If Terry McLaurin is inactive, the source would move Antonio Williams into the top 30 wide receivers; he becomes a high-priority contingency play with significant upside in that scenario.

Source recommends Braylon Allen over Emmanuel Wilson in a start/sit decision.

Caleb Williams is questionable heading into Week 5; status requires monitoring.

Kyle Menongai is out, making DeAndre Swift a must-start in the Colts-Steelers game.

DeAndre Swift is rated as a must-start running back with Kyle Menongai out in the Colts-Steelers game.

Denzel Boston, a downfield threat, is downgraded as a number three wide receiver option due to weather concerns for the Browns-Jets game; the source is less excited about him than previously.

Deshaun Watson was the source's favorite streamer of the week but may drop from QB 13 to QB 15 due to weather downgrade for the Browns-Jets game; the source suggests moving him behind Brissette and Rodgers as streaming options.

Source suggests sitting Drake London in a four-receiver start/sit scenario, preferring Parker Washington, Jamar Chase, and Justin Jefferson over him.

Source ranks Emmanuel Wilson below Braylon Allen in a start/sit decision.

Garrett Wilson is rated as a top 12 must-start wide receiver despite weather downgrade to the Browns-Jets passing attack; the source notes weather is not enough to change his must-start status.

Jamar Chase's status is unknown heading into Week 5; the Bengals did not elevate any wide receivers from the practice squad, which is a decent sign but not a guarantee; Chase was listed as a full participant on Friday and the source expected him to clear concussion protocol but recommends having a backup plan.

Source indicates Jamar Chase is fine to play after coming out of concussion protocol; recommends not sitting Chase if he's able to play, suggesting he should be started.

Used as a comp for Trey Harris's tier; source ranks Harris in the Jamison Williams range as a high-end WR3.

Jaden Daniels' left elbow is not 100% healthy yet; there is a report that some people expect another injury, raising comfort concerns about starting him.

Left elbow not 100% healthy yet; report suggests some expect another injury. If Terry McLaurin is active, he's a comfortable start; if McLaurin is out, he remains a borderline starter ahead of streaming options.

Source recommends Jaden Daniels over Tyler Shuck in a four-point passing touchdown scoring format.

Jalen Warren will definitely start with Dowdle unlikely to play according to Adam Schefter.

Source recommends Jalen Warren over Jeremiah Love in a start/sit decision.

Jalen Wright is questionable for the Dolphins; status requires confirmation.

Source ranks Jeremiah Love below Jalen Warren in a start/sit decision.

Jordan Addison is questionable; his value is highly dependent on Justin Jefferson's status. If both play, Addison is not a preferred start. If only Addison plays and Jefferson is out, Addison becomes more attractive. If only Jefferson plays, Addison should be avoided.

Missing top two wide receivers and top 15 offensive linemen; source does not want to start him this week despite Broncos facing Patriots without their top cornerbacks.

Justin Jefferson plans on playing but that is not a guarantee yet; if both Jefferson and Addison play, the source is not interested in starting Addison; if only Addison plays and Jefferson is out, Addison becomes more attractive.

Status uncertain; if he plays, it impacts tight end start/sit decisions, making Arande Gadsden preferable to TJ Hawkinson.

Source indicates Justin Jefferson could be sat if playing it safe in a four-receiver start/sit scenario, though not the primary recommendation; suggests sitting London is the safer play.

Source suggests using Kendrick Bourne this week specifically due to favorable matchup; notes he's only 5% rostered and could be one of the most added players on Tuesday; acknowledges schedule gets tougher after this week with Rams, Broncos, Cowboys, Seahawks upcoming, but this week presents opportunity to score a touchdown.

Source is skeptical of Keon Coleman even with DJ Moore out; ranks him just outside top 36; notes Coleman has only been good when Moore has been out; if Moore plays a normal snap share, Coleman probably won't do anything.

Rankings unchanged despite New England's top two cornerbacks being out; source prefers Kirk Cousins over Justin Herbert this week despite the matchup advantage, citing Herbert's missing top two wide receivers and top 15 offensive linemen.

Marshawn Lloyd is mentioned as a potential desperation option if Chris Brooks steps off injured reserve.

Source notes Marvin Harrison has only 12 targets on the year and hasn't really had that big of a role, suggesting limited fantasy relevance despite pending trade discussion.

Mike Washington Jr. is 82% rostered, making him unavailable for most fantasy managers seeking alternatives to Ashton Gentey.

Source recommends getting Parker Washington into lineup when choosing between Drake London, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Parker Washington; indicates Washington should be started over at least one of the other three receivers.

Pierre Strong was elevated for the first time this season and may fill the role vacated by Chris Brooks.

Terry McLaurin is likely a game-time decision heading into Week 5.

With Quentin Johnson out and Lad McConkie unlikely to play, Trey Harris is a top 30 wide receiver; he's been the top target earner when either Johnson or McConkie has been unavailable. Source ranks him in the Jamison Williams range as a high-end WR3.

Source recommends Trey Tucker over Kendrick Bourne in a start/sit decision.

Will Shipley is not ranked as low as Ashton Gentey in start-sit considerations, suggesting he remains a viable option.
