The most notable one from Full week 4 is actually Kansas Urban Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, who is been afraid of to have torn his right ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a significant blow for both the Chiefs and dream supervisors alike. Via the initial three weeks, Rice led the category along with 24 celebrations as well as ranked top two in both gardens (288) and aim ats (32 ). Rookie WR Xavier Worthy, that is actually currently rostered in many games, scored 13.7 dream points Sunday, while professional TE Travis Kelce additionally boosted in Rice's lack. Nevertheless, there is actually no crystal clear prospect to fill up the opportunity Rice leaves, making this a challenging turning 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 guess on whom to target for imagination functions would be actually Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 with 933 lawns on 78 receptions (along with 3 goals), second simply to Kelce in those categories.Now, permit's study recently's disclaimer cord. Our company'll start with a group of wide receivers that can potentially assist you deal with Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a good Week 4. Will he do the exact same in Week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York Planes (44.2% rostered): The Jets have actually slowly increase Williams' usage over the past couple of weeks as he comes back coming from last year's ACL injury. He do with 10.7 dream factors versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, submitting a season-high 5 intendeds, 4 events and 67 obtaining yards. Today is actually a good time to add Williams, but always remember he's primarily playing in 11 employees. While he's worth getting, you could not would like to start him versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, Nyc Giants (27.1%): It is actually astonishing that Robinson isn't rostered in even more leagues. Daniel Jones counts greatly on both him and Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually observed eight-plus intendeds in three out of 4 video games, along with 2 activities of 12-plus targets. He has actually additionally scored 12-plus imagination points in 3 of the 4 games. He's strongly on the flex radar against the Seattle Seahawks in Full Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen endured a hamstring personal injury in Week 3 versus the Las Vegas Raiders as well as was positioned on IR. This offered Legette an opportunity to acquire even more snaps and also targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- and also he took total advantage. He caught 6 of his 10 targets, scoring 19.6 fantasy factors. The Panthers' offense seems refreshed with Andy Dalton at quarterback, helping make Legette is actually a strong flex possibility in deeper formats moving into Full week 5 against the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Appreciation the Commish Championship RingRecognize the devotion as well as hard-earned authority of your organization's Commish along with bling. Use code FOCUS10 for 10% off your order. Shop Now.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has slashed 15-plus dream factors as well as seen six-plus intendeds in two direct video games. He has additionally manage the second-most courses on his crew over that period. With Davante Adams specified as "week-to-week" as a result of a hamstring personal injury, Tucker must proceed playing a crucial part in the Raiders' death game as well as ought to be actually rostered. The Raiders encounter the Broncos in Week 5, as well as with Jakobi Meyers most likely hectic against Dab Surtain II, Tucker remains to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Environment-friendly Bay Packers (9.5%): Religious Watson was actually ruled out as a result of a higher ankle sprain in the second one-fourth of Sunday's activity versus the Vikings. Wicks immediately stepped in as the beginning wide receiver opposite Romeo Doubs (25.2%) as well as seldom left behind the area. He finished with 13 aims for as well as 24.8 dream points. It deserves noting that Jayden Reed, who had eight aims for as well as 27.1 imagination points, predominantly plays in three-WR collections. In Full week 5, Wicks experiences a Los Angeles Rams self defense that has actually quit the third-most WR dream scores every game. If Watson misses opportunity, Wicks may be deemed a premium flex option. Otherwise, Wicks is additional of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was actually a breakout prospect this summer months, but a preseason trauma took the wind out of his sails. He really did not create his regular-season debut up until Week 3, yet his 22.2 dream factors versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 revealed what he can possibly do, specifically with Joe Flacco under center. Downs matched Michael Pittman Jr. for the team top with 9 targets and might have more successful games ahead of time if Flacco begins while Anthony Richardson recovers from the hip accident he suffered Sunday. Downs is strongly on the flex radar for Full week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose self defense has made it possible for the eighth-most WR fantasy points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) as well as Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams with 82 receiving backyards on 4 catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington possessed even more events (6 ). Both Atwell as well as Whittington published solid imagination performances, each scoring 12.2 scores. I favor Atwell, who has actually slashed 12-plus dream ideas in pair of direct games. Nevertheless, both are worth factor in deeper styles and ought to stay involved in the Rams' passing away video game till Cooper Kupp as well as Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Ga Falcons (3.5%): McCloud ought to get on your radar in deeper organizations. He has actually possessed five-plus intendeds as well as 40-plus receiving backyards in 3 of his 4 activities this period. Functioning largely coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons outburst that frequently operates 11 workers. Surprisingly, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta ga recipient when Kirk Cousins is under pressure. Nonetheless, the Falcons rank just 22nd in passing tries every video game, which confines his imagination ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 Just how Sam Darnold has assisted Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks down how Sam Darnold has actually strengthened his and Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has been actually awesome to enjoy. He has actually currently scored 19-plus imagination points in 3 trustworthy activities, yet he is actually surprisingly still offered in lots of games. Darnold is prospering in scalp coach Kevin O'Connell's outrageous program, along with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his best two recipients. He likewise excels under pressure and also when blitzed, which is a useful quality provided the notable increase in stress prices this period. Darnold is on the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in Greater london versus his previous staff, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Specialization possessed a season-high 31.9 imagination factors against the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the 1st gamer in Steelers background to toss for 300 passing backyards, rush for fifty gardens as well as have pair of hurrying scores in a singular game. He has currently scored 18-plus dream ideas in consecutive activities. With the Dallas Cowboys protection managing many personal injuries heading in to Full week 5, Fields could be seen as a high-end QB2. Dallas surrenders the fourth-most QB fantasy points per game, creating this a really positive matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence performed finish with a season-high 14.7 dream factors Sunday against the Houston Texans. In Full week 5, he faces a Indianapolis Colts defense that has enabled merely under 20 fantasy aspects per video game to QBs. This match might be a wonderful chance for him to switch points all around, especially with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk and also Gabe Davis as his best three receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's fantasy functionality Sunday against the Bengals yielded just 15.7 aspects, which had not been as remarkable as his 24.5 points versus the Raiders in Full week 3. Nonetheless, he stays a dependable alternative for dream supervisors managing QB problems, particularly in superflex styles. With upcoming matches versus the Bears, Falcons and also Commanders, Dalton can be considered as a low-end QB2 as managers navigate bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco revealed he still has some magic left, slashing 15.0 fantasy aspects versus the Steelers while filling in for Richardson, who wounded a hip in the initial sector. It was revitalizing to view a Colts quarterback successfully circulate the soccer. As of now, it is actually confusing whether Richardson's accident is severe, but it could be a good idea to certainly not rush him back, given his inconsistency. If Flacco begins in Full week 5 against a Jaguars protection that allows the second-most QB dream points per video game, he might land on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Full week 5 imagination outlookDaniel Dopp and also Stephania Alarm count on Bucky Irving to carry out effectively in Full week 5 even with injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa florida Gulf Buccaneers (51.7%): I know Irving is rostered in just over 50% of leagues, but he should be your leading RB intended if he is actually still offered. Prior to the Week 4 activity versus the Eagles, documents pointed out Irving would certainly get more work-- as well as he performed. Even with a hamstring problem, he had 11 contacts and a season-high 12.5 imagination points. Rachaad White, who possessed gastrointestinal disorder the day just before the activity, dealt with 12 contacts as well as 10.4 imagination points. Go acquire Irving.Braelon Allen, New York Jets (45.4%): Allen led the Sprays in rushing yards on Sunday versus the Broncos. The Jets' RB board appears to be securing up, with Allen ending up the video game along with 9 touches and also 5.1 fantasy aspects, while Breece Hall had 12 styles as well as merely 2.8 aspects. It's likewise worth taking note that Allen is actually acquiring a higher amount of early-down snaps, most likely to aid manage Hall's workload. Irrespective, Allen must be actually rostered everywhere as well as keeps standalone market value. If Venue overlooks at any time, the rookie is going to right away be on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 touches and also 13.1 dream factors Thursday evening against the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both contacts as well as dream factors. The major concern is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn are all obtaining snaps and touches. That mentioned, along with NFL groups balancing 119.7 rushing lawns every video game (the absolute most via Full week 4 this century) and also the created surge rate at 39.8% (the highest possible considering that 2010), landing a starting RB off the waiver cable is actually still a great find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier completed with 10 touches (for the second opportunity this season) and 10.0 fantasy factors against the Saints on Sunday. Until now in 2024, he boasts a greater yards every rush as well as gardens after call every attempt than Bijan Robinson. I'm not saying Allgeier will definitely supplant Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, but it's crystal clear he possesses a duty as well as standalone worth in fantasy. If Robinson misses any time, Allgeier is going to absolutely be on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 fantasy point in times by means of four games, even with possessing fewer contacts than Zamir White. He is actually a much better receiver away from the backfield and more knowledgeable at staying clear of tackles. Mattison ought to have even more touches. In Week 5, the Raiders face a Broncos defense that surrenders the eighth-most RB receptions every video game. This is crucial considering that, while the Broncos rank third in operate deter succeed cost, the Raiders' offensive line ranks final in operate block win rate. Mattison could possibly locate themself intensely targeted against Denver.Kareem Quest, Kansas Area Chiefs (21.4%): Search racked up just 10.5 imagination aspects Sunday versus the Chargers, however he led Kansas Metropolitan area's backfield along with 16 touches. It is actually also worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele shed a fumble early as well as really did not play another piece of cake after that. The Chiefs have among the most explosive offenses, so Quest could be a valuable fantasy option if he tackles more of the passing-game part along with hurrying obligations. He needs to be actually rostered in every leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Container Bigsby is a beneficial addition to imagination teamsEric Moody suggests uncertainty around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why dream managers should add Tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with an outstanding 90 rushing backyards on simply 7 efforts versus the Texans, including a standout 58-yard jog. To put that in perspective, that's greater than the 50 gardens Travis Etienne Jr. gained on his 11 efforts, although Etienne experienced a shoulder personal injury in the first one-fourth. Bigsby has actually looked wonderful this season and, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, head train Doug Pederson's chair is actually getting hotter. Do not be stunned if Bigsby starts getting even more touches versus the Colts in Week 5. Trey Homily, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left Sunday's activity against the Steelers as a result of a second-half ankle joint injury. It is actually a mild ankle joint sprain, yet it is actually unclear if he'll any sort of miss out on opportunity. Taylor has balanced 19.5 contacts per activity this period. If he is out, Homily will certainly enter a vital job behind an offensive line that places second in run block succeed fee. Additionally, in Full week 5, the Colts face a Jaguars protection that has actually given up the fourth-most RB dream points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has actually averaged 9.0 contacts every activity. He is actually a strong pick up in deeper formats given that the Patriots rate 11th in hurrying efforts per game. If Rhamondre Stevenson misses out on opportunity, Gibson could possibly find a significant workload, even though for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Although D'Andre Swift acquired 23 touches and also 29.5 fantasy points versus the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to have actually gotten the change-of-pace role. He posted merely 8.6 dream factors, yet played more snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Field Yates' attentionField Yates reveals exactly how Tucker Kraft's options continue to expand in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Eco-friendly Gulf Packers (4.5%): Kraft set period highs Sunday versus the Vikings along with 9 aims for, 6 celebrations, 53 receiving gardens as well as 17.3 fantasy aspects. Jordan Passion threw the reception 54 opportunities since the Packers were routing all game long, but Kraft's efficiency still signifies effectively for when the Packers possess an additional well balanced attack. Up next in Full week 5, Veggie Gulf encounters the Rams-- a group that has actually surrendered the fourth-most TE imagination aspects per game.Tyler Conklin, New york city Planes (35.7%): The Broncos shut down the Jets' offense Sunday, however Conklin's engagement was an intense location, as he found 8 aim ats. He positions third in courses work on the Jets this time and also plays on a higher percentage of breaks. In Week 5, New York deals with a Vikings defense that has actually enabled the 10th-most total backyards per video game, giving Conklin an odds to keep involved.Cade Otton, Tampa Gulf Buccaneers (6.2%): It has been actually a rough time for cramping ends, along with just 20 touchdowns racked up due to the position-- on speed for the least via Week 4 considering that 1992. One point to keep in mind: Otton has actually scored 17 aim ats over the past pair of video games. He has actually also scored double-digit dream aspects in successive matches. As our team head into the bye full weeks, Otton is actually a sound streaming option for those in need, specifically Thursday evening versus the Falcons.
