    Which Flex Options Are Intriguing for Week 5?

    Garrett Wilson | New York Jets (vs. MIN)

    A learning curve was to be expected from Wilson, as the role of Aaron Rodgers’ WR1 requires plenty of timing and trust. Yet, September was still underwhelming.

    Wilson has seen 8.5 targets per game, which is a strong number, but he’s yet to reach his expected PPR point total in a single game. He’s seen just one end-zone target, and his yards-per-route rate has declined each week.

    The looks should continue to be there (seven times in four weeks has a receiver seen at least eight targets against Minnesota), and you really have no choice but to trust the process. However, my ceiling projection in any given week for Wilson is lower now than it was a month ago.

    Rhamondre Stevenson | New England Patriots (vs. MIA)

    The game script is going to work away from the Patriots more often than not, but this weekend looks like the exception. That said, are we sure that Stevenson is going to keep getting chances?

    He’s put the ball on the ground in all four games this season (two lost) and averaged under four yards per carry in both games against the Dolphins last season, with none of his 30 touches gaining more than 12 yards.

    If you’re in a bind, Flexing Stevenson is reasonable, though I’m not doing it with the utmost confidence. Avoiding this offense is the move that winning teams in 2024 are making.

    Antonio Gibson | New England Patriots (vs. MIA)

    A 50-yard reception last week made Gibson New England’s top receiver, and it was his second straight game with three receptions. However, the touch count has yet to be expanded at a high enough level to put him on Flex radars (36 touches this season).

    Due to Stevenson’s ball-security issues, Gibson has a path to a lead role and, thus, needs to be rostered. Yet, reasonable minds can disagree on whether that title is worth anything in standard-sized leagues.
