Danny Amendola held in check against his former team.

Amendola caught two passes for 21 yards in a 38-7 loss to the Patriots. Miami’s slot receiver has been extremely consistent through four games with lines of 4/26, 4/32, 3/42, and 2/21, but he obviously hasn’t been the factor in PPR leagues that was hoped for entering the season. Perhaps Amendola will get going in Week 5 against the Bengals, but he’s just a decent FLEX in PPR leagues.

Aaron Jones scores in Packers’ win.

Jones split work with Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery in Green Bay’s backfield, but he was the most effective as a runner with 11 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown—including a 30-yard run. He also had one reception (on one target) for 17 yards. Williams excels in pass protection and Montgomery excels as a versatile runner/receiver out of the backfield, so Jones might not be poised to run away with the clear top spot in the backfield moving forward. However, he’s the best option of the three in Week 5 fantasy lineups.

Kenny Stills bottled up in blowout loss to the Patriots.

Stills caught three passes for 40 yards against a beatable New England secondary, as Miami completed just 11 passes with the starters in the game. Through four games, Stills has been hit or miss, but he’s on pace for a 48/896/12 line and should remain a boom-or-bust FLEX option in Week 5 against the Bengals.

Aaron Rodgers throws one touchdown in Week 4.

Rodgers was 22/40 for 298 yards, one touchdown, and one interception along with five carries for 31 yards in the win against the Bills; he also lost a fumble on a sack in the game. The score was on a quick pass to Jimmy Graham in the flat. Rodgers looked better scrambling and running the ball this week, and he appears to be progressing by the week. Through four games (minus the time he missed in Week 1), Rodgers is on pace for 4,520 yards, 28 touchdowns, and four interceptions; he’s on pace for 268 rushing yards with a 6.1 yard-per-carry despite the knee issue. Keep Rodgers locked in fantasy lineups next week against the Lions.

Albert Wilson handles five touches in loss to the Patriots.

Wilson caught four passes for 19 yards and added a two-yard rush in a 38-7 defeat. Miami failed to get going all afternoon, as Ryan Tannehill completed just 11 passes for the game. Wilson will be a better real-life player than fantasy option in Week 5 against the Bengals.

Kenyan Drake handles just four touches in loss to the Patriots.

Drake rushed three times for three yards and caught one pass for 13 yards. It was an extremely disappointing day after the dynamic running back turned 30 touches into 193 yards in last December’s win over New England, and Bill Belichick’s squad again looks soft against the run in 2018. Miami probably needs to get Drake going if they are going to stay competitive in the AFC East, but right now, it’s best to view the Alabama product as a low-floor RB2/FLEX option until if/when he gets a heavier workload. The Dolphins head to Cincinnati next Sunday.

Khari Lee catches one pass in Week 4.

Lee’s lone reception against the Packers went for five yards. This was Lee’s first catch as a Bill and his first reception since his rookie season with the Bears in 2015. Lee’s role is not big enough to deliver any fantasy value at the moment.
