Fantasy Football Week 4 matchups to exploit: Tee Higgins set to shine

George Pickens vs. IND

Pickens has been the Steelers’ clear top receiver this season, leading the team with a 24% target share through three games. He’s earned more than twice as many targets as any other Pittsburgh receiver. Pickens currently ranks second in team air yard share according to Player Profiler, which is important for fantasy. This downfield usage often leads to big plays.

In Week 4, Pickens will face the Colts. Indy allowed three different Bears pass-catchers to top 75 receiving yards last week.

That’s 17% higher than any other team in the league. They’ve allowed three receivers to total over 130 yards, including Jauan Jennings’ 175-yard, three-touchdown performance last week. Start Odunze with confidence.

Tank Dell vs. JAX

Dell finally came through with a solid performance in Week 3. He produced 62 receiving yards on five catches and was a usable FLEX piece for you against the Vikings. Dell has now ran a route on 81% of the Texans’ passing plays and earned 18% of the targets this season.

The past two games have been difficult matchups. Dell has faced the Bears and Vikings who both have top-four defenses according to NFL Pro. But this week the matchup gets much better. Dell will face the Jaguars who PFF has as…
