Player Note on Dayo Odeyingbo (DE - IND)
Dayo showed up in Week 4, racking up one solo, two assists, 1.5 sacks, and one tackle for loss. Dayo is not much of an option outside of heavy byes but is worth a look for those in a pinch for Week 5, thanks to a plus matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Player Note on Vita Vea (DT - TB)
Vita Vea showed up in Week 4, notching two solos, one assist, one sack, and two tackles for loss. The sack was just his first of the season, but Vea remains a DT1 play for Week 5 and beyond. With that said, he is nothing more than bye week filler for those outside of DT leagues.
Player Note on Cameron Heyward (DT - PIT)
Heyward was excellent in Week 4, registering two solos, four assists, one sack, and one tackle for loss. Heyward now has a sack in back-to-back weeks and is firmly entrenched as a top-10 option for a plus Week 5 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Player Note on Payton Turner (DE - NO)
Peyton Tuner showed up in Week 4, notching two solos, one assist, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one forced fumble. The sack was his first of the season, so keep the rotational edge rusher on benches or the wire for the time being. The talent is there for a stash in redraft leagues, but we need to see consistent production before plugging him into lineups.
Player Note on Deatrich Wise Jr. (DE - NE)
Wise was excellent in Week 4, recording two solos, four assists, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one pass defended. Wise has recorded a sack in back-to-back weeks and makes for an intriguing DL4 play for Week 5, thanks to a plus matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Player Note on Braden Fiske (DT - LAR)
Fiske showed up in Week 4, recording two solos, two assists, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one forced fumble. The sack was the first of his career and should lead to an expanded role, but as an odd front end, he is going to be inconsistent. Leave him on benches for Week 5.
Player Note on Montez Sweat (DE - CHI)
Sweat showed up in Week 4, tallying two solos, one assist, one tackle for loss, one forced fumble, and one pass defended. Sweat has now recorded a sack in back-to-back weeks and is safe to trust as a DL1 option for a pus Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Player Note on Jonathan Allen (DT - WAS)
Jonathan Allen showed up in Week 4, tallying four solos, one assist, one sack, and one tackle for loss. Allen has been a disappointment through four weeks of the season, as he had three solos and zero sacks total coming into the weekend. Still, he is a DT1 option and should be treated as such for a plus Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Those looking for a DL4 should look elsewhere.
Player Note on Dorance Armstrong Jr. (DE - WAS)
Dorance was excellent in Week 4, racking up three solos, two assists, 1.5 sacks, one tackle for loss, and one forced fumble. Armstrong has played roughly 60 percent of the snaps for Washington and after 0.5 sacks last week, appears to be heating up just in time for the byes. Tap him as a DL3/4 option where needed.
Player Note on Maliek Collins (DT - SF)
Collins was excellent in Week 4, registering two solos, one assist, 1.5 sacks, one tackle for loss, and one fumble recovery. He has recorded a sack in two straight weeks and is worth a start as a DT1 option for those dealing with byes or injuries. Treat him as a top-15 DT option for a plus Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Player Note on Dayo Odeyingbo (DE - IND)
Dayo showed up in Week 4, racking up one solo, two assists, 1.5 sacks, and one tackle for loss. Dayo is not much of an option outside of heavy byes but is worth a look for those in a pinch for Week 5, thanks to a plus matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

News Reaction on Mark Ingram II (RB - FA) - Mark Ingram suspended four games for PEDs
With the surprise news coming out regarding Mark Ingram's suspension Alvin Kamara needs to be moved up draft boards. Already in the first round conversation Ingram's ban has solidified Kamara as a top five option at running back and should propel him to at least 1,000 yards on the ground. With the Saints claiming they knew about the suspension possibility prior to the draft and that they will not be adding a street agent former Bill Jonathan Williams is the favorite to spell Kamara until week 5
News Reaction on C.J. Anderson (RB - FA) - C.J. Anderson signs with Panthers
The Carolina Panthers made a shrewd move in picking up recently released CJ Anderson from the Denver Broncos after failing to add a starter in the NFL draft. Fresh off his first career 1,000 yard rushing campaign CJ will look to assume the Stewart role in Norv Turner's offense and should push for RB2 numbers this season. His PPR ceiling is limited by the presence of Christian McCaffrey but the 5'8, 228 lbs back should push for 1,000 yards and 7 plus rushing touchdowns for the 2018 campaign.
