Produce a league with friends and family, or join a public game. Your champion run begins today! Sign Up Now >>Traumas continue to ravage across the organization. One of the most significant one from Full week 4 is Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, who is actually been afraid of to have torn his correct ACL on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. It's a substantial blow for both the Chiefs and imagination supervisors identical. Through the initial 3 weeks, Rice led the circle with 24 functions as well as stood top pair of in both backyards (288) and targets (32 ). Newbie WR Xavier Worthy, that is already rostered in many organizations, racked up 13.7 imagination aspects Sunday, while pro TE Travis Kelce additionally improved in Rice's lack. Having said that, there's no crystal clear applicant to fill the vacancy Rice leaves behind, creating this a difficult turning to predict.It will likely be actually a mix of JuJu Smith-Schuster (rostered in 0.7% of ESPN games), Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, and also Mecole Hardman. My educated guess on whom to target for dream objectives would be Smith-Schuster. He led Chiefs receivers in 2022 with 933 lawns on 78 celebrations (along with three goals), 2nd just to Kelce in those categories.Now, let's dive into this week's disclaimer cable. Our team'll start along with a group of wide receivers who may possibly aid you deal with Rice's absence.Mike Williams possessed a decent Week 4. Will he perform the same in Week 5? Vincent Carchietta-Imagn ImagesMike Williams, New York Planes (44.2% rostered): The Jets have slowly ramped up Williams' use over recent handful of full weeks as he comes back from in 2013's ACL injury. He completed with 10.7 imagination factors against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, posting a season-high 5 intendeds, 4 events and 67 receiving gardens. Right now is actually a great time to add Williams, yet remember he's mainly playing in 11 personnel. While he costs grabbing, you might certainly not would like to begin him versus 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 additional leagues. Daniel Jones relies highly on each him and also Malik Nabers. Robinson has found eight-plus targets in three out of 4 video games, along with 2 video games of 12-plus intendeds. He has actually additionally scored 12-plus fantasy points in 3 of the four activities. He's securely on the flex radar versus the Seattle Seahawks in 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 and also was placed on IR. This gave Legette an opportunity to get more snaps and targets against the Cincinnati Bengals-- and he took total benefit. He captured 6 of his 10 targets, racking up 19.6 fantasy aspects. The Panthers' outburst seems revitalized along with Andy Dalton at quarterback, helping make Legette is a solid flex possibility in deeper layouts moving into Full week 5 versus the Chicago Bears.Introducing the ESPN Appreciation the Commish Champion RingRecognize the dedication and also hard-earned authority of your organization's Commish along with bling. Make use of code FOCUS10 for 10% off your purchase. Shop Now.Tre Tucker, Las Vegas Raiders (10.2%): Tucker has actually slashed 15-plus imagination factors as well as seen six-plus targets in pair of direct games. He has likewise run the second-most courses on his staff over that stretch. Along with Davante Adams noted as "week-to-week" due to a hamstring personal injury, Tucker should carry on playing an essential duty in the Raiders' passing activity as well as need to be actually rostered. The Raiders face the Broncos in Full week 5, as well as with Jakobi Meyers most likely busy versus Pat Surtain II, Tucker endures to benefit.Dontayvion Wicks, Green Gulf Packers (9.5%): Christian Watson was actually ruled out due to a higher ankle strain in the 2nd one-fourth of Sunday's video game against the Vikings. Wicks promptly stepped in as the starting pass receiver contrary Romeo Doubs (25.2%) and hardly left the field. He do with thirteen targets and also 24.8 fantasy aspects. It costs taking note that Jayden Reed, that had eight aims for and 27.1 imagination factors, predominantly plays in three-WR collections. In Full week 5, Wicks deals with a Los Angeles Rams self defense that has actually lost hope the third-most WR fantasy scores every game. If Watson skips opportunity, Wicks may be viewed as a high-end flex choice. Or even, Wicks is actually more of a WR4.Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (8.8%): Downs was a breakout candidate this summer season, however a preseason trauma took the wind out of his sails. He really did not make his regular-season launching till Full week 3, yet his 22.2 imagination points versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Full week 4 presented what he can do, particularly along with Joe Flacco under facility. Downs tied Michael Pittman Jr. for the team top with nine intendeds and could possibly have even more efficient video games ahead of time if Flacco starts while Anthony Richardson bounces back from the hip personal injury he went through Sunday. Downs is actually firmly on the flex radar for Week 5 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose self defense has actually permitted 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 acquiring yards on 4 catches versus the Bears on Sunday, while Whittington possessed extra functions (6 ). Each Atwell and Whittington posted strong dream performances, each slashing 12.2 points. I like Atwell, who has slashed 12-plus dream points in two direct activities. Nonetheless, both deserve factor to consider in much deeper layouts and should remain involved in the Rams' passing away activity till Cooper Kupp as well as Puka Nacua return.Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta Georgia Falcons (3.5%): McCloud needs to get on your radar in much deeper leagues. He has possessed five-plus targets and also 40-plus acquiring yards in 3 of his four games this season. Running largely from the slot, he plays in a Falcons outburst that regularly manages 11 personnel. Fascinatingly, he is actually the second-most-targeted Atlanta ga recipient when Kirk Cousins is struggling. Nonetheless, the Falcons position just 22nd in passing efforts every video game, which limits his imagination ceiling.Quarterbacksplay1:17 Exactly how Sam Darnold has actually aided Justin Jefferson in fantasyField Yates breaks how Sam Darnold has actually enhanced his and also Justin Jefferson's imagination output.Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings (43.6%): Darnold's revival has actually been actually awesome to view. He has actually currently scored 19-plus fantasy points in 3 trustworthy activities, yet he's incredibly still accessible in several organizations. Darnold is actually thriving in head instructor Kevin O'Connell's annoying plan, with Justin Jefferson as well as Jordan Addison as his best pair of receivers. He also stands out under the gun as well as when blitzed, which is actually a useful characteristic given the significant rise in stress rates this season. Darnold performs the QB1 radar for Week 5 in Greater london against his previous team, the Jets.Justin Specialization, Pittsburgh Steelers (34.0%): Fields had a season-high 31.9 dream aspects versus the Colts on Sunday. He became the 1st gamer in Steelers past history to toss for 300 passing yards, thrill for 50 backyards and also have 2 rushing credit ratings in a solitary activity. He has currently racked up 18-plus fantasy ideas in successive video games. Along With the Dallas Cowboys defense handling many traumas moving in to Week 5, Area could be considered a high-end QB2. Dallas surrenders the fourth-most QB fantasy factors every game, creating this an incredibly beneficial matchup.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (33.2% rostered): Lawrence performed finish with a season-high 14.7 fantasy points Sunday against the Houston Texans. In Full week 5, he encounters a Indianapolis Colts self defense that has actually permitted merely under twenty fantasy aspects every game to QBs. This matchup could be a wonderful opportunity for him to transform points around, specifically along with Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk as well as Gabe Davis as his leading 3 receivers.Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers (8.9%): Dalton's fantasy performance Sunday against the Bengals generated just 15.7 aspects, which had not been as exceptional as his 24.5 points versus the Raiders in Full week 3. Having said that, he continues to be a dependable alternative for imagination supervisors dealing with QB problems, particularly in superflex formats. With upcoming competitions versus the Bears, Falcons as well as Commanders, Dalton could 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 injured or hurt a hip in the initial region. It was actually rejuvenating to see a Colts quarterback efficiently distribute the football. Currently, it is actually uncertain whether Richardson's personal injury is actually serious, yet it could be wise to certainly not hurry him back, given his variance. If Flacco begins in Full week 5 versus a Jaguars protection that makes it possible for the second-most QB imagination factors every video game, he can come down on the QB2 radar.Running backsplay0:49 Bucky Irving's Week 5 imagination outlookDaniel Dopp and Stephania Bell anticipate Bucky Irving to accomplish properly in Week 5 in spite of injury concerns.Bucky Irving, Tampa bay Gulf Buccaneers (51.7%): I know Irving is rostered in merely over 50% of organizations, yet he must be your top RB target if he is actually still on call. Just before the Full week 4 activity against the Eagles, documents stated Irving would get additional job-- and he did. Despite having a hamstring problem, he had 11 touches and a season-high 12.5 dream factors. Rachaad White, that had gastrointestinal disorder the time prior to the game, managed 12 touches and also 10.4 imagination aspects. Go get Irving.Braelon Allen, Nyc Sprays (45.4%): Allen led the Spurts in rushing yards on Sunday against the Broncos. The Jets' RB board seems to be to become securing up, with Allen completing the video game along with 9 styles and also 5.1 fantasy points, while Breece Venue had 12 flairs and merely 2.8 points. It's additionally worth keeping in mind that Allen is actually getting a higher amount of early-down snaps, probably to help take care of Venue's workload. Irrespective, Allen must be actually rostered all over as well as keeps standalone value. If Hall overlooks whenever, the rookie will right away get on the RB1 radar.Rico Dowdle, Dallas Cowboys (43.3%): Dowdle had a season-high 12 touches and 13.1 fantasy factors Thursday night against the Giants. He leads the Cowboys backfield in both contacts and also fantasy points. The major issue is that Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn are actually all getting snaps and also touches. That pointed out, along with NFL groups averaging 119.7 rushing backyards per activity (one of the most through Week 4 this century) and the designed surge price at 39.8% (the highest possible because 2010), landing a starting RB off the disclaimer cord is actually still an excellent find.Editor's Picks1 RelatedTyler Allgeier, Atlanta Ga Falcons (41.7%): Allgeier do with 10 touches (for the 2nd opportunity this time) as well as 10.0 dream aspects versus the Saints on Sunday. So far in 2024, he flaunts a higher lawns every rush and also yards after contact per effort than Bijan Robinson. I'm not mentioning Allgeier is going to replace Robinson in the Falcons' RB board, however it is actually very clear he has a part as well as standalone value in dream. If Robinson skips whenever, Allgeier is going to most definitely perform the RB1 radar.Alexander Mattison, Sin city Raiders (30.6%): Mattison leads the Raiders backfield along with 41.6 fantasy point in times by means of four video games, regardless of possessing far fewer contacts than Zamir White. He's a much better receiver away from the backfield and more competent at staying away from confronts. Mattison ought to have even more touches. In Week 5, the Raiders encounter a Broncos defense that surrenders the eighth-most RB receptions every activity. This is actually essential considering that, while the Broncos rank 3rd in operate deter win price, the Raiders' annoying line places final in operate block gain fee. Mattison might discover themself heavily targeted versus Denver.Kareem Pursuit, Kansas City Chiefs (21.4%): Pursuit racked up merely 10.5 imagination aspects Sunday against the Chargers, yet he led Kansas Area's backfield with 16 touches. It's additionally worth taking note that Carson Steele shed a fumble early and also failed to participate in yet another snap afterwards. The Chiefs have among the most eruptive offenses, thus Hunt can be an important imagination option if he takes on additional of the passing-game part together with rushing tasks. He ought to be actually rostered in every leagues.Quick hitsplay1:06 Why Tank Bigsby is a useful addition to dream teamsEric Moody indicates anxiety around Travis Etienne's shoulder regarding why imagination managers should add Tank Bigsby.Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.4%): Bigsby led the Jaguars along with a remarkable 90 rushing yards on merely seven tries against the Texans, including a standout 58-yard run. To put that in standpoint, that's more than the fifty yards Travis Etienne Jr. reached his 11 tries, although Etienne experienced a shoulder accident in the initial fourth. Bigsby has actually looked fantastic this season and, along with the Jaguars resting at 0-4, head instructor Doug Pederson's seat is actually acquiring hotter. Do not be actually startled if Bigsby begins acquiring extra contacts against the Colts in Full week 5. Trey Homily, Indianapolis Colts (0.8%): Jonathan Taylor left Sunday's activity against the Steelers due to a second-half ankle joint injury. It is actually a mild ankle joint sprain, but it is actually not clear if he'll any kind of skip opportunity. Taylor has actually balanced 19.5 touches every game this time. If he is actually out, Sermon is going to enter a vital job responsible for an outrageous line that positions 2nd in run block gain rate. Also, in Full week 5, the Colts experience 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 solid pick-up in much deeper styles considering that the Patriots rank 11th in rushing tries per activity. If Rhamondre Stevenson overlooks time, Gibson could possibly observe a huge amount of work, even if 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 appears to have actually secured the change-of-pace part. He submitted merely 8.6 imagination points, but played even more snaps than Khalil Herbert.Tight endsplay0:34 Why Tucker Kraft has Industry Yates' attentionField Yates details how Tucker Kraft's options remain to increase in the Packers' offense.Tucker Kraft, Environment-friendly Gulf Packers (4.5%): Kraft established season highs Sunday against the Vikings along with 9 targets, 6 receptions, 53 obtaining gardens as well as 17.3 imagination factors. Jordan Love tossed the reception 54 opportunities considering that the Packers were actually routing all activity long, yet Kraft's efficiency still bodes well for when the Packers have an additional balanced strike. Up next in Week 5, Veggie Gulf faces the Rams-- a crew that has actually surrendered the fourth-most TE dream factors every game.Tyler Conklin, New york city Jets (35.7%): The Broncos stopped the Planes' injustice Sunday, however Conklin's participation was actually a brilliant place, as he found eight targets. He positions 3rd in courses run on the Jets this period and also uses a higher amount of snaps. In Full week 5, New York encounters a Vikings defense that has made it possible for the 10th-most complete backyards every activity, giving Conklin a chance to keep involved.Cade Otton, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (6.2%): It has been a tough period for tight sides, along with merely twenty touchdowns scored by the setting-- on rate for the fewest with Week 4 because 1992. Something to keep in mind: Otton has actually acquired 17 targets over the past two video games. He has actually additionally composed double-digit dream points in successive matches. As our team move right into the bye full weeks, Otton is a strong streaming option for those in demand, particularly Thursday evening against the Falcons.
