Gibson will start in place of Rhamondre Stevenson, whose four straight games with a fumble prompted HC Jerod Mayo to make the move. Mayo did confirm that Stevenson will still play, so Gibson’s impending role should conservatively be viewed as that of the committee-lead variety. Gibson leads Patriots running backs in both yards per carry (5.3) and yards per route run (3.15). He is an RB3 with PPR upside this week.

Speaking on a local radio show, Mayo added, “I’ll be upfront and transparent. But he will play. And he understands he has to protect the football going forward.” The news comes two days after Mayo told reporters he was considering benching Stevenson in favor of Antonio Gibson. Gibson has played far more efficiently than Stevenson through the first four weeks, averaging 5.3 yards per carry and 3.15 yards per route run. Stevenson is respectively averaging 4.1 and 0.47 yards per play. Fantasy managers should consider Gibson a flex play with PPR upside. Stevenson has converted 50.0 percent of his green zone carries for first downs and/or touchdowns, which may keep him in play in scoring position though.

Fellow Jacksonville running back Tank Bigsby was also removed from the injury report. Bigsby has been far more explosive this year and has already worked his way into a small committee role. No longer dominating the snaps, Etienne is more of a high-end RB2 than a true RB1 heading into his matchup with the Colts.

Engram was limited in practice throughout the week. He has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during pre-game warmups an hour before Jacksonville’s Week 2 matchup with the Browns. Getting in three limited sessions gives him a good chance of suiting up this week, but fantasy managers will need to check the Jags’ inactives to be sure. If Engram is ruled out before kickoff, Brenton Strange will draw his fourth start of the year.

Adams’ status is unsurprising, given the trade talks currently swirling. Hopefully, this is resolved quickly so fantasy managers can return Adams to starting lineups. The Raiders also ruled out TE Michael Mayer (personal), T Thayer Munford Jr. (knee/ankle), CB Decamerion Richardson (hamstring), RB Zamir White (groin) and S Trey Taylor (knee).

Warner did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was back on the field for what was certainly a limited session on Friday. Warner is one of the best coverage linebackers in the league and will likely be matched up with Trey McBride often if healthy. McBride’s fantasy outlook would improve in a meaningful way if Warner isn’t able to suit up this week.

Kittle returned to practice on Friday but is still a true game-time call for Week 5. Backup tight end Eric Saubert caught two passes for 41 yards when Kittle missed Week 3 because of a hamstring injury. He would be a weak emergency option for fantasy managers if Kittle is ruled out on Sunday. Tucker Kraft and Colby Parkinson, who also play in the second wave of games, are better backup plans at tight end.

Williams was a full participant in practice on Friday and did not receive a designation for Sunday’s game. He will be removed from injured reserve tomorrow. The Rams have been one of the weakest defenses against the pass this year. Getting Williams back is one step in a turnaround that will take a few weeks at least. Williams logged four interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 19 pass breakups with the Jags last year before signing with LA in free agency.

Kamara played through the pair of injuries last week and should do so again on Monday. With Tayhsom Hill trending toward being out, Kamara could even see more work at the goal line if the Saints manage to make it there versus the Chiefs. Per usual, Kamara will rank as an RB1 once he is cleared from the injury report.

Musgrave had already been effectively supplanted by Tucker Kraft who is firmly locked into the TE1s rankings. It would be a surprise if Musgrave actually suits up after failing to practice all week.
