The best remarkable one coming from Week 4 is actually Kansas Urban Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is been afraid of to have actually torn his appropriate ACL on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a huge blow for both the Chiefs as well as fantasy supervisors identical. With the first three weeks, Rice led the league along with 24 events as well as stood top pair of in both gardens (288) and also intendeds (32 ). Newbie WR Xavier Worthy, that is presently rostered in a lot of organizations, racked up 13.7 imagination aspects Sunday, while veteran TE Travis Kelce additionally improved in Rice's absence. However, there's no crystal clear candidate to fill up the vacancy Rice leaves behind, making 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, as well as Mecole Hardman. My informed estimate on whom to target for fantasy objectives would certainly be actually Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 with 933 gardens on 78 celebrations (with three goals), second only to Kelce in those categories.Now, let's dive into this week's disclaimer wire. Our team'll begin along with a team of wide receivers that can potentially aid you handle Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a respectable Full week 4. Will he carry out the same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York City Jets (44.2% rostered): The Jets have actually little by little ramped up Williams' usage over recent couple of full weeks as he returns from in 2013's ACL accident. He completed with 10.7 imagination points versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, submitting a season-high 5 targets, 4 events and also 67 receiving backyards. Now is actually a good time to add Williams, however consider he's mostly playing in 11 staffs. While he costs picking up, you may certainly not would like 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 even more games. Daniel Jones relies intensely on both him and also Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually observed eight-plus intendeds in 3 away from four activities, with 2 games of 12-plus intendeds. He has actually also slashed 12-plus fantasy points in three of the 4 activities. He's strongly on the flex radar against the Seat Seahawks in Full Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen endured a hamstring injury in Week 3 versus the Sin City Raiders and was placed on IR. This provided Legette a possibility to obtain more snaps as well as targets versus the Cincinnati Bengals-- and also he took total perk. He captured 6 of his 10 aim ats, racking up 19.6 dream aspects. The Panthers' offense seems refreshed with Andy Dalton at quarterback, making Legette is actually a solid flex possibility in much deeper styles moving in to Week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Appreciation the Commish Champion RingRecognize the commitment and also hard-earned authority of your game's Commish with bling. Make use of code FOCUS10 for 10% off your purchase. Store Now.Tre Tucker, Sin City Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually scored 15-plus fantasy points and found six-plus intendeds in pair of straight video games. He possesses additionally manage the second-most paths on his team over that period. Along with Davante Adams provided as "week-to-week" because of a hamstring accident, Tucker ought to carry on playing a key role in the Raiders' death game and should be rostered. The Raiders experience the Broncos in Week 5, as well as with Jakobi Meyers probably active against Pat Surtain II, Tucker endures to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Eco-friendly Gulf Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was ruled out as a result of a high ankle joint strain in the second one-fourth of Sunday's activity versus the Vikings. Wicks promptly actioned in as the beginning pass receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) as well as hardly ever left behind the area. He do with 13 aims for as well as 24.8 dream aspects. It deserves keeping in mind that Jayden Reed, that had eight aims for and also 27.1 fantasy points, primarily plays in three-WR collections. In Week 5, Wicks encounters a Los Angeles Rams defense that has given up the third-most WR imagination scores per activity. If Watson misses time, Wicks may be deemed a high-end flex possibility. Otherwise, Wicks is actually even more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was a breakout prospect this summer, but a preseason personal injury took the wind out of his sails. He failed to create his regular-season launching up until Week 3, however his 22.2 dream factors against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 revealed what he may do, specifically along with Joe Flacco under facility. Downs tied Michael Pittman Jr. for the staff top with 9 targets and also might possess extra productive games in advance if Flacco starts while Anthony Richardson recoups from the hip trauma he suffered Sunday. Downs is firmly on the flex radar for Week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense has enabled the eighth-most WR fantasy points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) and Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams along with 82 getting gardens on four catches versus the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington had extra receptions (6 ). Both Atwell as well as Whittington submitted solid dream functionalities, each scoring 12.2 scores. I like Atwell, that has scored 12-plus imagination points in 2 direct video games. However, each deserve factor in deeper formats and should stay associated with the Rams' passing away video game up until Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (3.5%): McCloud must perform your radar in much deeper organizations. He has possessed five-plus intendeds and 40-plus acquiring backyards in three of his 4 activities this period. Functioning primarily from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that often operates 11 personnel. Fascinatingly, he is actually the second-most-targeted Atlanta receiver when Kirk Cousins is actually under the gun. Having said that, the Falcons rank just 22nd in passing tries per video game, which restricts his imagination ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 How Sam Darnold has actually helped Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates malfunctions how Sam Darnold has improved his and also Justin Jefferson's imagination output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's awakening has been awesome to view. He has currently racked up 19-plus dream factors in three forthright activities, yet he is actually incredibly still on call in a lot of organizations. Darnold is thriving in head coach Kevin O'Connell's objectionable program, along with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his leading two recipients. He also stands out struggling and also when blitzed, which is actually a beneficial trait offered the considerable rise in pressure fees this time. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in Greater london against his previous team, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Specialization possessed a season-high 31.9 dream points versus the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the initial player in Steelers history to throw for 300 passing lawns, thrill for fifty yards and also possess 2 hurrying scores in a solitary game. He has actually currently racked up 18-plus imagination points in consecutive games. With the Dallas Cowboys defense dealing with numerous injuries moving in to Week 5, Specialization could be considered a high-end QB2. Dallas gives up the fourth-most QB fantasy factors every activity, making this a quite positive matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence performed finish with a season-high 14.7 imagination points Sunday against the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he deals with a Indianapolis Colts self defense that has permitted just under 20 fantasy points every activity to QBs. This competition might be a fantastic possibility for him to turn factors about, specifically with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk and Gabe Davis as his best three receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's dream efficiency Sunday against the Bengals yielded just 15.7 points, which wasn't as exceptional as his 24.5 factors against the Raiders in Full week 3. However, he stays a reputable possibility for fantasy supervisors coping with QB problems, especially in superflex formats. Along with upcoming matchups versus the Bears, Falcons and also Commanders, Dalton may be deemed a low-end QB2 as managers browse bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco revealed he still has some magic left, scoring 15.0 fantasy factors versus the Steelers while substituting Richardson, that wounded a hip in the very first part. It was freshening to find a Colts quarterback properly disperse the football. As of now, it is actually uncertain whether Richardson's accident is actually major, but it might be smart to not hurry him back, given his incongruity. If Flacco starts in Week 5 versus a Jaguars defense that makes it possible for the second-most QB imagination points every game, he can arrive on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 dream outlookDaniel Dopp and Stephania Alarm count on Bucky Irving to perform effectively in Week 5 despite accident concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa bay Gulf Buccaneers (51.7%): I understand Irving is actually rostered in merely over fifty% of organizations, yet he ought to be your best RB intended if he's still readily available. Just before the Week 4 game against the Eagles, documents mentioned Irving will get additional job-- as well as he did. Despite having a hamstring concern, he had 11 touches and a season-high 12.5 imagination factors. Rachaad White, that had food poisoning the day just before the game, dealt with 12 touches as well as 10.4 dream factors. Go obtain Irving.Braelon Allen, Nyc Squirts (45.4%): Allen led the Squirts in rushing yards on Sunday against the Broncos. The Planes' RB committee seems to become tightening up, with Allen finishing the game with 9 styles and also 5.1 fantasy aspects, while Breece Venue had 12 touches and just 2.8 factors. It's additionally worth keeping in mind that Allen is obtaining a greater portion of early-down snaps, likely to assist deal with Venue's work. Irrespective, Allen must be rostered everywhere and keeps standalone market value. If Venue overlooks whenever, the novice will right away be on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle possessed a season-high 12 touches as well as 13.1 fantasy factors Thursday night versus the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both touches and also dream factors. The major issue is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and also Deuce Vaughn are actually all getting snaps and contacts. That mentioned, along with NFL groups averaging 119.7 rushing gardens every game (the best with Week 4 this century) and the designed thrill cost at 39.8% (the highest given that 2010), landing a beginning RB off the waiver wire is actually still a great find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier do with 10 styles (for the second time this time) and also 10.0 imagination aspects against the Saints on Sunday. Until now in 2024, he boasts a greater yards per thrill as well as yards after get in touch with per try than Bijan Robinson. I am actually not saying Allgeier will supersede Robinson in the Falcons' RB committee, but it is actually clear he possesses a job as well as standalone value in fantasy. If Robinson misses out on at any time, Allgeier is going to absolutely get on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield along with 41.6 fantasy points through 4 activities, regardless of possessing far fewer contacts than Zamir White. He is actually a much better recipient out of the backfield as well as more skilled at steering clear of tackles. Mattison is worthy of a lot more contacts. In Week 5, the Raiders experience a Broncos self defense that quits the eighth-most RB receptions every activity. This is actually essential since, while the Broncos place 3rd in operate quit win cost, the Raiders' objectionable line places final in run block win fee. Mattison could locate themself highly targeted versus Denver.Kareem Search, Kansas City Chiefs (21.4%): Search racked up only 10.5 fantasy points Sunday versus the Chargers, however he led Kansas Metropolitan area's backfield with 16 contacts. It is actually likewise worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele lost a fumble early and didn't participate in one more breeze afterwards. The Chiefs possess one of one of the most explosive offenses, therefore Pursuit may be a valuable imagination alternative if he handles additional of the passing-game task together with hurrying responsibilities. He should be rostered in each leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Storage tank Bigsby is a useful enhancement to fantasy teamsEric Moody leads to unpredictability around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why fantasy supervisors ought to incorporate Container Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with an outstanding 90 hurrying yards on just seven attempts versus the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard run. To place that in perspective, that's greater than the 50 yards Travis Etienne Jr. gained on his 11 efforts, although Etienne went through a shoulder trauma in the 1st one-fourth. Bigsby has appeared fantastic this time and, along with the Jaguars sitting at 0-4, scalp coach Doug Pederson's seat is obtaining hotter. Do not be amazed if Bigsby starts receiving much more contacts against the Colts in Week 5. Trey Lecture, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's activity versus the Steelers due to a second-half ankle joint injury. It is actually a mild ankle sprain, yet it is actually not clear if he'll any kind of skip opportunity. Taylor has actually averaged 19.5 touches every game this season. If he is actually out, Lecture will definitely enter an essential part behind an offending line that rates second in run block gain rate. Also, in Full week 5, the Colts experience a Jaguars self defense that has actually surrendered the fourth-most RB dream points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has actually balanced 9.0 touches per video game. He's a strong pick up in deeper formats due to the fact that the Patriots rank 11th in rushing attempts per activity. If Rhamondre Stevenson misses opportunity, Gibson might find a massive amount of work, even when for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Even though D'Andre Swift acquired 23 contacts and 29.5 fantasy aspects versus the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to be to have secured the change-of-pace role. He published simply 8.6 fantasy aspects, but participated in additional pops than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft possesses Field Yates' attentionField Yates clarifies just how Tucker Kraft's options remain to increase in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Environment-friendly Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft specified season highs Sunday against the Vikings along with 9 aims for, 6 events, 53 acquiring backyards and 17.3 imagination points. Jordan Affection threw the ball 54 opportunities given that the Packers were actually tracking all video game long, however Kraft's performance still forebodes effectively for when the Packers possess an even more well balanced attack. Up next in Week 5, Veggie Bay faces the Rams-- a staff that has surrendered the fourth-most TE imagination points per game.Tyler Conklin, New york city Jets (35.7%): The Broncos stopped the Planes' injustice Sunday, however Conklin's participation was actually an intense place, as he viewed 8 aim ats. He positions 3rd in options run on the Jets this period as well as uses a higher portion of snaps. In Week 5, New york city deals with a Vikings protection that has actually permitted the 10th-most total gardens per video game, offering Conklin an opportunity to remain involved.Cade Otton, Tampa florida Gulf Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been a harsh time for tight sides, along with only 20 goals counted due to the posture-- on rate for the least through Week 4 due to the fact that 1992. Something to details: Otton has actually racked up 17 aim ats over recent 2 games. He has additionally scored double-digit dream points in consecutive competitions. As our team move into the bye weeks, Otton is actually a sound streaming alternative for those in need, especially Thursday evening against the Falcons.
