The most noteworthy one from Week 4 is Kansas Urban Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, who is feared to have actually torn his appropriate ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a substantial draft for both the Chiefs and also imagination managers alike. By means of the 1st 3 full weeks, Rice led the rank with 24 events and also stood best two in both yards (288) and also targets (32 ). Novice WR Xavier Worthy, that is already rostered in many games, racked up 13.7 dream points Sunday, while expert TE Travis Kelce also boosted in Rice's lack. Having said that, there is actually no crystal clear prospect to pack the openings Rice leaves behind, producing this a complicated turning to predict.It will likely be actually a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN games), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and Mecole Hardman. My informed guess on whom to target for fantasy functions would certainly be actually Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 with 933 lawns on 78 receptions (along with three goals), second merely to Kelce in those categories.Now, let's dive into today's disclaimer cord. Our experts'll begin along with a team of wide receivers who can potentially assist you take care of Rice's absence.Mike Williams had a pretty good Week 4. Will he perform the same in Week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, Nyc Planes (44.2% rostered): The Jets have actually slowly increase Williams' use over the past handful of weeks as he returns coming from in 2015's ACL trauma. He completed with 10.7 imagination aspects versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, publishing a season-high 5 aim ats, 4 functions and 67 acquiring yards. Today is actually a good time to include Williams, but keep in mind he is actually mainly playing in 11 employees. While he costs picking up, you could certainly not intend to start him versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, The Big Apple Giants (27.1%): It is actually shocking that Robinson isn't rostered in even more leagues. Daniel Jones relies intensely on each him as well as Malik Nabers. Robinson has viewed eight-plus intendeds in three out of four video games, along with 2 activities of 12-plus targets. He has actually additionally scored 12-plus dream scores in three of the four activities. He is actually strongly on the flex radar against the Seat Seahawks in Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen went through a hamstring injury in Full week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders as well as was placed on IR. This provided Legette an opportunity to receive more snaps and targets versus the Cincinnati Bengals-- and he took total conveniences. He captured 6 of his 10 targets, scoring 19.6 fantasy aspects. The Panthers' offense seems renewed along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, producing Legette is actually a sound flex alternative in much deeper formats heading into Full week 5 against the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Regard the Commish Championship RingRecognize the commitment and hard-earned authorization of your game's Commish with bling. Use code FOCUS10 for 10% off your order. Shop Right now.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually scored 15-plus imagination aspects as well as observed six-plus aim ats in two straight activities. He has likewise operate the second-most routes on his staff over that stretch. Along with Davante Adams detailed as "week-to-week" as a result of a hamstring trauma, Tucker must proceed playing a vital task in the Raiders' death video game and ought to be actually rostered. The Raiders encounter the Broncos in Week 5, and also with Jakobi Meyers probably busy against Dab Surtain II, Tucker stands to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Eco-friendly Gulf Packers (9.5%): Religious Watson was eliminated as a result of a higher ankle joint sprain in the 2nd one-fourth of Sunday's game against the Vikings. Wicks instantly stepped in as the starting wide receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) as well as hardly left behind the industry. He completed with 13 targets and also 24.8 fantasy factors. It's worth noting that Jayden Reed, who had eight targets as well as 27.1 imagination aspects, largely plays in three-WR collections. In Full week 5, Wicks encounters a Los Angeles Rams protection that has quit the third-most WR dream points per game. If Watson skips time, Wicks may be deemed a high-end flex option. Otherwise, Wicks is actually additional of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was actually a breakout candidate this summer season, but a preseason injury took the wind out of his sails. He really did not make his regular-season launching till Full week 3, yet his 22.2 dream points against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Full week 4 presented what he may do, specifically with Joe Flacco under center. Downs matched Michael Pittman Jr. for the group lead with 9 targets as well as could possibly have much more successful video games ahead of time if Flacco begins while Anthony Richardson recuperates from the hip personal injury he suffered Sunday. Downs is securely on the flex radar for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose protection has enabled 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 with 82 obtaining backyards on four catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington had even more events (6 ). Both Atwell as well as Whittington posted solid imagination functionalities, each scoring 12.2 points. I prefer Atwell, that has slashed 12-plus fantasy points in 2 direct video games. However, both deserve consideration in much deeper formats and also should stay involved in the Rams' passing away video game till Cooper Kupp as well as Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Falcons (3.5%): McCloud must get on your radar in much deeper organizations. He has actually possessed five-plus targets as well as 40-plus receiving yards in three of his four activities this time. Operating mostly coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that often operates 11 staffs. Remarkably, he is actually the second-most-targeted Atlanta receiver when Kirk Cousins is actually under pressure. Nevertheless, the Falcons position simply 22nd in passing tries per activity, which confines his dream ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 How Sam Darnold has actually aided Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates malfunctions just how Sam Darnold has enhanced his and also Justin Jefferson's imagination output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's awakening has actually been breathtaking to view. He has actually now scored 19-plus dream points in three trustworthy activities, yet he's incredibly still on call in many games. Darnold is thriving in scalp instructor Kevin O'Connell's objectionable plan, with Justin Jefferson and also Jordan Addison as his best 2 recipients. He also stands out under the gun as well as when blitzed, which is a valuable characteristic offered the substantial rise in tension prices this season. Darnold gets on the QB1 radar for Week 5 in London versus his previous group, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Area possessed a season-high 31.9 fantasy points versus the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the initial player in Steelers record to toss for 300 passing backyards, rush for fifty backyards and also possess pair of rushing ratings in a singular activity. He has actually now racked up 18-plus fantasy ideas in consecutive activities. With the Dallas Cowboys protection coping with several traumas heading right into Full week 5, Specialization can be viewed as a high-end QB2. Dallas quits the fourth-most QB fantasy points per game, making this a really beneficial matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence performed finish with a season-high 14.7 fantasy factors Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he experiences a Indianapolis Colts protection that has enabled merely under twenty fantasy points every video game to QBs. This competition could be an excellent option for him to switch factors about, specifically along with Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis as his leading three receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's dream performance Sunday versus the Bengals produced merely 15.7 points, which had not been as impressive as his 24.5 points against the Raiders in Full week 3. Nevertheless, he continues to be a dependable option for fantasy supervisors coping with QB concerns, especially in superflex formats. With upcoming competitions against the Bears, Falcons and Commanders, Dalton can be deemed a low-end QB2 as supervisors navigate bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco revealed he still has some magic left, slashing 15.0 fantasy points versus the Steelers while substituting Richardson, that wounded a hip in the 1st part. It was actually refreshing to view a Colts quarterback efficiently circulate the soccer. Already, it is actually confusing whether Richardson's trauma is actually significant, yet it could be smart to not rush him back, given his inconsistency. If Flacco begins in Week 5 versus a Jaguars protection that enables the second-most QB fantasy factors every video game, he might land on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 dream outlookDaniel Dopp and also Stephania Alarm anticipate Bucky Irving to carry out effectively in Week 5 in spite of accident concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa florida Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I know Irving is actually rostered in merely over fifty% of games, yet he should be your top RB aim at if he's still offered. Before the Week 4 video game against the Eagles, files said Irving will get more work-- as well as he carried out. Despite having a hamstring concern, he possessed 11 touches and also a season-high 12.5 fantasy aspects. Rachaad White, that had food poisoning the time before the video game, took care of 12 contacts as well as 10.4 imagination points. Go acquire Irving.Braelon Allen, New York City Squirts (45.4%): Allen led the Jets in rushing lawns on Sunday versus the Broncos. The Jets' RB board seems to be to become tightening up, with Allen ending up the video game along with nine flairs as well as 5.1 fantasy points, while Breece Venue had 12 touches as well as simply 2.8 points. It is actually additionally worth taking note that Allen is actually getting a much higher amount of early-down snaps, most likely to aid deal with Hall's workload. Regardless, Allen must be rostered all over and also keeps standalone market value. If Venue skips whenever, the novice is going to promptly perform 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 fantasy factors. The primary worry is actually that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn are all obtaining snaps as well as contacts. That stated, along with NFL groups averaging 119.7 rushing yards every video game (the absolute most through Week 4 this century) and also the created surge rate at 39.8% (the highest since 2010), landing a beginning RB off the disclaimer wire is still a great find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier completed with 10 touches (for the second time this period) and also 10.0 fantasy points versus the Saints on Sunday. Thus far in 2024, he includes a higher backyards every surge and also lawns after get in touch with every try than Bijan Robinson. I'm certainly not pointing out Allgeier will definitely supplant Robinson in the Falcons' RB committee, however it is actually clear he possesses a role as well as standalone market value in dream. If Robinson misses any time, Allgeier is going to undoubtedly perform the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Las Vegas Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 dream periods through 4 video games, despite having far fewer touches than Zamir White. He is actually a far better receiver out of the backfield as well as additional trained at staying clear of attacks. Mattison deserves more contacts. In Full week 5, the Raiders face a Broncos defense that gives up the eighth-most RB receptions every activity. This is crucial because, while the Broncos place third in operate quit gain fee, the Raiders' annoying line rates last in operate block win cost. Mattison could possibly discover himself intensely targeted versus Denver.Kareem Pursuit, Kansas City Chiefs (21.4%): Pursuit racked up just 10.5 dream points Sunday against the Chargers, yet he led Kansas Area's backfield with 16 touches. It's also worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele lost a fumble early and also didn't play another breeze afterwards. The Chiefs possess one of the absolute most eruptive offenses, so Quest may be a useful dream possibility if he tackles additional of the passing-game job alongside rushing roles. He needs to be actually rostered with all leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Container Bigsby is actually a beneficial add-on to dream teamsEric Moody suggests uncertainty around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why dream managers need to include Container Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars along with an impressive 90 rushing backyards on only 7 tries against the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard jog. To place that in point of view, that is actually more than the 50 yards Travis Etienne Jr. approached his 11 tries, although Etienne went through a shoulder accident in the first quarter. Bigsby has actually appeared great this time and also, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, head train Doug Pederson's seat is receiving hotter. Do not be shocked if Bigsby begins receiving extra touches against the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Lecture, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a second-half ankle joint personal injury. It is actually a moderate ankle joint strain, but it's unclear if he'll any miss opportunity. Taylor has actually averaged 19.5 touches every video game this period. If he is actually out, Lecture will step into an essential part responsible for a repulsive line that positions 2nd in run block succeed cost. Likewise, in Full week 5, the Colts deal with a Jaguars protection that has actually given up the fourth-most RB fantasy points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has averaged 9.0 touches per activity. He's a solid pick up in much deeper formats considering that the Patriots position 11th in hurrying tries per game. If Rhamondre Stevenson overlooks time, Gibson might find a significant work, even though for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Even though D'Andre Swift scored 23 contacts and also 29.5 fantasy aspects against the Rams on Sunday, Johnson appears to have protected the change-of-pace function. He posted just 8.6 imagination aspects, but participated in more breaks than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Area Yates' attentionField Yates details how Tucker Kraft's options remain to expand in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft specified season highs Sunday versus the Vikings with 9 targets, 6 functions, 53 receiving gardens and also 17.3 fantasy factors. Jordan Affection threw the ball 54 times since the Packers were tracking all video game long, but Kraft's efficiency still signifies well for when the Packers have an additional balanced assault. Up next in Full week 5, Environment-friendly Gulf encounters the Rams-- a staff that has actually quit the fourth-most TE imagination points every game.Tyler Conklin, New york city Planes (35.7%): The Broncos turned off the Planes' offense Sunday, however Conklin's participation was actually a vivid spot, as he saw eight aim ats. He ranks 3rd in courses operate on the Planes this period as well as plays on a higher percent of pops. In Full week 5, The big apple deals with a Vikings protection that has actually allowed the 10th-most complete lawns per game, offering Conklin a possibility to remain involved.Cade Otton, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (6.2%): It has been actually a tough season for tight sides, along with only 20 goals counted due to the position-- on rate for the fewest by means of Week 4 due to the fact that 1992. One point to keep in mind: Otton has scored 17 aim ats over the past 2 activities. He has actually also scored double-digit fantasy aspects in successive competitions. As our team move right into the bye weeks, Otton is actually a sound streaming possibility for those in demand, specifically Thursday evening against the Falcons.
