One of the most noteworthy one from Full week 4 is Kansas Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, who is actually been afraid to have torn his appropriate ACL on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a huge draft for both the Chiefs and also fantasy managers identical. Through the initial 3 full weeks, Rice led the category with 24 functions as well as ranked top two in both gardens (288) as well as targets (32 ). Novice WR Xavier Worthy, who is presently rostered in most organizations, racked up 13.7 dream aspects Sunday, while professional TE Travis Kelce also boosted in Rice's absence. However, there's no clear prospect to fill the vacancy Rice leaves behind, creating this a difficult rotation to predict.It will likely be a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN leagues), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, as well as Mecole Hardman. My taught hunch on whom to target for dream reasons would be actually Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs recipients in 2022 along with 933 backyards on 78 receptions (along with 3 goals), 2nd just to Kelce in those categories.Now, allow's dive into today's disclaimer cord. We'll start along with a team of pass receivers that can possibly aid you deal with Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a respectable Full week 4. Will he perform the exact same in Week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York City Jets (44.2% rostered): The Planes have slowly increase Williams' usage over recent couple of full weeks as he returns from in 2013's ACL personal injury. He do with 10.7 dream points versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, submitting a season-high 5 aim ats, 4 celebrations as well as 67 obtaining lawns. Right now is a fun time to include Williams, yet keep in mind he is actually largely playing in 11 employees. While he costs grabbing, you could not wish to begin him versus the Minnesota Vikings in Full Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, The Big Apple Giants (27.1%): It is actually shocking that Robinson isn't rostered in more organizations. Daniel Jones relies highly on both him and Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually observed eight-plus aim ats in 3 away from 4 games, with pair of video games of 12-plus targets. He has likewise scored 12-plus imagination points in three of the four activities. He's strongly on the flex radar against the Seat Seahawks in Full Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen endured a hamstring trauma in Full week 3 versus the Sin City Raiders and also was actually positioned on IR. This gave Legette an opportunity to acquire additional snaps and targets versus the Cincinnati Bengals-- and also he took total advantage. He caught six of his 10 intendeds, racking up 19.6 imagination points. The Panthers' offense looks to be refreshed along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, helping make Legette is actually a strong flex possibility in deeper styles heading in to Week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Respect the Commish Champion RingRecognize the devotion as well as hard-earned authority of your league's Commish along with bling. Use code FOCUS10 for 10% off your purchase. Outlet Currently.Tre Tucker, Sin City Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually scored 15-plus dream aspects and also found six-plus aim ats in pair of straight games. He possesses additionally operate the second-most options on his group over that span. With Davante Adams listed as "week-to-week" because of a hamstring accident, Tucker ought to carry on participating in a key function in the Raiders' passing game as well as should be actually rostered. The Raiders face the Broncos in Full week 5, and also along with Jakobi Meyers probably busy against Pat Surtain II, Tucker remains to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Green Bay Packers (9.5%): Religious Watson was dismissed due to a higher ankle joint strain in the second quarter of Sunday's activity versus the Vikings. Wicks immediately intervened as the starting wide receiver opposite Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and seldom left behind the area. He do with thirteen targets and also 24.8 dream factors. It costs noting that Jayden Reed, that possessed eight aims for and 27.1 dream points, mostly plays in three-WR collections. In Week 5, Wicks faces a Los Angeles Rams defense that has actually lost hope the third-most WR imagination points every game. If Watson misses opportunity, Wicks could be considered as a high-end flex alternative. Otherwise, Wicks is actually more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was a breakout applicant this summertime, yet a preseason accident took the wind out of his sails. He really did not make his regular-season debut up until Full week 3, yet his 22.2 fantasy factors versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 showed what he may do, especially with Joe Flacco under center. Downs tied Michael Pittman Jr. for the team lead along with nine targets and also could have much more effective games ahead if Flacco starts while Anthony Richardson bounces back from the hip injury he suffered Sunday. Downs is firmly on the flex radar for Full week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose self defense has permitted 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 along with 82 acquiring backyards on four catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington had more functions (6 ). Each Atwell as well as Whittington uploaded strong fantasy efficiencies, each scoring 12.2 points. I prefer Atwell, who has slashed 12-plus fantasy ideas in pair of direct video games. Nevertheless, each are worth factor in much deeper styles and also should continue to be associated with the Rams' passing video game till Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (3.5%): McCloud needs to get on your radar in deeper organizations. He has had five-plus intendeds and 40-plus acquiring gardens in 3 of his 4 activities this period. Functioning primarily coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that often runs 11 employees. Interestingly, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta georgia recipient when Kirk Cousins is under pressure. Nonetheless, the Falcons rank simply 22nd in passing tries every video game, which confines his dream ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 How Sam Darnold has helped Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates malfunctions how Sam Darnold has improved his and also Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has actually been awesome to view. He has actually right now scored 19-plus fantasy points in 3 forthright games, as yet he's shockingly still accessible in lots of organizations. Darnold is flourishing in scalp train Kevin O'Connell's annoying plan, with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his top two recipients. He additionally excels under pressure and when blitzed, which is actually a useful characteristic provided the notable rise in stress fees this season. Darnold is on the QB1 radar for Week 5 in London versus his former group, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Area had a season-high 31.9 fantasy factors versus the Colts on Sunday. He became the very first player in Steelers past to toss for 300 passing yards, rush for fifty yards and also have 2 hurrying ratings in a solitary game. He has now scored 18-plus fantasy points in consecutive video games. Along With the Dallas Cowboys self defense taking care of several traumas heading right into Week 5, Specialization could be seen as a high-end QB2. Dallas loses hope the fourth-most QB dream points per video game, creating this an incredibly ideal matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence did completed with a season-high 14.7 fantasy factors Sunday against the Houston Texans. In Full week 5, he faces a Indianapolis Colts defense that has actually permitted only under twenty dream aspects per activity to QBs. This competition may be a terrific opportunity for him to transform things around, specifically along with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk as well as Gabe Davis as his top 3 receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's imagination functionality Sunday against the Bengals generated just 15.7 aspects, which had not been as outstanding as his 24.5 aspects against the Raiders in Full week 3. Nonetheless, he continues to be a reliable possibility for dream supervisors taking care of QB concerns, especially in superflex formats. Along with upcoming matchups against the Bears, Falcons as well as Commanders, Dalton can be considered as a low-end QB2 as managers browse bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco revealed he still has some magic left, slashing 15.0 dream points versus the Steelers while substituting Richardson, that harmed a hip in the first sector. It was refreshing to find a Colts quarterback efficiently disperse the football. As of now, it is actually unclear whether Richardson's injury is serious, however it might be a good idea to certainly not rush him back, provided his variance. If Flacco begins in Full week 5 against a Jaguars protection that makes it possible for the second-most QB imagination aspects every video game, he could land on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Full week 5 fantasy outlookDaniel Dopp and Stephania Alarm anticipate Bucky Irving to accomplish properly in Full week 5 in spite of personal injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa florida Gulf Buccaneers (51.7%): I know Irving is actually rostered in just over fifty% of games, however he must be your best RB target if he is actually still readily available. Just before the Week 4 game against the Eagles, files stated Irving would certainly get more work-- and also he did. Despite having a hamstring concern, he had 11 touches as well as a season-high 12.5 dream factors. Rachaad White, who had gastrointestinal disorder the day just before the video game, handled 12 contacts as well as 10.4 fantasy factors. Go receive Irving.Braelon Allen, Nyc Spurts (45.4%): Allen led the Sprays in hurrying yards on Sunday against the Broncos. The Planes' RB board seems to become securing up, with Allen ending up the activity with nine flairs and 5.1 imagination aspects, while Breece Hall had 12 touches and also only 2.8 points. It is actually likewise worth taking note that Allen is acquiring a much higher portion of early-down snaps, most likely to aid handle Venue's work. Irrespective, Allen should be rostered all over and holds standalone worth. If Hall overlooks whenever, the newbie will right away be on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 contacts as well as 13.1 imagination points Thursday night versus the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both contacts and also fantasy aspects. The primary worry is actually that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott as well as Deuce Vaughn are all receiving snaps and also contacts. That said, with NFL groups averaging 119.7 rushing yards every game (the most by means of Week 4 this century) as well as the created thrill price at 39.8% (the highest given that 2010), landing a starting RB off the disclaimer wire is still a fantastic find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier completed with 10 flairs (for the second time this season) as well as 10.0 dream points against the Saints on Sunday. Thus far in 2024, he includes a higher backyards every surge and also backyards after connect with every effort than Bijan Robinson. I am actually not saying Allgeier is going to replace Robinson in the Falcons' RB committee, but it is actually crystal clear he possesses a duty and standalone worth in fantasy. If Robinson misses any time, Allgeier is going to certainly get on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Las Vegas Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 dream instances via four games, in spite of having less touches than Zamir White. He is actually a far better receiver away from the backfield as well as even more proficient at avoiding confronts. Mattison ought to have more contacts. In Week 5, the Raiders face a Broncos self defense that quits the eighth-most RB receptions every game. This is crucial given that, while the Broncos position third in run deter win price, the Raiders' offending line ranks last in run block gain cost. Mattison might locate himself highly targeted against Denver.Kareem Search, Kansas Urban Area Chiefs (21.4%): Search racked up simply 10.5 fantasy aspects Sunday against the Chargers, yet he led Kansas City's backfield with 16 contacts. It's additionally worth taking note that Carson Steele shed a fumble early and failed to play another piece of cake after that. The Chiefs possess one of the absolute most explosive offenses, so Search might be a useful fantasy choice if he handles additional of the passing-game part together with rushing duties. He should be actually rostered in every leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Container Bigsby is a valuable enhancement to imagination teamsEric Moody suggests uncertainty around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why fantasy managers must incorporate Tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with an exceptional 90 rushing gardens on merely 7 tries against the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard jog. To place that in standpoint, that's more than the 50 yards Travis Etienne Jr. gained on his 11 tries, although Etienne experienced a shoulder trauma in the 1st fourth. Bigsby has actually looked fantastic this season as well as, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, head trainer Doug Pederson's seat is receiving hotter. Do not be stunned if Bigsby begins getting much more contacts versus the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Homily, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a second-half ankle joint personal injury. It is actually a mild ankle sprain, but it's confusing if he'll any sort of miss out on time. Taylor has actually balanced 19.5 contacts per game this season. If he is out, Sermon will enter a key role behind an objectionable line that places 2nd in run block gain cost. Additionally, in Full week 5, the Colts face a Jaguars self defense that has actually given up the fourth-most RB fantasy points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has actually averaged 9.0 touches every game. He is actually a solid pick up in deeper layouts since the Patriots place 11th in rushing tries every game. If Rhamondre Stevenson overlooks opportunity, Gibson might see a substantial workload, even though for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Despite The Fact That D'Andre Swift acquired 23 touches as well as 29.5 dream points against the Rams on Sunday, Johnson appears to have actually gotten the change-of-pace task. He submitted only 8.6 fantasy points, but played even more breaks than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Area Yates' attentionField Yates describes just how Tucker Kraft's options remain to increase in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft prepared season highs Sunday versus the Vikings with 9 aims for, 6 functions, 53 getting yards and also 17.3 imagination factors. Jordan Love threw the ball 54 times since the Packers were routing all video game long, however Kraft's efficiency still forebodes well for when the Packers have an additional balanced strike. Up next in Full week 5, Veggie Gulf deals with the Rams-- a crew that has quit the fourth-most TE dream aspects per game.Tyler Conklin, New York Jets (35.7%): The Broncos turned off the Planes' offense Sunday, but Conklin's engagement was actually an intense location, as he saw eight aim ats. He positions 3rd in routes run on the Jets this time and plays on a higher portion of pops. In Week 5, The big apple faces a Vikings self defense that has actually made it possible for the 10th-most overall yards per video game, providing Conklin an odds to remain involved.Cade Otton, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been a rugged period for tight sides, with only 20 touchdowns racked up due to the position-- on speed for the fewest by means of Full week 4 given that 1992. A single thing to note: Otton has actually scored 17 aim ats over recent 2 video games. He has actually additionally composed double-digit fantasy aspects in consecutive matches. As our experts move right into the bye weeks, Otton is a strong streaming alternative for those in necessity, specifically Thursday night versus the Falcons.
