Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt will head to London to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Szmyt has been up and down this season, hitting five of his seven field-goal tries while making all but one of his six extra points. The Browns could struggle to move the ball against an excellent Minnesota defense, especially with third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel making his NFL debut on Sunday. Szmyt should not be in starting lineups for fantasy teams in Week 5.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has yet to get involved for his team this season, even though he has flashed upside in limited opportunities in the past. His name has been swirling in trade rumors since he has yet to play a snap for the Dolphins, even though he has been healthy for their last two games after missing the first two games of the year with a knee injury. Wright had 249 yards on 68 carries as a rookie and had a few big plays. Wright could be an interesting addition for a team that needs another option in the mix in the backfield, but for now, he's not usable in fantasy since he is not in Miami's backfield mix and is only the RB75 in RotoBaller's Week 5 rankings.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry remains a very appealing fantasy option ahead of Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. Henry has been quite productive through four weeks this season, catching 15 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE4 in PPR leagues. He's coming off a two-touchdown game that isn't replicable, but still offers some insight into his role and productivity going forward. With all this being said, managers should temper their expectations on Sunday despite Henry's big momentum. This week, he's facing the Bills, who have allowed the fewest receiving yards and third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Henry drops to the low-end TE1 tier as a fringe top-12 option at his position.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is set to be his team's top wide receiver target the rest of the season after Tyreek Hill (knee) suffered a catastrophic knee injury last week on Monday Night Football. Waddle was already posting strong numbers with either five or six targets in each game this season. He hauled in 17 of his 23 targets for catches, racking up 185 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He could get to double-digit targets per game if he gets enough of Hill's workload, making him a solid WR2 with WR1 upside. Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins are running a conservative, short-passing offense and may rely more on De'Von Achane in the running game if playing from ahead this week in Carolina. When the Dolphins have to go pass-heavy, Waddle could be a top-10 receiver, since he's already a goal-line and red zone threat. This week's road matchup against the Panthers is tricky since the Dolphins could play from ahead, and the Panthers have been beatable on the ground. While he has a very high floor now that he should get more looks, this doesn't seem to set up perfectly for his breakout week quite yet. He's the WR20 this week in RotoBaller's rankings, so he's a strong second receiver in most formats this week, with higher-ceiling games potentially further down the road.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond had his best game as a pro in Week 4's loss to the Detroit Lions, catching three of six targets for 58 yards. Bond has a chance to continue to ascend in Week 5's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London. The Browns placed Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on injured reserve earlier in the week, which will open up a larger workload for Bond moving forward. The Vikings are allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season, but Bond is worth a look in fantasy as a boom/bust flex option if you are being hit hard by the Week 5 byes.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane should be very busy in an extremely favorable matchup in Week 5, when his team rolls into Carolina. Achane is coming off a season-high 20 carries on Monday night against the Jets in Week 4, totaling a season-high 99 rushing yards and scoring his first rushing touchdown. His targets were down dramatically because the Dolphins played from ahead, but he could get more work as a receiver with Tyreek Hill (knee) done for the season. Coach Mike McDaniel knows that Achane is a key playmaker in the offense ans always is sure to get him his volume. The Panthers have been a good matchup for running backs, giving up three running back touchdowns in four weeks along with 110 rushing yards and 30.3 receiving yards per game to the position. Achane should continue to serve as the primary back in Miami, and even though he is sharing a little work with rookie Ollie Gordon II, he remains a great play in all formats. His big-play ability, consistent volume, and favorable matchup combine to place him at No. 5 in the RotoBaller RB rankings for this week.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) will take on the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. Njoku practiced fully on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday and is listed without an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest. That being said, Njoku sets up as a low-end TE2 in Week 5. He continues to split tight-end looks with Harold Fannin Jr., which has cut into his fantasy value. The Browns will also trot out rookie Dillon Gabriel to make his NFL debut against Minnesota's exceptional pass defense, so expect the offense to skew run-heavy. Njoku is fine to utilize in fantasy, but he's not a must-start this weekend.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte desperately needs to bounce back in order to salvage his fantasy value on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Boutte caught six passes for 103 yards in Week 1 and then added a touchdown the next week, raising plenty of speculation that he was ready to take on a massive role and could be a strong WR3 in fantasy football. However, he has just four catches over his last three games, looking relatively uninvolved despite a snap share over 70 percent. Time could be ticking for Boutte to get back on track, and it probably won't happen Sunday against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed the sixth-fewest receiving yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, as well as the 14th-fewest fantasy points to perimeter receivers like Boutte. He can be benched in all leagues and dropped in leagues with 12 or fewer people.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II continues to serve as the team's primary backup for De'Von Achane and a change-of-pace option with a specialty in short-yardage situations. In Week 4, he played 26% of snaps on Monday Night Football against the Jets, taking six carries for 10 rushing yards. He played 25% of snaps in Week 3 as well and seems to be settling into a 75-25 split with Achane. Gordon has the potential to return good value in a favorable matchup against the Panthers, but his usability in a flex spot remains very touchdown dependent. He'll probably get a handful of carries, but he'll need to get into the end zone to really be a strong option. Coming into his matchup in Carolina, he is the RB42 in RotoBaller's rankings for the week, leaving him best suited for the bench in most formats.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. will look to continue his strong start to the season in a Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Fannin has been one of the few bright spots on the Cleveland offense this season, catching 17 passes for 160 yards through four games. The Vikings have been tough against tight ends this season, allowing just the 24th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, Fannin should continue to be a focal point of the Cleveland offense, especially with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel making his NFL debut. Treat Fannin as a high-end TE2 in fantasy this weekend.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins already has two touchdowns through four games and will look to build on that total during Sunday's Week 5 contest against his old team, the Buffalo Bills. Hollins has just seven catches for 42 yards this year, playing over 50 percent of the snaps in three of his four games. However, he has still managed to cross the goal line twice, building on a strong 2024 campaign with the Bills that saw him lead the team with five touchdown grabs. While Hollins would have some low-end standalone value by scoring a touchdown, that's impossible to predict or guarantee this week, especially against a Bills defense allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to receivers. Hollins, 32, has WR3/flex upside, but it's far more likely that he finishes Week 5 off the fantasy radar.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy will take on the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. Jeudy has been quiet to start the season, catching 13 passes for 182 scoreless yards through four games. He is unlikely to break out against a Vikings defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, especially with quarterback Dillon Gabriel making his NFL debut. Jeudy is best treated as a WR4 heading into Week 5, although the absence of Cedric Tillman (hamstring) might push a bit more work onto Jeudy's plate.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has not yet emerged as the team's lead back, and therefore, he's tough to trust as a fantasy starter heading into Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. Henderson is the future lead back in New England, but through the first four games of his career, the backfield has belonged to Rhamondre Stevenson. During that span, Henderson has a modest 36.6 percent snap share, 97 rushing yards, 87 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry but still works his way onto the field thanks to his draft capital, his pass-blocking skills, and Stevenson's fumbling issues. With that said, Stevenson projects as the lead running back once again in Week 5, leaving Henderson in the backup role and therefore largely dependent on finding the end zone. The Bills have allowed the ninth-most rushing yards, fourth-most rushing touchdowns, and 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, leaving Henderson as a low-end RB3/flex who can be benched in leagues with 10 or fewer teams.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is back under consideration for a starting lineup spot in fantasy football ahead of his Week 5 clash with the Buffalo Bills. After an underwhelming start to the season, Diggs exploded with six catches and 101 yards against the Panthers last week. The matchup gets a little tougher this week, as the Bills have allowed the sixth-fewest receiving yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Nevertheless, the veteran receiver is coming off a big game and has earned a commitment from quarterback Drake Maye, who vowed to throw more passes his way. Plus, we can't ignore the negative game script and revenge game narrative this weekend. Diggs is a worthwhile WR3/flex option.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson has seen his role shrink since a solid debut in Week 1. The rookie will now head to London to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. In theory, Sampson draws a decent matchup against a Minnesota defense that is allowing the 14th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, but Cleveland has been giving almost all of the running-back work to Quinshon Judkins over the past two games, which has crushed the fantasy value of Sampson and Jerome Ford. Sampson is hard to trust in fantasy until the Browns show more of a commitment to getting him the ball, so managers should leave him on the bench in Week 5.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will look to build on Monday night's first win of the season, as his team visits the Panthers in Carolina in Week 5. Tua completed 17-of-25 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns on Monday and now has exactly two touchdown passes in three straight weeks. Tua connected with tight end Darren Waller on both his touchdowns against the Jets, but he unfortunately lost top receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) to a brutal, season-ending injury. So far this season, Tagvailoa has not taken deep shots or racked up big yardage, but his touchdown passes and a generally favorable matchup keep him on the radar as a QB2 this week. He's No. 20 in RotoBaller's Week 5 rankings, so he's startable in two-quarterback leagues or very deep leagues if bye weeks are stretching you thin at the position.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech remains off the fantasy radar heading into Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. Bech has delivered minimal contributions on offense so far, catching just two passes for 33 yards on a mere 12 percent snap share. The TCU second-rounder still has immense upside, but his production so far leaves a lot to be desired. For the moment, he remains buried behind Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, and Donte Thornton Jr. on the depth chart. As a result, Bech can be dropped in all redraft leagues and benched in most dynasty formats.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel has been somewhat of an afterthought this season and should continue to be avoided in fantasy football ahead of his Week 5 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. He has played just 23.6 percent of the offensive snaps so far, taking a backseat to Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson. As long as he's buried on the depth chart, Noel, a rookie, is not worth starting in fantasy football. That remains true this weekend despite a matchup against the Ravens, who have allowed the second-most touchdowns and fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. That should benefit Collins and Kirk far more than Noel.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins didn't find the end zone in last week's win over the Titans, but he still tied for the team lead with six targets, finishing with four catches for a team-high 79 receiving yards. He remains the go-to option for C.J. Stroud, and the duo will look to connect early and often while trying to get a second straight win this week against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are banged up and have struggled on defense so far this season. They have given up the third-most fantasy points in the NFL to wide receivers, including three wide receiver scores last week against the Chiefs. The Texans' offense scuffled early this season, but Collins could help them continue to find their stride this week. He's the WR7 this week in RotoBaller's rankings and remains a strong top-line receiver to start every week in standard formats.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel will make his NFL debut in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. The Browns benched ineffective starter Joe Flacco earlier in the week and will turn to Gabriel, whom they drafted in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft. The rookie faces a tough task right off the bat against a Brian Flores-led Minnesota defense that tends to cause havoc for even the top quarterbacks in the league. The Browns are likely to limit Gabriel's pass attempts in his debut as a run-heavy offensive approach is likely. Treat Gabriel as a high-end QB3 in fantasy leagues for Week 5.
