Dak Prescott thrives without CD Lamb as Dallas pushes a high-volume passing attack and rides a favorable early schedule. Washington’s backfield breakout by a rookie reshapes Week 6 projections, while Javonte Williams remains a strong late-game closer in Denver’s rushing attack. George Pickens and Terry McLaurin sustain solid target shares, Diggs and Waddle debate floors without Tyreek Hill, and Waller/Kincaid stay reliable at tight end. Waiver targets include Michael Carter, Ryan Fenoi, and Calvin Ridley, with deeper adds like Rasheed Shahid and Mason Taylor offering upside.

An opposing coach previews a Dallas clash on a short week, praising the Cowboys’ productive offense and depth at skill positions. Even with Lamb possibly out, Ferguson and the rest of the receiver corps are highlighted as buildups, while Prescott’s quick processing and off-schedule plays keep drives alive. Defensively, Dan Quinn’s leadership and wrinkle-heavy schemes shape the matchup. The focus is on ball security, finishing drives, and limiting penalties, with depth players stepping in as Braylon recovers.

Judkins surge is flagged as a top-wide buy ahead of week five as the Browns lean into the run with a new quarterback. He’s not yet a guaranteed 100 yards every week, but the ceiling is enormous: roughly 100+ total yards per game with 1–2 touchdowns as 18–25 carries and 20–30 receiving yards become the baseline. The schedule lightens in the back stretch, creating a top-6 to top-10 RB value. Players like Chase and Lamb are urged to consider swapping for Judkins plus package depth such as Quinton Johnston or Addison.

Two-for-one upgrades around Jamar Chase drive the core strategy: he can be moved for a safer, high-upside centerpiece by pairing him with a supporting piece, unlocking targets like Lamb, Jefferson, or Rice. If Henry’s floor is needed when Lamar is out, that adds safe carry. Across the board, the host weighs Bijan, Gibbs, QJ, and JSN as leverage tools and bangs the drum for cross-position moves to shore up weeks with mispriced players.
