Zay Flowers or Jayden Reed: Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em picks

Better keep one eye on the injury reports through Friday with several fantasy studs falling to an array of injuries. Rams WR Cooper Kupp hasn't been placed on IR yet but will still miss Week 4 while Texans duo Nico Collins and Tank Dell are both major doubts to suit up as well. As the injuries pile up, two WRs will be looking to leave the chasing pack behind - Zay Flowers and Jayden Reed. Both WRs have a different skill set in different offenses but we could very well see both rack up big points this week.

Zay Flowers fantasy outlook for Week 4

Dallas was supposed to be a tough matchup for this Ravens offense but all things considered, most of us were surprised by how much fun the Ravens rushing offense had against the Cowboys. Amid Derrick Henry rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns, Zay Flowers was a bit of an afterthought. Flowers caught 3-of-4 targets for 20 yards in the 28-25 win.

That said, he is still the Ravens' WR1. Flowers averaged 10.5 targets in the first two games but the run was so effective against Dallas that Baltimore moved away from passing altogether. Lamar Jackson threw just 15 passes and four of them were to Flowers himself. Those are encouraging numbers.

The Bills' pass defense will give Jackson and Flowers a lot more trouble than Dallas did. A whole lot more, now that I think about it. But Flowers should still be heavily involved all night.

Jayden Reed fantasy outlook for Week 4

The Packers face the Vikings this week and while Jordan Love will be a game-time decision, the fact that he participated in practice this week is an encouraging sign. Love missed the last two weeks with an MCL sprain he picked up late in the Week 1 loss to the Eagles. However, Reed was explosive against Philly in Brazil that night, leading all receivers in fantasy points after catching four passes for 138 yards and a score.

Reed didn't replicate that production over the next two weeks but he also didn't have Jordan Love under center.

That said, this Brian Flores defense is a mean unit. They've locked down receivers and haven't allowed a touchdown at the position yet. If Love suits up, expect Reed to change that on Sunday.

Zay Flowers or Jayden Reed: Final verdict

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start analyzer is higher on Flowers than we are but this Bills matchup is just not one to mess with.

Zay Flowers vs Jayden Reed: Week 4 fantasy outlook

Reed's matchup against a tough Minnesota defense isn't one to exploit either, but this all rests on Jordan Love. If we see one of the league's highest-paid quarterbacks suit up on Sunday night, this is going Reed's way.
