The absolute most noteworthy one from Full week 4 is Kansas Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is actually worried to have actually torn his right ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It is actually a big draft for both the Chiefs and imagination managers alike. Via the very first 3 full weeks, Rice led the rank with 24 receptions and stood leading two in both yards (288) as well as aim ats (32 ). Rookie WR Xavier Worthy, that is actually rostered in a lot of leagues, scored 13.7 fantasy points Sunday, while veteran TE Travis Kelce additionally boosted in Rice's lack. However, there is actually no crystal clear applicant to fill the vacancy Rice leaves behind, making this a complicated rotation to predict.It will likely be actually a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN organizations), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and also Mecole Hardman. My educated hunch on whom to target for imagination purposes would certainly be Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 with 933 yards on 78 receptions (with 3 touchdowns), 2nd merely to Kelce in those categories.Now, let's study recently's disclaimer wire. Our company'll start along with a group of pass receivers that can likely help you manage Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a good Week 4. Will he do the exact same in Week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, The Big Apple Planes (44.2% rostered): The Jets have actually gradually ramped up Williams' usage over the past couple of weeks as he comes back from last year's ACL accident. He do with 10.7 imagination factors versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday, uploading a season-high 5 intendeds, 4 celebrations as well as 67 receiving lawns. Today is actually a blast to incorporate Williams, yet remember he's largely playing in 11 personnel. While he's worth grabbing, you may certainly not would like to start him against the Minnesota Vikings in Full Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, The Big Apple Giants (27.1%): It's unexpected that Robinson isn't rostered in even more games. Daniel Jones depends greatly on both him and also Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually found eight-plus targets in three away from four games, with 2 video games of 12-plus targets. He has actually also slashed 12-plus dream points in 3 of the 4 video games. He is actually firmly on the flex radar versus the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen endured a hamstring trauma in Full week 3 versus the Sin City Raiders and also was actually placed on IR. This provided Legette an odds to acquire more snaps and targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- as well as he took complete advantage. He recorded 6 of his 10 intendeds, racking up 19.6 dream factors. The Panthers' outburst looks to be revitalized along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, producing Legette is actually a solid flex choice in much deeper styles moving right into Full week 5 against the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Respect the Commish Champion RingRecognize the commitment and hard-earned authorization of your league's Commish along with bling. Make use of code FOCUS10 for 10% off your order. Store Now.Tre Tucker, Sin City Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually scored 15-plus imagination factors and viewed six-plus intendeds in 2 direct games. He has additionally manage the second-most paths on his crew over that period. Along with Davante Adams provided as "week-to-week" because of a hamstring accident, Tucker ought to carry on participating in a key role in the Raiders' passing activity and ought to be actually rostered. The Raiders face the Broncos in Week 5, and with Jakobi Meyers probably occupied against Pat Surtain II, Tucker endures to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Veggie Bay Packers (9.5%): Religious Watson was dismissed due to a high ankle joint sprain in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's activity against the Vikings. Wicks promptly actioned in as the starting pass receiver opposite Romeo Doubs (25.2%) as well as rarely left behind the area. He finished with thirteen targets as well as 24.8 dream factors. It's worth keeping in mind that Jayden Splint, that had eight targets and also 27.1 fantasy factors, largely plays in three-WR collections. In Full week 5, Wicks faces a Los Angeles Rams protection that has lost hope the third-most WR dream scores every video game. If Watson overlooks opportunity, Wicks could be viewed as a premium flex possibility. If not, Wicks is actually additional of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was actually a breakout applicant this summertime, yet a preseason trauma took the wind out of his sails. He didn't create his regular-season launching until Full week 3, but his 22.2 fantasy aspects versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 revealed what he can do, particularly along with Joe Flacco under facility. Downs matched Michael Pittman Jr. for the staff top along with nine targets as well as could possess much more productive activities ahead of time if Flacco begins while Anthony Richardson recoups from the hip personal injury he endured Sunday. Downs is strongly on the flex radar for Week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose self defense has actually allowed 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 lawns on four catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington had extra receptions (6 ). Each Atwell and also Whittington uploaded solid fantasy efficiencies, each scoring 12.2 points. I like Atwell, who has scored 12-plus imagination ideas in two straight video games. Having said that, each are worth point to consider in deeper styles and need to remain involved in the Rams' passing away activity till Cooper Kupp and also Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Falcons (3.5%): McCloud needs to get on your radar in much deeper leagues. He has had five-plus intendeds and also 40-plus acquiring lawns in 3 of his four video games this time. Working predominantly coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that regularly runs 11 personnel. Remarkably, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta receiver when Kirk Cousins is actually under the gun. Having said that, the Falcons rank only 22nd in passing efforts every activity, which confines his imagination ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 Just how Sam Darnold has actually helped Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates malfunctions just how Sam Darnold has actually improved his and also Justin Jefferson's dream output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's renaissance has been actually awesome to view. He has actually now scored 19-plus imagination factors in 3 straight games, as yet he is actually surprisingly still on call in several organizations. Darnold is growing in head instructor Kevin O'Connell's objectionable plan, along with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his top two recipients. He likewise succeeds under pressure as well as when blitzed, which is actually an important quality offered the considerable rise in stress costs this season. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Week 5 in Greater london against his previous crew, the Jets.Justin Area, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Area possessed a season-high 31.9 fantasy factors against the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the very first gamer in Steelers past to throw for 300 passing yards, thrill for fifty backyards and also possess pair of hurrying credit ratings in a single game. He has actually right now scored 18-plus fantasy ideas in successive video games. With the Dallas Cowboys protection dealing with numerous injuries heading into Full week 5, Fields can be considered a premium QB2. Dallas surrenders the fourth-most QB dream aspects every video game, creating this an incredibly beneficial matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence carried out finish with a season-high 14.7 imagination factors Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he faces a Indianapolis Colts protection that has permitted just under 20 dream factors per game to QBs. This competition could be a great opportunity for him to turn traits around, especially with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk and Gabe Davis as his top 3 receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's imagination functionality Sunday against the Bengals produced just 15.7 factors, which had not been as excellent as his 24.5 factors versus the Raiders in Week 3. However, he remains a reliable choice for imagination managers dealing with QB concerns, especially in superflex styles. Along with upcoming competitions against the Bears, Falcons as well as Commanders, Dalton could be deemed 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, that hurt a hip in the 1st part. It was revitalizing to find a Colts quarterback effectively disperse the regulation football. Already, it is actually not clear whether Richardson's injury is actually serious, but it could be important to certainly not hurry him back, offered his variance. If Flacco starts in Full week 5 versus a Jaguars defense that permits the second-most QB fantasy points per video game, he might arrive on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 imagination outlookDaniel Dopp and Stephania Alarm count on Bucky Irving to carry out effectively in Full week 5 in spite of accident concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa bay Gulf Buccaneers (51.7%): I recognize Irving is actually rostered in only over 50% of organizations, however he should be your top RB aim at if he is actually still offered. Before the Full week 4 game against the Eagles, reports mentioned Irving would get additional job-- and also he performed. Despite a hamstring concern, he had 11 contacts and also a season-high 12.5 imagination aspects. Rachaad White, who possessed gastrointestinal disorder the time prior to the activity, handled 12 contacts and 10.4 imagination points. Go receive Irving.Braelon Allen, The Big Apple Sprays (45.4%): Allen led the Sprays in hurrying backyards on Sunday against the Broncos. The Planes' RB committee appears to become tightening up, with Allen ending up the activity along with nine flairs and 5.1 fantasy points, while Breece Hall had 12 touches and just 2.8 aspects. It is actually additionally worth keeping in mind that Allen is actually acquiring a higher percent of early-down snaps, probably to aid manage Venue's workload. Regardless, Allen ought to be rostered anywhere and stores standalone value. If Venue skips any time, the novice will right away perform the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 contacts as well as 13.1 fantasy aspects Thursday evening against the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both touches and fantasy factors. The primary problem is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott as well as Deuce Vaughn are actually all receiving snaps as well as contacts. That mentioned, along with NFL groups balancing 119.7 rushing yards every activity (the most by means of Week 4 this century) and the made rush price at 39.8% (the highest possible given that 2010), landing a beginning RB off the waiver cord is actually still a terrific find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier completed with 10 styles (for the 2nd time this period) and also 10.0 fantasy aspects against the Saints on Sunday. Thus far in 2024, he boasts a greater yards per surge and also gardens after call every try than Bijan Robinson. I'm certainly not pointing out Allgeier will supersede Robinson in the Falcons' RB committee, but it's very clear he has a duty as well as standalone market value in imagination. If Robinson misses at any time, Allgeier will certainly be on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Las Vegas Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield along with 41.6 imagination moments through 4 games, even with possessing far fewer contacts than Zamir White. He's a better recipient out of the backfield and additional competent at staying clear of tackles. Mattison deserves a lot more touches. In Week 5, the Raiders deal with a Broncos self defense that gives up the eighth-most RB receptions every game. This is actually crucial due to the fact that, while the Broncos rank third in run stop succeed cost, the Raiders' annoying line ranks last in run block win price. Mattison might locate himself greatly targeted versus Denver.Kareem Search, Kansas Urban Area Chiefs (21.4%): Search scored only 10.5 imagination aspects Sunday versus the Chargers, yet he led Kansas City's backfield along with 16 touches. It's likewise worth keeping in mind that Carson Steele dropped a fumble early and also failed to participate in an additional snap afterwards. The Chiefs have among the best eruptive offenses, therefore Hunt may be an important fantasy alternative if he handles even more of the passing-game part together with hurrying roles. He should be rostered in all leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Container Bigsby is actually a useful enhancement to imagination teamsEric Moody leads to unpredictability around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why fantasy managers should add Storage tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars along with an outstanding 90 hurrying backyards on just 7 tries against the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard jog. To place that in standpoint, that is actually much more than the fifty gardens Travis Etienne Jr. overtook his 11 tries, although Etienne experienced a shoulder injury in the very first one-fourth. Bigsby has actually appeared excellent this time as well as, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, head coach Doug Pederson's chair is acquiring hotter. Do not be stunned if Bigsby starts acquiring even more touches against the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Lecture, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's game versus the Steelers as a result of a second-half ankle joint injury. It is a mild ankle strain, yet it's uncertain if he'll any kind of skip opportunity. Taylor has balanced 19.5 contacts per activity this time. If he is actually out, Lecture is going to step into a vital function responsible for an offensive line that positions 2nd in operate block gain cost. Also, in Full week 5, the Colts encounter a Jaguars self defense that has quit the fourth-most RB dream points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has balanced 9.0 touches every video game. He is actually a solid pick-up in deeper layouts due to the fact that the Patriots place 11th in hurrying efforts per game. If Rhamondre Stevenson skips time, Gibson could possibly find a large workload, regardless of whether for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Despite The Fact That D'Andre Swift racked up 23 touches as well as 29.5 imagination aspects against the Rams on Sunday, Johnson appears to have safeguarded the change-of-pace job. He published just 8.6 imagination aspects, however participated in even more snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Area Yates' attentionField Yates reveals how Tucker Kraft's possibilities remain to increase in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Eco-friendly Gulf Packers (4.5%): Kraft established time highs Sunday against the Vikings with 9 aims for, 6 events, 53 receiving lawns and also 17.3 imagination points. Jordan Love tossed the ball 54 times due to the fact that the Packers were actually routing all activity long, yet Kraft's efficiency still forebodes properly for when the Packers possess an even more balanced attack. Up upcoming in Full week 5, Environment-friendly Bay faces the Rams-- a team that has given up the fourth-most TE imagination points per game.Tyler Conklin, New York Jets (35.7%): The Broncos turned off the Planes' offense Sunday, however Conklin's involvement was actually a brilliant spot, as he observed eight aim ats. He rates third in paths work on the Jets this time and uses a high portion of snaps. In Week 5, The big apple deals with a Vikings self defense that has actually allowed the 10th-most complete gardens per video game, providing Conklin a possibility to keep involved.Cade Otton, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been a rugged time for cramping sides, with only 20 touchdowns racked up by the setting-- on rate for the least through Full week 4 considering that 1992. One thing to details: Otton has scored 17 targets over the past pair of games. He has actually additionally composed double-digit fantasy aspects in consecutive matchups. As we move into the bye full weeks, Otton is a strong streaming option for those in requirement, specifically Thursday evening against the Falcons.
