Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Mike Evans (hamstring) will undergo an MRI.

Fowler described Evans’ hamstring injury as “mild,” which “bodes well for his return” after the Bucs’ Week 5 bye. Evans left Tampa’s Week 4 game against the Saints with the injury and did not return. Evans drafters can be cautiously optimistic they’ll have him back for Week 6 against the Lions. Evans is ninth in receiving yards (337) this season.
Jonathan Taylor

IND Running Back #28

ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports Jonathan Taylor’s status with the Colts “remains unsettled.”

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that the team is “super excited” to get Taylor (ankle, contract) back from the PUP list this week. We don’t know if Taylor — who wants a long-term contract extension — shares that excitement, and will suit up in Week 5 against the Titans. Taylor demanded a trade in September and the team granted him permission to talk to other teams about a trade. There were no takers. Taylor, expected to return to practice Wednesday, might have no choice but to return to the Colts. Fantasy managers should hold lead back Zack Moss for now.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba

SEA Wide Receiver #11

Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 3-of-6 targets for five yards in the Seahawks’ Week 4 win over the Giants.

The low yardage tells the full story here, with Smith-Njigba primarily used behind the line of scrimmage against the Giants. He continues to play a relatively low snap rate for an offense that prefers to operate primarily from 12-personnel, something that is unlikely to change in neutral-to-positive game script moving forward. That makes Smith-Njigba a shaky fantasy bet for as long as both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett remain healthy.
DK Metcalf

SEA Wide Receiver #14

DK Metcalf caught 3-of-4 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks’ Week 4 win over the Giants.

Metcalf and the rest of the pass-catchers weren’t asked to do much in this one considering their defense held the Giants to just three points on the backs of 10 sacks and three turnovers. He did save his fantasy outing with a first quarter touchdown as he shook loose in the back of the end zone. The Seahawks head to their bye in Week 5 before a matchup with the Bengals in Week 6 in Cincinnati.
Tyler Lockett

SEA Wide Receiver #16

Tyler Lockett caught 4-of-6 targets for 54 yards in the Seahawks’ Week 4 win over the Giants.

The team attempted only 26 passes on a night their defense stepped up, generating three turnovers and combining for 10 total sacks. Lockett remains an integral piece to a pass offense that is likely to have peaks and valleys throughout the season, largely dependent on game flow. The Seahawks head to their early bye in Week 5 before facing the reeling Bengals in Week 6.
Noah Fant

SEA Tight End #87

Noah Fant caught both targets for 63 yards in the Seahawks’ Week 4 win over the Giants.

Fant took a quick out from backup quarterback Drew Lock for 51 yards to the one-yard line with under two minutes to play in the first half, padding his counting stats on a night the Seahawks combined for only 26 pass attempts. The positive game script and a defense that generated three turnovers and sacked Daniel Jones 10 times simply reduced the necessary volume for all pass-catchers. Fant and the Seahawks head to their early bye in Week 5 before traveling to Cincinnati to face the Bengals in Week 6.
Geno Smith

SEA Quarterback #7

Geno Smith completed 13-of-20 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks’ 24-3, Week 4 win over the Giants.

Geno left with the medical staff before the break to get his lower leg checked after an awkward tackle along the sideline late in the second quarter. He would return for the team’s first possession of the second half and finish out the game. Game script held Smith to just 20 pass attempts as the Seattle defense generated 10 sacks and three turnovers against the revolving door offensive line of the Giants. Seattle heads to their bye in Week 5 before traveling to Cincinnati to take on the reeling Bengals in Week 6.
Darius Slayton

NYG Wide Receiver #86

Darius Slayton caught 2-of-3 targets for 23 yards in the Giants’ Week 4 loss to the Seahawks.

Slayton leads the Giants in snaps at the wide receiver position through four weeks but has just 11 receptions on 20 targets this season. he can safely be returned to the waiver wire in most formats.
Isaiah Hodgins

NYG Wide Receiver #18

Isaiah Hodgins caught all three targets for 24 yards in the Giants’ Week 4 loss to the Seahawks.

Hodgins has largely been an afterthought in the passing game this season even though he ranks second on the team in snaps at the wide receiver position through four weeks. Fantasy managers that continue to hold Hodgins in hopes he turns it around might do better to just release him to the waiver wire.
Darren Waller

NYG Tight End #12

Darren Waller caught all three targets for 21 yards in the Giants’ Week 4 loss to the Seahawks.

Waller had just one target until the team’s second to last possession of the game, catching two balls on the final series with the starters to pad his counting stats slightly. The early season returns have not been kind to the free agent addition thus far, with only one game with any semblance of fantasy utility through the first month of play. Things don’t get any easier for Waller and the Giants, with games against the Dolphins, Bills, Commanders, and Jets during the next month of play.
