The absolute most noteworthy one from Week 4 is Kansas Urban Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is dreaded to have torn his best ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It's a big blow for both the Chiefs and imagination supervisors as well. Through the very first 3 weeks, Rice led the circle along with 24 celebrations and also ranked leading pair of in both backyards (288) as well as intendeds (32 ). Novice WR Xavier Worthy, that is already rostered in a lot of organizations, scored 13.7 dream factors Sunday, while professional TE Travis Kelce additionally improved in Rice's lack. Nevertheless, there is actually no clear prospect to load the vacancy Rice leaves, producing this a tricky 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, as well as Mecole Hardman. My informed hunch on whom to target for dream objectives would certainly be Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 along with 933 backyards on 78 celebrations (along with 3 touchdowns), 2nd only to Kelce in those categories.Now, permit's study recently's disclaimer cable. Our company'll begin along with a team of wide receivers who can likely help you handle Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a good Week 4. Will he carry out the very same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, Nyc Planes (44.2% rostered): The Jets have slowly increase Williams' usage over the past few full weeks as he comes back coming from in 2015's ACL injury. He do with 10.7 dream factors versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, publishing a season-high 5 aim ats, 4 celebrations as well as 67 receiving gardens. Today is a great time to incorporate Williams, however keep in mind he's predominantly playing in 11 employees. While he's worth grabbing, you might not want to begin him versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, New York City Giants (27.1%): It's unexpected that Robinson isn't rostered in more leagues. Daniel Jones relies intensely on both him and Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually seen eight-plus targets in three away from 4 games, along with two activities of 12-plus targets. He has actually likewise slashed 12-plus imagination scores in three of the 4 activities. He's strongly on the flex radar against the Seat Seahawks in Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen endured a hamstring injury in Full week 3 versus the Sin City Raiders and was actually positioned on IR. This gave Legette a chance to get more snaps as well as targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- and also he took total perk. He caught 6 of his 10 intendeds, scoring 19.6 fantasy factors. The Panthers' offense looks to be revitalized along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, making Legette is actually a sound flex possibility in deeper formats moving into Full week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Respect the Commish Championship RingRecognize the commitment and hard-earned authorization of your organization's Commish with bling. Usage code FOCUS10 for 10% off your purchase. Outlet Right now.Tre Tucker, Sin City Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually scored 15-plus dream points as well as viewed six-plus targets in two direct games. He has also run the second-most options on his crew over that span. Along with Davante Adams provided as "week-to-week" as a result of a hamstring accident, Tucker should carry on playing a vital job in the Raiders' death game and ought to be rostered. The Raiders face the Broncos in Full week 5, and also with Jakobi Meyers probably busy against Dab Surtain II, Tucker remains to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Veggie Gulf Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was actually eliminated because of a high ankle joint strain in the second one-fourth of Sunday's video game versus the Vikings. Wicks quickly came in as the starting pass receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and rarely left behind the industry. He completed with thirteen targets and also 24.8 fantasy points. It costs noting that Jayden Reed, that possessed 8 aims for as well as 27.1 imagination aspects, mainly plays in three-WR sets. In Week 5, Wicks encounters a Los Angeles Rams defense that has actually quit the third-most WR dream points every activity. If Watson misses out on opportunity, Wicks can be deemed a high-end flex alternative. Otherwise, Wicks is actually more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was a breakout prospect this summer months, yet a preseason trauma took the wind out of his sails. He didn't create his regular-season launching till Full week 3, yet his 22.2 imagination factors versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 presented what he can possibly do, specifically with Joe Flacco under facility. Downs tied Michael Pittman Jr. for the team top with 9 targets and could possess even more successful activities ahead of time if Flacco starts while Anthony Richardson recovers coming from the hip personal injury he suffered Sunday. Downs is strongly on the flex radar for Full week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose protection has actually 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 along with 82 obtaining lawns on 4 catches versus the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington possessed extra celebrations (6 ). Each Atwell and also Whittington uploaded strong imagination functionalities, each scoring 12.2 scores. I choose Atwell, that has actually slashed 12-plus imagination points in 2 direct activities. Nevertheless, both cost point to consider in deeper styles and should remain involved in the Rams' passing game until Cooper Kupp and also Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (3.5%): McCloud must get on your radar in much deeper organizations. He has had five-plus intendeds and also 40-plus receiving lawns in 3 of his 4 video games this season. Functioning mainly coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that regularly runs 11 employees. Fascinatingly, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta receiver when Kirk Cousins is under the gun. However, the Falcons rate just 22nd in passing attempts every activity, which confines his fantasy ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 Just how Sam Darnold has actually helped Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks how Sam Darnold has improved his and also Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has been spectacular to see. He has currently racked up 19-plus dream points in 3 trustworthy video games, yet he is actually amazingly still offered in numerous leagues. Darnold is prospering in scalp trainer Kevin O'Connell's offensive plan, with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as his top 2 receivers. He likewise excels under the gun and also when blitzed, which is a useful characteristic offered the considerable increase in stress rates this time. Darnold gets on the QB1 radar for Week 5 in London against his past team, the Jets.Justin Fields, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Specialization possessed a season-high 31.9 imagination factors against the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the initial player in Steelers record to throw for 300 passing gardens, surge for fifty gardens as well as have 2 hurrying credit ratings in a singular game. He has currently racked up 18-plus dream points in successive activities. Along With the Dallas Cowboys self defense managing many personal injuries heading right into Week 5, Fields may be considered a premium QB2. Dallas loses hope the fourth-most QB fantasy points every game, making this an extremely desirable matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence carried out do with a season-high 14.7 dream factors Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Full week 5, he faces a Indianapolis Colts protection that has actually made it possible for merely under 20 imagination factors per game to QBs. This matchup can be a wonderful chance for him to turn factors all around, especially with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk and also Gabe Davis as his best 3 receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's dream performance Sunday versus the Bengals produced simply 15.7 aspects, which wasn't as exceptional as his 24.5 points versus the Raiders in Full week 3. Having said that, he continues to be a reliable possibility for imagination supervisors taking care of QB issues, specifically in superflex styles. With upcoming matchups against the Bears, Falcons and also Commanders, Dalton may be considered as a low-end QB2 as managers navigate bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco presented he still possesses some magic left, slashing 15.0 fantasy factors against the Steelers while substituting Richardson, who hurt a hip in the initial zone. It was actually refreshing to find a Colts quarterback successfully circulate the football. As of now, it's not clear whether Richardson's injury is serious, however it could be smart to not hurry him back, provided his variance. If Flacco begins in Full week 5 against a Jaguars protection that allows the second-most QB imagination factors per activity, he can land on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 fantasy outlookDaniel Dopp as well as Stephania Bell anticipate Bucky Irving to do well in Week 5 even with injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I understand Irving is actually rostered in just over 50% of leagues, but he must be your best RB intended if he is actually still offered. Just before the Week 4 game against the Eagles, files claimed Irving would acquire more work-- as well as he carried out. Despite having a hamstring issue, he possessed 11 contacts and a season-high 12.5 dream aspects. Rachaad White, who had gastrointestinal disorder the day just before the video game, took care of 12 touches and 10.4 fantasy points. Go acquire Irving.Braelon Allen, The Big Apple Sprays (45.4%): Allen led the Sprays in hurrying gardens on Sunday against the Broncos. The Planes' RB committee appears to be tightening up, with Allen completing the video game along with 9 flairs and also 5.1 imagination aspects, while Breece Venue possessed 12 flairs and also merely 2.8 factors. It's likewise worth keeping in mind that Allen is actually receiving a higher percent of early-down snaps, most likely to help manage Hall's work. Irrespective, Allen ought to be rostered just about everywhere and also stores standalone worth. If Venue overlooks at any time, the novice will immediately perform the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle possessed a season-high 12 contacts as well as 13.1 fantasy points Thursday night versus the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both touches and also imagination factors. The primary issue is actually that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn are actually all getting snaps as well as touches. That said, along with NFL teams averaging 119.7 hurrying lawns every game (the best with Full week 4 this century) and also the designed thrill fee at 39.8% (the best because 2010), landing a beginning RB off the disclaimer cable is actually still a terrific find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier finished with 10 styles (for the second time this season) as well as 10.0 fantasy aspects against the Saints on Sunday. Until now in 2024, he flaunts a much higher backyards per thrill as well as backyards after contact every effort than Bijan Robinson. I'm certainly not mentioning Allgeier will supersede Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, however it's crystal clear he has a duty as well as standalone value in dream. If Robinson skips whenever, Allgeier will undoubtedly be on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Las Vegas Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 dream point in times via four video games, regardless of having less contacts than Zamir White. He is actually a better recipient away from the backfield and also even more knowledgeable at steering clear of tackles. Mattison is worthy of a lot more touches. In Full week 5, the Raiders face a Broncos defense that surrenders the eighth-most RB receptions per game. This is vital because, while the Broncos place 3rd in run deter gain rate, the Raiders' objectionable line rates last in operate block win fee. Mattison can locate himself intensely targeted against Denver.Kareem Search, Kansas City Chiefs (21.4%): Quest scored simply 10.5 dream aspects Sunday versus the Chargers, however he led Kansas Metropolitan area's backfield with 16 touches. It's also worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele shed a fumble early as well as really did not play another piece of cake afterwards. The Chiefs possess among the best eruptive offenses, so Hunt can be a beneficial imagination possibility if he tackles additional of the passing-game part along with rushing roles. He must be actually rostered in all leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Container Bigsby is actually a beneficial addition to fantasy teamsEric Moody suggests unpredictability around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why imagination managers should include Storage tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars along with an impressive 90 hurrying backyards on only seven attempts against the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard run. To place that in perspective, that's more than the 50 yards Travis Etienne Jr. gained on his 11 attempts, although Etienne experienced a shoulder trauma in the initial one-fourth. Bigsby has actually appeared great this period and also, along with the Jaguars sitting at 0-4, head trainer Doug Pederson's seat is receiving hotter. Do not be surprised if Bigsby starts receiving even more touches versus the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Preaching, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's activity versus the Steelers because of a second-half ankle joint personal injury. It is a moderate ankle strain, however it is actually unclear if he'll any kind of miss out on time. Taylor has averaged 19.5 contacts every video game this season. If he is actually out, Homily will enter a crucial job behind an offending line that rates 2nd in operate block win fee. Also, in Week 5, the Colts face a Jaguars protection that has lost hope the fourth-most RB dream points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has actually balanced 9.0 touches per activity. He's a strong pickup in deeper formats considering that the Patriots rate 11th in rushing efforts every video game. If Rhamondre Stevenson overlooks opportunity, Gibson could view a big amount of work, regardless of whether for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Although D'Andre Swift scored 23 contacts and also 29.5 imagination factors versus the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to have gotten the change-of-pace job. He published simply 8.6 dream factors, yet played additional breaks than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft possesses Field Yates' attentionField Yates reveals just how Tucker Kraft's chances continue to grow in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Eco-friendly Gulf Packers (4.5%): Kraft prepared time highs Sunday against the Vikings with 9 targets, 6 celebrations, 53 getting lawns and also 17.3 fantasy factors. Jordan Passion threw the reception 54 times since the Packers were routing all video game long, yet Kraft's performance still forebodes properly for when the Packers have an even more balanced assault. Up following in Full week 5, Green Bay deals with the Rams-- a crew that has actually quit the fourth-most TE fantasy factors per game.Tyler Conklin, Nyc Planes (35.7%): The Broncos shut down the Planes' affront Sunday, however Conklin's involvement was actually a brilliant area, as he viewed eight intendeds. He positions third in paths operate on the Planes this time as well as plays on a higher amount of breaks. In Full week 5, New york city deals with a Vikings protection that has made it possible for the 10th-most total gardens every activity, offering Conklin an opportunity to remain involved.Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been actually a harsh period for cramping sides, along with just 20 goals scored by the position-- on rate for the least by means of Week 4 considering that 1992. One thing to keep in mind: Otton has scored 17 targets over the past two games. He has likewise composed double-digit imagination factors in successive competitions. As we move right into the bye full weeks, Otton is a solid streaming choice for those in requirement, specifically Thursday evening against the Falcons.
