The best remarkable one from Full week 4 is actually Kansas Urban Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, that is actually feared to have torn his best ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It's a significant blow for both the Chiefs and dream supervisors identical. With the first 3 weeks, Rice led the circle with 24 functions and also ranked best two in both gardens (288) as well as intendeds (32 ). Rookie WR Xavier Worthy, who is actually actually rostered in a lot of organizations, scored 13.7 dream points Sunday, while veteran TE Travis Kelce likewise stepped up in Rice's lack. Nevertheless, there is actually no very clear candidate to load the opportunity Rice leaves behind, making this a complicated turning to predict.It are going to likely be a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN games), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and Mecole Hardman. My enlightened guess on whom to target for imagination objectives would certainly be actually Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 along with 933 gardens on 78 receptions (with 3 goals), second simply to Kelce in those categories.Now, permit's study recently's waiver cable. Our experts'll begin along with a group of wide receivers that may potentially help you take care of Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a decent Week 4. Will he do the same in Week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York Jets (44.2% rostered): The Planes have slowly ramped up Williams' utilization over the past handful of full weeks as he comes back coming from in 2015's ACL personal injury. He do with 10.7 imagination aspects against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, posting a season-high 5 intendeds, 4 functions and 67 getting backyards. Right now is actually a fun time to add Williams, however always remember he is actually mainly playing in 11 staffs. While he's worth getting, you might certainly not would like to start him against the Minnesota Vikings in Full Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, New York Giants (27.1%): It's astonishing that Robinson isn't rostered in even more games. Daniel Jones counts intensely on each him and Malik Nabers. Robinson has actually observed eight-plus intendeds in three away from 4 video games, along with 2 activities of 12-plus aim ats. He has likewise slashed 12-plus dream points in three of the 4 games. He's firmly on the flex radar versus the Seat Seahawks in Full Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen went through a hamstring personal injury in Full week 3 against the Sin City Raiders as well as was actually placed on IR. This gave Legette an odds to receive more snaps and targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- as well as he took complete perk. He captured six of his 10 intendeds, racking up 19.6 imagination factors. The Panthers' offense seems revitalized with Andy Dalton at quarterback, producing Legette is actually a solid flex possibility in much deeper styles moving in to Full week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Respect the Commish Champion RingRecognize the devotion and also hard-earned authorization of your game's Commish with bling. Usage code FOCUS10 for 10% off your order. Outlet Currently.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has scored 15-plus dream factors and also found six-plus intendeds in pair of direct activities. He has additionally manage the second-most paths on his staff over that period. Along with Davante Adams noted as "week-to-week" due to a hamstring injury, Tucker must proceed playing a key role in the Raiders' death video game and also should be actually rostered. The Raiders deal with the Broncos in Week 5, as well as with Jakobi Meyers likely occupied against Dab Surtain II, Tucker stands to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Veggie Bay Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was actually dismissed due to a higher ankle joint sprain in the second quarter of Sunday's video game versus the Vikings. Wicks instantly stepped in as the starting pass receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and also rarely left the field. He do with 13 aims for and 24.8 fantasy aspects. It's worth noting that Jayden Splint, who possessed 8 aims for and also 27.1 imagination points, predominantly plays in three-WR collections. In Full week 5, Wicks encounters a Los Angeles Rams self defense that has surrendered the third-most WR imagination points per game. If Watson overlooks time, Wicks may be viewed as a high-end flex possibility. Otherwise, Wicks is even more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was a breakout prospect this summer months, however a preseason trauma took the wind out of his sails. He failed to make his regular-season launching up until Full week 3, but his 22.2 imagination aspects against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Full week 4 presented what he can do, especially along with Joe Flacco under facility. Downs matched Michael Pittman Jr. for the crew top along with 9 intendeds and also can possess more effective games in advance if Flacco starts while Anthony Richardson recoups from the hip accident he suffered Sunday. Downs is actually strongly on the flex radar for Full week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense has made it possible for the eighth-most WR fantasy points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) and also Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams along with 82 acquiring gardens on four catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington had even more celebrations (6 ). Both Atwell as well as Whittington submitted sound fantasy functionalities, each scoring 12.2 points. I favor Atwell, that has actually slashed 12-plus dream points in pair of straight video games. However, each cost factor in deeper layouts as well as should continue to be associated with the Rams' death video game till Cooper Kupp and also Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Ga Falcons (3.5%): McCloud ought to be on your radar in much deeper leagues. He has had five-plus aim ats and also 40-plus getting yards in three of his 4 activities this time. Functioning mainly coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that frequently manages 11 staffs. Remarkably, he is actually the second-most-targeted Atlanta georgia receiver when Kirk Cousins is struggling. Having said that, the Falcons position simply 22nd in passing tries per video game, which limits his fantasy ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 How Sam Darnold has helped Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks down how Sam Darnold has actually improved his as well as Justin Jefferson's imagination output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's awakening has been gorgeous to view. He has currently scored 19-plus dream factors in three straight activities, as yet he is actually amazingly still offered in several leagues. Darnold is actually thriving in scalp train Kevin O'Connell's outrageous plan, along with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as his top pair of recipients. He additionally stands out under the gun and also when blitzed, which is a beneficial attribute offered the significant increase in stress rates this period. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Full week 5 in Greater london against his previous team, the Jets.Justin Fields, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Specialization possessed a season-high 31.9 dream aspects versus the Colts on Sunday. He came to be the 1st gamer in Steelers history to throw for 300 passing yards, rush for 50 backyards as well as possess 2 hurrying credit ratings in a singular video game. He has now racked up 18-plus imagination ideas in successive activities. Along With the Dallas Cowboys protection taking care of several accidents heading right into Full week 5, Area could be considered a high-end QB2. Dallas surrenders the fourth-most QB imagination factors every activity, making this a really desirable matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence did do with a season-high 14.7 imagination points Sunday against the Houston Texans. In Full week 5, he deals with a Indianapolis Colts protection that has enabled only under twenty imagination aspects every video game to QBs. This match can be a great option for him to switch points all around, particularly along with Brian Thomas Jr., Religious Kirk and Gabe Davis as his leading three receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's fantasy functionality Sunday against the Bengals provided only 15.7 factors, which had not been as outstanding as his 24.5 points against the Raiders in Week 3. Nevertheless, he continues to be a dependable possibility for dream supervisors dealing with QB problems, specifically in superflex layouts. With upcoming competitions versus the Bears, Falcons and Commanders, Dalton could be deemed a low-end QB2 as supervisors navigate bye weeks.Joe Flacco, Indianapolis Colts (0.2%): Flacco showed he still possesses some magic left, slashing 15.0 imagination aspects versus the Steelers while filling in for Richardson, who harmed a hip in the very first quarter. It was actually rejuvenating to find a Colts quarterback effectively disperse the football. Already, it is actually vague whether Richardson's personal injury is actually serious, however it might be wise to certainly not rush him back, given his disparity. If Flacco starts in Full week 5 versus a Jaguars self defense that makes it possible for the second-most QB dream factors every activity, he could arrive on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Full week 5 fantasy outlookDaniel Dopp as well as Stephania Bell anticipate Bucky Irving to carry out properly in Week 5 despite accident concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (51.7%): I recognize Irving is rostered in just over 50% of games, but he ought to be your best RB intended if he is actually still accessible. Just before the Week 4 activity versus the Eagles, documents stated Irving would certainly obtain additional work-- and also he performed. Even with a hamstring problem, he had 11 touches and a season-high 12.5 dream factors. Rachaad White, that possessed gastrointestinal disorder the day just before the game, handled 12 touches as well as 10.4 fantasy points. Go get Irving.Braelon Allen, New York City Squirts (45.4%): Allen led the Squirts in rushing backyards on Sunday against the Broncos. The Planes' RB board seems to be to be securing up, with Allen completing the activity with 9 styles as well as 5.1 dream points, while Breece Venue had 12 styles and also only 2.8 aspects. It is actually also worth keeping in mind that Allen is actually receiving a higher portion of early-down snaps, likely to help handle Hall's amount of work. Regardless, Allen must be rostered almost everywhere and keeps standalone worth. If Hall misses whenever, the newbie will instantly get on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 contacts and also 13.1 fantasy points Thursday evening against the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both touches and fantasy points. The major concern is actually that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and also Deuce Vaughn are all obtaining snaps and also touches. That stated, with NFL staffs balancing 119.7 hurrying backyards every game (the absolute most with Week 4 this century) and the made thrill rate at 39.8% (the greatest since 2010), landing a starting RB off the disclaimer cord is still a terrific find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier finished with 10 flairs (for the second time this season) as well as 10.0 imagination aspects versus the Saints on Sunday. Thus far in 2024, he includes a much higher yards every surge as well as yards after connect with per attempt than Bijan Robinson. I am actually certainly not claiming Allgeier is going to supplant Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, yet it's crystal clear he has a part and also standalone worth in fantasy. If Robinson misses whenever, Allgeier will undoubtedly get on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Las Vegas Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield with 41.6 dream periods with 4 video games, regardless of possessing far fewer touches than Zamir White. He's a far better recipient away from the backfield as well as more trained at avoiding tackles. Mattison deserves a lot more touches. In Full week 5, the Raiders face a Broncos self defense that quits the eighth-most RB receptions every video game. This is key because, while the Broncos position third in run deter succeed fee, the Raiders' offensive line positions last in operate block succeed price. Mattison might locate themself heavily targeted against Denver.Kareem Quest, Kansas Area Chiefs (21.4%): Search racked up merely 10.5 fantasy aspects Sunday versus the Chargers, yet he led Kansas Urban area's backfield with 16 touches. It's additionally worth noting that Carson Steele shed a fumble early and also didn't play another piece of cake after that. The Chiefs have among the most explosive offenses, thus Search can be a beneficial fantasy option if he takes on more of the passing-game job together with hurrying roles. He should be actually rostered in each leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Container Bigsby is actually a beneficial enhancement to dream teamsEric Moody leads to anxiety around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why dream managers ought to incorporate Container Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with an impressive 90 rushing backyards on merely 7 attempts against the Texans, featuring a standout 58-yard jog. To place that in standpoint, that is actually much more than the fifty backyards Travis Etienne Jr. overtook his 11 efforts, although Etienne went through a shoulder trauma in the very first one-fourth. Bigsby has actually appeared excellent this period and, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, scalp coach Doug Pederson's chair is actually getting hotter. Do not be startled if Bigsby begins getting even more touches against the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Sermon, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's video game versus the Steelers as a result of a second-half ankle joint trauma. It is actually a moderate ankle sprain, but it is actually not clear if he'll any sort of skip opportunity. Taylor has averaged 19.5 touches every game this season. If he is actually out, Sermon is going to enter a crucial part behind an objectionable line that ranks second in run block gain cost. Additionally, in Full week 5, the Colts deal with a Jaguars protection that has given up the fourth-most RB fantasy points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has averaged 9.0 contacts per video game. He is actually a sound pick up in deeper layouts considering that the Patriots position 11th in rushing attempts per game. If Rhamondre Stevenson skips opportunity, Gibson might observe a huge workload, regardless of whether for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Despite The Fact That D'Andre Swift scored 23 contacts as well as 29.5 fantasy points versus the Rams on Sunday, Johnson seems to have actually protected the change-of-pace task. He submitted only 8.6 fantasy points, but participated in even more pops than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Industry Yates' attentionField Yates explains just how Tucker Kraft's options continue to grow in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft established period highs Sunday against the Vikings along with 9 targets, 6 receptions, 53 acquiring lawns as well as 17.3 imagination factors. Jordan Passion threw the ball 54 opportunities since the Packers were trailing all game long, yet Kraft's performance still forebodes effectively for when the Packers possess an additional well balanced strike. Up next in Week 5, Environment-friendly Gulf experiences the Rams-- a staff that has surrendered the fourth-most TE imagination aspects every game.Tyler Conklin, New York Planes (35.7%): The Broncos stopped the Jets' injustice Sunday, yet Conklin's engagement was actually an intense area, as he found eight targets. He ranks 3rd in routes work on the Planes this time and also uses a high percentage of breaks. In Full week 5, New york city encounters a Vikings defense that has actually made it possible for the 10th-most overall backyards every video game, offering Conklin a chance to keep involved.Cade Otton, Tampa fl Gulf Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been actually a rugged time for tight ends, along with just twenty goals racked up due to the placement-- on rate for the least by means of Week 4 because 1992. Something to details: Otton has actually scored 17 targets over recent 2 video games. He has actually also composed double-digit imagination factors in consecutive matchups. As our company move right into the bye full weeks, Otton is a sound streaming option for those in demand, especially Thursday evening against the Falcons.
