Elliott ran for 49 yards on 19 carries while catching two passes for 32 yards on two targets in a win over Washington on Sunday.

The Washington defense showed a lot of respect to the Dallas ground game Sunday, which was unfortunate for Elliott's fantasy investors but played a big role in why Cooper Rush was able to produce efficiently as a passer in the 25-10 win. Washington succeeded in its attempt to sell out against the run, but the fact it still lost shows Elliott did his part in the win. Tony Pollard was similarly held to six yards on eight carries. Unfortunately for Elliott, he gets a potentially tough Week 5 matchup against the Rams.

Penny rushed 17 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns and brought in his only target for six yards in the Seahawks' 48-45 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Penny kept up his strong start to the season with his first 100-yard game of the campaign, getting past the mark largely on the back of 36- and 41-yard touchdown runs in the second half that helped seal the wild win for Seattle. The latter scamper came at an especially critical time, transpiring with 2:14 remaining after the Lions had closed to within three points. Penny's pair of trips to the end zone were also his first of the season, and he'll take an impressive 6.0 yards per carry figure into a tough Week 5 road matchup against the Saints' talented defensive front.

Ekeler carried the ball 13 times for 60 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Texans. He added six receptions on seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Ekeler had largely been bottled up on the ground through the first three games of the season, but he exploded for a big performance both on the ground and as a receiver. He tallied both of his rushing scores prior to halftime, punching the ball in from 10 and 20 yards, respectively. Sony Michel got expanded work on the ground in the second half as the Chargers tried to run out the clock, but Ekeler did clinch the victory with a 14-yard receiving score toward the end of the fourth quarter. While he has been inconsistent as a rusher, Ekeler has at least six receptions and 48 yards in each of his last three games.

Sanders rushed 27 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns while catching two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Jaguars.

Sanders nearly doubled his total yards from scrimmage from the previous three games in one fell swoop, chipping in his second and third touchdowns for good measure. The lack of targets out of the backfield (nine through four games) remains a minor issue for the fourth-year back, but the results on the ground have been strong early on. Sanders should be treated as an RB1 heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Cardinals.

Herbert rushed 19 times for 77 yards and caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants.

After averaging 7.3 yards per carry through three games, Herbert failed to find as much room as the focal point of Chicago's run-first offense with David Montgomery (ankle/knee) sidelined. Even if Montgomery returns in Week 5 against the Vikings, Herbert should maintain a prominent role in Chicago's run-heavy offense as he looks to top 100 scrimmage yards for a third consecutive week.

Singletary rushed 11 times for 49 yards and secured four of five targets for 47 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Singletary finished with a strong fantasy performance overall despite the lack of touchdowns and a first-quarter lost fumble that led to a Ravens field goal. The versatile back was once again encouragingly involved in the passing game after racking up a season-high nine receptions in Week 3, and Sunday's effort on the ground marked his first time over 4.0 yards per carry since Week 1. Singletary's next opportunity to build on his early season production comes in a Week 5 home matchup against the Steelers.

Harris rushed 18 times for 74 yards during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Harris recorded a season-high 18 carries during Sunday's matchup, and his 4.1 yards per carry also represented his highest mark of the season. However, he was held without a target as the Steelers made a change at quarterback after halftime. It's not yet clear whether Mitch Trubisky or Kenny Pickett will serve as the team's starting quarterback going forward. However, even though Harris was less involved in Pittsburgh's passing game against the Jets, it's possible he'll face less crowded boxes if the team turns to Pickett at quarterback and finds more success through the air.

Dobbins rushed 13 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and secured all four targets for 22 yards and another score in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Playing in his second game of the season following a year-plus absence due to a gruesome August 2021 knee injury, Dobbins saw his touch count bump up after a quiet season debut in Week 3. The third-year back paced the ground attack in carries and made his first two trips to the end zone since the 2020 season, scoring on a one-yard shovel pass and a four-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Dobbins unsurprisingly found running room mostly at a premium against a tough Bills defense -- outside of his game-long 16-yard run, he gained 25 yards on his other 12 carries -- but his ability to handle a heavier workload and his solid amount of involvement in the passing game were both very encouraging for fantasy managers. Dobbins' next opportunity to continue rounding into form comes in a Week 5 Sunday night divisional battle against the Bengals.

Gibson ran for 49 yards on 13 carries and caught three passes on three targets for 14 yards against Dallas on Sunday.

It's not clear why, but Washington gave five carries to Jonathan Williams and eight to J.D. McKissic as it lost by 15 points. Gibson doesn't seem to have much traction in the Washington offense despite doing reasonably well with the scattered chances he gets, and Brian Robinson's pending return certainly won't help his cause.

Murray rushed the ball 11 times for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Vikings. He added one reception for eight yards.

Murray split touches evenly with Mark Ingram, in the absence of Alvin Kamara (ribs). Murray looked more impressive with the opportunity, highlighted by eight rushes of more than five yards. He also plunged into the end zone from one yard away to tally his first touchdown of the season. Murray has spent the majority of the campaign on the Saints' practice squad, though he could return to the active roster if Kamara remains out for a Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks.
