#5: QB - Sam Darnold (MIN)

This is probably your last call on Darnold because it’s looking more and more like his dominant performances this season are legit. He’s also now rostered on close to half of teams across the major fantasy platforms. But, if your QB is one of the many injured, or your streamers aren’t working out, look at Darnold for Week 6. He’s a top-5 fantasy option right now and crossed the 20-point threshold for the second week in a row in the matchup against the Packers. He won’t be available much longer.

#4: WR - Josh Downs (IND)

Remember when Joe Flacco’s presence on the Browns last season directly led to a fantasy boom for guys like David Njoku? Well, so far it looks like Flacco is doing the same thing for Downs. He received 9 targets on Sunday, tying Michael Pittman, and caught 8 of them for 82 yards and a TD. So, follow the Anthony Richardson news closely this week. If the hip turns out worse than expected, Downs will benefit from a Flacco-led attack.

#3: WR - Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG)

Daniel Jones is heating up, and Robinson has been a huge beneficiary. He earned 14 targets from Jones on Thursday night, which was just 1 fewer than Malik Nabers. So, it looks as though Robinson has boxed out Darius Slayton for the role as the Giants’ WR2. He even looked great based on the eye test, showing an ability to find the holes in the Cowboys’ coverages. He’s worth the pickup.

#2: WR - Dontayvion Wicks (GB)

I’ve been a bit hesitant to trust any of the recievers in this Packers’ offense over the long-term, just because there are so many mouths to feed. But, Christain Watson being out with an ankle injury might just change things. Wicks led the team in targets, with 13, and took 2 of them for touchdowns. So, if Watson is going to miss time after being carted off the field, Wicks is the guy to benefit.
