The best notable one from Week 4 is Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is actually worried to have torn his ideal ACL on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a massive blow for both the Chiefs and imagination supervisors identical. Via the very first 3 weeks, Rice led the rank with 24 functions and ranked best pair of in both lawns (288) as well as intendeds (32 ). Newbie WR Xavier Worthy, that is actually presently rostered in the majority of organizations, racked up 13.7 dream factors Sunday, while professional TE Travis Kelce additionally improved in Rice's absence. Nevertheless, there is actually no clear prospect to fill up the openings Rice leaves, producing this a difficult rotation to predict.It are going to likely be a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN games), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and also Mecole Hardman. My enlightened hunch on whom to target for dream purposes would certainly be actually Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 along with 933 backyards on 78 celebrations (along with three touchdowns), 2nd merely to Kelce in those categories.Now, allow's study recently's waiver cable. Our experts'll start along with a group of wide receivers who may likely aid you handle Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a pretty good Full week 4. Will he do the very same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, The Big Apple Planes (44.2% rostered): The Jets have actually little by little ramped up Williams' utilization over the past few full weeks as he returns coming from in 2014's ACL personal injury. He completed with 10.7 dream aspects against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, submitting a season-high 5 intendeds, 4 celebrations and also 67 obtaining gardens. Today is a fun time to add Williams, yet consider he's largely playing in 11 employees. While he costs getting, you could not want to start him against the Minnesota Vikings in Full Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, New York City Giants (27.1%): It is actually unexpected that Robinson isn't rostered in additional organizations. Daniel Jones counts intensely on both him and also Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually observed eight-plus targets in 3 out of 4 games, with pair of games of 12-plus aim ats. He has also scored 12-plus fantasy points in 3 of the 4 games. He is actually strongly on the flex radar against the Seattle Seahawks in Full Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen went through a hamstring personal injury in Full week 3 versus the Sin City Raiders and also was put on IR. This offered Legette an opportunity to obtain even more snaps as well as targets versus the Cincinnati Bengals-- as well as he took complete benefit. He recorded 6 of his 10 intendeds, scoring 19.6 fantasy aspects. The Panthers' offense seems renewed along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, helping make Legette is a sound flex alternative in deeper layouts heading right into Full week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Appreciation the Commish Championship RingRecognize the devotion and also hard-earned authorization of your league's Commish with bling. Usage code FOCUS10 for 10% off your purchase. Store Right now.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually scored 15-plus imagination points and found six-plus aim ats in 2 straight activities. He possesses additionally run the second-most options on his group over that stretch. Along with Davante Adams listed as "week-to-week" as a result of a hamstring personal injury, Tucker should proceed playing a key job in the Raiders' passing away video game and also must be actually rostered. The Raiders face the Broncos in Full week 5, as well as with Jakobi Meyers probably active against Dab Surtain II, Tucker remains to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Green Gulf Packers (9.5%): Religious Watson was dismissed because of a higher ankle sprain in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Vikings. Wicks instantly intervened as the beginning pass receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) as well as seldom left the field. He do with thirteen aims for as well as 24.8 imagination points. It deserves noting that Jayden Splint, that possessed eight aims for and also 27.1 imagination aspects, mainly plays in three-WR sets. In Full week 5, Wicks deals with a Los Angeles Rams self defense that has lost hope the third-most WR fantasy scores per video game. If Watson skips time, Wicks may be deemed a high-end flex possibility. Otherwise, Wicks is actually additional of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was a breakout candidate this summer season, however a preseason trauma took the wind out of his sails. He didn't make his regular-season debut till Week 3, however his 22.2 dream points versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Full week 4 showed what he can possibly do, particularly with Joe Flacco under center. Downs matched Michael Pittman Jr. for the group lead with nine intendeds as well as can have a lot more productive activities in advance if Flacco begins while Anthony Richardson recuperates from the hip accident he suffered Sunday. Downs is actually firmly on the flex radar for Week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense has permitted the eighth-most WR dream points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) and also Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams with 82 obtaining yards on 4 catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington had extra receptions (6 ). Both Atwell as well as Whittington posted sound dream efficiencies, each slashing 12.2 scores. I prefer Atwell, that has slashed 12-plus fantasy points in 2 straight games. Nonetheless, each deserve point to consider in deeper layouts and ought to stay associated with the Rams' passing away activity till Cooper Kupp and also Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Falcons (3.5%): McCloud needs to get on your radar in much deeper leagues. He has had five-plus intendeds as well as 40-plus obtaining gardens in 3 of his 4 activities this time. Running predominantly coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that frequently runs 11 staffs. Interestingly, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta recipient when Kirk Cousins is struggling. Nevertheless, the Falcons rate simply 22nd in passing attempts every activity, which restricts his dream ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 How Sam Darnold has aided Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates malfunctions exactly how Sam Darnold has actually boosted his as well as Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's awakening has been gorgeous to enjoy. He has actually now scored 19-plus fantasy aspects in 3 straight games, as yet he's amazingly still on call in a lot of organizations. Darnold is thriving in scalp train Kevin O'Connell's repulsive program, with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his top two recipients. He also excels under the gun as well as when blitzed, which is a valuable characteristic offered the substantial rise in pressure fees this period. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in Greater london versus his former group, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Fields possessed a season-high 31.9 imagination aspects versus the Colts on Sunday. He came to be the 1st player in Steelers past history to toss for 300 passing gardens, thrill for fifty lawns as well as have 2 rushing scores in a singular game. He has actually right now racked up 18-plus imagination points in successive activities. Along With the Dallas Cowboys protection taking care of several accidents heading into Week 5, Fields can be considered a high-end QB2. Dallas gives up the fourth-most QB imagination aspects every video game, making this a quite favorable matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence carried out finish with a season-high 14.7 fantasy points Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he faces a Indianapolis Colts defense that has made it possible for only under 20 dream aspects per activity to QBs. This matchup can be a terrific opportunity for him to switch traits all around, specifically 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 versus the Bengals generated simply 15.7 factors, which wasn't as impressive as his 24.5 aspects versus the Raiders in Week 3. Having said that, he stays a reputable possibility for imagination managers handling QB concerns, especially in superflex layouts. With upcoming matches versus the Bears, Falcons and Commanders, Dalton may be considered as 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 against the Steelers while substituting Richardson, that harmed a hip in the initial part. It was actually revitalizing to find a Colts quarterback efficiently circulate the football. As of now, it's confusing whether Richardson's accident is actually significant, but it may be smart to not hurry him back, offered his incongruity. If Flacco begins in Full week 5 against a Jaguars self defense that allows the second-most QB imagination factors every game, he could come down on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Full week 5 dream outlookDaniel Dopp and Stephania Alarm anticipate Bucky Irving to do well in Full week 5 regardless of personal injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I recognize Irving is rostered in merely over fifty% of games, yet he should be your leading RB aim at if he is actually still offered. Just before the Full week 4 game against the Eagles, records stated Irving would get even more job-- as well as he performed. Despite having a hamstring problem, he had 11 contacts and a season-high 12.5 imagination aspects. Rachaad White, that possessed gastrointestinal disorder the time just before the video game, handled 12 contacts as well as 10.4 dream aspects. Go get Irving.Braelon Allen, New York Jets (45.4%): Allen led the Jets in rushing backyards on Sunday against the Broncos. The Jets' RB board seems to be tightening up, along with Allen finishing the activity with nine touches as well as 5.1 imagination factors, while Breece Hall had 12 styles and only 2.8 aspects. It is actually additionally worth taking note that Allen is obtaining a greater portion of early-down snaps, most likely to help handle Venue's amount of work. Regardless, Allen must be actually rostered everywhere and keeps standalone value. If Venue misses out on at any time, the newbie is going to right away perform the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 contacts and also 13.1 dream factors Thursday evening against the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both contacts and also fantasy factors. The principal issue is actually that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and also Deuce Vaughn are actually all obtaining snaps and also contacts. That mentioned, with NFL teams balancing 119.7 hurrying yards every activity (the absolute most by means of Full week 4 this century) and also the made rush fee at 39.8% (the highest possible because 2010), landing a starting RB off the disclaimer cable is actually still an excellent find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier do with 10 flairs (for the second time this time) and 10.0 imagination factors against the Saints on Sunday. Until now in 2024, he includes a greater lawns per surge as well as yards after call per attempt than Bijan Robinson. I'm certainly not stating Allgeier will certainly supplant Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, yet it's crystal clear he possesses a job as well as standalone market value in dream. If Robinson misses out on whenever, Allgeier will most definitely get on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 fantasy instances via 4 video games, even with having fewer contacts than Zamir White. He's a far better recipient out of the backfield as well as even more competent at staying clear of attacks. Mattison ought to have even more touches. In Week 5, the Raiders face a Broncos self defense that loses hope the eighth-most RB receptions per video game. This is vital because, while the Broncos rank 3rd in operate deter win cost, the Raiders' annoying line places final in operate block win cost. Mattison could find themself greatly targeted versus Denver.Kareem Pursuit, Kansas Metropolitan Area Chiefs (21.4%): Hunt scored just 10.5 dream factors Sunday versus the Chargers, however he led Kansas City's backfield with 16 contacts. It is actually additionally worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele lost a fumble early and failed to participate in yet another snap after that. The Chiefs have among the best eruptive offenses, so Search could be a valuable dream possibility if he takes on even more of the passing-game part together with hurrying responsibilities. He needs to be rostered in all leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Tank Bigsby is an important add-on to dream teamsEric Moody indicates uncertainty around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why dream supervisors should include Tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with an excellent 90 rushing yards on simply seven attempts versus the Texans, consisting of a standout 58-yard run. To put that in point of view, that's more than the 50 gardens Travis Etienne Jr. approached his 11 tries, although Etienne endured a shoulder accident in the initial one-fourth. Bigsby has appeared terrific this time and, with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, scalp trainer Doug Pederson's seat is acquiring hotter. Don't be actually startled if Bigsby starts receiving a lot more contacts versus the Colts in Week 5. Trey Sermon, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's game against the Steelers as a result of a second-half ankle joint injury. It is actually a moderate ankle strain, however it is actually confusing if he'll any type of miss out on time. Taylor has actually averaged 19.5 contacts every video game this time. If he is actually out, Sermon will definitely enter a vital role responsible for a repulsive line that rates second in operate block succeed price. Also, in Week 5, the Colts experience a Jaguars defense that has surrendered the fourth-most RB dream points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has actually averaged 9.0 contacts every activity. He's a solid pick-up in deeper layouts given that the Patriots rate 11th in rushing tries every activity. If Rhamondre Stevenson overlooks opportunity, Gibson could possibly view a significant amount of work, regardless of whether for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Despite The Fact That D'Andre Swift scored 23 contacts and also 29.5 fantasy factors versus the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to be to have gotten the change-of-pace job. He submitted simply 8.6 imagination factors, yet participated in even more snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Area Yates' attentionField Yates discusses how Tucker Kraft's opportunities continue to develop in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Eco-friendly Gulf Packers (4.5%): Kraft established season highs Sunday versus the Vikings along with 9 aims for, 6 events, 53 acquiring gardens and also 17.3 imagination points. Jordan Passion threw the reception 54 times since the Packers were routing all activity long, however Kraft's performance still forebodes well for when the Packers possess a more balanced attack. Up next in Week 5, Eco-friendly Bay experiences the Rams-- a crew that has actually quit the fourth-most TE fantasy aspects every game.Tyler Conklin, New York Jets (35.7%): The Broncos turned off the Jets' affront Sunday, however Conklin's involvement was an intense area, as he observed 8 aim ats. He places 3rd in paths run on the Planes this time and also uses a higher portion of breaks. In Week 5, New york city deals with a Vikings self defense that has enabled the 10th-most total gardens per game, providing Conklin a chance to remain involved.Cade Otton, Tampa bay Bay Buccaneers (6.2%): It has been a tough period for cramping ends, along with merely twenty goals scored by the placement-- on pace for the fewest via Full week 4 given that 1992. The main thing to keep in mind: Otton has acquired 17 intendeds over the past pair of activities. He has actually additionally composed double-digit imagination points in successive matchups. As our company head right into the bye full weeks, Otton is actually a strong streaming possibility for those in demand, particularly Thursday evening versus the Falcons.
