The Green Bay Packer receiver who led the league in fantasy points in Week 1 is a start this week. Jayden Reed has not had some great weeks since Jordan Love went down. Since Malik Willis took over, Reed has had 5.6 and 10.9 fantasy points in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively. This week, Jordan Love should be back and Reed can continue where he left off.
Reed will face the team that gives up the 10th-most fantasy points per game in the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are giving up 14 points per game to WR1 so far in the young season. Reed should have an okay game, if he is stuck with Willis and if Love is back he should be in a good spot on Sunday.

Sit: Garrett Wilson Fantasy Outlook vs Denver Broncos
Garrett Wilson is the first WR of the sit column this week. The New York Jet has done pretty well this season having 36.5 points through three games. Aaron Rodgers has helped out the former first-round selection more than Zach Wilson and the other Jet QBs have.
On the defensive side of the ball is Patrick Surtain II. PS2 is one of the best corners in the league, as we have previously stated in our Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em articles this year. Surtain has shut down DK Metcalf, George Pickens and Mike Evans to a combined seven receptions for 75 yards. Wilson will avoid him a little bit, but he will mostly be shadowed by Surtain. Bench the Jets WR this week.
Sit: Tyreek Hill Fantasy Outlook vs Tennessee Titans
The WR1 who last year led the league in receiving is on the sit part for this week. Tyreek Hill went off in Week 1 and since has been lost on the field. He totaled 26 points in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the two games since, he has gotten 13.6 points combined against the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks. The last game was without Tua Tagovailoa, as he is on the IR with a concussion. Tua will miss this game as well, so there will be quarterback questions on Monday.
The Tennessee Titans defense is no slouch either. The Titans have allowed the third-fewest points to WRs so far this season. WR1s have averaged 10 points per game against the Titans’ defense in the first three games of the year. Tyreek Hill is going to be a tough sit, but with the Titans defense and a downgrade at quarterback, it might be best to bench him.
