Broncos' Jonathon Cooper: Disruptive in blowout win
Cooper recorded two tackles (one solo) including 0.5 sacks and a pass defensed during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
Cooper helped make things very difficult for quarterback Jake Browning in the backup's second start of the season in Week 4, registering in the sack column for the third time in the first four games of the year. He's on pace for a second straight double-digit sack season with a matchup at Philadelphia on tap for Week 5.

Vikings' Jalen Redmond: Tallies 2.0 sacks Sunday
Redmond notched three tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in a Week 4 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Redmond recorded both of Minnesota's sacks in the defeat. The Oklahoma product didn't take long to make an impact, bringing down Aaron Rodgers for an eight-yard loss on the first play of the game. Redmond later got to Rodgers again for a 10-yard loss in the second period. Through four weeks, Redmond has 3.0 sacks after recording just 1.0 sacks across 13 regular-season contests last year.

Broncos' Nik Bonitto: Stays hot in Week 4
Bonitto recorded three tackles (two solo) including 1.5 sacks during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
Bonitto posted a sack for the third time in the first four games of the season Monday, pushing his sack total on the year up to 4.5. He's easily on pace for his second straight double-digit sack season and is a compelling IDP consideration in leagues that give extra points for sacks.

Gunnar Helm TE | TEN
Titans' Gunnar Helm: Held to one catch
Helm recorded one catch on one target for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.
Helm was on the field for a season-high 43 percent of offensive snaps, but that didn't translate to opportunity. This marked the first time that he failed to record multiple targets in a game this season, though he also hasn't earned more than three in any contest. Helm is a name to consider in deep dynasty leagues but is otherwise off the fantasy radar.

Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Quiet in lopsided victory
Hufanga recorded one tackle (one solo) during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
Hufanga had collected at least six tackles in all of the first three games of the season, but he didn't get many chances in a Week 4 contest that saw Cincinnati run just 43 plays on offense. He figures to get a chance to bounce back in Week 5 at Philadelphia and projects as a strong IDP option in that game.

Isaiah Rodgers CB | MIN
Vikings' Isaiah Rodgers: Blocks kick in Week 4 loss
Rodgers blocked a field-goal try and recorded two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.
Rodgers made a key special-teams play in the second quarter when he blocked a 30-yard field-goal try by Chris Boswell. Through four weeks, Rodgers has totaled 14 tackles, two defensed passes (including an interception) and two forced fumbles while scoring two TDs.

Jordan Battle SAF | CIN
Bengals' Jordan Battle: Tallies nine tackles Monday
Battle recorded nine tackles (four solo) in the Bengals' loss Monday versus Denver.
Battle finished tied for third on the team in tackles while playing every defensive snap. The 2023 third-round pick has racked up at least seven tackles in three of his first four outings, and he will look to produce similar numbers during Cincinnati's Week 5 matchup versus Detroit.

Josh Metellus SAF | MIN
Vikings' Josh Metellus: Racks up nine stops Sunday
Metellus finished Sunday's Week 4 loss to Pittsburgh with nine tackles (four solo).
Metellus and Eric Wilson tied for the Vikings lead in tackles in the loss. The nine stops were a season-high mark for Metellus, who has posted 23 tackles and two defensed passes (including an interception) through four games.

Brandon Jones SAF | DEN
Broncos' Brandon Jones: Doesn't get much action Monday
Jones recorded three tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
Jones tallied fewer than seven tackles for the first time this season in Week 4, albeit in a game in which Denver's defense only had to be on the field for 43 snaps. He was also able to log a pass breakup for the third consecutive game. He should get more tackling opportunities in a Week 5 matchup against a run-dependent Philadelphia team.

Chigoziem Okonkwo TE | WAS
Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Four yards on three targets
Okonkwo recorded one catch on three targets for four yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.
Cam Ward's struggles continued, as he completed only 38.5 percent of his passes while passing for 108 yards. No skill-position player on Tennessee's roster was able to excel as a result, and Okonkwo was no exception. The tight end leads the team in catches with 13 and is third in targets with 19, but that volume has resulted in only 124 receiving yards and zero TDs through four games.
