5. Tyrod Taylor, QB, Buffalo Bills (27.8 percent owned)

Last week in a tough matchup against the Broncos, the talented Taylor finished with 213 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and 17.8 fantasy points. This week he’ll take on the Falcons on the road. I have a feeling the Falcons will put up 24+ points and will lead for most of the second half. If/when this happens, Taylor will get plenty of opportunities with the ball in his hands.

Keep in mind, Taylor currently leads all NFL quarterbacks in rushing attempts (24) and is second in rushing yards (106). There’s little doubt he’ll add to those stats on Sunday and I wouldn’t be shocked if he registers his first rushing touchdown of 2017 before this one is over.

4. Charles Clay, TE, Buffalo Bills (40.4 percent owned)

Going into Week 4, Clay is ranked as the fifth-best fantasy tight end and has a touchdown in two out of three games this season. So why is he so under-owned? My guess is most fantasy owners aren’t believers but maybe they should be.

The Bills are without their top-three wide receivers from last year and besides running back LeSean McCoy, Clay is Tyrod Taylor’s most dangerous weapon in the passing game. As long as Clay is healthy and of the field (which he is right now), he should be starting in a majority of 10-team leagues.

3. Marqise Lee, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (42.3 percent owned)

Lee leads the Jaguars in targets with 23. The next closet person, Allen Hurns, only has 14. With Allen Robinson out for the season, it appears Lee will operate as the team’s No. 1 wide receiver. This week he gets a plus matchup against the New York Jets who have surrendered a touchdown pass to an opposing wide receiver in every game this season.
