  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Logs moderate outing Week 4

    Kamara tallied 15 rushes for 70 yards and gathered in four of five targets for two yards during Sunday's 31-19 loss against the Bills.

    Kamara had his second-most productive rushing output of the season and averaged over 4.2 yards per carry for the second time this year. The 30-year-old had been shouldering the bulk of the rushing workload with 50 of the team's 79 carries over the first three games, but RB2 Kendre Miller closed the gap with a season-high 11 rushing attempts for 65 yards Sunday. This may have been part of the Saints' offensive gameplan, as the team logged more rushing attempts (34) than passing attempts (28) for the first time this season. Kamara will look to record his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season next week, facing a Giants defense that's allowed a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry through four weeks.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Tallies 165 total yards in loss

    Irving rushed 15 times for 63 yards and brought in all five targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Irving finished as the Buccaneers' leader in both rushing and receiving yards, the latter largely the result of his impressive 72-yard catch-and-run touchdown down the left sideline on a broken play late in the third quarter. Game script capped Irving's opportunities as a runner somewhat throughout the afternoon, but he still cleared the 60-yard mark on the ground for the third consecutive contest. Irving has no less than four receptions in any contest as well, giving him an outstanding fantasy floor in virtually any scenario heading into a tough Week 5 road trip to Seattle next Sunday afternoon.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Eclipses century mark in win

    Cook rushed 22 times for 117 yards and a touchdown while bringing in three of four targets for 18 yards in the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    The Bills arguably underperformed most of the afternoon given their status as significant home favorites, but Cook's play didn't disappoint. The speedy back was over the 100-yard mark on the ground for the third straight game, and he extended his season-opening streak of rushing touchdowns to four games with a one-yard scoring run late in the first quarter. Cook is averaging 5.4 yards per carry overall, even when factoring in an average of 3.4 yards per tote Week 1 against the Ravens. The versatile fourth-year pro also has multiple catches in three of the first four games heading into a Week 5 AFC East home showdown against the Patriots next Sunday night.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ATL

    Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Hits paydirt against Washington

    Allgeier carried the ball 16 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.

    Bijan Robinson had a massive day with 21 touches, a career-high 181 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD of his own, but Allgeier still made an impact with a 15-yard score late in the third quarter. It was the fourth-year RB's second touchdown of the season, and despite his backup role he's been able to carve out some fantasy value behind Robinson, turning 41 carries through four weeks into 155 rushing yards. The Falcons will be on bye in Week 5, but Allgeier's volume in Week 6 could depend on whether the team can keep things close against the Bills.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Career-best yardage in Week 4 win

    Robinson carried the ball 17 times for 75 yards and a touchdown and caught four of five targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.

    The 181 scrimmage yards were a career high for Robinson, as he hit the century mark in receiving yards for the second time in four games to begin the season. The third-year RB scored on a 14-yard run in the second quarter, his first TD on the ground in 2025, and he's topped 100 combined yards in every game so far. Robinson has amassed 314 rushing yards and 274 receiving yards through four weeks, earning a well-deserved rest during Atlanta's Week 5 bye before facing the Bills in Week 6.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Grinds it out vs. Bucs

    Barkley rushed 19 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 31 yards in the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Barkley continued to find tough sledding on the ground against a stout Buccaneers run defense, but he managed to salvage his fantasy day with a six-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, his third visit to the end zone this season. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year also recorded four catches for the third time in the first four contests, finishing with one of his typically robust workloads. Barkley figures to have to continue grinding for every yard on the ground Week 5, as the Broncos will pay a visit to Philadelphia next Sunday afternoon.

  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Heavy workload as rusher

    Gibbs rushed the ball 15 times for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over Cleveland. He added two receptions on two targets for six yards.

    Gibbs found the end zone early in the contest, ripping off an eight-yard score with three minutes remaining in the first quarter. He also chipped in two rushes of more than 20 yards in the second and third quarters to top 90 rushing yards for the second time in four games this season. With Detroit up by multiple scores for the entire second half, Gibbs saw limited opportunity as a receiver, the only downside to his box score Sunday. He now has four total touchdowns in as many games to begin the campaign, while also topping 90 yards from scrimmage in each of the last three games.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Leading rusher in loss

    Rodriguez carried the ball seven times for 59 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

    Most of his damage came on a 48-yard carry on the final play of the first quarter, but it was enough to lead the Commanders' backfield in rushing yards. Rodriguez watched rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt led all Washington backs in touches with nine, while Deebo Samuel also got three carries and Jeremy McNichols handled three touches, as the entire committee produced 6.7 yards per carry -- a situation that leaves none of those RBs as reliable fantasy plays without a consistent path to more volume. Rodriguez may need a TD to make a splash in Week 5 against the Chargers.

  • Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Remains stuck in committee

    Croskey-Merritt carried the ball seven times for 47 yards and caught both his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

    The rookie running back led the Commanders' backfield in touches on the day with nine, but Chris Rodriguez paced the team in rushing yards, turning seven totes into 59 yards, while Deebo Samuel got three carries in addition to his receiving work and Jeremy McNichols also chipped in with three touches. The overall effectiveness of the arrangement -- 6.7 yards per carry for Washington's backfield as a whole -- was impressive once again, but none of the team's RBs will be reliable fantasy plays without a consistent path to more volume. Croskey-Merritt will try to make an impact with what touches he gets in Week 5 against the Chargers.

  • Jacob Saylors RB | DET

    Lions' Jacob Saylors: Questionable to return Week 4

    Saylors is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a hamstring injury.

    Saylors appeared to suffer the injury during a Lions' punt return. He's primarily been deployed on special teams this season, so his absence won't impact the Lions' backfield, which is led by Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.
