Kirk Cousins (MIN)
We’ve known Cousins to be a game manager type quarterback through much of his career, but that’s not the case to this point in 2020. His average depth of target is 11.0 yards, which ranks as the highest mark among quarterbacks who’ve started multiple games. The Seahawks defense has already faced a massive 200 pass attempts through four games this season. Lack of plays have been an issue for the Vikings as they’ve ran a league-low 55.8 offensive plays per game, but that shouldn’t be an issue against the Seahawks, who’ve allowed their opponents a league-leading 73.8 plays per game. You can now see how they’ve faced 50.0 pass attempts per game. No quarterback has walked out of a game against them with less than 44 pass attempts, and none of them have averaged less than 7.0 yards per attempt. The Seahawks aren’t getting pressure on the quarterback, as they rank as the third-worst in the league in pressure rate and sack rate. This will be good for Cousins, who has been pressured on 41.4 percent of his dropbacks this year, the most in the league. Oddly enough, the Seahawks have allowed just the eighth-fewest fantasy points per actual pass attempt, which is due to the minuscule 3.0 percent touchdown-rate, which could fluctuate. Still, Cousins should be able to deliver at least high-end QB2 numbers in this game and be a rock-solid streamer.
Daniel Jones (NYG)
Remember when we talked about touchdown regression for Patrick Mahomes after the 2018 season? Well, he threw a touchdown on 8.62 percent of his passes that year. Through four games, the Cowboys are allowing an 8.03 percent touchdown rate through the air. For each time a quarterback throws a pass (not including rushing totals), they average 0.614 fantasy points per pass attempt against the Cowboys. So, even if a quarterback has thrown just 30 passes, that averages out to 18.42 fantasy points. Crazy, right? The Giants have run just 60.2 plays per game to this point, though the Cowboys should be able to help out with that, as their opponents have run 71.8 plays per game, while their games overall have run a league-leading 149.0 plays per game. Matchups like this are the ones that had fantasy managers believing Jones could be a breakout star, as he totaled 28-plus fantasy points in games against Washington, the Bucs, Jets, and Lions last year, all teams who ranked in the bottom-15 against the pass, with three of them in the bottom-10. Knowing he’s still without one of his starting wide receivers, it’s tough to say Jones is a can’t-miss play this week, but if there ever were a week to play him, this would be it, as the Cowboys have allowed at least 38 points to each of their last three opponents.

James Robinson (JAC)
He’s now totaled 74 of the 88 running back touches available in this backfield, including four of the five targets available last week. That’s rare air and something we don’t see anymore. The only running back who’s averaged more yards per route run than Robinson on the season is Alvin Kamara. I mentioned a few weeks ago that there’s no difference between him and 2019 Leonard Fournette, a running back we were starting as a borderline RB1 most weeks. The Texans are a team you want to start running backs against. They’ve now allowed four straight running backs to score at least 15.7 PPR points against them, including 295 total yards and three touchdowns to the combination of James Conner and Dalvin Cook the last two weeks. The only starting running back who failed to rush for 100-plus yards against them was Mark Ingram, who carried the ball just nine times but for 55 yards and a touchdown. Teams have chosen to run the ball 55 percent of the time against the Texans, which is the highest percentage in the league. While I don’t expect the Jaguars to hit that number, Robinson is gamescript-proof workhorse who’s going against a bottom-five defense against running backs. He should be in lineups as a low-end RB1 this week.
Kenyan Drake (ARI)
Based on where he’s been contacted at/near the line of scrimmage and how many stacked boxes he’s seen, Drake has averaged 0.58 fewer yards per carry than he should’ve, according to NFL’s NextGenStats. Play-calling has certainly been an issue, but so has his play. It’s to the point where you wonder if that injury that had him in a walking boot during training camp is lingering, as he’s just not the same running back as he was last year when he averaged 0.22 more yards per carry than he was expected. He’s also received 72 percent of the team’s running back touches, so the process was good, but the play has not been. Whatever the case, this timeshare could start to move back towards a 50/50 split, though I’m still expecting Drake to lead the team in touches. The Jets have allowed a healthy 4.57 yards per carry on the season, though removing one run from Raheem Mostert knocks them down to 3.77 yards per carry on the year. The reason fantasy running backs have so much appeal against them is due to volume, as they’ve faced 31.0 running back touches per week, which is volume that even with less-than-stellar efficiency offers results. They’ve now allowed seven different running backs to finish as the RB31 or better, though just one of them finished higher than the RB16. Drake is still the recommended play, but the expectations need to be lowered into low-end RB2/high-end RB3 territory. Edmonds is receiving most of the work through the air, though teams haven’t felt it necessary to target running backs a whole lot against the Jets, as just two running backs have recorded more than three receptions. Edmonds is gaining steam but should be considered a mediocre flex option who comes with risk.
Darrell Henderson (LAR)
What a disappointment it was in Week 4 as Henderson had everything trending in the right direction, but then wound up receiving just nine opportunities against the Giants. Granted, he didn’t do much with those touches (38 total yards) but that’s hardly a big enough sample size to judge. It appears Sean McVay was being 100 percent honest when he said that he wanted his offense to be like Kyle Shanahan’s offense, with a different running back every week. Despite the stars aligning for Henderson last week, we were all let down, so remember that when trusting a Rams running back as anything more than a RB3/flex option. The matchup with Washington hasn’t been great for opposing running backs, as there’s been just one team of running backs to account for more than 17.2 PPR points, and that team of running backs was the Browns duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Running backs have actually totaled 111 touches through four games against them, which is the 15th-most in football, but the 463 total yards rank as the 11th-fewest in football. They’ve allowed just 0.75 PPR points per opportunity, which ranks as the seventh-lowest mark in the league, so volume has been paramount to a running backs success. This backfield has produced 29.5 touches per game, so even though Week 4 was a dud, there are enough touches to produce. Henderson is still the one I’d trust the most, though trusting him as anything more than an RB3 is too risky. Brown is teetering on the RB3/4 radar, while Akers is just a handcuff if he plays at all, as he’s been out of practice the last two weeks. He did return to a limited practice on Wednesday.

D.J. Moore (CAR)
I’m continuing to recommend buying Moore’s stock while it’s down. He’s being used in a different role than he was last year and it’s only a matter of time before that pays off. We’ll compare him to Robby Anderson below, but the one that’s typically tied to success is the percentage of their team’s air yards. Moore has 42.7 percent of the Panthers air yards while Anderson is at 35.4 percent. Both are very high, but it’s Moore who hasn’t scored yet. Now onto their Week 5 matchup, this could be the week we see Moore go nuts. When the Falcons allow a completion, it goes for plenty of yards per reception (15.2). That mark ranks as the third-highest in football, so it’s no wonder they’ve allowed a league-leading 21 pass plays to go for 20-plus yards. Moore plays most of his snaps at LWR, which means he’ll see Isaiah Oliver most of the time, a cornerback who’s struggled mightily since coming into the league, and it’s only gotten worse in 2020 as he’s allowed 19-of-28 passing for 277 yards and three touchdowns in his coverage. Moore should remain in lineups as a high-end WR2 this week who could have the game you’ve been waiting for.
Justin Jefferson (MIN)
Through four weeks, Jefferson leads the league in yards per route run (3.70). He’s now in a full-time role and it’s leading to fantasy points. It is worth noting that there’ll be some regression to his yards after the catch. Based on his separation at target, NFL’s NextGenStats suggest that he should be averaging around 4.5 yards after the catch, but he’s managed to average 8.1 yards to this point. He could very well be above average, but that’s the second-largest gap in the league with that particular stat. The Seahawks have allowed 336.3 yards per game… to receivers alone. I’m not making that up. You can go and double-check it. The volume is obviously there (135 targets), and so is the efficiency (9.96 yards per target). The 258.5 PPR points they’ve allowed to receivers is nearly 60 points more than any other team has allowed. It’s why we’ve already seen nine different receivers score 15-plus PPR points against them and finish as top-25 options. I can’t even begin to describe how ridiculous that is. Even if Thielen and Jefferson both finished top-25 this week, it would be an improvement on what they’ve allowed to this point. Digging even deeper, they’ve allowed 10 receivers to total 65-plus yards, which is great for projecting Jefferson’s floor. You could make the case for him to be played as a top-24 receiver this week.
T.Y. Hilton (IND)
Thanks to my friend JJ Zachariason, here are Hilton’s fantasy finishes over his last nine games (most recent last): 58, 64, 58, 61, 38, 50, 87, 56, and 76. That’s… not good. We do want to latch onto the fact that he’s the No. 1 receiver in this offense, but what does that really mean you’re your team is averaging just 30.3 pass attempts per game, and your target share is just 18.1 percent? We need more pass attempts and a higher target share for him to produce. Receivers have averaged a healthy 27.0 targets per game against the Browns, which ranks as the second-most in the league, but quarterbacks have also averaged a massive 45.5 pass attempts per game. It is worth noting that Hilton got loose behind the Bears secondary for what would’ve been a long touchdown, but Kyle Fuller opted to take a pass interference and hold him rather than allow the touchdown. Hilton moves back-and-forth on both sides of the formation, so he’ll see a mix of both Denzel Ward and Terrance Mitchell. As a whole, the Browns have allowed the second-most fantasy points to receivers, but volume is the reason, as they’ve allowed the 17th-most PPR points per target to them. Receivers have actually seen 20 targets against them in the red zone while no other team has seen more than 13 of them. You can’t say he’s a lock for much of anything, so we have to keep him in WR4 territory until he gets back on track. It helps to know that seven receivers have already finished as top-38 options against the Browns, but again, volume is the disconnect here.

Dalton Schultz (DAL)
Since taking over for Blake Jarwin as the starter, Schultz has been the No. 3 tight end in fantasy football. His worst game was a four-catch, 48-yard performance against the Seahawks. Any time you have a tight end averaging 8.0 targets per game from an offense that is scoring 31.5 points per game (third in NFL), you must pay attention. He did seem to suffer an injury towards the end of last week’s game, and it’s being listed as a thigh injury, so we’ll pay attention as the week goes on. The Giants have not been a team to attack with tight ends to this point, as they’ve allowed just 1.34 PPR points per target to them under the new defensive scheme. It certainly helps efficiency numbers when they’ve played against Eric Ebron, Jimmy Graham, Ross Dwelley, and Tyler Higbee, but still, they’ve done a solid job with the position. Knowing the volume should come down for the entire passing game this week in a game they’re projected to crush, we must lower expectations for Schultz, though he’s still on the low-end TE1 radar with his usage.
Greg Olsen (SEA)
We’re now four weeks into the season and Olsen still has a large gap on the routes run over Dissly. In Week 4, Olsen ran 22 routes while Dissly ran just nine of them. On the season, the tally is Olsen 103, Dissly 39, and Jacob Hollister 22. Olsen has been competent outside of the one Week 2 game, racking up five receptions in each of the last two games. He’s now finished as a top-16 tight end in three of four games, giving him streaming appeal. The Vikings were one of the best teams in the league against tight ends last year, but they’ve struggled a bit in 2020. They haven’t allowed a touchdown to them, keeping their overall numbers down, but the 75 percent completion-rate, and 14.83 yards per reception are both massive. It’s amounted to 11.13 yards per target, the third-highest mark in the league. Over their last three games, they’ve allowed 5/111/0 to Mo Alie-Cox, 5/61/0 to Jonnu Smith, and then 3/46/0 to Jordan Akins in a half of a game (left with concussion). If you wanted to stream Olsen as a high-end TE2, you shouldn’t let anyone talk you out of it.
