Hill rushed four times for 18 yards and caught all six of his targets for 78 yards and a receiving touchdown in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.

Hill finished as the Ravens' leading receiver on a night dominated by Baltimore's rushers. The electric backup continued to generate hype with his biggest output of the season. Most of Hill's damage was done running routes Sunday, most notably on a 19-yard touchdown grab in the second half where he shook his assignment before hitting the open field for his first score of the campaign. Starter Derrick Henry stole the show with a 24-199-1 rushing line, but Hill still provided Flex value with 96 yards and a score on just 10 touches. Even if there isn't room in your starting lineup, it wouldn't be a bad idea to stash Hill on the bench if he is still out there ahead of Week 5's tilt against Cincinnati.

Henry ran for 199 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries while securing all three of his targets for 10 yards and another score in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.

King Henry ruled supreme on Sunday Night Football from start to finish with his best game as a member of the Ravens. The longtime Tennessee tailback ripped off a franchise-high touchdown run of 87 yards on Baltimore's first offensive play of the night. It was steady sailing from there, as Henry proceeded to rack up over 200 combined yards with two trips to the end zone in a statement win over Buffalo. The 30-year-old has rumbled for 480 yards and five touchdowns in just four games with his new club. Fantasy managers should continue to ride King Henry's hot streak into next week's road tilt against the Bengals.

Cook rushed nine times for 39 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.

Cook scored four touchdowns over the previous two games but watched Ty Johnson score a three-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter. Buffalo's entire offense crashed down to earth with just 10 points after averaging 37.3 in Weeks 1-3, and Cook was held to exactly 39 rushing yards for the second consecutive game. While Cook remains the top option in Buffalo's backfield heading into a Week 5 trip to Houston, Josh Allen is a perpetual threat to call his own number in short-yardage situations, and Johnson has chipped in a touchdown in consecutive games.

Sermon rushed the ball five times for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Sermon didn't earn his first touch until late in the third quarter but closed out the game as the Colts' lead back after Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was forced to the sidelines. He was ineffective with his opportunity, but Sermon could be in for a significant workload in Week 5 against the Jaguars if Taylor is unable to suit up.

Steele rushed the ball twice for six yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers. He added one reception on three targets for zero yards.

Steele started the game but lost a fumble on the first drive and was ineffective across the team's first three possessions. Kareem Hunt took over as the team's lead back while Steele did not record a touch after the first quarter, though he was targeted once shortly after halftime. Hunt did well in the role, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he has permanently moved past Steele on the depth chart.

Hunt rushed the ball 14 times for 69 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers. He added two receptions on three targets for 16 yards.

Carson Steele drew the start in Kansas City's backfield, but Hunt took over after Steele picked up only six yards on two carries and lost a fumble on the team's first three offensive possessions. Meanwhile, Hunt went on to clearly lead the team's backfield -- Steele and Samaje Perine logged only three and five touches, respectively -- while also displaying decent efficiency. The only downside to Hunt's potential role as the Chiefs' lead back is that he was subbed out for a goal-line carry in favor of Perine midway through the fourth quarter.

Taylor was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain after Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers, but it's believed to be a mild version of the injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Taylor will get additional tests Monday to confirm the diagnosis, but the early news on the ankle injury that forced him out of Sunday's win is relatively positive. This high-ankle sprain isn't believed to be as bad as some of the previous ones Taylor has dealt with. Nonetheless, Taylor may miss some game action, and Trey Sermon would be in line to lead Indianapolis' backfield in Week 5 against the Jaguars if Taylor doesn't play.

Dobbins rushed the ball 14 times for 32 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs. He added three receptions (on four targets) for 30 yards.

Dobbins maintained his stronghold on the Chargers backfield, out-touching Gus Edwards 17-6. His efficiency disappeared, however, as he was held to two or fewer yards on nine of his 14 carries. Dobbins now has been bottled up for a combined 76 yards on 29 rush attempts in his last two games, though he's faced two of the better run defenses in the league after squaring off against Pittsburgh in Week 3. Dobbins should continue to have volume on his side when the Chargers return to the field Week 6, and he'll have a better chance of turning in improved efficiency.

Gibson rushed six times for 12 yards and caught three of four targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco.

Gibson got some work late in Sunday's lopsided loss after starter Rhamondre Stevenson fumbled for the second time in as many weeks. The veteran backup made his mark on the contest with a 50-yard reception in the fourth quarter. While Gibson outperformed Stevenson on a per-touch basis, he still trailed the latter by nine combined touches on the day. The former Washington Commander has generated some deep-league appeal with a couple of standout performances, but a change in roles would be necessary for Gibson to become a weekly starter in fantasy.

Johnson rushed seven times for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.

After impressing in his first action of the year in Week 3, Johnson served as the clear No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift this week. With Swift having his best game of the season, Johnson may not push Swift for the lead role right now. However, Johnson may have done enough to retain change-of-pace duties with possible goal-line opportunities.
