Notable Fantasy Football Questions Going into Week 5
- Does Cleveland's defense and ground game prove enough for Dillon Gabriel to start on the right foot in London?
- Can a beleaguered Baltimore squad come up with a plan to stay rolling with so many injuries?
- How will Miami split targets without Tyreek Hill? And the Giants without Malik Nabers?
- Will Denver's defense be able to force Philadelphia out of its comfort zone?
- Can Tennessee show any life, or does Tyjae Spears' addition just further dilute the mess?
- How do the Buccaneers mitigate Seattle's front with their patchwork offensive line and a Bucky Irving injury?
- Can the Chargers fare any better at protecting Justin Herbert after losing Joe Alt?
- Do the Lions score 50, 60, or 70 points against Cincy?
- Can New England's ground game get right against Buffalo's porous run unit?

Rest of Season Rankings Outlooks
Xavier Worthy, WR - KC (No. 37)
After missing two games with a torn labrum, Worthy returned to action this past weekend and looked like his former self. During their dominant victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the second-year wideout quickly reclaimed the top role in the passing catching room, catching five of his eight targets for 83 yards. He added 38 yards on two rushing attempts.
While Rashee Rice will return in Week 7 and slightly lower Worthy's target share, he should continue to carry WR2 upside on a weekly basis, given his elite speed. During his final seven games of the 2024 regular season (excluding Week 18), Worthy averaged an impressive 15.8 PPR points per game.
George Pickens, WR - DAL (No. 38)
Without CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens served as Dallas's clear No. 1 WR during their thrilling 40-40 tie against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday evening. In this game, Pickens brought in eight of his hefty 11 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns.
Even with Lamb on the field, Pickens was making a significant impact, tallying 17.8 PPR points in both Week 2 and Week 3. While Lamb remains sidelined, Pickens could push for low-end WR1 upside weekly. When he returns, Pickens should remain a focal point of the offense and carry strong WR2 value.
Quentin Johnston, WR - LAC (No. 49)
One of the biggest surprises this season has been WR Quentin Johnston. After an inconsistent first two seasons in the NFL, Johnston was not on the fantasy radar of many entering 2025. However, Johnston has enjoyed a Year 3 breakout and has emerged as Justin Herbert's go-to WR.
Through four games, the former first-round pick has caught 22 of his 36 targets for 337 yards and four touchdowns. Despite playing alongside Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen, Johnston has emerged as a must-start player in all formats.
Cam Skattebo, RB - NYG (No. 66)
Cam Skattebo was given a minimal role in Week 1 as he missed most of the preseason with a hamstring injury. However, in Week 2, Skattebo saw his workload significantly increase, and with the recent shoulder injury to Tyrone Tracy Jr., the rookie has taken over the New York backfield.
In their Week 4 victory over the Chargers, Skattebo led the way, taking 25 carries for 79 yards and bringing in both of his targets for 11 yards. Skattebo should continue to see a heavy workload going forward and will carry RB2 upside in all matchups.
