Sign Up Right Now >>Injuries remain to wreak havoc throughout the organization. The best notable one from Full week 4 is Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, who is actually been afraid to have actually torn his ideal ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a large draft for both the Chiefs and fantasy managers as well. Through the very first three weeks, Rice led the category with 24 events and stood top pair of in both lawns (288) and also intendeds (32 ). Novice WR Xavier Worthy, who is actually rostered in the majority of leagues, scored 13.7 dream factors Sunday, while expert TE Travis Kelce also boosted in Rice's lack. Nonetheless, there's no clear candidate to load the vacancy Rice leaves, making this a complicated turning to predict.It will likely be a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN organizations), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and also Mecole Hardman. My enlightened assumption on whom to target for fantasy purposes would certainly be Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs recipients in 2022 along with 933 lawns on 78 events (with 3 goals), 2nd just to Kelce in those categories.Now, allow's study this week's disclaimer wire. We'll start with a team of pass receivers that can possibly assist you deal with Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a pretty good Week 4. Will he do the exact same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York Jets (44.2% rostered): The Jets have actually slowly ramped up Williams' consumption over recent couple of weeks as he comes back coming from in 2014's ACL injury. He finished with 10.7 fantasy points against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, publishing a season-high 5 intendeds, 4 receptions and 67 acquiring yards. Now is actually a good time to add Williams, yet always remember he's largely playing in 11 staffs. While he's worth picking up, you might not intend to begin him against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, The Big Apple Giants (27.1%): It is actually unexpected that Robinson isn't rostered in additional leagues. Daniel Jones counts intensely on both him as well as Malik Nabers. Robinson has found eight-plus aim ats in three out of 4 activities, along with 2 games of 12-plus intendeds. He has additionally scored 12-plus dream scores in three of the four activities. He is actually securely on the flex radar versus the Seattle Seahawks in Full Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen experienced a hamstring personal injury in Full week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders and also was placed on IR. This provided Legette a possibility to get even more snaps and also targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- as well as he took full conveniences. He caught 6 of his 10 aim ats, scoring 19.6 imagination aspects. The Panthers' offense looks to be renewed with Andy Dalton at quarterback, producing Legette is actually a strong flex alternative in much deeper styles heading right into Week 5 against the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Respect the Commish Champion RingRecognize the devotion as well as hard-earned authority of your organization's Commish with bling. Make use of code FOCUS10 for 10% off your purchase. Outlet Right now.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has slashed 15-plus imagination aspects and found six-plus aim ats in pair of direct activities. He has additionally operate the second-most options on his crew over that period. With Davante Adams provided as "week-to-week" due to a hamstring trauma, Tucker needs to proceed playing an essential part in the Raiders' death activity and also ought to be actually rostered. The Raiders face the Broncos in Full week 5, as well as with Jakobi Meyers likely hectic against Dab Surtain II, Tucker endures to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Green Gulf Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was actually ruled out due to a high ankle joint sprain in the 2nd fourth of Sunday's video game against the Vikings. Wicks instantly stepped in as the starting pass receiver opposite Romeo Doubs (25.2%) as well as hardly left the industry. He do with 13 targets and 24.8 dream points. It's worth keeping in mind that Jayden Reed, that had eight aims for and 27.1 dream aspects, largely plays in three-WR collections. In Full week 5, Wicks encounters a Los Angeles Rams defense that has actually surrendered the third-most WR fantasy scores every game. If Watson overlooks time, Wicks can be considered as a premium flex choice. Or even, Wicks is additional of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was actually a breakout applicant this summertime, yet a preseason injury took the wind out of his sails. He didn't make his regular-season launching until Full week 3, but his 22.2 dream factors versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 showed what he can possibly do, particularly with Joe Flacco under center. Downs tied Michael Pittman Jr. for the crew lead with nine targets and can possess much more successful video games in advance if Flacco starts while Anthony Richardson recuperates coming from the hip trauma he endured Sunday. Downs is strongly on the flex radar for Week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose self defense has actually enabled the eighth-most WR fantasy points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) and Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams with 82 acquiring yards on 4 catches versus the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington had even more functions (6 ). Each Atwell and Whittington submitted strong imagination functionalities, each scoring 12.2 scores. I choose Atwell, who has actually slashed 12-plus imagination ideas in two direct video games. Having said that, each deserve factor to consider in much deeper layouts as well as must continue to be associated with the Rams' passing away game until Cooper Kupp and also Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Ga Falcons (3.5%): McCloud ought to perform your radar in deeper leagues. He has possessed five-plus targets as well as 40-plus receiving backyards in three of his four video games this season. Functioning primarily from the slot, he plays in a Falcons outburst that often operates 11 workers. Surprisingly, he is actually the second-most-targeted Atlanta receiver when Kirk Cousins is actually struggling. Having said that, the Falcons rank just 22nd in passing attempts per game, which confines his imagination ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 How Sam Darnold has actually helped Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks exactly how Sam Darnold has actually improved his as well as Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has actually been impressive to view. He has actually currently racked up 19-plus fantasy points in 3 forthright games, as yet he is actually shockingly still offered in lots of organizations. Darnold is growing in scalp coach Kevin O'Connell's offensive program, along with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his best two recipients. He likewise succeeds struggling and when blitzed, which is an important characteristic offered the significant rise in pressure costs this time. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in Greater london versus his previous group, the Jets.Justin Fields, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Specialization possessed a season-high 31.9 fantasy aspects against the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the first gamer in Steelers record to throw for 300 passing yards, thrill for 50 yards as well as possess pair of hurrying scores in a single game. He has now scored 18-plus imagination ideas in successive games. With the Dallas Cowboys self defense managing numerous injuries moving right into Full week 5, Area could be considered a high-end QB2. Dallas loses hope the fourth-most QB dream points every video game, making this a very beneficial matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence did do with a season-high 14.7 imagination aspects Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he experiences a Indianapolis Colts protection that has permitted only under 20 dream aspects per video game to QBs. This match could be a fantastic possibility for him to transform factors around, specifically with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk and Gabe Davis as his leading 3 receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's fantasy efficiency Sunday against the Bengals generated just 15.7 aspects, which wasn't as remarkable as his 24.5 factors against the Raiders in Full week 3. Nonetheless, he continues to be a trusted choice for dream managers managing QB problems, specifically in superflex styles. Along with upcoming matchups versus the Bears, Falcons and Commanders, Dalton could be viewed as a low-end QB2 as managers browse bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco showed he still has some magic left, slashing 15.0 fantasy factors versus the Steelers while substituting Richardson, that harmed a hip in the first part. It was actually freshening to find a Colts quarterback efficiently distribute the regulation football. As of now, it's uncertain whether Richardson's trauma is actually severe, but it might be important to not rush him back, offered his inconsistency. If Flacco starts in Week 5 versus a Jaguars self defense that allows the second-most QB fantasy aspects per activity, he could possibly arrive at the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 dream outlookDaniel Dopp and Stephania Alarm expect Bucky Irving to accomplish properly in Week 5 in spite of injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I recognize Irving is rostered in just over 50% of leagues, however he ought to be your leading RB aim at if he is actually still available. Before the Week 4 activity against the Eagles, records said Irving would obtain additional work-- and also he performed. Despite having a hamstring issue, he had 11 contacts and a season-high 12.5 fantasy factors. Rachaad White, who possessed food poisoning the time just before the video game, dealt with 12 contacts and 10.4 fantasy factors. Go get Irving.Braelon Allen, Nyc Spurts (45.4%): Allen led the Jets in hurrying yards on Sunday against the Broncos. The Planes' RB board seems to be to become tightening up, along with Allen ending up the video game with 9 flairs and also 5.1 fantasy points, while Breece Venue possessed 12 flairs and only 2.8 points. It is actually additionally worth keeping in mind that Allen is receiving a much higher portion of early-down snaps, very likely to aid take care of Hall's workload. Irrespective, Allen must be actually rostered just about everywhere and holds standalone value. If Venue misses out on at any time, the newbie is going to promptly be on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle possessed a season-high 12 touches and 13.1 dream factors Thursday evening against the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both contacts and imagination factors. The major worry is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn are actually all obtaining snaps as well as touches. That stated, with NFL groups balancing 119.7 hurrying yards per activity (the best via Full week 4 this century) as well as the developed rush fee at 39.8% (the best due to the fact that 2010), landing a beginning RB off the waiver cord is still a fantastic find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier finished with 10 flairs (for the second time this season) as well as 10.0 fantasy factors against the Saints on Sunday. Up until now in 2024, he boasts a higher lawns per rush and yards after call every effort than Bijan Robinson. I am actually not pointing out Allgeier will definitely supplant Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, but it's crystal clear he has a role as well as standalone market value in imagination. If Robinson overlooks at any time, Allgeier is going to absolutely perform the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Las Vegas Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 imagination point in times through 4 activities, even with possessing less contacts than Zamir White. He is actually a better recipient away from the backfield and additional knowledgeable at staying clear of confronts. Mattison is worthy of more contacts. In Week 5, the Raiders experience a Broncos self defense that surrenders the eighth-most RB receptions per game. This is actually key because, while the Broncos place 3rd in run cease gain fee, the Raiders' annoying line places last in operate block gain rate. Mattison can locate themself highly targeted versus Denver.Kareem Quest, Kansas Metropolitan Area Chiefs (21.4%): Pursuit scored simply 10.5 dream aspects Sunday against the Chargers, but he led Kansas City's backfield along with 16 touches. It's likewise worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele lost a fumble early as well as didn't play another breeze after that. The Chiefs possess some of the absolute most explosive offenses, so Search might be an important dream possibility if he tackles more of the passing-game duty in addition to rushing tasks. He needs to be actually rostered in all leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Storage tank Bigsby is an important enhancement to fantasy teamsEric Moody suggests uncertainty around Travis Etienne's shoulder in order to why dream supervisors must add Tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars along with an exceptional 90 hurrying backyards on simply 7 tries against the Texans, including a standout 58-yard jog. To put that in viewpoint, that is actually much more than the fifty lawns Travis Etienne Jr. gained on his 11 tries, although Etienne suffered a shoulder injury in the 1st fourth. Bigsby has actually looked great this season as well as, along with the Jaguars sitting at 0-4, scalp coach Doug Pederson's chair is obtaining hotter. Do not be shocked if Bigsby starts getting even more contacts versus the Colts in Week 5. Trey Homily, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's video game versus the Steelers because of a second-half ankle joint injury. It is a moderate ankle strain, yet it's not clear if he'll any type of miss out on opportunity. Taylor has actually balanced 19.5 contacts per game this period. If he is out, Preaching will definitely step into a crucial job responsible for a repulsive line that ranks second in run block succeed rate. Likewise, in Week 5, the Colts experience a Jaguars protection that has given up the fourth-most RB fantasy points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has averaged 9.0 touches every game. He is actually a strong pick up in much deeper styles considering that the Patriots place 11th in rushing attempts per game. If Rhamondre Stevenson misses out on time, Gibson might view a massive workload, even though for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Although D'Andre Swift acquired 23 contacts and 29.5 dream factors versus the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to be to have secured the change-of-pace job. He submitted simply 8.6 imagination aspects, but played additional snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft possesses Field Yates' attentionField Yates discusses just how Tucker Kraft's options remain to grow in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Eco-friendly Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft set period highs Sunday against the Vikings with 9 aims for, 6 celebrations, 53 getting gardens and 17.3 dream factors. Jordan Love threw the reception 54 times because the Packers were routing all game long, but Kraft's performance still bodes effectively for when the Packers have a more balanced strike. Up next in Week 5, Environment-friendly Bay faces the Rams-- a crew that has quit the fourth-most TE dream factors per game.Tyler Conklin, The big apple Planes (35.7%): The Broncos closed down the Planes' affront Sunday, however Conklin's engagement was actually a brilliant place, as he found eight targets. He rates 3rd in routes operate on the Planes this period and also uses a high percent of pops. In Week 5, New york city deals with a Vikings defense that has permitted the 10th-most complete yards per activity, providing Conklin a chance to remain involved.Cade Otton, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been actually a rough period for cramping sides, along with only 20 touchdowns counted by the setting-- on rate for the fewest with Week 4 given that 1992. Something to note: Otton has racked up 17 aim ats over the past 2 video games. He has actually likewise scored double-digit imagination points in consecutive competitions. As our team head in to the bye weeks, Otton is a strong streaming alternative for those in need, especially Thursday evening versus the Falcons.
