Adam Humphries leads team in catches as Bucs top Giants.

Humphries caught six passes for 70 yards, including a long reception of 38 yards. The slot receiver could have an easier matchup on Thursday night against New England if Eric Rowe (groin) doesn’t play, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option either way.

Chris Conley gets four targets in Week 4.

Conley caught two passes for 31 yards against the Redskins, and he was targeted deep by Smith as well but they did not connect. Through four games, the third-year receiver is on pace for 32 receptions, 516 yards, and no touchdowns, but he could certainly improve that pace moving forward.

Sterling Shepard catches all five targets in Week 4.

The second-year receiver had 54 yards on his five receptions against Tampa Bay. Through four games, Shepard is on pace for 84 receptions, 1,016 yards, and four touchdowns. He could be a very good option if he starts scoring more after he scored eight touchdowns as a rookie last year.

Charcandrick West catches five passes in Week 4.

West carried once for two yards while adding 35 yards on his five receptions. On most passing and third-down situations, West was in there over rookie Kareem Hunt. He’s probably just a PPR bye week option for now.

Cameron Brate leads team in receiving on Sunday.

Brate caught four passes for 80 yards and a touchdown as the Bucs defeated the Giants 25-23. The score came in the fourth quarter from 14 yards out, and fellow tight end O.J. Howard also had a big day with a 58-yard touchdown. Brate is clearly the guy to own, though, and he’s a TE1 option against New England on Thursday night.

Samaje Perine carries six times in Week 4.

After Rob Kelley left with an ankle injury, Perine took over most of the early-down work in the backfield and had 27 yards on his six attempts. He ran well as he moved forward for positive yardage, but he dropped a toss that he took his eyes off of, and we don’t believe he saw the field after that. Perine would be the FLEX conversation if Kelley were to miss time, but the Redskins have a bye this week.

Evan Engram gets 11 targets in Week 4.

Eli Manning and the Giants are utilizing their rookie tight end, as he caught six passes for 62 yards against the Bucs. Through four games, Engram is on pace for 76 receptions, 800 yards, and four touchdowns, which would be excellent numbers for a rookie tight end. He faces the Chargers in Week 5.
