Chris Rodriguez vs. Eagles in London — Touchdown-dependent reserve role limits fantasy appeal

Rodriguez continues to work as the direct backup to Bhayshul Tuten in Jacksonville's backfield, handling brief rotational series. While he broke free for an impressive 25-yard touchdown against Cincinnati last week—his second straight game scoring—his volume remains strictly capped, totaling just 14 carries over his last two outings with zero targets in the passing game.

For Week 5's London showdown against Philadelphia, our models project Rodriguez for roughly 6 to 7 carries and 28 rushing yards (4.8 fantasy points). With a minuscule 3% start rate across fantasy leagues and an absence of third-down work, he is strictly a touchdown-or-bust desperation option and belongs on fantasy benches in standard setups.

Darius Cooper vs. Jaguars in London — Expanded Role Beckons Amid Receiver Injuries

Darius Cooper enters Week 5 with significant momentum after catching two touchdowns on seven targets against the Rams. With primary wideouts DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown both ruled out due to injuries, Cooper is positioned for elevated playing time on the outside alongside Dontayvion Wicks.

Cooper has capitalized on his red-zone looks with three touchdowns on five catches this year, though his overall target volume remains limited. Our weekly projection lands at approximately 7.1 fantasy points on roughly three receptions for 32 yards, making him a viable deep-league play or risky flex option in London.
