• Drake London should continue to produce in a favorable matchup: London has been among the most efficient wide receivers against man coverage and draws an ideal matchup in Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints.
• The Houston Texans‘ wide receivers have had split success against man coverage: Nico Collins has excelled against man, while Tank Dell has been quiet. They face the most man-heavy defense in the league this week, so fantasy managers should expect more of the same from these two.

The Commanders have run a slightly above-average rate of zone coverage while ranking among the 10 worst teams in defensive success rate (41.3%) from zone. They are also among the five worst zone defenses in explosive play rate allowed (17.5%) and first down-plus-touchdown rate allowed (40.0%).
Week 4 waiver wire target Michael Wilson has been much better against zone coverage this season, to the point where he has seen just one reception against man compared to 10 versus zone, accounting for 95% of his total fantasy production this season. He should be in a nice spot to produce against the Commanders' defense, especially if Trey McBride (concussion) is unable to go for Week 4.
