Isaiah Bond Continues Playing Limited Snaps

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond has found himself buried on the depth chart right now. The 22-year-old was expected to have a larger role this season, but instead, he found himself seeing fewer snaps than last season. Both rookie receivers are playing well, and Jerry Jeudy remains a starter as well, so there isn't much room for Bond to play every Sunday. Through the first four games, Bond has recorded two receptions for 12 yards. There's some dynasty stash value here because he could see an increased role if anyone goes down with an injury. He's also only 22 years old, so there's time for him to develop into a decent player. Until then, Bond isn't someone who is going to have a regular role in Cleveland.

Jalen McMillan Could be Sneaky Stash Candidate

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (knee) hasn't been able to make an impact this season due to injury. He sustained a PCL sprain of his left knee in Week 3 and has been sidelined since then. McMillan was placed on the Injured Reserve shortly after that and is expected to miss around two months of action. The hope is that McMillan will be back in action around mid-season, but that depends on his recovery. Once healthy, McMillan should immediately move into the No. 3 role on the depth chart. The 24-year-old showed flashes during his rookie season, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy since then. He remains worth stashing in dynasty formats and is someone who could be a sneaky stash candidate in deep leagues once he creeps closer to getting back on the field.

Tez Johnson • WR • Buccaneers

Tez Johnson is Worthy Dynasty Stash

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson was hopeful to build off his decent rookie campaign, but that hasn't really happened early in the year. Through five games, Johnson has recorded five receptions for 138 receiving yards and zero touchdowns. The second-year wideout made himself an interesting dynasty stash after showing off his big-play ability last season. The 24-year-old scored five touchdowns in limited playing time last season, but he hasn't been able to find the same success this year. Due to injuries, Johnson is currently the fourth receiver on the depth chart, so there's a chance that his role could grow. He hauled in a big 64-yard catch during Thursday's win over the Dallas Cowboys. Johnson has big-play upside, but isn't anything more than a dynasty stash at the moment.

Ja'Tavion Sanders is Buried on Depth Chart

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders was hopeful to take a step forward in 2026, but that doesn't appear to be the case right now. The 23-year-old has yet to play a game this season and has fallen to probably fourth on the depth chart. At the moment, Sanders is likely behind Darren Waller, Tommy Tremble, and Mitchell Evans for playing time in Carolina right now. The former fourth-round pick finished with 342 receiving yards during his rookie season in 2024. Sanders hasn't been able to capitalize on it and is unlikely to play unless an injury or two occur at some point.

Michael Trigg • TE • Cowboys

Michael Trigg Could be a Dynasty Stash

Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg joined the team as an undrafted free agent back in April. He was decent in the preseason, hauling in four of his eight targets for 30 yards. The 24-year-old was eventually cut, but the Cowboys brought Trigg back and signed him to their practice squad as depth. The Cowboys don't have a ton of viable options at tight end outside of starter Jake Ferguson. There is a chance that Trigg earns himself a role on this team at some point down the road. Right now, Trigg remains on the practice squad and is irrelevant in fantasy leagues. He could be someone worth holding in dynasty formats for managers willing to wait a season or two to see if he develops his game.

Tua Tagovailoa • QB • Falcons

No Path to Playing Time for Tua Tagovailoa?

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa remains firmly entrenched in the backup role, and it appears that he's stuck in his No. 2 position on the depth chart given how well starter Michael Penix Jr. has played lately. Penix has 479 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in two games since returning from injury, and he has turned the team around from a 0-2 start to a 2-2 record and a tie for first place in the NFC South. Other than an injury to Penix, Tagovailoa's only path to meaningful playing time would have required the former Washington product to play poorly. Instead, he's looked great, widening the gap between him and Tagovailoa and solidifying himself in the starting role. As long as Penix is healthy, Tagovailoa can be left on waivers in both redraft and dynasty fantasy football leagues.

Elijah Arroyo • TE • Seahawks

Elijah Arroyo Operating as a True Backup in Second Pro Season

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo remains buried in the No. 2 role on the depth chart through the first four weeks of the season (and counting). Arroyo was a mid-second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but his role so far has not reflected that draft capital. He has played fewer than one-third of the snaps in every game this season, and he has just one catch for 17 yards so far. He continues to operate as the clear backup behind AJ Barner. While Barner has certainly earned his position atop the depth chart, there had been some preseason speculation that the two tight ends could coexist in this offense. After all, the Seahawks' offensive coordinator is Brian Fleury, who had a clear connection to the tight end position after spending several years as the tight ends coach in San Francisco. Instead, Fleury has consistently preferred to use just one tight end, giving Barner a 90% snap share in each of the last two weeks. As long as Barner stays healthy, Arroyo won't sniff the fantasy radar.

Terry McLaurin • WR • Commanders

Terry McLaurin Remains a Game-Time Decision, Slightly Leaning Toward Playing

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 5 and is expected to be a true game-time decision, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. Keim added that there is a "slight lean" toward McLaurin playing, but he made sure to reiterate that it was "just slight." In other words, his status in Week 5 will depend on how he feels during pregame warmups on Sunday morning. The Commanders would surely love to get McLaurin back from his one-week absence, as the Commanders are 1-3 and need to start getting all the wins they can get. Plus, the wide receiver's upside would get a boost with quarterback Jayden Daniels back in action. With that being said, Washington will also be smart and won't rush him back before he's ready. The 31-year-old would rank as a mid-range fantasy WR2 against the Giants if active. The team will confirm his status at 11:30 a.m. local time on Sunday.

LeQuint Allen Jr. • RB • Jaguars

LeQuint Allen Jr. Involved Sparingly Early in Year 2

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. has seen minimal usage on offense through the first four games of his second NFL season. He has logged snaps in every game, but he has yet to log a carry. He has mostly played on passing downs, resulting in two catches for nine receiving yards so far. This shouldn't necessarily come as a surprise, though, as Allen has seventh-round draft capital and entered this season as the clear No. 3 option behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. Allen can be left on waivers in redraft leagues, but he's still an appealing stash in dynasty formats. Because of his pass-catching ability, he could sneak onto the fantasy radar in PPR leagues if Tuten or Rodriguez were to miss any time. Plus, at just 22 years old, he still has plenty of time to carve out a meaningful role.

Marvin Harrison Jr. • WR • Cardinals

Saints Had Trade Talks for Marvin Harrison Jr. in the Spring

The New Orleans Saints had "preliminary talks" with the Arizona Cardinals for wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in the spring, according to Johnny Venerable of PHNX Sports. Venerable reports that the talks took place prior to the NFL Draft, with the Cardinals looking to stockpile some extra draft capital so they could pursue quarterback Ty Simpson. The deal obviously never came to fruition, and New Orleans pivoted to selecting wide receiver Jordyn Tyson in the first round. Those failed trade talks are worth mentioning as the Cardinals are reportedly in the process of finalizing a Harrison trade with an unknown team. At this moment, there is no indication that Harrison is being traded to the Saints. However, it wouldn't shock us to see New Orleans pursue a wide receiver upgrade. They have fallen to 1-3 in a wide-open NFC South, and adding Harrison would give Tyler Shough another weapon in the passing game. We expect more information to emerge on the Harrison sweepstakes within the next 48 hours.

Jaxson Dart • QB • Giants

Jaxson Dart Still an Exciting Quarterback for Dynasty Leagues

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee) underwent season-ending knee surgery after sustaining a torn meniscus in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. The 23-year-old started his sophomore season with a bang, with a 26.6-point performance and finished as the QB4 overall in Week 1. However, Dart's breakout season was unfortunately cut short the following week. Dart was a trendy breakout candidate this offseason, but scared off some fantasy managers because of durability concerns. He has finished as a top-8 quarterback in seven of his 13 games he's played over 70 percent of the snaps. On the flip side, he had five concussion evaluations during his 12 games last season and suffered one diagnosed concussion. Dart's legs give him a top-6 fantasy quarterback ceiling, but his reckless nature outside the pocket could significantly shorten his career. The Ole Miss product remains an exciting dynasty quarterback moving forward if he finds a way to stay on the field.

Jayden Reed • WR • Packers

Is Jayden Reed a Worthy Injured Reserve Stash in Dynasty Leagues?

Green Bay Packers wideout Jayden Reed (neck) has produced multiple splash performances and shown flashes of fantasy football stardom. In his limited role, Reed produced 18-plus fantasy points eight times and 15-plus fantasy points 12 times in a game. Through 42 career games, he's caught 142 of his 199 targets for 1,881 yards and 15 touchdowns. However, his limited role and injuries have capped his fantasy ceiling. The Green Bay Packers have deployed a wide receiver-by-committee approach throughout his career, and he has taken a backseat to Christian Watson when Watson has been healthy. Unfortunately, he's suffered two major upper-body injuries that could impact the remainder of his career. In Week 2 this season, Reed suffered a season-ending neck injury, while suffering a broken clavicle and a Jones fracture early last season. If you have an injured reserve spot open in a dynasty league, he is a worthy stash because of his high ceiling when on the field.

Ben Sinnott • TE • Commanders

Ben Sinnott Off the Fantasy Radar in All-Fantasy Formats

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott hasn't lived up to his second-round draft pedigree so far in his young career. The 24-year-old has hauled in 17 of his 20 targets for 148 yards and two touchdowns in 37 career games. As a result, he hasn't popped up on fantasy radars since being drafted 53rd overall in 2024. There was a glimpse of excitement during the offseason that Sinnott would finally become the versatile playmaker the team drafted him to be. The Commanders hired David Blough as their next offensive coordinator, whose scheme was expected to maximize Sinnott's versatility. However, through four games, he has one catch on two targets despite Chig Okonkwo missing two games to start the season. Unfortunately, the Kansas State product hasn't been fantasy-viable yet, with no signs of popping onto managers' radars anytime soon.

Andy Borregales Carries His Low Floor Into Week 5

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has been an uninspiring fantasy option this season, ranking 29th at his position in terms of fantasy points so far. The 23-year-old is just 5-for-7 on field goals through four weeks, as well as 6-for-6 on extra points. Between a couple of missed kicks and a generally lower field goal volume, Borregales has become tough to trust in his second pro season. Last week's Patriots win suggested that the offense is trending in the right direction. Normally, that would boost a kicker's fantasy value, but the Miami product had just three fantasy points in the victory. Managers can find stronger streaming options elsewhere ahead of Week 5.

Matthew Stafford • QB • Rams

Matthew Stafford Has a Great Opportunity to Bounce Back Against Buffalo

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off a disappointing performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4, but he has a great opportunity to bounce back during Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. It has been shocking to see Stafford's points decline when Puka Nacua is healthy, as the veteran quarterback has not yet thrown a touchdown pass in a game where Nacua has been on the field this season. With that being said, he has still managed to throw for at least 315 yards in each of his last three games. Plus, the touchdown-less pattern could just be a fluke, with travel to blame in Week 1 and weather to blame in Week 4. We like Stafford's chances to get back in the touchdown column on Monday night. After all, he's facing off against a Bills defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2026. Most recently, Buffalo surrendered 269 passing yards and three touchdowns to Drake Maye in what might prove to be a get-right game for the former No. 3 pick. A similar bounce-back opportunity likely awaits Stafford at home on Monday night.

Nicholas Singleton • RB • Titans

Nicholas Singleton Remains a Solid Stash with Future Backfield Uncertainty

Tennessee Titans running back Nicholas Singleton has just seven touches through the first four weeks of the season, but he continues to be an intriguing player to stash in dynasty leagues. Fantasy experts generally agreed that he came out of the NFL Draft with more dynasty value than a typical Day 3 pick, and he has a chance to take on a much larger role next year, even if it means he spends most of his rookie season in the third-string position. Singleton's backfield teammates, Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, are both slated to hit free agency in March 2027, leaving Singleton as the only projected returner in this backfield (barring a contract extension for Pollard or Spears). While Tennessee will surely bring in at least one other running back to share volume with Singleton, it appears that he could have an opportunity to compete for a lead-back role next season, or at the very least, a fantasy-relevant role. Managers should stay patient and continue to stash Singleton throughout his rookie campaign. He's a great candidate for the taxi squad in dynasty leagues, since he probably won't have much fantasy relevance this year.

Mack Hollins • WR • Patriots

Patriots Place Mack Hollins on Injured Reserve with Calf Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (calf) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Evan Lazar of the team's official website. Hollins had already been ruled out for Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but his placement on IR will now sideline him through Week 8 at the earliest. The Patriots find themselves short-staffed at wide receiver right now, and they'll look for players like Romeo Doubs and Efton Chism III to continue to step up on Sunday afternoon. Reinforcements could also be on the way, as AJ Brown (ankle) is eligible to return from IR next week. However, a Week 6 return for Brown may be ambitious, as that would put him ahead of his initial timeline. Nevertheless, Hollins' absence means that Drake Maye will have to find a different receiver to trust in contested or high-leverage scenarios. The 33-year-old had been one of his go-to options in the passing attack, catching 15 passes for 209 yards through the first four games of the season.

Trey Lance Placed on Injured Reserve with Groin Injury

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance (groin) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Lance had already been listed as doubtful to play in Week 5. His placement on IR not only rules him out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, but it will also keep him sidelined through Week 9 at the earliest. The 26-year-old quarterback had yet to play a snap this year, and he finished last season with just 57 pass attempts, 17 rushing attempts, and four games played. His absence clears the way for DJ Uiagalelei, who had been a healthy scratch through the first four games, to suit up as Los Angeles' backup quarterback behind Justin Herbert.

Bengals Add No Receivers with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins Questionable

The Cincinnati Bengals did not elevate any wide receivers from the practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Miami Dolphins, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com. Given that teams often use practice squad elevations to provide depth and security when rostered players are at risk of missing a game, fantasy managers should feel encouraged about the statuses of Ja'Marr Chase (concussion), Tee Higgins (groin, neck), and Colbie Young (knee). Of course, the lack of an elevation does not necessarily guarantee those players will suit up, so managers should check for a status confirmation from the team 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday. With that being said, between Chase and Higgins both logging full practices on Friday and the Bengals opting not to add anyone at the position, we feel very optimistic about both receivers' outlooks for Week 5 against Miami. If they play, Chase is an undisputed WR1 in fantasy football while Higgins is a high-volume WR2 option.

Hunter Henry Looks to Build on Momentum in Week 5

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry finally seemed to turn a corner last Sunday, breaking out of a slump with five catches and 62 yards against the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots' passing game finally found a rhythm, and it directly resulted in Henry posting new season highs in catches and yards, despite having a season-low 64% snap share. Managers won't like to see that Henry's snap share dropped while rookie tight end Eli Raridon's snap share hit a new season-high mark. Alternatively, though, it's also encouraging to know that if Henry produced as well as he did on a 64% snap share, his ceiling will be even higher if his involvement increases in future weeks. This could be one of those weeks, as Henry is facing a Las Vegas Raiders defense that has allowed the second-most touchdowns and the sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2026. The 31-year-old tight end is back on the streaming radar in Week 5, and managers in deeper leagues could justify starting him as bye weeks and injuries begin to thin out the tight end position across the NFL.
