Brian Hoyer, Quarterback, Chicago Bears

Following a 397-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, it's readily apparent that Hoyer will remain the Bears' starter moving forward. He's now put up 1,016 yards with six touchdowns and zero interceptions in three starts since taking over for an injured Cutler under center. 

More than this, Hoyer is completing mover than 70 percent of his passes and has made the Bears' offense as a whole look much better than when his counterpart was taking snaps under center. Buy now, and consider him a decent bottom end QB1 option until this recent streak of great play comes to an end. 

James Starks, Running Back, Green Bay Packers

Stop us here if you've heard this before. Starks replaced an injured Eddie Lacy Sunday night against the New York Giants. He responded by putting up a pedestrian 33 yards on 12 rushes. But what we do know is that Starks has performed well in Lacy's stead in the past. Depending on the severity of Lacy's ankle injury (didn't return to the game), there's a chance Starks could see extended action here moving forward. 

Jalen Richard, Running Back, Oakland Raiders

With Latavius Murray battling a turf toe, Richard saw more action than most originally anticipated Sunday against the San Diego Chargers. Most figured DeAndre Washington would be the one stepping into a larger role. That didn't happen. Richard put up 97 total yards on 15 touches, catching 6-of-7 passes thrown in his direction in the process. 

While Murray will likely return to the field this upcoming week, he hasn't proven to be anything special during the early part of the season. With Richard's game-breaking ability, he's a solid waiver wire add as a FLEX option. The rookie is now averaging 7.8 yards per touch on the season.

Sammie Coates, Wide Receiver, Pittsburgh Steelers

With Eli Rogers out of action on Sunday, this second-year receiver took center stage. In fact, he acted the part of Ben Roethlisberger's second-favorite receiver behind Antonio Brown. And it paid off big time. 

There's still issues with drops and Coates did only catch just over 50 percent of the balls thrown in his direction. He did, however, come away with 139 yards and two scores on six receptions, including a 72-yard touchdown catch. 

Coates has now put up 421 receiving yards and is leading the NFL in yards per reception heading into Week 6. He's overtaken Markus Wheaton as the team's No. 2 receiver, and therefore, is a solid WR2 option in 12-team leagues. 

Chris Hogan, Wide Receiver, New England Patriots

After not doing much early in the season with Tom Brady sidelined, Hogan came up big time in Sunday's blowout win over the Cleveland Browns. He caught 4-of-5 passes thrown his way for 114 yards. In reality, this is what New England expected when it added him from the Miami Dolphins durin the offseason. With Brady back in the mix, we can expect Hogan to continue performing at a high level. 

Jeremy Kerley, Wide Receiver, San Francisco 49ers

Outside of Carlos Hyde, there really isn't much to look at as it relates to fantasy production from the 49ers' offense. Though, by pure volume of receptions, Kerley could be a nice add. He's put up at least six targets in each game this season, and has caught 14-of-22 targets for 190 yards and two scores over the past two games. 

Jamison Crowder, Wide Receiver, Washington Redskins

Crowder is now third on the Redskins in both targets and receptions. He's caught 21-of-31 passes for 231 yards through five games. And is now the team's No. 3 receiver with Josh Doctson sidelined for an extended period of time. In a pass-first offense, this makes Crowder a solid bench option in 12-team leagues
