Harold Fannin Jr. Emerging as a Top Red-Zone Target in Cleveland
Four games into his 2026 campaign, Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has recorded 17 catches for 153 yards and three touchdowns on 23 targets. Heading into Week 5, Fannin Jr. currently ranks as the TE7 in overall PPR fantasy scoring and the TE8 on a per-game basis. The 22-year-old has recorded back-to-back games with a touchdown catch and has seen at least five targets in three consecutive contests. Cleveland has gotten solid production from rookie wide receivers KC Concepcion Jr. and Denzel Boston, which could threaten to take some work off Fannin Jr.'s plate. Still, the Browns offense has been surprisingly competent overall this season, and Fannin Jr. appears to be emerging as a preferred red zone option for Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson. As long as he stays healthy, Fannin Jr. profiles as a solid top-12 tight end option for fantasy managers.

Drake London Re-Emerging as a Potential High-End WR1 Option
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London got off to a rough start to the 2026 season, recording just six catches for 80 yards on 10 targets across his first two games. However, London has been a completely different player since the Falcons got starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. back from injury in Week 3. Over the past two weeks, London has hauled in 14 catches for 300 yards on 16 targets. Even with the slow start and his lack of touchdown luck so far, London ranks as the WR14 in PPR scoring. The 25-year-old has been targeted on 35.6% of Penix Jr.'s pass attempts, so his production could reach an even higher level if Atlanta is forced into some more pass-heavy game scripts in the weeks to come. As long as he stays healthy, London carries top-12 wide receiver upside for fantasy managers going forward.

Can Rome Odunze Build on Solid Week 4 Performance?
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has largely underperformed preseason expectations so far in 2026, recording 14 catches for 233 yards on 20 targets across four games. However, the 24-year-old is coming off his best game of the season in Week 4, hauling in six receptions for 94 yards on seven targets against the New York Jets. Week 4 was Chicago's first game with backup quarterback Tyson Bagent under center. Bagent is set to make another start in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers, which could be a good thing for Odunze's production. Bears QB1 Caleb Williams (hamstring) should also be back from his hamstring injury within the next few weeks, which obviously raises the ceiling of Odunze and the rest of the Bears' pass-catchers. As the Bears offense gets healthier, Odunze could re-establish himself as a top-24 wide receiver for fantasy managers.

Ollie Gordon II Moving Toward Clear RB1 Status in Miami
A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has spent most of his career to this point in a reserve role. However, with star Dolphins back De'Von Achane (knee) out for the remainder of 2026 after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 3, Gordon II could be in position to take over the RB1 role in Miami. Gordon II had a big day in Miami's first full game without Achane in Week 4, recording nine carries for 100 yards and a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings. While the Dolphins also gave backfield work to Jaylen Wright (foot) in Week 4, Gordon II was clearly the more productive of the two backs. Heading into Week 5, Wright is battling a foot injury and may not even be active for the Dolphins' upcoming matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. If Gordon II plays well for a second straight week against the Bengals, he could cement himself as the clear lead back for the Dolphins.

Bhayshul Tuten Could Be on the Verge of a Breakout Season
Across four games so far in 2026, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has recorded 60 carries for 277 yards and two touchdowns. Tuten has split rushing work to some degree with fellow Jaguars back Chris Rodriguez Jr., who has tallied 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns this season. However, Tuten has emerged as the clear lead back in Jacksonville in recent weeks, recording back-to-back games with at least 17 touches and 90 yards from scrimmage in Weeks 3 and 4. The 23-year-old currently ranks as the RB15 in half-PPR scoring and could only be on his way up as the season progresses. As long as Jacksonville's key offensive pieces around him stay healthy, Tuten profiles as a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside for fantasy managers going forward.

Jaylen Wright Back on Injury Report With Foot Injury
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (foot) was added to the Week 5 injury report with a foot injury on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant in practice, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. It remains to be seen if Wright had a setback with a foot injury that caused him to miss the Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but we should have a better idea of his status for this weekend's contest at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Dolphins are already without starter De'Von Achane (knee) for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL, so if Wright cannot play this weekend, Ollie Gordon II should handle a hefty backfield role as the Dolphins look for their first win of the season. Although the 23-year-old Wright only has eight carries for 17 yards and no receptions through three games, he is a worthwhile fantasy handcuff who could eventually have a bigger role alongside Gordon if he can stay healthy. Wright is currently rostered in just under 20% of Yahoo leagues.

Dallas Goedert Limited Again on Thursday
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week. Goedert sprained the MCL in his right knee in the Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans and has missed the last two games, but he is tracking towards a potential return this weekend when the team travels to London to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. The timing of Goedert's return could not be better, with both receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) both questionable to play this weekend due to hamstring injuries. If Goedert is not cleared to return this weekend, veteran Zach Ertz will certainly be in play as a streamer in two-TE fantasy leagues. Goedert had four catches on five targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 1 win over the division-rival Washington Commanders and would immediately be back in the TE1 conversation in fantasy if he plays in London on Sunday. Check back on Friday to see if Goedert can sidestep a designation heading into the weekend.

Tony Pollard Returns to Full Practice on Thursday
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was held out of practice on Wednesday, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's official website. Pollard has been battling through a minor foot injury in recent weeks, but he has not missed any games and should be good to go for Sunday's divisional tilt against the winless Houston Texans. The 29-year-old has a lower ceiling because of Tennessee's weak offense and the presence of pass-catching back Tyjae Spears. However, fantasy managers cannot really complain that Pollard has seen at least 14 rushing attempts in each of the last three games after carrying the ball just seven times for 35 yards in the Week 1 loss to the New York Jets. Pollard had 16 attempts for 48 yards and his first touchdown of 2026 in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, adding two catches for two yards as a receiver. He should be viewed as more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex as the Titans look for their first win of the season.

Carnell Tate Added to Injury Report With Back Injury
Tennessee Titans rookie first-round wide receiver Carnell Tate (back) was added to the Week 5 injury report on Thursday and was listed as limited in practice due to a back injury. Midweek injuries are always worth watching closely going into the weekend. The 21-year-old was a full participant on Wednesday, so he could have been injured on Thursday. The fourth overall pick in April from Ohio State got off to a rather slow start in his first year in the NFL with second-year quarterback Cam Ward still learning, but he busted out with a nine-catch, 145-yard performance in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It would be a bad time for Tate to have to miss some time going into this weekend's game against the division-rival Houston Texans, who are also looking for their first win of the season. If Tate's back injury keeps him from playing on Sunday, Wan'Dale Robinson will become a strong flex play in PPR formats, while Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley should also be on the field more. Check back on Friday to find Tate's official designation going into the weekend.

Ladd McConkey Misses Another Practice on Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week. McConkey played through a foot injury in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, but he aggravated it and was pulled in the third quarter, to give fantasy managers a donut on the day. The 24-year-old has been described as both week-to-week and day-to-day, but with two DNPs under his belt so far this week, he is looking more doubtful than probable as the Bolts look for their first win of the season this Sunday at home against the division-rival Denver Broncos. Even if McConkey returns to practice on Friday, he could be a game-time decision for Sunday's game at SoFi Stadium. Quentin Johnston (chest) has been limited in practice this week as well, so Tre' Harris could have a big workload this weekend against Denver if McConkey is inactive. McConkey had five catches for 82 yards and a score in the season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but he has caught only seven passes for 101 yards and no touchdowns over the last three games. Fantasy managers should prepare for McConkey to potentially miss the Week 5 contest.

Mike Evans Misses Practice, Expected to Play at Seattle
San Francisco 49ers veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs) did not practice on Thursday and only ran on a side field, but he was upbeat at his locker when talking to reporters, and the Bay Area Sports Group's Cam Inman expects Evans to play on Sunday in Seattle against the division-rival Seahawks. Evans suffered a painful rib injury in the Week 3 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals last week, but he managed to play in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Denver Broncos and caught five of a season-high eight targets for a season-high 76 yards. The 33-year-old future Hall of Famer was downgraded this week after being limited in practice on Wednesday, but the former first-rounder appears to be on the right side of questionable for Week 5. The six-time Pro Bowler may not be 100% healthy all year, but he is one of the tougher receivers in the game and will continue to be quarterback Brock Purdy's top option in the passing game if he is active. The risk of an in-game setback on Sunday is real for Evans, but if he is active this weekend, he should be a low-end WR2 for fantasy football lineups.

Saquon Barkley Not Expected to Play in Week 5 in London
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was injured in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and is now not expected to play in Week 5 in London this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Barkley's hamstring is not considered a major injury, but he is considered week-to-week and has missed the first two practices of the week. Backup Tank Bigsby (abdomen) had core-muscle surgery and was placed on Injured Reserve, so it is suddenly looking like Will Shipley will be the Eagles' primary option out of the backfield this weekend against the Jags. The Eagles added Dameon Pierce to their active roster this week amidst the injuries at the position, but he will likely take a back seat to Shipley this weekend if, in fact, Barkley is eventually ruled out. Although it is not official yet, fantasy managers should move Barkley to their bench this week. The three-time Pro Bowler has yet to find the end zone through four games in 2026, but he is averaging 5.1 yards per carry on his 36 rushing attempts in his third year in Philly.

Tyler Shough Practices in Full on Thursday
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough (hand) was limited in practice on Wednesday with a left-hand injury but upgraded to a full participant on Thursday, according to the team's official website. Shough is in the clear to suit up this Sunday at home against the Minnesota Vikings in a challenging matchup, and he should not have any physical limitations. The second-year signal-caller is the QB3 overall through the first four weeks of 2026, behind only Josh Allen and Brock Purdy. Shough leads the league in both completions (121) and attempts (180) in head coach Kellen Moore's high-tempo offense while throwing for 1,203 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions to begin his sophomore campaign. The health of top receiver Chris Olave (foot) needs to be monitored going into the weekend, but as long as Olave is active, Shough should be on the QB1/2 borderline for fantasy managers. Running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is on Injured Reserve, and Alvin Kamara is banged up with a back injury, so the Saints could lean even more heavily on the passing attack against Minnesota.

Alvin Kamara Returns to Limited Practice on Thursday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (back) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he was a non-participant on Wednesday due to a back injury, according to the team's official website. Kamara tweaked his back in the Week 4 Monday night loss to the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. The veteran RB had only seven carries for 23 yards, but he saved his fantasy day with his first two rushing touchdowns and also added five receptions on seven targets for 35 yards as a receiver. Remember, Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is on Injured Reserve and will miss at least three more games, so Kamara will operate as New Orleans' primary backfield option if his back injury does not keep him from suiting up this weekend at home against the Minnesota Vikings. Kamara's fantasy managers need to have Kendre Miller rostered as a handcuff right now, as Miller would jump into lead-back duties if Kamara's back injury keeps him limited or out in Week 5. The 31-year-old Kamara does not have the upside he once did, but with more volume with Etienne out, he will continue to have RB2 upside. He is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on 25 rushing attempts for 74 yards in three games, adding 11 catches for 47 yards.

Justin Jefferson Limited Again on Thursday
Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Jefferson hurt his ankle in the Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then did not play this past Sunday in the Week 4 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The 27-year-old is at least practicing this week, but he is not a lock to return for the Week 5 game on Sunday on the road against the New Orleans Saints. Fellow receiver Jordan Addison (hamstring) is also dealing with an injury, but he returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will hopefully have a better idea of Jefferson's Week 5 status on Friday. If the four-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro is active this weekend, he will need to be deployed in all starting fantasy lineups as one of the top pass-catchers in football. Jefferson and quarterback Kyler Murray have not had a ton of time yet in the regular season to develop chemistry because of their injuries. The Louisiana native will likely be pushing hard to return this weekend as he returns home to the Big Easy.

Brock Bowers Practicing in Full Ahead of Week 5
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday, according to the Silver & Black Sports Network's Jesse Merrick. Bowers underwent a meniscus trim in his knee just before the start of the 2026 regular season and missed the first two games of the year. The 23-year-old made it up to his fantasy managers by immediately producing 10 catches on 14 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 win over the New Orleans Saints on the road. Bowers found the end zone again in last week's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs while catching six passes for 86 yards. He should not be in any danger at all of missing a Week 5 contest on the road against the New England Patriots, where he will be heavily targeted by veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins if receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) is ruled out. Nailor has not practiced at all this week. Leave Bowers, one of the top fantasy TEs in the game, locked into all starting lineups.

Ashton Jeanty Listed as Limited With Pair of Injuries
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle, foot) was added to the Week 5 injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday after he was a full-go on Wednesday, according to Jesse Merrick of Silver & Black Sports Network. Jeanty's status is now worth closely following leading up to Sunday's tilt on the road against the New England Patriots on Sunday. If Jeanty's ankle and foot injuries are serious enough to limit him or keep him sidelined entirely, rookie Mike Washington Jr. would become a must-start in fantasy as at least an RB2 option. The 22-year-old former sixth overall pick last year from Boise State has seen plenty of volume through the first four games of his sophomore season, rushing the ball 78 times for 264 yards (3.4 yards per carry) and no rushing touchdowns. The volume has made up for his lack of efficiency, and Jeanty has added 19 receptions on 24 targets for 165 yards and two receiving touchdowns. If his ankle/foot injuries are not too serious, he should be left in all starting fantasy lineups this weekend in Boston.

Dontayvion Wicks Added to Injury Report With Hamstring Injury
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was added to the team's injury report with a hamstring injury on Thursday, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Wicks was limited in practice, which suggests he suffered the injury on Thursday after he was a full participant on Wednesday. Top wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and has not practiced yet this week, although he was seen getting some running in on a side rehab field on Thursday. With both of Philly's top pass-catchers questionable to play in London on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, rookie first-rounder Makai Lemon could be thrust into a big pass-catching role in a tough matchup this weekend. Veteran Hollywood Brown (ankle) is also banged up, so alongside Lemon, Darius Cooper could have an expanded role as the Eagles look to bounce back against another tough opponent. If the 25-year-old Wicks ends up suiting up this weekend and Smith sits a second straight game, he should have a much better game than his three-catch, 18-yard performance against the Rams with Smith out last weekend. Wicks had 147 receiving yards and a touchdown in the first two weeks of the season but has produced just five catches for 50 yards in the last two games.

Kyle Monangai Dealing with Turf Toe, Hopeful to Play Through Injury
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (toe) is dealing with turf toe, which makes his status for the next 1-2 weeks in serious doubt. While Fowler noted that the second-year running back is attempting to play through the injury, his status for this Sunday's contest against the Packers is in question. So far, the running back hasn't participated in practice, which already makes his path to being cleared this weekend challenging. The Rutgers product is also dealing with a thumb injury, as per the team's injury report. Monangai is coming off the best outing of his season, when he ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Jets. D'Andre Swift (hip/knee) is also on the injury report, but he practiced in limited capacity Thursday, suggesting he is still on track to suit up Sunday. If both Monangai and Swift can't play, Roschon Johnson would slide into the lead role and get the bulk of the opportunities.

Jeremiyah Love Practices Again on Thursday
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was on the practice field for the second straight day on Thursday, per Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Love suffered an ankle injury during Arizona's Week 4 loss to the New York Giants, but it appears as though he's trending toward being active for his team's Week 5 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Across the first four games of his NFL career, Love has recorded 259 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 66 touches. The 21-year-old opened the year splitting work fairly evenly with veteran Cardinals back Tyler Allgeier, but Love has seen his usage ramped up over the last two weeks. Assuming he's able to play in Week 5, Love profiles as a borderline top-12 fantasy running back in a favorable matchup against the struggling Lions defense. UPDATE: Love was limited in practice again on Thursday.

Stefon Diggs Officially Listed as a Non-Participant in Practice on Thursday
Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is listed as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday, per the team's official injury report. Earlier reports indicated that Diggs was spotted back on the practice field, but it appears the veteran wideout was unable to log an official practice as he battles a hamstring injury. Diggs has been productive through four games so far in 2026, recording 18 catches for 170 yards and three touchdowns on 31 targets. Fellow veteran Washington wideout Terry McLaurin (hamstring) has also yet to practice this week due to a hamstring issue, so the Commanders could be without their top two pass-catchers in Week 5 against the New York Giants. If both Diggs and McLaurin are unavailable, rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams could be poised for a major workload increase on Sunday.
