Matte boon
At different points during fantasy Football Due to season, injuries, by -week and braking news you may require reinforcement for your fantasy lineup. Every Friday in the 2025 NFL season, Matt Bowen will offer some week -week pickup options to help fill the holes that will emphasize the deep league.
Because of this, this column will mostly focus on players stopped in the ESPN League less than 50%, with topical exceptions.
with Jordan love And Kaleb Williams At Byes this week, we will start at the quarterback position, where I have two signal-colors that are ready to be picked up for the game’s week 5 slate. There is also a group of comprehensive receivers to discuss, as well as running back to Arizona with two potential replacement. Tray bensonAnd we will wrap it with several tight end options, as well as a available defense that can hit the quarterback.
Quarterback
Jackson dart, New York Giants (36.6% road; saints)
Dart’s ability to produce as a runner – on both designed carry and scramble attempts – leads a St.5 rank against a monk defense, giving 20.6 fantasy PPGs (fifth highest) to oppose quarterbacks. Dart threw only 111 yards away and scored a score in the victory of last week over the chargers, and we know that the Star Wide Receiver Malik nabers Below is for the season (ACL). But the dart 10 ended with a 54 yards race at 10 carries, adding a touchdown to a scripted draw scheme. Let’s bend this Sunday at dart’s dynamics, where he can distribute the ball as a passer. Wandel Robinson And Deryas slaton And look back to run back Cam skatebo As a bottom outlet.
Sam darnold, Seattle Seahawks (12.9% roasted; vs. bouquets)
It is actually cool on Daranold, but has an average of 16.2 ppg in its last three starts, with two touchdown throw in two. Now, the protection of Todd bowls has generated a pressure rate of 35.7% this season (seventh highest), which gives me some break. Bucs will speed up the internal clock of Daranold on Sunday. But they have the dynamics (if necessary), and seahawks to expand the aggressive coordinator Clint Kubik The shot-play will install its quarterback on the throw. If you play in a deep league, Daranold is worth a flight.
Comprehensive recipient
Malik Washington, Miami dolphin (16.0% rosard; in panthers)
Tirek hillThe season-ending knee injury opens the door to see a collision in reps and overall use for Washington. In Mike McDaniel’s crime, Washington has already been deployed as a speed/movement option, each of its last three matches in each of the last three matches – at least two carry – touch on screen, backfield alignment and more. Now, let’s get him more target volume in the root tree, especially on catch-end concepts. Washington fits as a deep-league WR3/Flex this week against panthers.
Troy franklin, Denver bronchos (42.3% road; Eagles)
Franklin receives a Phili Defense that ranks against opposing wide receivers in the middle of the pack, causing 32.2 fantasy PPG. Franklin has at least eight targets in two of their last three matches, and their root trees (33.0% vertical, 13.4% crossrs, 8.0% screen) create opportunities for large plays and numbers after catches.
Deryas slatonNew York Giant (26.2% Road; on saints)
With Nabers, Slaton’s role will increase in the game with veterans. But I will still influence some expectations here in a game script that can be more run-in-law with darts under the center. Slaton has a straight-line speed to test the third level of defense from boundary alignment (it was a 52-yard catch against Dallas in week 2), so you want to see some vertical throw on Sunday. In addition, Slaton can work in quick sports on hiccups and axis routes. He feels like a boom/bust WR3 this week against a monk defense that has left nine touchdown pass (tied the most to another in NFL).
Running back
Emery Damerado (50.5% road) and Michael Carter, Aerizona cardinal (24.9% roasted; vs Titans)
If you roster the tray benns (IR), this week is both Demarado and Carter viable filler-in. I would prefer to choose Damerado first, as he brings more juice on tape as a ball carrier, as well as here as the third-down back. Damrado had two receptions for 13 yards and had a touchdown against Seattle last week. But if Damrado has already been claimed in your league, Carter may be in line for a heavy charge on the initial down. Carter took an average of 3.5 YPC on 35 attempts in the previous season for cardinals, and he could give you sufficient backfield as a receiver on a checkdown throw.
Kendre Miller, New Orleans Saints (17.8% Rosard;
Miller’s weekly use is climbing, so let’s take a look at the number 2 of the monk, which is running back with veterans with a Sunday matchup. Miller had a touchdown at 65 yards at a distance of 65 yards and a touchdown to the bills last week, and now he posted a back-to-back game with at least nine touchs. Although Elvin Kamra The lead back remains in New Orleans, the Miller’s volume bump keeps it in the mixture as a deep-league flex play.

Is Brenton fantasy strange for a breakout in fantasy?
Field Yets, Daniel Dope and Stephania Bell discussed the height of Brenton Strange in Jaguar’s crime after the week.
Tight end
Brenton strange, Jacksonville jaguar (34.7% roasted; VS, Chief)
I mentioned the Strange last week, so let’s give him a complete writing here, as the tight end of the jags continues after the quality numbers. Strange with a double -point points in their last two matches, each with seven goals. And he drives a tree of full tight end route in Liam Koen’s crime. This is a tough matchup against the chiefs this week, but if Trevor laurence To throw over with more volume, the strange can produce top -12 numbers. If you roster then good pickup here Tucker craft Or Kyle Pits SRWhich are both weeks.
Darren wallerMiami Dolphin (36.9% Roasted; Panthers)
Waller played his first game of the season in the week 4 on Jets, holding three out of four goals for 27 yards, of which two out of two were accounting for touchdown (17.7 points). Waller played only 25% of Snap, so we are betting on the increase in use on Sunday. But with a positive matchup against panthers, Wallar can serve as a seam stretcher/red zone option for quarterbacks Tu tagovelloaAnd goals are available with hill out for the season.
D/s New York Giants (23.4% road; saints)
Let’s roll with this unit Spencer Ratler And saint. These giants can go home for defense quarterbacks, with at least two sacks in each game played, and they want to challenge man coverage. New York has played man coverage on 55.6% coverage Snaps-Son-Hai and 2-Man. And the veterans have at least one of their last three matches. The idea is to pressurize the ratler and squeeze the throwing windows. This can give rise to plays on the defensive side of the ball.
