The best remarkable one coming from Full week 4 is Kansas Metropolitan Area Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, who is been afraid of to have torn his best ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It's a massive draft for both the Chiefs and fantasy supervisors identical. Via the very first three full weeks, Rice led the rank with 24 celebrations and also stood top pair of in both lawns (288) as well as intendeds (32 ). Newbie WR Xavier Worthy, that is actually currently rostered in many organizations, racked up 13.7 fantasy aspects Sunday, while expert TE Travis Kelce additionally improved in Rice's lack. However, there's no crystal clear candidate to pack the job Rice leaves, creating this a difficult 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 taught guess on whom to target for fantasy reasons will be Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs recipients in 2022 with 933 gardens on 78 events (along with three goals), 2nd just to Kelce in those categories.Now, let's study recently's waiver wire. Our team'll begin along with a group of pass receivers that may likely help you manage Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a pretty good Full week 4. Will he carry out the exact same in Full week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York City Jets (44.2% rostered): The Planes have little by little increase Williams' use over recent couple of weeks as he returns coming from in 2013's ACL injury. He do with 10.7 dream aspects against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, submitting a season-high 5 aim ats, 4 receptions as well as 67 acquiring backyards. Right now is a blast to include Williams, yet bear in mind he's largely playing in 11 personnel. While he deserves getting, you could certainly not intend to begin him against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Wan' Dale Robinson, The Big Apple 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 viewed eight-plus aim ats in three out of 4 games, along with 2 games of 12-plus aim ats. He has actually likewise slashed 12-plus dream scores in three of the four video games. He's securely on the flex radar against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (25.0%): Adam Thielen suffered a hamstring personal injury in Week 3 versus the Sin City Raiders and was placed on IR. This offered Legette a possibility to receive additional snaps and also targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- and also he took complete benefit. He caught 6 of his 10 aim ats, racking up 19.6 dream points. The Panthers' offense looks to be revitalized with Andy Dalton at quarterback, making Legette is actually a strong flex choice in much deeper layouts heading into Week 5 against the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Regard the Commish Championship RingRecognize the dedication as well as hard-earned authority of your league's Commish along with bling. Make use of code FOCUS10 for 10% off your order. Store Currently.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually slashed 15-plus imagination points as well as viewed six-plus aim ats in 2 direct activities. He has likewise run the second-most options on his team over that stretch. Along with Davante Adams provided as "week-to-week" because of a hamstring personal injury, Tucker ought to continue participating in a vital function in the Raiders' death video game and also should be rostered. The Raiders encounter the Broncos in Week 5, as well as along with Jakobi Meyers very likely active against Pat Surtain II, Tucker stands to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Environment-friendly Bay Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was ruled out as a result of a high ankle strain in the second one-fourth of Sunday's video game versus the Vikings. Wicks promptly actioned in as the beginning wide receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and also hardly ever left behind the area. He finished with 13 aims for and also 24.8 dream aspects. It deserves taking note that Jayden Reed, who had 8 aims for and 27.1 imagination factors, primarily plays in three-WR collections. In Full week 5, Wicks deals with a Los Angeles Rams defense that has actually given up the third-most WR dream scores per activity. If Watson skips time, Wicks may be considered as a premium flex alternative. Otherwise, Wicks is actually more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was actually a breakout candidate this summer, but a preseason trauma took the wind out of his sails. He really did not create his regular-season launching until Week 3, yet his 22.2 fantasy factors versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 presented what he can possibly do, specifically with Joe Flacco under center. Downs matched Michael Pittman Jr. for the team top along with 9 aim ats as well as could have a lot more productive activities ahead of time if Flacco begins while Anthony Richardson recuperates coming from the hip accident he suffered Sunday. Downs is actually securely on the flex radar for Full week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense has enabled the eighth-most WR dream points.Quick hitsTutu Atwell (7.0%) and Jordan Whittington (3.8%), Los Angeles Rams: Atwell led the Rams with 82 receiving gardens on 4 catches against the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington had much more receptions (6 ). Both Atwell and also Whittington submitted solid imagination functionalities, each scoring 12.2 points. I choose Atwell, that has actually slashed 12-plus dream ideas in two direct games. However, both deserve point to consider in much deeper styles and should remain involved in the Rams' death game up until Cooper Kupp as well as Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Falcons (3.5%): McCloud ought to be on your radar in much deeper games. He has possessed five-plus aim ats and 40-plus acquiring yards in three of his 4 games this period. Operating predominantly coming from the port, he plays in a Falcons offense that frequently manages 11 workers. Remarkably, he's the second-most-targeted Atlanta ga receiver when Kirk Cousins is actually under pressure. Nevertheless, the Falcons rate just 22nd in passing efforts per video game, which limits his fantasy ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 Just how Sam Darnold has actually assisted Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks down how Sam Darnold has actually enhanced his and Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has actually been gorgeous to check out. He has now scored 19-plus fantasy points in 3 forthright games, as yet he is actually incredibly still available in several leagues. Darnold is actually flourishing in head instructor Kevin O'Connell's offensive program, along with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his best pair of recipients. He likewise succeeds struggling and also when blitzed, which is an important trait given the significant rise in stress rates this period. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Week 5 in London versus his former group, the Jets.Justin Fields, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Specialization possessed a season-high 31.9 fantasy points versus the Colts on Sunday. He ended up being the initial player in Steelers past history to throw for 300 passing lawns, surge for 50 lawns and possess 2 rushing scores in a singular game. He has currently racked up 18-plus imagination ideas in successive video games. Along With the Dallas Cowboys protection managing a number of injuries heading right into Full week 5, Area could be considered a high-end QB2. Dallas quits the fourth-most QB imagination factors every game, making this a quite ideal matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence performed finish with a season-high 14.7 fantasy points Sunday versus the Houston Texans. In Week 5, he experiences a Indianapolis Colts defense that has made it possible for only under twenty imagination aspects every game to QBs. This competition may be a terrific option for him to transform points all around, specifically with Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis as his best 3 receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's dream performance Sunday against the Bengals provided just 15.7 aspects, which wasn't as exceptional as his 24.5 points against the Raiders in Full week 3. Having said that, he remains a dependable choice for dream supervisors handling QB issues, particularly in superflex formats. With upcoming matchups versus the Bears, Falcons as well as Commanders, Dalton can be considered as 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 imagination points against the Steelers while filling in for Richardson, who harmed a hip in the first region. It was rejuvenating to observe a Colts quarterback efficiently disperse the regulation football. As of now, it is actually uncertain whether Richardson's injury is actually significant, however it might be a good idea to certainly not hurry him back, given his incongruity. If Flacco starts in Full week 5 against a Jaguars defense that makes it possible for the second-most QB imagination factors every activity, he might arrive on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Full week 5 imagination outlookDaniel Dopp and also Stephania Bell expect Bucky Irving to carry out properly in Full week 5 even with accident concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa bay Gulf Buccaneers (51.7%): I know Irving is actually rostered in merely over fifty% of leagues, however he ought to be your leading RB aim at if he is actually still readily available. Just before the Week 4 activity against the Eagles, records said Irving will acquire more work-- as well as he carried out. Despite having a hamstring concern, he had 11 contacts and a season-high 12.5 imagination aspects. Rachaad White, that had food poisoning the time prior to the activity, dealt with 12 contacts and 10.4 fantasy points. Go acquire Irving.Braelon Allen, The Big Apple Squirts (45.4%): Allen led the Sprays in hurrying gardens on Sunday versus the Broncos. The Jets' RB committee seems to become securing up, with Allen completing the video game along with 9 flairs as well as 5.1 dream aspects, while Breece Venue had 12 styles and simply 2.8 points. It is actually also worth noting that Allen is actually obtaining a higher amount of early-down snaps, likely to assist take care of Hall's amount of work. Regardless, Allen ought to be actually rostered all over as well as stores standalone value. If Venue overlooks at any time, the newbie is going to quickly be on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 contacts and also 13.1 dream points Thursday evening against the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both touches and also imagination aspects. The main issue is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and also Deuce Vaughn are actually all receiving snaps and also touches. That mentioned, with NFL crews balancing 119.7 rushing lawns every activity (one of the most by means of Full week 4 this century) and the made thrill cost at 39.8% (the highest possible given that 2010), landing a beginning RB off the disclaimer cable is still a fantastic find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier do with 10 flairs (for the second time this season) as well as 10.0 dream aspects versus the Saints on Sunday. Thus far in 2024, he flaunts a higher gardens per surge as well as gardens after contact every effort than Bijan Robinson. I'm certainly not stating Allgeier will definitely supplant Robinson in the Falcons' RB committee, but it's crystal clear he possesses a function and also standalone value in fantasy. If Robinson misses whenever, Allgeier is going to undoubtedly be on the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield along with 41.6 imagination moments through four games, regardless of having less touches than Zamir White. He is actually a far better receiver away from the backfield and even more experienced at avoiding attacks. Mattison should have more touches. In Full week 5, the Raiders encounter a Broncos defense that gives up the eighth-most RB receptions every game. This is actually key considering that, while the Broncos rate 3rd in operate deter succeed fee, the Raiders' repulsive line places final in run block succeed price. Mattison might locate themself highly targeted against Denver.Kareem Pursuit, Kansas Area Chiefs (21.4%): Hunt scored just 10.5 fantasy factors Sunday against the Chargers, but he led Kansas Metropolitan area's backfield along with 16 contacts. It's also worth taking note that Carson Steele dropped a fumble early and failed to participate in another piece of cake afterwards. The Chiefs possess some of the absolute most eruptive offenses, thus Pursuit can be a beneficial dream option if he handles more of the passing-game role along with hurrying responsibilities. He should be rostered in every leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Tank Bigsby is actually an important addition to dream teamsEric Moody points to anxiety around Travis Etienne's shoulder in order to why fantasy managers need to incorporate Tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars with a remarkable 90 hurrying gardens on simply seven attempts against the Texans, including a standout 58-yard jog. To put that in point of view, that's much more than the fifty backyards Travis Etienne Jr. reached his 11 efforts, although Etienne experienced a shoulder trauma in the 1st quarter. Bigsby has appeared excellent this time and, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, head instructor Doug Pederson's seat is actually receiving hotter. Do not be surprised if Bigsby begins acquiring even more contacts against the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Preaching, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left behind Sunday's video game against the Steelers due to a second-half ankle joint personal injury. It is a mild ankle sprain, but it is actually unclear if he'll any kind of overlook time. Taylor has averaged 19.5 touches every activity this period. If he is out, Homily will certainly step into an essential job responsible for an offensive line that places 2nd in operate block gain fee. Additionally, in Week 5, the Colts experience a Jaguars protection that has actually lost hope the fourth-most RB fantasy points.Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots (29.3% rostered): Gibson has actually balanced 9.0 contacts every activity. He's a strong pickup in deeper styles due to the fact that the Patriots rank 11th in rushing attempts per activity. If Rhamondre Stevenson misses out on time, Gibson could see a significant amount of work, even when for an underwhelming offense.Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears (13.4%): Even though D'Andre Swift acquired 23 contacts and also 29.5 imagination factors against the Rams on Sunday, Johnson appears to have protected the change-of-pace job. He published just 8.6 fantasy points, but participated in additional pops than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft possesses Area Yates' attentionField Yates details exactly how Tucker Kraft's options continue to increase in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Eco-friendly Bay Packers (4.5%): Kraft prepared period highs Sunday against the Vikings with 9 aims for, 6 events, 53 receiving yards and also 17.3 fantasy factors. Jordan Passion tossed the reception 54 times since the Packers were tracking all video game long, however Kraft's functionality still bodes properly for when the Packers possess a more well balanced assault. Up next in Full week 5, Eco-friendly Bay experiences the Rams-- a crew that has actually quit the fourth-most TE dream aspects per game.Tyler Conklin, New York Jets (35.7%): The Broncos stopped the Planes' affront Sunday, however Conklin's engagement was a vivid place, as he viewed 8 targets. He rates 3rd in paths run on the Jets this season and uses a higher amount of breaks. In Week 5, New york city encounters a Vikings protection that has enabled the 10th-most total lawns per activity, offering Conklin a chance to remain involved.Cade Otton, Tampa florida Gulf Buccaneers (6.2%): It has actually been actually a tough period for cramping sides, with only 20 goals scored due to the placement-- on pace for the fewest through Full week 4 since 1992. The main thing to note: Otton has scored 17 targets over the past two games. He has actually also scored double-digit fantasy factors in successive competitions. As our team move into the bye full weeks, Otton is actually a sound streaming alternative for those in demand, particularly Thursday evening against the Falcons.
