Intriguing WRs To Start in Week 4
Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Detroit Lions
Of all the skill position players set to take the field on Thursday Night Football, St. Brown is the one I am least concerned about. After an injury scare last week, there have been no concerns this week, and he should be in line for his usual usage.

There should be little hesitation in getting St. Brown as either a low-end WR1 or a high-end WR2 in your lineup.
Jaylen Waddle, WR, Miami Dolphins
The positive news coming out of Miami today is that Jaylen Waddle was at least able to practice as he works his way through the concussion protocol. The majority of the time, practicing leads to being cleared either soon after or in the following days. Barring a setback, we should expect that Waddle will play.

If he is cleared, Waddle becomes an easy starting option for fantasy managers. Concussions do not tend to have a knock-on effect on performance following a player’s return. Fire Waddle up as a WR2 option in your lineups if he does get cleared.
