  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Struggles with increased volume

    Hunt rushed the ball 13 times for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over Baltimore. He added one reception on one target for 13 yards.

    Hunt had split the rushing workload almost exactly evenly with Isiah Pacheco through the first three games of the season, and while the veteran saw 14 touches compared to Pacheco's nine Sunday, their snap count was nearly even (32 for Hunt to 27 for Pacheco). However, Hunt had a poor day by averaging only 2.6 yards per carry, with a long gain of seven yards. He appears to have the trust of the coaching staff, which could insulate his role, but he has yet to reach 35 rushing yards in a game this season.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Huge performance in primetime

    Jacobs rushed the ball 22 times for 86 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie with the Cowboys. He added four receptions for 71 yards.

    Jacobs had only 48 yards at halftime, but he found more room to work as both a runner and receiver in the second half. The highlight of his performance was an 18-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, which was one of his three ground gains of 10-plus yards. Jacobs also made an impact as a pass catcher, surpassing 70 receiving yards for the fourth time in his career and second time as a Packer. Sunday night's performance was also the first time he surpassed 100 total yards in a game this season, though he has found the end zone in three of four contests.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Leading rusher on 20 carries Sunday

    Williams took 20 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown while corralling all three of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie with Green Bay.

    Williams managed to reach the century mark in total yards while punching in his fourth touchdown in as many starts this season. The 25-year-old is finally delivering on the potential he flashed as a rookie in Denver back in 2021, prior to a serious knee injury in 2022. Williams has a stranglehold on the Cowboys' starting job with 19.8 touches per game, making him a plus fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Jets.

  • Isiah Pacheco RB | DET

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: First score of 2025

    Pacheco rushed the ball seven times for 35 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Ravens. He added two receptions on three targets for eight yards and a touchdown.

    Kareem Hunt saw more volume in the game with 14 touches, though he averaged an abysmal 2.6 yards per attempt and played 32 snaps on offense to Pacheco's 27. Pacheco was more efficient, logging a long run of 12 yards while also finding the end zone for the first time in 2025 with an eight-yard touchdown catch late in the second quarter. Pacheco will be difficult to trust so long as he's splitting opportunities with Hunt, but he's showcased improved efficiency and volume in the last two games.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Receives five touches Sunday

    Tuten rushed four times for 14 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers.

    The 23-year-old rookie took a back seat to Travis Etienne, who cracked the century mark in rushing yards while cashing in a long touchdown. Tuten will find it hard to generate consistent production so long as he is limited to a handful of carries, as he has been early in the campaign. The 2025 fourth-round pick may need an Etienne injury to warrant fantasy consideration heading into a Week 5 matchup against Kansas City next Monday.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Held to 16 yards on 11 touches

    Corum rushed nine times for 21 yards and caught two of four targets for a loss of five yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Indianapolis.

    Kyren Williams handled the bulk of backfield touches for Los Angeles as per usual, finishing with 94 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches. Corum still saw strong touch volume, but he failed to produce much with his opportunities. The nine carries marked a new high for the Michigan product through four games in 2025, but Corum doesn't provide enough upside in his current backup role to warrant starting consideration against the 49ers on Thursday.

  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: Change-of-pace work in victory

    Monangai rushed four times for 18 yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Monangai has seen his rushing attempts fall in each of the last two weeks, and he's been limited to 18 to 36 yards in the last three games. Unless D'Andre Swift misses time, Monangai will be a low-floor fantasy option.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Gets into end zone Sunday

    Gibson rushed six times for 27 yards and a touchdown and returned one kickoff for 28 yards in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    The veteran back retained his role in the Patriots' running back committee despite a Week 3 fumble, logging three fewer carries than Rhamondre Stevenson and one less tote than TreVeyon Henderson. Gibson also scored his first touchdown since Week 13 of last season on a one-yard run with just under two minutes remaining in the first half. He has logged between five and seven rush attempts in each of the last three games, and although he surprisingly has just two targets so far in 2025, Gibson seems to have a relatively secure complementary role in the backfield ahead of a Week 5 road showdown with the Bills next Sunday night.

  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Miles Sanders: Leaves SNF with ankle injury

    Sanders exited Sunday night's game against the Packers with an ankle injury and is questionable to return, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Sanders was injured just before halftime after rushing two times for eight yards, while also adding two catches for 17 yards on two targets. If Sanders is unable to return, fullback Hunter Luepke would be the only other member of the backfield behind Javonte Williams.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Finds end zone Sunday

    Swift took 14 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over Las Vegas.

    Swift was limited during the practice week with a hip injury that had him listed as questionable leading up to Sunday's kickoff. The veteran RB suited up and rewarded fantasy managers with his second trip to the end zone in four games this season. The Bears placed no restrictions on Swift, handing him 14 of its 18 running back carries in the win. He has been generating just enough value on a weekly basis to warrant flex consideration in most formats, but he won't be available in Week 5 with the Bears on a bye, making Week 6 the next time Swift will be in action.
