Jordan Matthews, WR, Eagles
Don’t be discouraged by last week’s dud, Jordan Matthews was stuck on Revis Island. This week, against a much more forgiving Redskins passing defense, expect Matthews to return to his Week 1 and Week 2 form. The Skins have surrendered four touchdowns and 380 yards to receivers in three games. Matthews will be targeted heavily and will score big on Sunday.
Amari Cooper, WR, Raiders
Just as his teammate Murray has thrust himself into the RB1 conversation, Amari Cooper is now in the WR1 discussion. In his last two games he has 15 receptions, 243 yards, 22 targets and a score. He’s clearly the top option in Oakland and is facing a Bears team that has been smoked by wids receivers this season. Start Cooper with confidence and expect big things.
Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta
If you have Julio Jones on your team, there’s no way in the world you would consider benching him anyway. It’s still worth pointing out that Jones has been the best receiver in the NFL so far this season and is downright unfair in PPR leagues. Jones has hauled in 34 receptions, 440 yards and four touchdowns so far this season, and although the matchup against Houston doesn’t look great on paper, Jones is as matchup-proof as a player can get right now.
