Outlook Chris Rodriguez
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.

Outlook Kendrick Bourne
Kendrick Bourne vs. Lions — Slot duties in a potential shootout offer minimal standalone value
Bourne enters Week 5 healthy and listed as Arizona's primary slot receiver behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. However, his target volume has completely dried up; after securing just two catches in each of his prior appearances, he failed to earn a single target in his last outing.
Although a projected high-scoring game script against Detroit could force extra passing, Bourne's fantasy floor is virtually nonexistent. Our weekly projection anticipates roughly 2.5 catches for 29 receiving yards (6.2 fantasy points). Rostered in only 2% of leagues, fantasy managers should leave him parked on the bench across all formats.
