Adam Humphries caught six passes for 36 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Bears.

Humphries might have seen extended run after Chris Godwin had an up-and-down game in Week 4, and the Buccaneers simply couldn’t get going offensively with Ryan Fitzpatrick getting benched for Jameis Winston. The 25-year-old won’t be a recommended fantasy option when Tampa Bay returns from their bye to face Atlanta.

Andy Dalton throws three touchdowns to lead Bengals to Week 4 win.

Dalton had another very good game in the first quarter of the season, as he went 29/41 for 337 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception along with two carries for 13 yards in a win in Atlanta over the Falcons. The first to scores were to Tyler Eifert and John Ross, and the third was a game-winner to A.J. Green on an out-breaking route in the end zone with under ten seconds remaining. Through four games, Dalton is on pace for 4,788 yards, 44 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions. We expect those touchdown and interception paces both to drop, but Dalton is operating an offense with a ton of weapons. Dalton is at least a streaming option for Week 5 against the Dolphins.

Peyton Barber handles eight touches in blowout loss.

Barber rushed seven times for 24 yards, also adding a six-yard reception in Tampa Bay’s 48-10 defeat. The third-year back has combined for just 15 carries over the past two weeks, and he’s on pace for just 592 yards and no touchdowns at the quarter mark of the season. Plus, second-round pick Ronald Jones II was finally active in Week 4, so Barber’s outlook isn’t looking great heading into the bye. He will be a risky FLEX option when the Bucs take on the Falcons in a couple weeks.

Mike Evans contained in blowout loss to the Bears.

Evans caught six passes for 59 yards, as he and the Buccaneers were unable to take advantage of Chicago’s secondary with Prince Amukamara out of the lineup. Heading into the Week 5 bye, Evans is on pace for 116 receptions for 1,704 yards and 12 touchdowns, but we probably can’t expect that to continue after a record-breaking start for Tampa Bay’s passing attack. That said, they will get a great matchup in Week 6 against the Falcons, making Evans a WR1 option.

Allen Hurns catches three passes against the Lions.

Hurns gained 30 yards on his three receptions in the Cowboys’ Week 4 win. Through four games, Hurns has just seven receptions. He’s not a fantasy option at the moment.

Geoff Swaim scores first career touchdown in Cowboys’ win.

Swaim scored on a play-action pass at the goal line, as he snuck out and was wide open in the corner of the end zone. Overall, Swaim had three receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 matchup with the Lions. Swaim is Dallas’ top tight end, but he’s not a reliable fantasy option right now.

DeSean Jackson goes over 100 yards in Week 4 loss.

Jackson caught five passes for 112 yards as the Bucs fell to the Bears, 48-10. The veteran deep threat was held in check last week after a scorching start to the season, but he was able to get back on track with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jameis Winston both getting time on Sunday. DeSean is highly unlikely to keep his 68/1,696/12 pace when the Buccaneers return from their Week 5 bye to face the Falcons. We should expect Winston under center for that matchup.
