The absolute most notable one from Week 4 is actually Kansas Urban Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is actually dreaded to have actually torn his correct ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a huge blow for both the Chiefs as well as fantasy supervisors as well. By means of the 1st three weeks, Rice led the circle along with 24 receptions as well as ranked top two in both yards (288) and intendeds (32 ). Newbie WR Xavier Worthy, who is actually actually rostered in a lot of leagues, scored 13.7 fantasy aspects Sunday, while professional TE Travis Kelce likewise improved in Rice's absence. However, there's no very clear prospect to fill the vacancy Rice leaves behind, creating this a complicated rotation 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, and Mecole Hardman. My enlightened assumption on whom to target for dream purposes would be Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs recipients in 2022 along with 933 backyards on 78 receptions (along with three touchdowns), 2nd just to Kelce in those categories.Now, permit's study this week's disclaimer wire. Our company'll start with a group of pass receivers that can likely assist you deal with Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a respectable Full week 4. Will he perform the exact same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, The Big Apple Planes (44.2% rostered): The Planes have slowly increase Williams' usage over the past couple of weeks as he comes back from last year's ACL accident. He finished with 10.7 fantasy points against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, posting a season-high 5 intendeds, 4 celebrations and also 67 acquiring yards. Today is actually a great time to include Williams, but bear in mind he's mostly playing in 11 personnel. While he's worth grabbing, you might not want to begin him versus the Minnesota Vikings in Full Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, New York Giants (27.1%): It is actually surprising that Robinson isn't rostered in additional games. Daniel Jones depends highly on both him and Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually viewed eight-plus targets in three away from 4 activities, with two games of 12-plus aim ats. He has likewise slashed 12-plus imagination scores in 3 of the four video games. He is actually strongly on the flex radar versus the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen endured a hamstring trauma in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders as well as was put on IR. This gave Legette an opportunity to get additional snaps and also targets versus the Cincinnati Bengals-- and he took total benefit. He captured 6 of his 10 targets, scoring 19.6 fantasy points. The Panthers' offense seems renewed along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, producing Legette is actually a solid flex possibility in much deeper styles moving into Week 5 against the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Appreciation the Commish Championship RingRecognize the commitment and also hard-earned authorization of your league's Commish along with bling. Usage code FOCUS10 for 10% off your purchase. Outlet Now.Tre Tucker, Sin City Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually scored 15-plus dream aspects and observed six-plus targets in pair of straight games. He has additionally run the second-most paths on his staff over that period. With Davante Adams specified as "week-to-week" as a result of a hamstring injury, Tucker needs to continue playing a vital task in the Raiders' passing away game and also ought to be actually rostered. The Raiders encounter the Broncos in Full week 5, and with Jakobi Meyers very likely active against Dab Surtain II, Tucker stands to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Veggie Gulf Packers (9.5%): Religious Watson was actually eliminated as a result of a high ankle joint sprain in the second one-fourth of Sunday's game versus the Vikings. Wicks promptly intervened as the beginning wide receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and hardly ever left behind the field. He completed with 13 aims for and 24.8 fantasy points. It's worth keeping in mind that Jayden Splint, who had eight aims for and 27.1 dream points, mainly plays in three-WR collections. In Week 5, Wicks faces a Los Angeles Rams self defense that has quit the third-most WR fantasy scores every video game. If Watson misses out on time, Wicks could be considered as a premium flex option. Otherwise, Wicks is even more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was actually a breakout applicant this summer, yet a preseason injury took the wind out of his sails. He really did not make his regular-season debut till Week 3, yet his 22.2 fantasy aspects versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 presented what he may do, particularly with Joe Flacco under center. Downs matched Michael Pittman Jr. for the group lead with nine aim ats as well as can possess more productive activities in advance if Flacco begins while Anthony Richardson recovers from the hip accident he suffered Sunday. Downs is actually firmly on the flex radar for Full week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense has permitted the eighth-most WR fantasy points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) as well as Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams along with 82 receiving backyards on 4 catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington possessed even more celebrations (6 ). Both Atwell and Whittington uploaded solid fantasy efficiencies, each slashing 12.2 points. I choose Atwell, that has actually scored 12-plus dream points in pair of straight video games. Nonetheless, each deserve factor in much deeper formats and should continue to be associated with the Rams' death activity until Cooper Kupp as well as Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Ga Falcons (3.5%): McCloud ought to be on your radar in much deeper organizations. He has actually possessed five-plus targets and 40-plus acquiring gardens in three of his four activities this period. Running mainly coming from the slot, he plays in a Falcons outburst that often manages 11 workers. Remarkably, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta ga receiver when Kirk Cousins is actually under pressure. Nonetheless, the Falcons position simply 22nd in passing attempts every video game, which confines his fantasy ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 How Sam Darnold has actually helped Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks how Sam Darnold has improved his as well as Justin Jefferson's dream output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has been actually breathtaking to watch. He has now racked up 19-plus imagination aspects in 3 trustworthy games, yet he's amazingly still on call in numerous games. Darnold is growing in scalp coach Kevin O'Connell's offending program, along with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his best two receivers. He also succeeds under the gun as well as when blitzed, which is a useful attribute offered the considerable boost in tension costs this time. Darnold gets on the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in Greater london versus his former crew, the Jets.Justin Area, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Specialization possessed a season-high 31.9 fantasy aspects against the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the initial gamer in Steelers past to throw for 300 passing lawns, rush for fifty lawns and possess 2 hurrying scores in a single video game. He has actually right now scored 18-plus dream ideas in successive video games. With the Dallas Cowboys defense managing several personal injuries heading into Week 5, Area could be considered a high-end QB2. Dallas loses hope the fourth-most QB imagination factors every activity, making this a very positive matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence did completed with a season-high 14.7 imagination aspects Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he experiences a Indianapolis Colts self defense that has actually permitted simply under 20 dream aspects per video game to QBs. This matchup may be a great opportunity for him to turn points all around, specifically with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk and Gabe Davis as his leading three receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's dream performance Sunday versus the Bengals produced only 15.7 points, which wasn't as exceptional as his 24.5 factors against the Raiders in Week 3. However, he continues to be a reputable alternative for imagination supervisors taking care of QB problems, specifically in superflex styles. Along with upcoming matches against the Bears, Falcons and also Commanders, Dalton can be deemed a low-end QB2 as supervisors get through bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco showed he still possesses some magic left, slashing 15.0 fantasy factors versus the Steelers while filling in for Richardson, who hurt a hip in the first sector. It was freshening to see a Colts quarterback successfully disperse the regulation football. Already, it is actually unclear whether Richardson's accident is significant, but it might be a good idea to certainly not rush him back, given his variance. If Flacco begins in Week 5 against a Jaguars self defense that allows the second-most QB imagination aspects every video game, he might land on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 fantasy outlookDaniel Dopp and Stephania Alarm anticipate Bucky Irving to accomplish well in Full week 5 in spite of personal injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I understand Irving is actually rostered in merely over fifty% of leagues, yet he needs to be your best RB aim at if he's still readily available. Before the Full week 4 activity versus the Eagles, documents stated Irving would receive more work-- and also he did. Even with a hamstring problem, he had 11 touches and a season-high 12.5 fantasy factors. Rachaad White, that had food poisoning the time prior to the video game, managed 12 touches as well as 10.4 dream points. Go get Irving.Braelon Allen, New York Squirts (45.4%): Allen led the Sprays in hurrying backyards on Sunday versus the Broncos. The Planes' RB committee seems to be to become securing up, along with Allen finishing the game with nine flairs and also 5.1 fantasy points, while Breece Venue possessed 12 touches and also merely 2.8 aspects. It is actually additionally worth noting that Allen is acquiring a higher percent of early-down snaps, probably to help deal with Hall's amount of work. No matter, Allen ought to be rostered anywhere as well as keeps standalone worth. If Hall skips at any time, the newbie is going to immediately get on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle possessed a season-high 12 contacts and 13.1 fantasy factors Thursday night versus the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both touches as well as imagination aspects. The major problem is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and also Deuce Vaughn are all receiving snaps and contacts. That mentioned, along with NFL staffs balancing 119.7 hurrying yards per activity (the best through Full week 4 this century) and also the developed surge cost at 39.8% (the highest considering that 2010), landing a starting RB off the disclaimer wire is actually still a wonderful find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Ga Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier do with 10 flairs (for the 2nd opportunity this period) as well as 10.0 dream points versus the Saints on Sunday. So far in 2024, he flaunts a higher lawns every thrill and gardens after connect with per effort than Bijan Robinson. I'm certainly not pointing out Allgeier is going to replace Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, however it is actually crystal clear he possesses a job as well as standalone worth in imagination. If Robinson skips whenever, Allgeier will definitely get on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Las Vegas Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 dream times through 4 video games, in spite of possessing less contacts than Zamir White. He is actually a better receiver away from the backfield as well as additional knowledgeable at preventing confronts. Mattison is entitled to a lot more touches. In Full week 5, the Raiders experience a Broncos defense that loses hope the eighth-most RB receptions per game. This is crucial given that, while the Broncos place 3rd in operate stop win cost, the Raiders' outrageous line ranks final in operate block gain rate. Mattison could possibly locate himself intensely targeted against Denver.Kareem Hunt, Kansas Area Chiefs (21.4%): Quest scored just 10.5 dream factors Sunday versus the Chargers, however he led Kansas City's backfield along with 16 touches. It is actually additionally worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele shed a fumble early as well as failed to participate in one more breeze afterwards. The Chiefs possess some of the best eruptive offenses, therefore Pursuit can be a beneficial imagination possibility if he tackles additional of the passing-game job along with hurrying duties. He should be rostered in every leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Tank Bigsby is actually an important enhancement to dream teamsEric Moody leads to unpredictability around Travis Etienne's shoulder in order to why fantasy managers must add Tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with an impressive 90 hurrying lawns on just seven efforts against the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard run. To put that in viewpoint, that's greater than the fifty yards Travis Etienne Jr. overtook his 11 attempts, although Etienne experienced a shoulder accident in the first quarter. Bigsby has appeared great this season as well as, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, head trainer Doug Pederson's chair is obtaining hotter. Don't be surprised if Bigsby starts acquiring extra touches against the Colts in Week 5. Trey Homily, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left Sunday's activity versus the Steelers due to a second-half ankle injury. It is a light ankle joint sprain, however it's not clear if he'll any kind of miss opportunity. Taylor has balanced 19.5 touches per activity this time. If he is actually out, Homily will step into a vital role behind an outrageous line that ranks 2nd in operate block succeed price. Also, in Week 5, the Colts face a Jaguars defense that has quit the fourth-most RB fantasy points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has actually averaged 9.0 touches every video game. He's a sound pick-up in deeper formats given that the Patriots place 11th in hurrying tries every video game. If Rhamondre Stevenson skips time, Gibson could see a significant workload, even when for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Despite The Fact That D'Andre Swift scored 23 contacts and also 29.5 dream factors versus the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to have safeguarded the change-of-pace function. He posted just 8.6 fantasy points, however played more snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft possesses Area Yates' attentionField Yates clarifies how Tucker Kraft's options continue to expand in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Eco-friendly Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft specified season highs Sunday against the Vikings with 9 targets, 6 receptions, 53 getting backyards as well as 17.3 imagination aspects. Jordan Love threw the reception 54 times considering that the Packers were tracking all activity long, yet Kraft's performance still forebodes effectively for when the Packers possess a more balanced strike. Up upcoming in Full week 5, Environment-friendly Bay faces the Rams-- a staff that has given up the fourth-most TE fantasy points every game.Tyler Conklin, The big apple Jets (35.7%): The Broncos turned off the Jets' injustice Sunday, but Conklin's engagement was actually an intense area, as he saw eight targets. He rates third in routes work on the Jets this season and plays on a higher amount of snaps. In Full week 5, The big apple deals with a Vikings protection that has enabled the 10th-most total gardens per game, providing Conklin a possibility to stay involved.Cade Otton, Tampa florida Gulf Buccaneers (6.2%): It has been actually a tough season for tight ends, with only 20 goals scored by the posture-- on speed for the least with Full week 4 since 1992. One thing to details: Otton has acquired 17 intendeds over recent pair of activities. He has likewise composed double-digit imagination factors in successive matches. As we move right into the bye full weeks, Otton is a strong streaming alternative for those in need, particularly Thursday evening versus the Falcons.
