  • Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Productive in backup role

    Mostert rushed four times for 62 yards and caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears. He also returned four kickoffs for 96 yards.

    Mostert's 2025 debut with the Raiders was highlighted by a 37-yard carry in the fourth quarter, though he ultimately played just eight offensive snaps. Meanwhile, rookie Ashton Jeanty erupted for a 21-138-1 rushing line to go along with a pair of receiving touchdowns on as many targets. Zamir White was a healthy scratch, and Mostert likely flashed enough productivity in his audition to retain the RB2 role ahead of a Week 5 clash against the Colts.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Impressive in multiple roles

    Harvey rushed 14 times for 58 yards, brought in four of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown and ran back two kickoffs for 58 yards in the Broncos' 28-3 win over the Bengals on Monday night.

    The rookie second-round pick saw his biggest opportunity yet with the Broncos dominating throughout the majority of the last three quarters, and Harvey put his touches to good use. He picked up a pair of first downs on his runs, and he recorded new career highs in receptions and receiving yards while scoring his first NFL touchdown on a 12-yard catch with just under five minutes remaining. Harvey still is a complementary option to lead back J.K. Dobbins, who gained 101 yards on 16 carries Monday, but the rookie could continue to see his role expand in a Week 5 road showdown against the defending champion Eagles.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Efficient with 13 touches in loss

    Brown rushed 10 times for 40 yards and brought in all three targets for 31 yards in the Bengals' 28-3 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.

    Brown's opportunities were limited by game script, but he turned in his most efficient performance of the season as both runner and receiver. Prior to Monday night, Brown hadn't averaged more than 2.9 yards per carry in his first three contests, and his 10.3 yards per catch versus Denver edged the 9.0 figure he'd mustered on two grabs Week 2 against the Jaguars. The Bengals offense appears stuck in the mud over its first two full games with Jake Browning at the helm, however, so Brown's fantasy prospects remain muted heading into a Week 5 home matchup against a tough Lions defense.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Ends drought for new club

    Dobbins rushed 16 times for 101 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Monday's 28-3 win over Cincinnati.

    Dobbins made Swiss cheese of the Bengals defense Monday, averaging 6.3 yards per carry while helping his team dominate the time of possession battle (+15:56). The bruising back also ended a drought dating back to the 2022 season of Denver failing to produce a 100-yard rusher. The only blemish on the 26-year-old's night was the lack of a touchdown, ending the scoring streak he started the season with at three games. Dobbins will face a stiffer test Week 5 when the Broncos visit the Eagles on Sunday, but fantasy managers should start their hot asset regardless.

  • Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Six carries in Week 4 win

    Gordon rushed six times for 10 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night.

    Gordon found much less running room than backfield mate De'Von Achane, who picked up 99 yards and scored a touchdown on his 20 totes. Gordon now has single-digit rushing yardage totals in three of his first four games, and although he's earned some short-yardage and red-zone work, he saw Achane cash in on an opportunity in the latter capacity with a nine-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The rookie sixth-round pick's fantasy prospects remain modest heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Panthers that is favorable for ground attacks.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Just over 100 total yards in win

    Achane rushed 20 times for 99 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for two yards in the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Miami.

    Achane rattled off several chunk gains against the Jets defense, particularly on a key fourth-quarter drive as the Dolphins looked to ice their first victory of the season. The speedy third-year back's carry and yardage totals were both season-high figures, as the combination of Tyreek Hill's early exit due to a gruesome knee injury and a game script favorable to the ground game helped Achane's cause. With Hill presumably sidelined the rest of the season, Achane will be looked at to provide some of the explosive component lost by the wide receiver's absence, especially since the former is also a very capable pass catcher. Achane draws a highly favorable matchup Week 5, as the Dolphins travel to Carolina to face the Panthers.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Racks up 111 yards on MNF

    Hall carried the ball 14 times for 81 yards while bringing in five of six targets for 30 yards in Monday's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins.

    Hall bounced back from a pair of ugly outings by cracking the century mark in total yards for the second time this season. Braelon Allen (4-26-0) was nearly splitting work with the starter before exiting the game in the first half after taking a shot to his knee. The injury forced offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand to give Hall -- the Jets' obvious top rushing option -- enough touches to actually generate positive fantasy results. The 24-year-old has yet to hit pay dirt through four starts, a trend Hall will aim to buck in a tasty matchup on paper against the Cowboys on Sunday.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Trey Sermon: Returns to practice squad

    Sermon reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Sermon got a gameday elevation for Sunday's matchup versus Minnesota in Dublin, Ireland. He didn't log any work on offense but did see six snaps on special teams and returned two kickoffs for 51 yards. Sermon's elevation was influenced by Jaylen Warren needing to sit out Week 4 due to a knee injury, but Warren seemingly has a good chance of being back in action for the Steelers' next game given that the team has a Week 5 bye.

  • Jordan Mims RB | TEN

    Jordan Mims: Back with practice squad

    Mims reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Mims was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans, failing to log any snaps in the contest. The running back could earn another elevation in Week 5 if Tyjae Spears (ankle) isn't ready to return from injured reserve before the team's matchup with the Cardinals.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Cam Akers: Reverts to practice squad

    Akers reverted to Minnesota's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Akers was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland. The veteran running back didn't log any offensive snaps in that contest, though he did play three snaps on special teams. With Aaron Jones (hamstring) on IR, Akers could get another gameday elevation this coming Sunday in Cleveland, though he seems to be a distant third on the Vikings' RB depth chart behind Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott.
