The usual suspects are still near the top, but one notable riser is Tampa Bay’s Ronald Jones. With Leonard Fournette (ankle) absent and LeSean McCoy banged up, Jones was targeted nine times and had six catches against the Chargers. If Fournette and McCoy miss time going forward, Jones and rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn will handle the workload out of the backfield and Jones will have more PPR upside, as Tom Brady loves to throw to his RBs.

Elsewhere, the return of James White will be a boon for potential flex plays, and White will continue to be a solid PPR option against the Broncos in Week 5. The Rams RBs, Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown, continue to be heavily involved in the passing game, as well, so while it may be hard to figure out the rotation there on a weekly basis, both flex options.

A PPR sleeper to keep an eye on moving forward is Chase Edmonds. The Cardinals backup saw six targets (good for second on the team) and caught five passes for 24 yards and a TD against the Panthers in Week 4. He’s clearly behind Kenyan Drake in terms of carries, but Edmonds could continue to work as the team’s top pass-catcher out of the backfield. He does have two receiving TDs on the year, so he could be an intriguing flex play against the Jets in Week 5. If Drake’s chest injury is more serious than initially though, Edmonds would be a legit RB2.

Other key players that move up in PPR include Jerick McKinnon (vs. Dolphins), Devin Singletary (@ Titans), Dion Lewis (@ Cowboys), and Nyheim Hines (@ Browns). None can “replace” Aaron Jones, who’s on bye this week, but McKinnon and Singletary come the closest to being able to fill his shoes. Both Lewis and Hines make good replacements for Detroit’s Adrian Peterson and D’Andre Swift, who are also on bye.
