The most notable one from Week 4 is Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is worried to have actually torn his ideal ACL on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a massive blow for both the Chiefs as well as imagination supervisors as well. Through the 1st 3 full weeks, Rice led the category with 24 receptions as well as ranked top 2 in both yards (288) as well as targets (32 ). Novice WR Xavier Worthy, who is currently rostered in a lot of games, racked up 13.7 imagination aspects Sunday, while expert TE Travis Kelce likewise stepped up in Rice's lack. However, there is actually no very clear applicant to fill up the vacancy Rice leaves, creating this a complicated rotation to predict.It will likely be a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN organizations), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and also Mecole Hardman. My educated guess on whom to target for imagination reasons would be actually Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs recipients in 2022 along with 933 yards on 78 receptions (along with 3 goals), second merely to Kelce in those categories.Now, allow's study recently's waiver cable. Our experts'll begin along with a team of pass receivers that can possibly help you deal with Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a decent Full week 4. Will he carry out the exact same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, Nyc Planes (44.2% rostered): The Planes have actually little by little ramped up Williams' use over the past handful of weeks as he returns from last year's ACL injury. He finished with 10.7 fantasy aspects versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, submitting a season-high 5 aim ats, 4 events and also 67 acquiring yards. Now is actually a good time to add Williams, but consider he is actually mostly playing in 11 workers. While he's worth grabbing, you could not wish 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 even more organizations. Daniel Jones relies intensely on both him and Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually found eight-plus intendeds in 3 out of 4 video games, along with two activities of 12-plus aim ats. He has additionally slashed 12-plus fantasy points in 3 of the 4 activities. He's securely on the flex radar against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen experienced a hamstring injury in Full week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders as well as was placed on IR. This provided Legette an odds to acquire even more snaps as well as targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- as well as he took total advantage. He captured 6 of his 10 targets, racking up 19.6 dream factors. The Panthers' outburst looks to be refreshed along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, helping make Legette is actually a sound flex option in deeper styles heading right into Full week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Respect the Commish Champion RingRecognize the commitment as well as hard-earned authorization of your organization's Commish along with bling. Make use of code FOCUS10 for 10% off your order. Store Currently.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually slashed 15-plus imagination aspects and also seen six-plus aim ats in 2 direct activities. He has likewise manage the second-most routes on his group over that period. Along with Davante Adams specified as "week-to-week" due to a hamstring trauma, Tucker should continue participating in an essential task in the Raiders' death video game and also must be actually rostered. The Raiders encounter the Broncos in Week 5, and also with Jakobi Meyers very likely active against Pat Surtain II, Tucker remains to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Environment-friendly Gulf Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was actually dismissed because of a higher ankle sprain in the 2nd one-fourth of Sunday's activity against the Vikings. Wicks immediately came in as the beginning wide receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and hardly ever left behind the area. He do with thirteen aims for and 24.8 imagination factors. It's worth noting that Jayden Reed, who had eight targets as well as 27.1 imagination points, mainly plays in three-WR collections. In Week 5, Wicks faces a Los Angeles Rams self defense that has actually quit the third-most WR dream points every video game. If Watson misses out on time, Wicks could be deemed a high-end flex choice. If not, Wicks is actually more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was actually a breakout applicant this summertime, yet a preseason accident took the wind out of his sails. He failed to make his regular-season launching until Full week 3, yet his 22.2 fantasy aspects versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 showed what he can possibly do, particularly with Joe Flacco under center. Downs tied Michael Pittman Jr. for the team lead along with 9 aim ats and also can have even more efficient activities in advance if Flacco starts while Anthony Richardson recovers from the hip injury he went through Sunday. Downs is strongly on the flex radar for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose self defense has permitted the eighth-most WR dream points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) and Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams along with 82 acquiring yards on 4 catches versus the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington possessed much more receptions (6 ). Both Atwell and also Whittington posted sound dream functionalities, each scoring 12.2 points. I prefer Atwell, who has actually scored 12-plus dream ideas in 2 direct games. Having said that, both cost factor to consider in much deeper layouts and should remain associated with the Rams' death activity until Cooper Kupp as well as Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Falcons (3.5%): McCloud needs to perform your radar in much deeper leagues. He has actually possessed five-plus aim ats as well as 40-plus acquiring yards in 3 of his four video games this period. Running primarily from the port, he plays in a Falcons outburst that often manages 11 personnel. Remarkably, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta ga recipient when Kirk Cousins is actually under pressure. However, the Falcons rate only 22nd in passing tries per video game, which restricts his dream ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 Just how Sam Darnold has helped Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks how Sam Darnold has actually boosted his and also Justin Jefferson's imagination output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has been awesome to view. He has actually right now racked up 19-plus dream aspects in three straight games, yet he is actually incredibly still on call in many games. Darnold is actually prospering in scalp train Kevin O'Connell's offensive system, with Justin Jefferson and also Jordan Addison as his leading two receivers. He also excels under pressure and also when blitzed, which is actually a valuable characteristic provided the substantial boost in tension fees this period. Darnold gets on the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in London against his previous group, the Jets.Justin Area, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Specialization had a season-high 31.9 dream aspects against the Colts on Sunday. He came to be the first gamer in Steelers record to toss for 300 passing gardens, rush for 50 yards as well as possess 2 hurrying scores in a single activity. He has now scored 18-plus imagination ideas in successive games. With the Dallas Cowboys defense taking care of many personal injuries heading into Full week 5, Fields can be considered a premium QB2. Dallas loses hope the fourth-most QB fantasy factors every game, making this a very ideal matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence carried out do with a season-high 14.7 dream points Sunday against the Houston Texans. In Full week 5, he deals with a Indianapolis Colts defense that has actually allowed merely under 20 dream factors per game to QBs. This competition can be a great possibility for him to transform points about, especially along with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk and also Gabe Davis as his leading three receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's dream efficiency Sunday against the Bengals yielded simply 15.7 points, which wasn't as excellent as his 24.5 points against the Raiders in Full week 3. Nonetheless, he continues to be a trustworthy alternative for fantasy managers coping with QB concerns, particularly in superflex formats. With upcoming matchups versus the Bears, Falcons and 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 possesses some magic left, slashing 15.0 dream factors against the Steelers while filling in for Richardson, who wounded a hip in the initial quarter. It was actually refreshing to view a Colts quarterback effectively disperse the regulation football. Currently, it's vague whether Richardson's trauma is significant, yet it could be important to certainly not rush him back, given his incongruity. If Flacco starts in Week 5 against a Jaguars defense that allows the second-most QB fantasy factors every activity, he might land on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Full week 5 dream outlookDaniel Dopp and also Stephania Alarm expect Bucky Irving to carry out effectively in Full week 5 despite injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I know Irving is rostered in simply over fifty% of organizations, yet he must be your best RB intended if he is actually still readily available. Before the Full week 4 video game versus the Eagles, reports mentioned Irving would certainly acquire even more job-- and he performed. Despite a hamstring concern, he had 11 touches and also a season-high 12.5 imagination points. Rachaad White, that had gastrointestinal disorder the time just before the video game, handled 12 contacts as well as 10.4 imagination aspects. Go get Irving.Braelon Allen, The Big Apple Spurts (45.4%): Allen led the Spurts in rushing lawns on Sunday versus the Broncos. The Planes' RB committee seems to be to be tightening up, along with Allen finishing the activity along with nine flairs as well as 5.1 fantasy factors, while Breece Venue possessed 12 flairs and simply 2.8 points. It's additionally worth keeping in mind that Allen is receiving a greater percentage of early-down snaps, most likely to aid take care of Venue's workload. Regardless, Allen should be actually rostered almost everywhere and also holds standalone worth. If Venue misses at any time, the newbie is going to promptly perform 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 dream points. The primary issue is actually that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn are all acquiring snaps and also contacts. That claimed, along with NFL crews balancing 119.7 hurrying lawns every game (one of the most via Full week 4 this century) and also the created rush fee at 39.8% (the best given that 2010), landing a starting RB off the waiver cord is still a great find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Ga Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier do with 10 flairs (for the second time this period) and also 10.0 dream factors versus the Saints on Sunday. Thus far in 2024, he includes a much higher gardens per thrill and also lawns after call every attempt than Bijan Robinson. I'm not claiming Allgeier will certainly supersede Robinson in the Falcons' RB committee, however it is actually crystal clear he has a job and standalone value in dream. If Robinson overlooks whenever, Allgeier is going to definitely perform the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield along with 41.6 dream instances by means of 4 games, in spite of having fewer contacts than Zamir White. He is actually a better recipient away from the backfield and more skilled at preventing tackles. Mattison is entitled to much more touches. In Week 5, the Raiders encounter a Broncos self defense that quits the eighth-most RB receptions every game. This is actually crucial because, while the Broncos rank third in operate stop gain rate, the Raiders' offending line rates last in operate block gain fee. Mattison can find himself heavily targeted versus Denver.Kareem Pursuit, Kansas Area Chiefs (21.4%): Hunt racked up merely 10.5 imagination factors Sunday against the Chargers, yet he led Kansas Area's backfield along with 16 contacts. It's also worth noting that Carson Steele lost a fumble early as well as really did not play yet another breeze afterwards. The Chiefs possess some of the absolute most explosive offenses, thus Search might be an important dream option if he takes on even more of the passing-game job along with rushing roles. He ought to be rostered in every leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Container Bigsby is an important add-on to dream teamsEric Moody leads to unpredictability around Travis Etienne's shoulder as to why imagination supervisors ought to incorporate Container Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with an impressive 90 hurrying yards on just 7 tries versus the Texans, including a standout 58-yard run. To place that in viewpoint, that is actually greater than the fifty gardens Travis Etienne Jr. overtook his 11 attempts, although Etienne went through a shoulder accident in the initial quarter. Bigsby has looked terrific this time and, along with the Jaguars sitting at 0-4, head trainer Doug Pederson's chair is receiving hotter. Do not be amazed if Bigsby begins acquiring much more touches versus the Colts in Week 5. Trey Homily, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's game versus the Steelers due to a second-half ankle personal injury. It is a mild ankle strain, yet it is actually not clear if he'll any miss out on opportunity. Taylor has averaged 19.5 contacts every video game this time. If he is out, Preaching will certainly step into an essential duty behind an outrageous line that ranks 2nd in operate block win cost. Also, in Week 5, the Colts encounter a Jaguars protection that has actually lost hope the fourth-most RB imagination points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has balanced 9.0 contacts every video game. He is actually a solid pick-up in much deeper styles because the Patriots place 11th in hurrying tries per activity. If Rhamondre Stevenson skips opportunity, Gibson might view a significant work, even though for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Even though D'Andre Swift scored 23 touches and also 29.5 imagination factors against the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to be to have safeguarded the change-of-pace part. He published only 8.6 dream points, however played additional pops than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Field Yates' attentionField Yates discusses how Tucker Kraft's options remain to expand in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Veggie Gulf Packers (4.5%): Kraft prepared season highs Sunday against the Vikings along with 9 targets, 6 receptions, 53 getting gardens and also 17.3 imagination points. Jordan Passion threw the reception 54 times due to the fact that the Packers were routing all activity long, but Kraft's efficiency still signifies well for when the Packers have an even more well balanced strike. Up upcoming in Week 5, Green Gulf faces the Rams-- a staff that has lost hope the fourth-most TE fantasy aspects per game.Tyler Conklin, The big apple Planes (35.7%): The Broncos stopped the Planes' injustice Sunday, yet Conklin's participation was a bright area, as he observed eight aim ats. He rates third in routes run on the Jets this time and also uses a high amount of snaps. In Week 5, New york city experiences a Vikings self defense that has actually enabled the 10th-most overall gardens per video game, offering Conklin an odds to stay involved.Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been actually a harsh period for tight sides, with merely twenty goals scored by the setting-- on pace for the least with Full week 4 considering that 1992. Something to details: Otton has actually scored 17 aim ats over the past 2 activities. He has likewise composed double-digit dream points in successive matches. As our experts move into the bye weeks, Otton is a solid streaming option for those in necessity, particularly Thursday evening versus the Falcons.
