The absolute most noteworthy one from Week 4 is Kansas Metropolitan Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, who is dreaded to have actually torn his best ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a huge blow for both the Chiefs and also imagination managers alike. Via the 1st three weeks, Rice led the league with 24 events and also stood best 2 in both lawns (288) and intendeds (32 ). Novice WR Xavier Worthy, who is actually currently rostered in many organizations, racked up 13.7 dream factors Sunday, while professional TE Travis Kelce additionally stepped up in Rice's lack. However, there is actually no very clear prospect to fill up the opportunity Rice leaves, making this a difficult rotation to predict.It are going to likely be actually 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 fantasy purposes would be actually Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs recipients in 2022 with 933 gardens on 78 events (with 3 touchdowns), second simply to Kelce in those categories.Now, permit's study this week's disclaimer cable. Our team'll start along with a group of pass receivers who can potentially aid you take care of Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a pretty good Full week 4. Will he carry out the very same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York City Jets (44.2% rostered): The Jets have gradually increase Williams' utilization over recent handful of weeks as he returns from in 2015's ACL trauma. He do with 10.7 dream aspects versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, uploading a season-high 5 targets, 4 functions as well as 67 receiving backyards. Now is a great time to incorporate Williams, yet always remember he is actually primarily playing in 11 personnel. While he deserves picking up, you may certainly not want to begin him against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, The Big Apple Giants (27.1%): It's unexpected that Robinson isn't rostered in additional games. Daniel Jones depends heavily on each him and also Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually observed eight-plus targets in three out of four video games, with pair of activities of 12-plus targets. He has likewise scored 12-plus imagination scores in 3 of the 4 activities. He is actually strongly on the flex radar versus the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen went through a hamstring injury in Week 3 versus the Sin City Raiders and also was actually positioned on IR. This offered Legette an opportunity to acquire more snaps and also targets versus the Cincinnati Bengals-- and also he took total benefit. He caught 6 of his 10 aim ats, racking up 19.6 dream points. The Panthers' offense seems renewed along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, producing Legette is actually a sound flex possibility in deeper formats moving into Week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Appreciation the Commish Championship RingRecognize the devotion and hard-earned authority of your league's Commish along with bling. Usage code FOCUS10 for 10% off your purchase. Outlet Now.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually slashed 15-plus dream factors as well as found six-plus targets in 2 direct games. He possesses also operate the second-most courses on his staff over that period. With Davante Adams detailed as "week-to-week" because of a hamstring injury, Tucker must proceed playing an essential task in the Raiders' passing video game and also ought to be actually rostered. The Raiders face the Broncos in Full week 5, and along with Jakobi Meyers very likely active against Dab Surtain II, Tucker remains to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Environment-friendly Gulf Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was ruled out due to a high ankle sprain in the 2nd fourth of Sunday's activity versus the Vikings. Wicks promptly came in as the beginning wide receiver opposite Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and also seldom left the field. He completed with thirteen aims for and also 24.8 imagination aspects. It's worth taking note that Jayden Splint, who had 8 aims for and also 27.1 fantasy points, predominantly plays in three-WR sets. In Week 5, Wicks deals with a Los Angeles Rams defense that has quit the third-most WR dream points every activity. If Watson misses opportunity, Wicks can be viewed as a high-end flex option. If not, Wicks is actually additional of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was a breakout candidate this summer, but a preseason accident took the wind out of his sails. He didn't create his regular-season debut until Week 3, yet his 22.2 imagination points against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 revealed what he may do, especially along with Joe Flacco under center. Downs tied Michael Pittman Jr. for the staff lead with nine targets and also could possess more efficient video games ahead of time if Flacco starts while Anthony Richardson bounces back coming from the hip accident he endured Sunday. Downs is actually strongly on the flex radar for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense has actually permitted the eighth-most WR imagination points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) as well as Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams along with 82 acquiring lawns on 4 catches versus the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington possessed more functions (6 ). Both Atwell as well as Whittington submitted strong dream functionalities, each scoring 12.2 scores. I favor Atwell, that has slashed 12-plus imagination points in two straight activities. Nonetheless, each are worth factor in deeper styles and ought to remain associated with the Rams' passing game till Cooper Kupp as well as Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Falcons (3.5%): McCloud ought to get on your radar in deeper games. He has actually possessed five-plus intendeds as well as 40-plus obtaining gardens in 3 of his four games this time. Running primarily from the port, he plays in a Falcons outburst that regularly manages 11 staffs. Interestingly, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta ga receiver when Kirk Cousins is actually struggling. Having said that, the Falcons position simply 22nd in passing efforts per video game, which limits his fantasy ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 Just how Sam Darnold has actually assisted Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates malfunctions exactly how Sam Darnold has improved his and also Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's awakening has actually been gorgeous to enjoy. He has actually now racked up 19-plus fantasy points in three straight video games, as yet he's incredibly still accessible in lots of organizations. Darnold is growing in scalp trainer Kevin O'Connell's offending program, with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as his best pair of receivers. He likewise stands out under pressure and also when blitzed, which is actually an important quality offered the significant increase in pressure fees this time. Darnold is on the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in Greater london versus his past team, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Area had a season-high 31.9 fantasy factors against the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the 1st gamer in Steelers past history to throw for 300 passing yards, surge for fifty gardens as well as have pair of rushing ratings in a solitary activity. He has actually now scored 18-plus imagination points in successive games. With the Dallas Cowboys self defense coping with many accidents moving right into Full week 5, Specialization could be viewed as a high-end QB2. Dallas gives up the fourth-most QB imagination aspects every video game, creating this a quite advantageous matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence did finish with a season-high 14.7 imagination points Sunday against the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he experiences a Indianapolis Colts self defense that has made it possible for simply under twenty fantasy factors per video game to QBs. This competition could be a great option for him to turn points around, especially along with Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk and also Gabe Davis as his best three receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's imagination efficiency Sunday versus the Bengals yielded only 15.7 factors, which had not been as remarkable as his 24.5 factors against the Raiders in Full week 3. Nevertheless, he stays a dependable possibility for imagination supervisors managing QB problems, particularly in superflex formats. Along with upcoming matchups versus the Bears, Falcons as well as Commanders, Dalton could be deemed a low-end QB2 as supervisors navigate bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco revealed he still possesses some magic left, scoring 15.0 imagination points versus the Steelers while filling in for Richardson, who hurt a hip in the 1st zone. It was actually freshening to see a Colts quarterback efficiently circulate the football. As of now, it is actually unclear whether Richardson's injury is actually serious, but it might be important to certainly not hurry him back, offered his disparity. If Flacco starts in Full week 5 versus a Jaguars defense that permits the second-most QB fantasy factors per game, he could arrive at the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 fantasy outlookDaniel Dopp as well as Stephania Alarm expect Bucky Irving to do well in Full week 5 in spite of injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa florida Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I know Irving is actually rostered in simply over 50% of games, however he needs to be your leading RB target if he's still accessible. Prior to the Week 4 activity versus the Eagles, reports pointed out Irving would acquire additional work-- as well as he carried out. Despite a hamstring problem, he had 11 contacts as well as a season-high 12.5 dream points. Rachaad White, who possessed food poisoning the day prior to the game, managed 12 touches and 10.4 dream aspects. Go obtain Irving.Braelon Allen, New York Spurts (45.4%): Allen led the Jets in hurrying lawns on Sunday against the Broncos. The Planes' RB board seems to become tightening up, along with Allen ending up the video game along with 9 flairs as well as 5.1 imagination points, while Breece Venue possessed 12 flairs as well as only 2.8 aspects. It's likewise worth taking note that Allen is acquiring a much higher percent of early-down snaps, very likely to aid deal with Hall's work. No matter, Allen should be rostered all over as well as stores standalone value. If Hall misses out on whenever, the rookie is going to right away get on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 touches and 13.1 fantasy factors Thursday night versus the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both touches and also fantasy aspects. The principal concern is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and also Deuce Vaughn are actually all obtaining snaps and also contacts. That pointed out, along with NFL groups balancing 119.7 rushing yards every game (the most through Week 4 this century) and the created thrill cost at 39.8% (the greatest due to the fact that 2010), landing a starting RB off the disclaimer wire is actually still a terrific find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Ga Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier finished with 10 flairs (for the second time this time) and also 10.0 dream factors versus the Saints on Sunday. So far in 2024, he boasts a higher lawns every thrill as well as gardens after call every attempt than Bijan Robinson. I am actually not mentioning Allgeier will definitely supplant Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, however it's crystal clear he possesses a duty and also standalone value in dream. If Robinson overlooks whenever, Allgeier is going to absolutely get on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 dream points by means of four activities, despite having fewer contacts than Zamir White. He's a better receiver away from the backfield and also even more skillful at preventing confronts. Mattison should have much more contacts. In Week 5, the Raiders face a Broncos protection that gives up the eighth-most RB receptions every video game. This is actually crucial considering that, while the Broncos rank 3rd in operate deter win cost, the Raiders' outrageous line ranks last in run block succeed cost. Mattison could possibly locate themself heavily targeted against Denver.Kareem Search, Kansas Urban Area Chiefs (21.4%): Quest racked up simply 10.5 imagination points Sunday against the Chargers, yet he led Kansas Metropolitan area's backfield with 16 contacts. It is actually also worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele shed a fumble early and also didn't play another piece of cake after that. The Chiefs have one of the best explosive offenses, thus Hunt might be a beneficial fantasy choice if he tackles even more of the passing-game job along with hurrying responsibilities. He must be actually rostered in each leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Container Bigsby is a beneficial add-on to fantasy teamsEric Moody points to anxiety around Travis Etienne's shoulder as to why dream supervisors ought to add Storage tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars along with an exceptional 90 hurrying yards on only 7 tries versus the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard jog. To place that in viewpoint, that is actually more than the 50 yards Travis Etienne Jr. approached his 11 attempts, although Etienne experienced a shoulder trauma in the very first one-fourth. Bigsby has looked wonderful this period and, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, scalp train Doug Pederson's seat is actually receiving hotter. Don't be actually surprised if Bigsby starts obtaining extra contacts against the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Sermon, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left Sunday's game against the Steelers because of a second-half ankle personal injury. It is actually a moderate ankle joint sprain, yet it is actually vague if he'll any type of miss opportunity. Taylor has balanced 19.5 contacts every video game this time. If he is out, Lecture will definitely step into a vital task responsible for an outrageous line that rates 2nd in run block succeed cost. Likewise, in Week 5, the Colts face a Jaguars self defense that has actually lost hope the fourth-most RB imagination points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has averaged 9.0 contacts every activity. He's a sound pickup in deeper styles since the Patriots rank 11th in rushing tries per game. If Rhamondre Stevenson skips opportunity, Gibson could possibly observe a massive workload, even when for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Despite The Fact That D'Andre Swift racked up 23 contacts and 29.5 dream factors versus the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to be to have protected the change-of-pace duty. He published merely 8.6 imagination factors, yet played additional snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft possesses Field Yates' attentionField Yates explains how Tucker Kraft's opportunities remain to develop in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Veggie Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft prepared period highs Sunday versus the Vikings along with 9 aims for, 6 functions, 53 obtaining lawns and 17.3 fantasy points. Jordan Passion threw the ball 54 times due to the fact that the Packers were actually trailing all game long, but Kraft's functionality still signifies effectively for when the Packers possess an even more balanced attack. Up following in Full week 5, Green Bay deals with the Rams-- a team that has lost hope the fourth-most TE dream points per game.Tyler Conklin, New york city Jets (35.7%): The Broncos stopped the Planes' injustice Sunday, yet Conklin's participation was a brilliant area, as he found eight targets. He ranks third in paths run on the Planes this period and plays on a higher amount of pops. In Week 5, The big apple encounters a Vikings protection that has allowed the 10th-most total lawns every game, offering Conklin a possibility to stay involved.Cade Otton, Tampa bay Gulf Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been actually a rugged period for tight ends, with merely twenty goals racked up due to the position-- on speed for the least by means of Full week 4 because 1992. A single thing to note: Otton has actually scored 17 aim ats over the past pair of games. He has also composed double-digit fantasy factors in consecutive matchups. As our team move in to the bye weeks, Otton is actually a solid streaming choice for those in demand, specifically Thursday evening versus the Falcons.
