After trading away Chase Edmonds, the Dolphins acquired Jeff Wilson Jr. via trade with the San Francisco 49ers.
Poole starts the season off the bench after starting most of last season due to injuries. He will continue to be Steve Kerr’s top option off the bench, barring injuries, but will likely still play starters minutes after signing a big extension right before the start of the season. Poole’s efficiency from the field will return once he gets his legs under him and despite the lack of trips to the line, Poole’s NBA-leading free throw efficiency from last season (92.5%) won’t be going anywhere. Better scoring days lie ahead for Poole and Tuesday was still a decent start.
Montgomery had been nursing an ankle injury that he suffered early in Week 3 but is slated to return to the Bears lineup against the Vikings on Sunday. The 25-year-old back had a strong Week 2 performance, and since his injury, Khalil Herbert has performed admirably in relief of Montgomery. With Herbert's strong outings as of late, and Montgomery just getting back from his injury, there is a chance it could be more of a timeshare on Sunday. Still, Montgomery should be the lead-back against a suspect Minnesota rushing defense. Consider the fourth-year back a risky flex play in Week 5.
Humphrey has shown off his versatility this summer, and his physical playing style at wide receiver could allow him to be used at tight end, thus giving the Patriots an extra roster spot. The 24-year-old totaled 249 yards and two touchdowns with the Saints last season. Even if he does make the Patriots' roster, the wide receiver room is so crowded that Humphrey doesn't have a clear path to fantasy relevance.
