Jaylin Lane Headed for Increased Involvement Once Again

Saturday, October 4, 9:18 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane should continue to occupy a larger role against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5. Teammates Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) remain sidelined for Sunday's game, leaving Lane in line to handle the No. 3 receiver role behind Deebo Samuel Sr. and Chris Moore. In the same role last week, Lane caught two of three targets for 18 yards on a 44 percent snap share. He also fumbled twice, but both loose footballs were recovered by Washington. While Lane appears third in the pecking order behind Samuel and Moore, he'll also have to compete with Zach Ertz, the overall TE11 in PPR leagues, and Luke McCaffrey, the young receiver who has scored a touchdown in each of his last two games. Coming off a contest with a sub-50 percent snap share in an offense where targets remain relatively hard to come by, Lane is nothing more than a low-end WR4 in deeper leagues. He can be benched or left on waivers in most formats.

Jayden Higgins Looks to Find the End Zone for a Second Straight Week

Saturday, October 4, 11:26 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins only had one catch in Week 4 against the Titans, but he made the most of it, hauling in a 26-yard touchdown strike from C.J. Stroud. He only played 31 snaps compared to Xavier Hutchinson's 48 snaps, but he was the more productive option, even though he only had one target. The No. 34 overall pick in the NFL Draft is still battling for playing time and not making a significant enough impact to be a fantasy option just yet. However, he does have the potential for big plays like he showed last week and could work his way into a larger role as the season progresses. For now, he's not a strong starting option, though, since he's only the No. 67 WR in RotoBaller's Week 5 rankings.
