Aldrick Robinson, WR, San Francisco 49ers

In a running theme this week, Aldrick Robinson has entered sleeper territory due to an injury, as fellow San Francisco 49ers wideout Marquise Goodwin suffered his fourth concussion in 14 months last week. His absence allowed Robinson to step up in Week 4 with a team-high 12 targets for the 49ers on Sunday. If Goodwin sits out or is limited in Week 5, Robinson will be in line for another heavy workload against quite possibly the NFL's worst defense.

After a quarter of the season, the Indianapolis Colts rank in the bottom three in total yards (396.3), passing yards (283.5), and points allowed (34.0) per game. They have also given up nearly 30 fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts, which is also the third-most in the NFL.

While top cornerback Vontae Davis made his 2017 debut in Week 4, the Seattle Seahawks were still able to rack up nearly 300 passing yards against the Colts with 3 pass-catchers each totaling over 60 receiving yards. Starting cornerback Rashaan Melvin also may not play in Week 5, further weakening an already struggling Colts' secondary.
