The absolute most significant one coming from Full week 4 is Kansas Metropolitan Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is feared to have actually torn his best ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a large draft for both the Chiefs and also imagination managers alike. Via the initial three weeks, Rice led the rank along with 24 events and ranked best pair of in both yards (288) as well as targets (32 ). Rookie WR Xavier Worthy, that is presently rostered in many organizations, racked up 13.7 fantasy aspects Sunday, while pro TE Travis Kelce likewise improved in Rice's absence. Nonetheless, there is actually no very clear applicant to fill up the vacancy Rice leaves, creating this a complicated rotation to predict.It are going to likely be a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN organizations), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and Mecole Hardman. My enlightened assumption on whom to target for imagination objectives would certainly be Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 with 933 gardens on 78 receptions (with three goals), second merely to Kelce in those categories.Now, allow's study recently's waiver cable. Our company'll begin along with a team of wide receivers that may possibly aid you handle Rice's absence.Mike Williams had a fair Full week 4. Will he do the very same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York City Planes (44.2% rostered): The Planes have gradually ramped up Williams' consumption over recent few full weeks as he returns from last year's ACL personal injury. He finished with 10.7 imagination factors versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, submitting a season-high 5 aim ats, 4 functions and also 67 acquiring lawns. Right now is a great time to add Williams, however remember he's primarily playing in 11 staffs. While he costs grabbing, you may certainly not would like to begin him versus the Minnesota Vikings in Full Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, New York City Giants (27.1%): It's unusual that Robinson isn't rostered in more leagues. Daniel Jones relies highly on each him and Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually seen eight-plus intendeds in three out of four video games, along with 2 activities of 12-plus intendeds. He has also scored 12-plus dream scores in three of the 4 activities. He's strongly on the flex radar versus the Seat Seahawks in Full Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen experienced a hamstring personal injury in Week 3 against the Sin City Raiders and was actually placed on IR. This gave Legette a chance to obtain additional snaps and also targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- and also he took complete perk. He captured 6 of his 10 aim ats, racking up 19.6 fantasy aspects. The Panthers' offense seems rejuvenated along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, helping make Legette is actually a solid flex option in much deeper formats moving in to Full week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Respect the Commish Champion RingRecognize the devotion as well as hard-earned authority of your game's Commish along with bling. Make use of code FOCUS10 for 10% off your order. Store Currently.Tre Tucker, Sin City Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has scored 15-plus imagination factors and also seen six-plus intendeds in 2 direct games. He has also manage the second-most routes on his staff over that period. With Davante Adams noted as "week-to-week" as a result of a hamstring injury, Tucker must proceed playing a crucial task in the Raiders' death game and should be rostered. The Raiders face the Broncos in Week 5, and along with Jakobi Meyers most likely occupied against Dab Surtain II, Tucker stands to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Eco-friendly Gulf Packers (9.5%): Religious Watson was actually eliminated due to a higher ankle joint strain in the second one-fourth of Sunday's game versus the Vikings. Wicks right away stepped in as the starting wide receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and seldom left behind the industry. He do with 13 targets and also 24.8 imagination aspects. It costs keeping in mind that Jayden Splint, who had 8 targets and 27.1 dream aspects, mostly plays in three-WR sets. In Week 5, Wicks experiences a Los Angeles Rams self defense that has actually lost hope the third-most WR imagination points every video game. If Watson misses out on opportunity, Wicks may be considered as a high-end flex option. Otherwise, Wicks is even more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was a breakout prospect this summer, however a preseason accident took the wind out of his sails. He failed to make his regular-season debut till Week 3, yet his 22.2 imagination factors against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Full week 4 presented what he can do, specifically with Joe Flacco under center. Downs tied Michael Pittman Jr. for the crew lead along with 9 targets as well as might have extra effective video games in advance if Flacco begins while Anthony Richardson recuperates coming from the hip accident he experienced Sunday. Downs is actually strongly on the flex radar for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose self defense has actually enabled the eighth-most WR dream points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) as well as Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams with 82 acquiring gardens on 4 catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington possessed much more events (6 ). Both Atwell and Whittington posted strong fantasy performances, each slashing 12.2 scores. I favor Atwell, that has slashed 12-plus dream ideas in pair of direct video games. Nonetheless, both cost factor to consider in much deeper formats and should stay associated with the Rams' passing activity up until Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (3.5%): McCloud needs to get on your radar in much deeper leagues. He has possessed five-plus aim ats and 40-plus getting yards in 3 of his 4 activities this period. Functioning mostly coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that frequently runs 11 personnel. Interestingly, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta ga recipient when Kirk Cousins is under the gun. However, the Falcons rank merely 22nd in passing attempts per video game, which restricts his imagination ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 Exactly how Sam Darnold has assisted Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks just how Sam Darnold has actually enhanced his and Justin Jefferson's dream output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has actually been spectacular to check out. He has now scored 19-plus imagination points in 3 forthright games, yet he is actually remarkably still on call in a lot of games. Darnold is flourishing in head trainer Kevin O'Connell's annoying system, along with Justin Jefferson and also Jordan Addison as his best two receivers. He additionally stands out struggling as well as when blitzed, which is a beneficial characteristic offered the notable boost in stress costs this season. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in Greater london against his former group, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Area possessed a season-high 31.9 fantasy factors versus the Colts on Sunday. He came to be the very first player in Steelers background to toss for 300 passing yards, surge for fifty yards and possess pair of rushing credit ratings in a singular video game. He has actually right now scored 18-plus dream points in successive games. Along With the Dallas Cowboys self defense handling numerous traumas moving right into Full week 5, Specialization can be viewed as a premium QB2. Dallas gives up the fourth-most QB imagination points every game, making this an incredibly ideal matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence performed do with a season-high 14.7 dream factors Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he faces a Indianapolis Colts protection that has actually made it possible for merely under 20 fantasy aspects every game to QBs. This matchup might be a great chance for him to transform traits all around, particularly along with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk as well as Gabe Davis as his leading three receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's imagination functionality Sunday versus the Bengals yielded simply 15.7 points, which had not been as outstanding as his 24.5 factors against the Raiders in Week 3. Nonetheless, he stays a reliable alternative for fantasy managers taking care of QB concerns, specifically in superflex layouts. Along with upcoming matches versus the Bears, Falcons as well as Commanders, Dalton can be deemed a low-end QB2 as supervisors get through bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco revealed he still possesses some magic left, scoring 15.0 fantasy points against the Steelers while substituting Richardson, who wounded a hip in the very first sector. It was actually freshening to view a Colts quarterback successfully circulate the soccer. Currently, it's not clear whether Richardson's injury is serious, but it may be important to certainly not hurry him back, offered his variance. If Flacco starts in Week 5 versus a Jaguars defense that permits the second-most QB fantasy factors every game, he can arrive on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 fantasy outlookDaniel Dopp and also Stephania Bell count on Bucky Irving to do well in Full week 5 even with accident concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa fl Gulf Buccaneers (51.7%): I understand Irving is rostered in just over fifty% of games, however he should be your leading RB aim at if he's still on call. Just before the Full week 4 activity against the Eagles, records said Irving would obtain more work-- and also he did. Despite having a hamstring concern, he possessed 11 touches as well as a season-high 12.5 fantasy aspects. Rachaad White, that possessed gastrointestinal disorder the day just before the video game, managed 12 touches as well as 10.4 fantasy factors. Go receive Irving.Braelon Allen, Nyc Squirts (45.4%): Allen led the Squirts in hurrying gardens on Sunday versus the Broncos. The Planes' RB board appears to become tightening up, along with Allen finishing the video game along with nine styles as well as 5.1 imagination points, while Breece Venue had 12 styles and just 2.8 factors. It's also worth noting that Allen is obtaining a much higher portion of early-down snaps, likely to aid manage Venue's amount of work. No matter, Allen ought to be actually rostered all over and stores standalone worth. If Venue skips any time, the novice is going to quickly get on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 touches and also 13.1 fantasy points Thursday evening against the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both touches and fantasy points. The principal problem is actually that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn are actually all obtaining snaps as well as touches. That said, along with NFL teams averaging 119.7 rushing gardens every video game (one of the most with Week 4 this century) as well as the made rush cost at 39.8% (the highest possible due to the fact that 2010), landing a starting RB off the disclaimer cord is actually still a terrific find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier finished with 10 touches (for the 2nd time this period) and 10.0 fantasy factors versus the Saints on Sunday. Thus far in 2024, he boasts a greater lawns every thrill and gardens after contact every effort than Bijan Robinson. I am actually certainly not stating Allgeier is going to replace Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, but it is actually very clear he possesses a duty and standalone worth in dream. If Robinson skips at any time, Allgeier will absolutely perform the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield along with 41.6 dream points via four games, despite having fewer contacts than Zamir White. He's a much better recipient away from the backfield and more proficient at staying clear of tackles. Mattison should have even more touches. In Full week 5, the Raiders experience a Broncos self defense that gives up the eighth-most RB receptions every activity. This is actually key considering that, while the Broncos position third in operate quit gain price, the Raiders' outrageous line places final in run block win price. Mattison might locate themself intensely targeted versus Denver.Kareem Pursuit, Kansas City Chiefs (21.4%): Hunt scored just 10.5 imagination factors Sunday versus the Chargers, however he led Kansas City's backfield along with 16 touches. It's also worth noting that Carson Steele dropped a fumble early and also didn't participate in an additional piece of cake after that. The Chiefs possess some of the most eruptive offenses, thus Search can be a valuable imagination possibility if he tackles additional of the passing-game job in addition to hurrying roles. He must be actually rostered in every leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Storage tank Bigsby is actually a beneficial enhancement to imagination teamsEric Moody indicates uncertainty around Travis Etienne's shoulder in order to why fantasy managers ought to incorporate Container Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars along with an impressive 90 rushing gardens on just 7 tries versus the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard run. To put that in viewpoint, that's more than the 50 lawns Travis Etienne Jr. overtook his 11 efforts, although Etienne experienced a shoulder accident in the initial one-fourth. Bigsby has looked great this time and, with the Jaguars sitting at 0-4, head trainer Doug Pederson's seat is actually acquiring hotter. Don't be surprised if Bigsby begins acquiring much more contacts versus the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Lecture, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's activity versus the Steelers due to a second-half ankle joint personal injury. It is a moderate ankle joint strain, but it's vague if he'll any type of skip time. Taylor has averaged 19.5 touches per game this time. If he is out, Preaching will definitely enter a key job responsible for an objectionable line that places 2nd in operate block gain fee. Also, in Week 5, the Colts experience a Jaguars protection that has quit the fourth-most RB dream points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has balanced 9.0 touches per video game. He's a sound pickup in much deeper styles since the Patriots rank 11th in hurrying efforts every activity. If Rhamondre Stevenson misses opportunity, Gibson can view a significant amount of work, even if for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Even though D'Andre Swift racked up 23 contacts as well as 29.5 fantasy aspects against the Rams on Sunday, Johnson appears to have actually safeguarded the change-of-pace duty. He published just 8.6 imagination aspects, yet played additional snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft possesses Industry Yates' attentionField Yates discusses exactly how Tucker Kraft's chances remain to develop in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Veggie Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft set season highs Sunday versus the Vikings along with 9 targets, 6 functions, 53 acquiring yards as well as 17.3 imagination factors. Jordan Love tossed the reception 54 times because the Packers were routing all game long, yet Kraft's functionality still signifies well for when the Packers have a more well balanced attack. Up following in Week 5, Green Bay experiences the Rams-- a staff that has actually given up the fourth-most TE fantasy aspects per game.Tyler Conklin, The big apple Planes (35.7%): The Broncos stopped the Planes' offense Sunday, but Conklin's engagement was actually an intense location, as he observed eight intendeds. He rates third in courses run on the Jets this time and plays on a high percentage of pops. In Week 5, The big apple faces a Vikings protection that has made it possible for the 10th-most overall gardens per video game, offering Conklin a chance to keep involved.Cade Otton, Tampa Gulf Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been a rough time for tight sides, along with just 20 touchdowns counted by the placement-- on rate for the fewest by means of Full week 4 considering that 1992. A single thing to keep in mind: Otton has actually scored 17 targets over the past two games. He has additionally scored double-digit dream aspects in successive competitions. As we head in to the bye full weeks, Otton is actually a sound streaming possibility for those in need, particularly Thursday night against the Falcons.
