McKinnon recorded two carries for minus-1 yard and caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

McKinnon played on just 18 of the Chiefs' 80 offensive snaps and could not make any impact with his three opportunities in the contest. Starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire continued his streak of efficiency, finding the end zone twice. McKinnon and fellow depth running back Isiah Pacheco have been limited in their share of the backfield with Edwards-Helaire playing a much bigger role. It was the rookie Pacheco, however, who provided a spark on offense and looked sharp as a rusher compared to McKinnon. With that said, McKinnon has been used in scoring position on several occasions so far this season, so he has the potential to find the end zone as part of a great offense. With that said, the 30-year-old just isn't seeing enough opportunities to make him a viable fantasy starter. The veteran is best left out of lineups when the Chiefs host the Raiders in Week 5.

Cook did not record a single rushing attempt and failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Ravens.

Cook was a complete non-factor in the contest, playing just two offensive snaps. Starter Devin Singletary is handling the majority of the team's snaps out of the backfield, leaving few opportunities for both Cook and fellow backup Zack Moss. The rookie Cook will look to improve upon his down week as Buffalo's No. 3 running back when the Bills host the Steelers in Week 5.

Moss rushed three times for six yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Ravens.

Moss played just six offensive snaps in Week 4, marking his lowest total of the season thus far. On the other hand, starter Devin Singletary played 88 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps in the contest, which was his highest snap percentage in the first four weeks. Taking a major backseat to Singletary, Moss is becoming increasingly difficult to trust for fantasy. The veteran's limited opportunities are a concerning trend, and he should be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Bills host the Steelers in Week 5.

Williams rushed five times for 48 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Williams operated as the Commander's No. 3 running back in the contest, playing just six of 74 offensive snaps. Through the first four weeks of the season, the 28-year-old veteran has recorded 54 yards on six rushing attempts. Williams will remain far off the fantasy radar in Week 5 when the Commanders host the Titans.

Benjamin notched five carries for 36 yards and hauled in his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 26-16 win in Carolina.

While Benjamin finished third in offensive snaps (11 of 76) behind James Conner (50) and Darrel Williams (16), he earned the second-most touches among the trio (Conner had 18, and Williams had four). Benjamin also returned two kickoffs for 43 yards and kicked off in place of Matt Prater after the Cardinals' last three scores, one of which he logged a tackle. Not only does Benjamin appear to be the 2A option out of the backfield, he also seems to be the team's emergency kickoff specialist.

Williams had four carries for 19 yards and couldn't gather in his only target during Sunday's 26-16 win at Carolina.

Williams actually received the first touch among Cardinals running backs Week 4, but he logged the second-most offensive snaps (16 of 76) behind James Conner (50) and ahead of Eno Benjamin (11), while finishing third in touches behind Conner's 18 and Benjamin's six. As such, Williams still seems like the 2B option at best in the team's backfield, which doesn't give him much utility without an absence from one of Conner or Benjamin.

Felton is listed as the primary punt returner on the Browns' unofficial depth chart for Week 5 against the Chargers.

Felton helped replace Jerome Ford (ankle) on kickoff returns Sunday and may get a crack at returning punts this coming weekend. Donovan Peoples-Jones, who returned punts in Week 4, is now listed only as a wide receiver, while D'Ernest Johnson tops the kickoff return depth chart. Felton opened the season as the primary returner for both punts and kickoffs but has since lost both jobs.

Johnson played one snap on offense and 17 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Falcons.

Johnson, who was inactive the first two weeks, saw his first action on offense in Week 4. He also helped replace the injured Jerome Ford (ankle) on kickoff returns. With Ford hitting injured reserve Tuesday, the Browns listed Johnson as Ford's replacement on the team's unofficial depth chart for Week 5 against the Chargers.

Chestnut signed with the Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Chestnut was on the team's 53-man roster, but he was waived from it Saturday. He now rejoins the team, but this time on the practice squad. He'll use the opportunity to earn a chance to get back on the active roster.

Taylor (ankle) was officially listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

For the second day in a row, the Colts didn't hold a formal practice session, but Taylor's right ankle remained bothersome enough to confine him to the sideline for Tuesday's walk-through workout. Even though he hasn't taken any on-field reps and was spotted in a walking boot Tuesday, the 23-year-old still has a chance at being available for Thursday's game against the Broncos. According to Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus, the right ankle injury Taylor suffered in last Sunday's loss to the Titans is considered mild, which could result in his status for Week 5 being a game-time decision. Per Boyd, the running back also acknowledged Tuesday that he's still dealing with the case of turf toe that landed him on the injury report last week, though Taylor wouldn't say whether the toe issue is to the same foot as the ankle sprain. In any case, his injured toe is seemingly a lesser concern than his ankle sprain.
