Caleb Huntley- RB- Falcons

After Cordelle Patterson left last week's game against the Browns, Caleb Huntley saw additional playing time. He recorded 10 rushes for 56 yards and a score. Patterson has been placed on the Injured Reserve list, so Huntley should see plenty of opportunities in the upcoming games. He will split time with Tyler Allgeier, who also saw 10 carries last week. If you need a running back, Huntley is good a good option moving forward.

 

Josh Reynolds- WR- Lions

Fantasy managers should look at picking up Josh Reynolds this week for a dollar. Last week against the Seahawks, Reynolds had seven receptions for 81 yards and touchdown. In week three against the Vikings, he had six receptions for 96 yards. Depending on the Amon-Ra St. Brown and D.J. Clark's timeline to return, Reynolds could find himself as the number one receiver in Detroit. The Lions' offense looks like a fantasy managers dream, and Reynolds could be a very important to its success in the next few weeks. Get him for a buck.

 

 

 

Mo Allie-Cox- TE- Colts

If you need a tight end in week 5, Colts' tight end Mo Allie-Cox might be worth picking up and starting. Last week against the Titans, Allie-Cox had six receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns. Matt Ryan has been struggling to find targets in the red zone, but it looked he and Allie-Cox found some chemistry. The Colts face the Broncos this week, whose defense has given up the 13th most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Look for Ryan to target Allie-Cox this Thursday night.

 

 

 

Ryan Tannehill- QB- Titans

Titans' quarterback Rayan Tannehill might be someone worth picking up this week if you need a quarterback. The Titans face the Commanders, whose defense has given up the 6th most fantasy points to quarterbacks this year. Tannehill is due for a breakout game after have four mediocre fantasy weeks in 2022. If you are desperate for a QB, Tannehill is good risk for a dollar.

 

 

 

Latavius Murray- RB- Broncos

A week after playing in London for the Saints, the Broncos signed Latavius Murray. With Jevonte Williams set to go on IR with a season ending MCL and ACL injury, the Broncos need veteran running backs. Last week against the Vikings, Murray had 11 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown. Melvin Gordon and Mike Boone will most likely see most of the carries this Thursday, but Murray could be an asset later in the season after he gets more familiar with the offense. Pick up him for a buck.

 

 

 

Isaiah McKenzie- WR- Bills

While Buffalo wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie has been a solid fantasy player through the first four weeks, he remains rostered in less than half the leagues. So far on the season, McKenzie has 15 receptions for 153 yards and three touchdowns. This week, the Bills face the Steelers, whose defense has given up the 6th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. If you need a wide out, McKenzie is most likely available for a dollar this week.
