Waller secured three of four targets for 27 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night.

The veteran tight end finally got on the field following his year-plus span on the sideline, with the majority of that absence due to his retirement during the 2024 offseason. Waller also had to overcome a hip issue before getting on the field Monday night, but he mostly looked like his old self while recording four- and nine-yard touchdown grabs in the second and third quarters, respectively. Waller's apparent readiness to immediately contribute is particularly a welcome sight in the context of Miami likely having lost Tyreek Hill for the remainder of the season Monday due to a knee dislocation, as the Dolphins offense will be in need of playmakers to absorb the significant loss.

Nix completed 29 of 42 pass attempts for 326 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing six times for seven yards and a third score in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

Nix took full advantage of a cushy matchup and cracked the 300-yard mark in passing for the first time this season. The athletic signal-caller also punched in his first rushing touchdown of the year on a six-yard scamper in the first quarter that wound up being the game-winning score. While this was easily Nix's best performance to date in 2025, fantasy managers may want to keep expectations in check for a road tilt against a far-more talented Philadelphia defense in Week 5.

Shaheed recorded four receptions (on five targets) for 47 yards during Sunday's 31-19 defeat versus the Bills. He added two rushing attempts for five yards.

Shaheed caught exactly four passes for the third week in a row. He tied for second on the Saints in targets Sunday, and he's now logged between five and six targets in each of the last three contests. The 26-year-old speedster has just one catch over 20 yards so far this season, but his consistent target share provides a solid floor for deeper leagues in PPR formats. Shaheed will look to maintain his WR2 role behind Chris Olave during New Orleans' next game versus the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 5.

David recorded three total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Eagles.

David was limited to three or fewer tackles for the second time this year after having just two such tallies over 17 regular-season games last year. The linebacker has now compiled 25 total tackles (12 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed over four games this season.

Hunter posted four tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 26-0 win over Tennessee in Week 4.

Hunter accounted for both of Houston's sacks in the victory when he brought down rookie QB Cam Ward in the second quarter and again in the fourth. It was Hunter's second two-sack effort through four weeks. He already has 4.0 sacks as he looks to reach the double-digit mark for a fourth consecutive campaign.

Taylor had five receptions (on seven targets) for 65 yards in Monday's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins.

This was Taylor's finest game through four starts this season after he finished as the Jets' second-leading receiver behind Garrett Wilson. The 21-year-old Taylor has seen his target share increase on a weekly basis, finally culminating in a stat line that fantasy managers can get excited about. Perhaps Taylor can maintain this level of involvement against the Cowboys on Sunday as the Jets desperately search for a reliable No. 2 receiving option behind Wilson.

Al-Shaair finished Sunday's 26-0 win over Tennessee with three tackles (two solo) and a defensed pass.

This was easily Al-Shaair's lowest tackle of the campaign, but that's partly because the Titans' offense was so overmatched that it had the ball for less than 22 minutes of game time. Al-Shaair added a defensed pass for a Texans defense that dominated from start to finish.

Watts recorded six total tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 34-27 win over Washington.

Watts was able to jump in front of a pass from Marcus Mariota in the third quarter, snagging his second interception of the year. The safety has now registered at least six tackles in three of four games to open the season, and he'll carry some momentum into Atlanta's upcoming bye week.

Sanker recorded three defensed passes, including an interception, and five tackles (four solo) in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Bills.

Sanker achieved a personal milestone when he intercepted Josh Allen early in the second quarter for his first NFL pickoff. That was one of three defensed passes the rookie recorded after notching zero in his first three contests. Jonas has looked great in the early going and has already established himself as a key piece in the Saints secondary, as he's now started three straight games.

Fields (concussion) completed 20 of 27 pass attempts for 226 yards and a touchdown while taking seven carries for 81 yards and another score in Monday's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins.

Fields made a successful return from a one-game absence after suffering a concussion in a Week 2 loss to the Bills. The dual-threat quarterback was decisive in the pocket, getting the ball to his top play makers and taking off for big gains against good coverage. Fields' highlight-reel play came on a broken fourth-and-1 attempt that he was forced to reverse field on and outrun the entire defense for a 43-yard touchdown. While the Jets still can't buy a win, the team's signal-caller has looked like an elite fantasy asset in the two starts he has completed this season. Fields has a great opportunity to keep this momentum rolling in a plus matchup against Dallas in Week 5.
