Tank Bigsby, RB, Jaguars (Priority: Very High)
Tank Bigsby continues to out-produce Travis Etienne. Bigsby had 13 carries compared to Etienne’s six last week.
Tyrone Tracy, RB, Giants (Priority: Very High)
Tyrone Tracy was excellent versus Seattle. Devin Singletary will return soon, but Tracy earned a larger workload when that happens.
JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Chiefs (Priority: High)
JuJu Smith-Schuster caught seven passes for 130 yards against New Orleans, doing his best impression of Rashee Rice. Smith-Schuster is the natural replacement for Rice, so he could continue to be productive. Just keep in mind that this was a great matchup for him, so I wouldn’t expect 7-130 each week.
Josh Downs, WR, Colts (Priority: Medium)
Josh Downs just went 8-for-82 and a touchdown in Week 4 and then 9-of-69 in Week 5. Joe Flacco seemed to love throwing to him, though Anthony Richardson could return soon.
Tre Tucker, WR, Raiders (Priority: Medium)
Tre Tucker didn’t do much against the Broncos, but he’ll be in for a larger target share if Davante Adams is traded, as expected.
Jaylen Wright, RB, Dolphins (Priority: Medium-Low)
Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright split the workload once De’Von Achane was knocked out with a concussion. Wright was much more explosive. Achane could return soon, but he’s very brittle, so owning Wright could pay dividends.
Ty Chandler, RB, Vikings (Priority: Medium-Low)
Aaron Jones hurt his hip, so Ty Chandler should be added. Keep in mind, however, that the Vikings have a bye coming up, and Chandler isn’t very good.
Breece Hall, RB, Jets
Breece Hall has struggled lately, but he’s had some tough matchups. He should be able to bounce back soon.
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals
Marvin Harrison Jr. is coming off a disappointing 2-36 line, but he saw seven targets and should be able to rebound.
Chris Olave, WR, Saints
Chris Olave barely did anything against the Chiefs, but Kansas City is a team that frequently shuts down No. 1 receivers because of constant double teams.
Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers
Deebo Samuel caught only one pass versus the Cardinals. He’s too good not to rebound from this poor performance.
Derrick Henry, RB, Ravens
Derrick Henry has battled two of the worst run defenses over the past couple of weeks entering Week 5. He’s an older player who will wear down later in the year.
D’Andre Swift, RB, Bears
D’Andre Swift just had a rare great performance for the second week in a row. Try to unload him as quickly as possible because he just had his two easiest matchups of the year.
Jordan Whittington, WR, Rams
Jordan Whittington is coming off two strong performances, but Cooper Kupp is due back for the Rams’ next game. Kupp and Whittington play the same role.
Darius Slayton, WR, Giants
Darius Slayton just had a monster game, but his target share will plummet when Malik Nabers returns.
Zamir White, RB, Raiders
Zamir White continues to suck, and his fumble returned for a touchdown might be the final straw. Alexander Mattison was more impressive versus the Browns.
