**Expert Tips: Fill Your Fantasy Football Lineup Holes with These Available Players**

Each week, fantasy football managers face the challenge of plugging holes in their lineups due to injuries, bye weeks, or underperforming players. Often, the waiver wire has already been picked clean by midweek, but there are still valuable assets available that can provide immediate support. Here’s a guide to a selection of under-the-radar players who can be added and started in PPR formats this week. The player availability percentages are based on CBSSports.com leagues.

**Wide Receivers Worth Considering:**

*Josh Downs, WR, IND (50%):* In Week 4, Downs made a significant impact by catching eight of nine targets for 82 yards and a touchdown. His upcoming matchup against the Jacksonville corners is promising, as Pro Football Focus (PFF) rates him with an excellent WR/CB grade of 90.7.

*Wan'Dale Robinson, WR, NYG (53%):* Despite not yet hitting the 75-yard mark this season, Robinson has been prolific in recent games with 18 catches on 22 targets. This week's challenge comes against the Seattle secondary, but his volume makes him a viable PPR option.

*Xavier Legette, WR, CAR (49%):* Rookie Legette emerged on the fantasy radar with a strong Week 4, recording six receptions on 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown. The matchup against Chicago, which ranks sixth in fantasy points per game allowed to wide receivers, could still see Legette positioned well given Andy Dalton's influence on the offense.

*Jalen Tolbert, WR, DAL (8%):* With Brandin Cooks sidelined, Tolbert steps into a larger role. Despite facing Pittsburgh’s tough defense, Tolbert’s nine-target game earlier in the season and increased importance in Dallas' passing attack warrants consideration.

*Keon Coleman, WR, BUF (62%):* Coleman could see more targets in a high-scoring matchup against Houston, particularly with Buffalo receiver Khalil Shakir out. Although Coleman has mostly been used in downfield plays, a big game could be on the horizon with the Bills looking to rebound.

*Tutu Atwell, WR, LAR (43%):* Often overlooked, Atwell has been steadily reliable, posting 93 and 82-yard outings over the past two weeks. His strong WR/CB matchup grade of 86.5 on PFF this week further solidifies his starter case.

*Allen Lazard, WR, NYJ (57%):* Facing the NFL's lowest-ranked pass defense in Minnesota gives Lazard a prime opportunity to capitalize. As a favorite touchdown target for Aaron Rodgers, he is a solid play this week.

**Running Back Additions:**

*Antonio Gibson, RB, NE (60%):* Gibson might gain more relevance if Patriots coach Jerod Mayo benches Rhamondre Stevenson due to fumbling issues. With Miami ranking 29th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, Gibson could be a productive fill-in.

*Tank Bigsby, RB, JAX (41%):* Injuries have limited Bigsby and Travis Etienne Jr., but if Bigsby is fit to play, he’s in line for a good outing against the Colts, who have the weakest rushing defense in the AFC.

*Jeremy McNichols, RB, WAS (49%):* Should Brian Robinson Jr. be sidelined, McNichols becomes a potential lineup option. McNichols impressed last week with 8.5 yards per carry and two touchdowns.

*Roschon Johnson, RB, CHI (52%):* Johnson remains a deeper league option, especially against Carolina's 29th-ranked rush defense. He found the end zone last week and could continue to see opportunities.

**Tight End Options:**

*Tyler Conklin, TE, NYJ (43%):* Facing his former team, Conklin gets a matchup against the Vikings, who are 28th in fantasy points allowed to tight ends. Conklin could be a worthwhile start, especially with many managers struggling to find reliable tight end production.

*Erick All Jr., TE, CIN (8%):* For those in desperate need of a tight end, All has been consistently targeted, catching four passes in each of the last three weeks. Baltimore’s defense allows the second-most points to tight ends, which bodes well for All’s chances of finding the end zone.

**Running Back to Monitor:**

*Tyler Goodson, RB, IND (1%):* With Jonathan Taylor out and Trey Sermon expected to start, Goodson may fit a change of pace role and handle passing downs. He’s a speculative add for managers looking to avoid a zero in their lineup.

These players can provide the much-needed points and stability to cover bye weeks or injuries, making them valuable additions to your fantasy football roster this week.
