Jones carried the ball 20 times for 94 yards and caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Dolphins.

The Vikings' offense failed to produce a touchdown, but Jones got them into regular field-goal position as he set a new season high in scrimmage yards. The veteran RB has held up under a bell cow workload while Jordan Mason (thumb) has been sidelined, averaging 23.0 touches over the last three weeks while still producing 4.3 yards per carry. Jones hasn't gotten into the end zone during that stretch, however, something he'll try to rectify in a Week 5 road trip to New Orleans.

Hampton had nine carries for 45 yards and one touchdown and two catches (on two targets) for eight yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss at Seattle.

Hampton failed to reach 10 rushes in a game for the first time in four opportunities this season, and he ceded a number of backfield reps to position mates Keaton Mitchell (15 touches for 63 yards) and Kimani Vidal (seven touches, 36 yards and one TD). It's unclear if the Chargers intend to keep up more of a timeshare between the trio moving forward, but Hampton's lack of targets (five) so far in 2026 inhibit his overall value if he isn't taking on a majority of the rushing workload. His next chance to take the field arrives next Sunday versus the Broncos.

Wilson racked up 21 carries for 81 yards and one touchdown and added three catches (on four targets) for 39 yards and another TD during Sunday's 30-23 win versus the Chargers.

In the wake of Jadarian Price's placement on injured reserve due to a chest issue, Wilson got the first chance to pace the Seahawks backfield, and he parlayed the second-highest touch count of his career into his second ever outing with 100-plus yards from scrimmage and his second two-TD performance. Meanwhile, fellow RB George Holani himself received eight touches, which he turned into 20 total yards. Until Zach Charbonnet (knee, reserve/PUP list) is able to return to action, Wilson figures to be Seattle's lead runner.

Harvey rushed seven times for 25 yards and secured all 10 targets for 68 yards in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 64 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Denver.

Harvey was only four carries behind J.K. Dobbins on an afternoon where game script eventually turned against the run in the second half, but the second-year back saw the biggest workload of any Broncos pass catcher. Harvey led the team across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and both his catch and target tallies were also career highs. The early exit of Pat Bryant with an ankle injury may have had at least a nominal influence on boosting Harvey's pass-catching opportunities, but the latter is highly valued for his receiving capabilities overall and should retain a solid complementary role in a Week 5 road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Gordon carried the ball nine times for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings. He also caught both his targets for zero yards.

On a day when Malik Willis and the passing game could get very little going against a tough Minnesota defense, Gordon was Miami's only reliable weapon. His longest gain went for 53 yards, and he scored his team's only TD on a 12-yard jaunt late in the third quarter. With De'Von Achane (knee) lost for the rest of the season, Gordon has staked his claim to taking over the lead role in the backfield -- Jaylen Wright, his main competition, managed just seven rushing yards on five carries. Gordon will look to build on this performance in Week 5 at home against the Bengals.

McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 52 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of five targets for 18 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

McCaffrey saw a reduced workload by his lofty standards, although he still outpaced backfield mate Kaelon Black by nine carries. The star back had to tough out the majority of his gains on the ground, including his one-yard touchdown run with just under nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. McCaffrey has yet to top 15 carries in any game this season, but he has four rushing TDs and 340 total yards heading into a Week 5 road showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Jeanty rushed 15 times for 58 yards while catching six of eight targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Jeanty posted another inefficient performance on the ground, as he's averaging just 3.4 yards per carry this season and has yet to score on 78 rushing attempts. The workhorse running back has made up for his pedestrian performance on the ground by contributing consistently through the air, as Jeanty has 19 catches for 155 yards and two receiving TDs heading into the Raiders' Week 5 road game against the Patriots. Backup Mike Washington had just 17 yards on 10 touches Sunday, so he isn't making much of a case to cut further into Jeanty's hefty workload.

Lloyd rushed seven times for 13 yards and brought in all five targets for 36 yards in the Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

It was more of the same on the ground for Lloyd, who barely eclipsed the season-low 11 rushing yards he produced in Week 3 against the Falcons. However, the third-year back set new career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets, offering some modest fantasy value on the afternoon. Lloyd's backfield mate Kaleb Johnson led the ground attack with eight carries for 42 yards Sunday, and although Lloyd remains largely ineffective as a runner, he'll likely remain in a relevant role in Week 5 at home against the Bears if the ankle injury that forced Chris Brooks' exit from the contest keeps him sidelined for that divisional contest.

Walker rushed 22 times for 177 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

Walker's two touchdowns came just 19 seconds apart in the fourth quarter, as he gave Kansas City the lead with a two-yard touchdown run and added a 22-yard touchdown run to create some breathing room after the Raiders fumbled the ensuing kickoff. The free-agent addition has paid immediate dividends for his new team, racking up 537 rushing yards and six total touchdowns through four games with the Chiefs. Walker has handled heavy workloads early in the season and will have a chance to rest up during a Week 5 bye before the 4-0 Chiefs host the Chargers in Week 6.

Skattebo carried the ball 18 times for 58 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 36-24 win over the Cardinals.

The second-year back failed to top 60 rushing yards for a third straight game, but at least in Week 3 he was able to add a 3-40-0 line through the air. Skattebo hasn't gotten into the end zone since the Giants' opener, and through four contests he has 302 scrimmage yards while averaging a disappointing 3.5 yards per carry. He'll try to get going on the ground in a Week 5 road clash with the Commanders.
