Geoff Swaim-TE (Dallas Cowboys)
I waited on Geoff Swaim last week after his game where he went 3 receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown. This week against a tough Houston defense he added 3 receptions and 55 yards. If Swaim is going to be a constant part of this Cowboys offense he should be added. With Dak dunking the ball instead of going downfield he will continue to see targets.
Curtis Samuel-WR (Carolina Panthers)
Curtis Samuel returned to the Panthers last week after some heart issues. He didn’t wait to make his presence felt by adding a 25 yard touchdown catch. Samuel knows this offense well after battling last year for a spot in a limited wide receiver group. If he can build on this game, he will be worth an add in deep fantasy leagues.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling-WR (Green Bay Packers)
Marquez Valdes-Scantling seized the opportunity that he got when his fellow wide receivers were out for the day. 10 targets 7 receptions and a touchdown is a heck of a day. Rodgers has trust in him or else he wouldn’t throw his way so as long as he is getting opportunities to start he is a WR2.
Mike Gesiki-TE (Miami Dolphins)
Mike Gesicki has been trending up the last three weeks. A star tight end at Penn State that has a lot of potential. His potential unfortunately is in the hands of quarterback Ryan Tannehill and Adam Gase. If they can create ways to get Gesiki the ball he has TE2 potential this season. Dynasty leagues add Gesicki he will be a star.
Austin Ekeler-RB (Los Angeles Chargers)
Austin Ekeler has been producing consistently for weeks. He is one of the top handcuffs in the league right now. He has a receiving touchdown in each of his last 2 games. If something was to happen to Melvin Gordon Ekeler would become an instant RB1 with a similar make up like Giovanni Bernard.
Corey Clement & Wendell Smallwood-RB (Philadelphia Eagles)
Jay Ajayi tore his ACL and is out for the season. Next in line is Corey Clement who is coming off of a quad injury and Wendell Smallwood. Look for the Eagles to go with these guys in Week 6. If it doesn't work I expect the Eagles to be aggressive in the trade market after restructuring Fletcher Cox contract on Monday. Is Le'veon Bell available?
Greg Olsen-TE (Carolina Panthers)
Greg Olsen started back practicing late last week from his early season foot injury. He was ruled out for week 5 play but he hopes he can get on the field this week. In most leagues, he was likely dropped with no timeline of his return. With the crappy tight end field, I would add Olsen.
