• Don’t forget about Raheem Mostert: Mostert played on Thursday Night Football, which might seem like a long time ago, but he appears to be the top guy in Miami going forward.

• Jump on adding Mike Boone: The Javonte Williams injury appears to be serious, giving Boone a significant opportunity for potentially the rest of the season.

• Romeo Doubs‘ stock keeps rising: The Packers rookie is now a full-time starter, and he scored another touchdown in Week 4.

QB | RB | WR | TE

Quarterback

Jared Goff, Detroit Lions (Rostered in 44.1% of leagues on ESPN)

Goff completed 26-of-39 passes for 378 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in the Lions’ shootout loss to the Seahawks.

• • He did this despite not having his top running back or his top two wide receivers, his third wide receiver not being at 100% and losing one of his replacement wide receivers mid-game.
  • Goff has been at least a top-20 fantasy quarterback every week this season.
  • He joins Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes as the only quarterbacks with 1,100-plus passing yards and double-digit touchdowns this season.
  • He is a matchup-dependent fantasy starter at this point.

Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks (14.6%)

Smith racked up 320 passing yards and two passing touchdowns while adding 49 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground in the Seahawks' victory over the Lions.

• • He also achieved a top-seven fantasy finish last week.
  • His 645 passing yards over the past two weeks are third-most in the league.
  • His 71.7 PFF passing grade prior to this game was eighth-best for a quarterback heading into Week 4.
  • Smith hasn’t been much of a rusher at this point of his career, but he is one of 10 quarterbacks with over 50 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown this season.
  • It’s hard to imagine he remains a top-12 fantasy quarterback going forward, but he can at least be a fill-in during a bye week if the matchup is right.
