• Malik Nabers is out, so Wan’Dale Robinson jumps to WR30. He is a great FLEX play on volume alone this week, as he could flirt with a 35+% target share.
• Michael Pittman/Josh Downs: Both become viable in PPR formats if Flacco starts (expected, game-time decision), with Pittman at WR18 and Downs at WR23. The matchup is beatable, and with Jonathan Taylor missing time, both pass-catchers should be busy all game long.
• Khalil Shakir is set to miss Week 5. In his absence, Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid should see more targets. I am not throwing Coleman in my lineups no matter what though. He is my WR33 on the week with such a wide range of outcomes, but he does have some BOOM potential if you are in a bind and need an upside FLEX play. Kincaid is the player who should benefit most from Shakir’s missing time.
• Romeo Doubs could miss Week 5, and this is on top of Christian Watson already being expected to miss a few weeks. This pushes Dontayvion Wicks to WR22. Wicks is a do-it-all player who can run a complete route tree and win at every level of the field. A popular breakout candidate this offseason, Wicks could be in for a strong week.
