5. LAC Ladd McConkey @ Cleveland Browns
Ladd McConkey

FanDuel Salary: $6,400

Browns Average FanDuel Points Allowed Per Game to WRs: 31.0 (28th of 32)

McConkey enjoyed a breakout performance last week, catching six passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-8 win over the Saints. The rookie has become a go-to option for quarterback Justin Herbert, seeing at least six targets in five straight games.
1. NO Chris Olave @ Carolina Panthers
Chris Olave

FanDuel Salary: $7,100

Panthers Average FanDuel Points Allowed Per Game to WRs: 27.1 (19th of 32)

Olave returned last week from a one-game absence, tallying eight receptions for 107 yards despite catching passes from both Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener. With Derek Carr expected back for Week 9, Olave is in line for another productive outing against a Panthers defense that was just shredded by Bo Nix and the Broncos. He's my top WR play this week.

2. PHI A.J. Brown vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
A.J. Brown

FanDuel Salary: $9,000

Jaguars Average FanDuel Points Allowed Per Game to WRs: 33.2 (29th of 32)

Brown should feast against Jacksonville's struggling pass defense, which allows the second-most yards per game and the second-highest yards per target (8.80).

Other Eagles WRs to Consider: DeVonta Smith ($7,800)
3. DEN Courtland Sutton @ Baltimore Ravens
Courtland Sutton

FanDuel Salary: $6,000

Ravens Average FanDuel Points Allowed Per Game to WRs: 37.1 (31st of 32)

No team allows more passing yards per game than the Ravens. Coming off his first 100-yard performance of the season, Sutton is well-positioned to build on his momentum.

4. IND Josh Downs @ Minnesota Vikings
Josh Downs

FanDuel Salary: $6,900

Vikings Average FanDuel Points Allowed Per Game to WRs: 37.7 (32nd of 32)

Joe Flacco will start at quarterback for the Colts, raising the floor and ceiling of Indy's pass catchers, with Downs the most appealing.

Other Colts WRs to Consider: Michael Pittman Jr. ($5,800), Alec Pierce ($5,200)
