The most notable one coming from Week 4 is actually Kansas Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is feared to have torn his best ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a big blow for both the Chiefs and also fantasy managers alike. Via the first 3 full weeks, Rice led the league with 24 functions as well as ranked best pair of in both yards (288) as well as targets (32 ). Novice WR Xavier Worthy, that is currently rostered in many games, scored 13.7 dream factors Sunday, while pro TE Travis Kelce additionally stepped up in Rice's lack. Nonetheless, there's no clear applicant to pack the openings Rice leaves behind, creating this a tricky rotation to predict.It will likely be a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN games), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and Mecole Hardman. My enlightened hunch on whom to target for fantasy reasons will be Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 along with 933 lawns on 78 events (with three touchdowns), 2nd simply to Kelce in those categories.Now, allow's dive into today's disclaimer wire. Our team'll start with a team of pass receivers who may possibly help you manage Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a decent Week 4. Will he do the same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York Planes (44.2% rostered): The Jets have slowly increase Williams' use over the past couple of weeks as he returns from in 2015's ACL trauma. He do with 10.7 fantasy factors versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, uploading a season-high 5 targets, 4 events and also 67 receiving backyards. Right now is a good time to add Williams, however keep in mind he is actually predominantly playing in 11 workers. While he deserves picking up, you may certainly not want to begin him versus the Minnesota Vikings in Full Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, The Big Apple Giants (27.1%): It's unexpected that Robinson isn't rostered in additional leagues. Daniel Jones counts highly on both him as well as Malik Nabers. Robinson has viewed eight-plus aim ats in 3 away from 4 video games, along with pair of video games of 12-plus targets. He has likewise scored 12-plus imagination scores in 3 of the 4 activities. He is actually firmly on the flex radar against the Seattle Seahawks in Full Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen experienced a hamstring accident in Week 3 versus the Las Vegas Raiders and also was placed on IR. This provided Legette an odds to acquire more snaps and targets versus the Cincinnati Bengals-- as well as he took full conveniences. He recorded six of his 10 targets, scoring 19.6 dream points. The Panthers' outburst looks to be refreshed with Andy Dalton at quarterback, making Legette is actually a strong flex possibility in much deeper layouts heading into Full week 5 against the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Regard the Commish Championship RingRecognize the commitment and also hard-earned authority of your league's Commish with bling. Use code FOCUS10 for 10% off your order. Shop Right now.Tre Tucker, Sin City Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually slashed 15-plus fantasy aspects and viewed six-plus aim ats in two straight games. He has likewise run the second-most courses on his crew over that stretch. With Davante Adams noted as "week-to-week" because of a hamstring injury, Tucker must proceed playing a crucial function in the Raiders' passing video game and also must be rostered. The Raiders deal with the Broncos in Week 5, and with Jakobi Meyers probably active against Dab Surtain II, Tucker remains to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Veggie Bay Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was actually ruled out because of a higher ankle strain in the second quarter of Sunday's video game versus the Vikings. Wicks instantly actioned in as the beginning pass receiver opposite Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and rarely left behind the industry. He do with 13 aims for as well as 24.8 imagination aspects. It costs keeping in mind that Jayden Splint, who had 8 aims for and also 27.1 imagination factors, predominantly plays in three-WR collections. In Week 5, Wicks deals with a Los Angeles Rams protection that has given up the third-most WR dream points every video game. If Watson overlooks opportunity, Wicks can be considered as a high-end flex choice. Or even, Wicks is additional of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was actually a breakout candidate this summertime, however a preseason trauma took the wind out of his sails. He failed to make his regular-season launching till Full week 3, however his 22.2 dream aspects versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Full week 4 showed what he may do, specifically with Joe Flacco under center. Downs matched Michael Pittman Jr. for the crew top along with nine aim ats as well as might possess extra successful video games ahead if Flacco begins while Anthony Richardson recoups from the hip injury he experienced Sunday. Downs is actually firmly on the flex radar for Full week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense has made it possible for the eighth-most WR imagination points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) and also Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams along with 82 acquiring lawns on four catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington possessed even more celebrations (6 ). Each Atwell and Whittington posted solid imagination functionalities, each scoring 12.2 scores. I favor Atwell, that has actually slashed 12-plus imagination points in 2 direct games. However, both cost point to consider in deeper formats and also should stay associated with the Rams' passing game until Cooper Kupp as well as Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Ga Falcons (3.5%): McCloud should perform your radar in much deeper games. He has actually possessed five-plus intendeds and also 40-plus getting gardens in 3 of his four activities this period. Functioning primarily from the port, he plays in a Falcons outburst that regularly manages 11 employees. Fascinatingly, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta georgia recipient when Kirk Cousins is actually under pressure. Having said that, the Falcons position simply 22nd in passing efforts every activity, which confines his dream ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 How Sam Darnold has assisted Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates malfunctions how Sam Darnold has enhanced his as well as Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's awakening has actually been spectacular to view. He has actually now racked up 19-plus dream aspects in three forthright games, as yet he is actually shockingly still readily available in a lot of leagues. Darnold is thriving in head train Kevin O'Connell's annoying scheme, along with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his best pair of recipients. He also succeeds under pressure as well as when blitzed, which is actually a beneficial trait provided the significant rise in tension prices this season. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Week 5 in Greater london versus his former staff, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Area had a season-high 31.9 fantasy aspects versus the Colts on Sunday. He became the initial player in Steelers past to throw for 300 passing gardens, rush for fifty backyards and possess two rushing scores in a solitary video game. He has actually currently scored 18-plus imagination points in consecutive activities. With the Dallas Cowboys defense coping with several personal injuries moving in to Full week 5, Area can be viewed as a high-end QB2. Dallas loses hope the fourth-most QB dream factors every activity, making this a very favorable matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence did finish with a season-high 14.7 fantasy aspects Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Full week 5, he experiences a Indianapolis Colts protection that has made it possible for merely under 20 imagination factors every video game to QBs. This matchup might be a fantastic option for him to transform things around, specifically along with Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis as his best 3 receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's dream functionality Sunday against the Bengals yielded simply 15.7 factors, which had not been as remarkable as his 24.5 aspects against the Raiders in Full week 3. Nonetheless, he remains a reliable alternative for fantasy managers dealing with QB issues, especially in superflex styles. Along with upcoming matchups versus the Bears, Falcons and also Commanders, Dalton can be considered as a low-end QB2 as supervisors navigate bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco presented he still has some magic left, scoring 15.0 imagination points versus the Steelers while substituting Richardson, who injured or hurt a hip in the 1st region. It was actually freshening to view a Colts quarterback properly distribute the football. As of now, it is actually uncertain whether Richardson's trauma is significant, yet it might be wise to not rush him back, given his incongruity. If Flacco starts in Week 5 versus a Jaguars protection that permits the second-most QB imagination aspects per video game, he might arrive on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Full week 5 imagination outlookDaniel Dopp and Stephania Bell expect Bucky Irving to accomplish effectively in Full week 5 in spite of accident concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa florida Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I know Irving is rostered in just over fifty% of organizations, however he needs to be your best RB intended if he is actually still accessible. Prior to the Week 4 activity versus the Eagles, records said Irving would obtain more work-- and he performed. Even with a hamstring problem, he had 11 contacts and a season-high 12.5 imagination points. Rachaad White, that possessed gastrointestinal disorder the time prior to the activity, managed 12 contacts and 10.4 dream factors. Go get Irving.Braelon Allen, Nyc Squirts (45.4%): Allen led the Squirts in rushing lawns on Sunday versus the Broncos. The Jets' RB board appears to be securing up, with Allen ending up the video game along with 9 flairs and also 5.1 dream factors, while Breece Venue had 12 flairs as well as just 2.8 factors. It's additionally worth taking note that Allen is obtaining a greater portion of early-down snaps, probably to help manage Hall's amount of work. Irrespective, Allen must be rostered almost everywhere as well as holds standalone market value. If Hall overlooks whenever, the newbie will instantly be on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle possessed a season-high 12 contacts and also 13.1 fantasy aspects Thursday night versus the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both contacts and fantasy factors. The main issue is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and also Deuce Vaughn are actually all getting snaps and touches. That mentioned, along with NFL groups balancing 119.7 rushing lawns per video game (the absolute most through Full week 4 this century) and also the developed thrill cost at 39.8% (the greatest considering that 2010), landing a beginning RB off the disclaimer wire is actually still a wonderful find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Ga Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier finished with 10 flairs (for the second time this period) as well as 10.0 fantasy aspects against the Saints on Sunday. Up until now in 2024, he includes a greater lawns per thrill as well as lawns after get in touch with per try than Bijan Robinson. I'm not stating Allgeier will definitely supplant Robinson in the Falcons' RB committee, however it's crystal clear he possesses a task and standalone worth in dream. If Robinson overlooks at any time, Allgeier is going to definitely get on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 fantasy point in times through 4 games, despite possessing less contacts than Zamir White. He's a much better receiver away from the backfield as well as even more competent at avoiding attacks. Mattison deserves a lot more contacts. In Full week 5, the Raiders experience a Broncos defense that gives up the eighth-most RB receptions per video game. This is actually crucial due to the fact that, while the Broncos rank 3rd in run quit succeed cost, the Raiders' objectionable line positions final in operate block gain rate. Mattison could possibly discover himself intensely targeted versus Denver.Kareem Pursuit, Kansas Urban Area Chiefs (21.4%): Hunt scored simply 10.5 fantasy points 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 shed a fumble early and also failed to participate in yet another piece of cake after that. The Chiefs have one of the best explosive offenses, so Pursuit might be an important imagination alternative if he takes on even more of the passing-game duty together with rushing roles. He ought to be rostered with all leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Tank Bigsby is a useful add-on to dream teamsEric Moody indicates anxiety around Travis Etienne's shoulder in order to why fantasy supervisors must add Storage tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with an impressive 90 hurrying backyards on simply 7 efforts against the Texans, including a standout 58-yard jog. To place that in standpoint, that is actually greater than the fifty gardens Travis Etienne Jr. gained on his 11 tries, although Etienne suffered a shoulder injury in the 1st fourth. Bigsby has looked fantastic this season and also, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, scalp trainer Doug Pederson's chair is getting hotter. Do not be shocked if Bigsby starts getting a lot more touches against the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Sermon, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left Sunday's activity against the Steelers because of a second-half ankle joint accident. It is actually a moderate ankle strain, however it is actually not clear if he'll any miss time. Taylor has actually averaged 19.5 contacts per game this time. If he is out, Preaching will definitely step into a key job behind an offending line that rates second in operate block succeed cost. Also, in Week 5, the Colts experience a Jaguars self defense that has lost hope the fourth-most RB dream points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has averaged 9.0 touches every game. He's a sound pick up in much deeper layouts because the Patriots rank 11th in hurrying efforts per activity. If Rhamondre Stevenson overlooks time, Gibson could observe a huge amount of work, regardless of whether for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Despite The Fact That D'Andre Swift acquired 23 contacts and also 29.5 dream factors against the Rams on Sunday, Johnson appears to have actually secured the change-of-pace function. He submitted simply 8.6 dream factors, yet participated in additional snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Area Yates' attentionField Yates reveals exactly how Tucker Kraft's possibilities continue to develop in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Eco-friendly Gulf Packers (4.5%): Kraft specified time highs Sunday versus the Vikings with 9 targets, 6 receptions, 53 getting yards and 17.3 imagination aspects. Jordan Love threw the ball 54 times due to the fact that the Packers were trailing all game long, yet Kraft's performance still bodes well for when the Packers possess an even more balanced attack. Up following in Full week 5, Veggie Bay encounters the Rams-- a crew that has given up the fourth-most TE dream points every game.Tyler Conklin, New York Jets (35.7%): The Broncos stopped the Planes' injustice Sunday, however Conklin's engagement was actually a bright spot, as he viewed 8 intendeds. He positions third in routes operate on the Jets this period and also plays on a high percent of pops. In Week 5, New York faces a Vikings defense that has actually permitted the 10th-most overall backyards per game, providing Conklin a possibility to keep involved.Cade Otton, Tampa florida Gulf Buccaneers (6.2%): It has been actually a rugged time for cramping ends, along with merely 20 goals counted by the setting-- on rate for the fewest through Full week 4 considering that 1992. The main thing to details: Otton has racked up 17 aim ats over the past two games. He has also scored double-digit imagination aspects in consecutive matches. As our experts head in to the bye weeks, Otton is a sound streaming choice for those in need, especially Thursday evening versus the Falcons.
