Week 5 Fantasy Football News and Outlooks

Dillon Gabriel, Cleveland Browns

According to Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel is getting the start on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Joe Flacco will remain the backup while Shedeur Sanders will remain the QB3. Flacco has struggled mightily this year, throwing only two touchdowns to six interceptions through four games with two fumbles lost. With the Browns sitting at a 1-3 record, they appear ready to start seeing what they have in third-round rookie Gabriel. In Gabriel's final season at Oregon, he threw for 3,857 yards and 30 touchdowns, adding seven rushing touchdowns in 14 starts and leading the Ducks to a Big Ten Championship.

He also had a career-high completion percentage of 72.9 percent. The rookie played well in the preseason and was 3-for-4 for 19 yards and a touchdown in limited regular-season action. Currently, Gabriel is a bench stash in leagues that start two quarterbacks or a superflex league. The Vikings' defense on Sunday will be a good test for Gabriel to see what he's got.

TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson remains the future of the team's backfield, but his ascension to the No. 1 role is taking a little longer than expected. The Ohio State product played a season-low 31 percent of the snaps this past Sunday, which was a significant reduction from his 46 percent snap share just a week earlier. Furthermore, he caught two passes along the way, which was also a season- and career-low. All in all, the Patriots continue to use Rhamondre Stevenson more than Henderson, and they've also mixed in some rushing attempts for Drake Maye and Antonio Gibson.

Until he's the clear-cut No. 1 running back on a weekly basis, Henderson deserves to be benched in fantasy football. From a waiver wire perspective, though, he's an interesting candidate to be added in leagues with at least 12 teams, especially since he could blossom into New England's lead back by midseason. He's a top waiver wire target for Week 5.

Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten has been efficient on his touches throughout the first four weeks of his career. He has 21 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown while securing three of four targets for 40 yards and another touchdown. The speedster has been among the best in the league at avoiding negative runs, but the explosive runs have not been there yet.

He's served as the No. 2 back mostly to Travis Etienne Jr., while rookie LeQuint Allen has also mixed in here and there. Head coach Liam Coen has used him in creative ways in the red zone and also gave him a goal-line carry for a touchdown in Week 3. The workload and snap share haven't increased significantly yet, but they will likely grow as the season progresses. With his big-play ability, he could be a league-winner down the stretch.

Cam Skattebo, New York Giants

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo recorded 90 yards from scrimmage on 27 total touches in his team's Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It was the first full game for New York without running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder), who is facing a multi-week absence after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 3.

As long as Tracy Jr. remains sidelined, Skattebo could be in line for a significant number of touches. Overall, the 23-year-old has logged 279 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 48 carries and 12 receptions through the first four games of his NFL career. Heading into a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, Skattebo can likely be considered a must-start fantasy running back.
