EXPLORE MORE _A look at who to target, and who to avoid for Week 5:_ BUY, BUY, BUY  TYLER ALLGEIER RB, FALCONS  Cordarrelle Patterson will miss at least four games with a knee issue that


landed him on the IR. He split work with Caleb Huntley on Sunday, but so far this year Allgeier has gotten a heavier workload.  RACHAAD WHITE RB, BUCCANEERS  He and Leonard Fournette each


had just three carries in Week 4. But White also got prime touches near the goal line, and recorded a TD. This situation smells of a committee.  ROMEO DOUBS WR, PACKERS  Had a TD overturned


on Sunday, or he would be ranked higher on a lot of waiver wires. He should get more efficient and productive the more time he spends working with Aaron Rodgers.  WILL DISSLY TE, SEAHAWKS 


Some players attract their QB’s attention in the red zone more than others. Dissly is TD-dependent, but he also scores a lot (three times in four games) for a surprisingly OK Seattle


offense.  SELL, SELL, SELL  J.K. DOBBINS RB, RAVENS  Justice Hill ate heavily into Dobbins’ workload Sunday before a hammy issue, Mike Davis is still around, Gus Edwards will return soon and


Lamar Jackson is going to vulture some TDs. Trade Dobbins now, off his two-TD day.  JAMES CONNER RB, CARDINALS  Even if he keeps the goal-line carries, expect Eno Benjamin to continue to


eat into Conner’s workload. Benjamin has consistently been the more productive of the two.  TERRY MCLAURIN WR, COMMANDERS  Not getting the amount of volume within the offense we had hoped,


and terribly inefficient when he is targeted. Blame Carson Wentz, but you can’t put McLaurin in your lineup right now.  D.J. MOORE WR, PANTHERS  If you thought Scary Terry was scary? Moore


is catching well below 50 percent of his targets. Blame Baker Mayfield. The whole Carolina offense is a fantasy disaster, outside of Christian McCaffrey.
