Jeanty took 21 carries for 138 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 17 yards and two more touchdowns in Sunday's 25-24 loss to Chicago. He also lost a fumble.

Jeanty's early fumble fortunately did not earn him a benching -- which coaching staffs have been known to do when young players display ball-security issues -- as he went on to produce his best game so far in the NFL. It was a welcome sight from the sixth overall pick in this year's draft, who failed to average over 4.0 yards per carry in any of his first three outings. With a signature performance under his belt, Jeanty's fantasy managers can start him with confidence heading into next Sunday's tilt against Indianapolis.

Jeudy brought in three of nine targets for 48 yards in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Joe Flacco completed under 50.0 percent of his passes on the afternoon, so Jeudy's inefficiency isn't surprising. The veteran wideout did finished second in receiving yards while pacing the Browns in targets, and Jeudy has either eight or nine targets in three of four contests this year. The 2020 first-round pick doesn't lack for upside, but Flacco's struggles -- and the fact that he would be replaced by a rookie if he were to get benched -- depress Jeudy's fantasy outlook.

Little made two of three field goals and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers.

The kicker missed a 47-yard attempt late in the fourth, his second miss in as many weeks. Little did make field goals from 26 and 44 yards. For the year, he's now nine of 11 on field goals and nine of nine on extra points.

Williams recorded two receptions on eight targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns. He added one rush for minus-three yards.

Williams has had a slow start to the season, with Sunday's performance marking the third time in four games that he's logged fewer than 45 receiving yards. This showing was particularly troubling because he led the team in targets, and the Lions seemingly made an effort to get him going. Per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, Jared Goff took responsibility for some miscues when targeting Williams, saying he made poor reads, though Williams also dropped several passes.

Goedert brought in all four of his targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Goedert tied for the team lead in receptions with Saquon Barkley while setting the pace in receiving yards, and he was also on the receiving end of both of Jalen Hurts' scoring tosses. Each of the touchdown grabs was unconventional, with Goedert first crossing the goal line on a nifty two-yard underhand pass from Hurts in the first quarter and then finding paydirt again on a second-quarter shovel pass from five yards out. Goedert is on a bit of a scoring surge with three total touchdown catches in the last two games, and he could be busy again in Week 5 at home against a Broncos team that could force Hurts to get the ball out quickly.

Bowers corralled five of six targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

Las Vegas' passing offense was anemic Sunday, generating just 117 yards through the air compared to 240 on the ground. Bowers managed to lead all Raiders' receiving options in receptions (five) and yardage (46), but it was RB Ashton Jeanty who benefited from both of Geno Smith's passing scores in the loss. It's safe to say that Bowers' sophomore season has been a disappointment through four weeks, with the star tight end averaging 40.7 yards in the three games following his promising Week 1 performance (5-103-0), although he may still be hampered slightly by a minor knee injury he picked up in the opener. Perhaps the 1-3 Raiders will look to feature its best receiving threat more often in a road matchup against the Colts next Sunday.

Henderson rushed seven times for 32 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 14 yards in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 20 yards.

The rookie second-round pick saw two fewer carries than Rhamondre Stevenson despite the latter's Week 3 fumbling issues, but Henderson still turned in a serviceable fantasy performance thanks to his first NFL touchdown. Henderson got into the end zone from five yards out with just under six minutes left in the second quarter, and his rushing yardage tally represented a new career high. He's hauled in multiple receptions in each of his first four games, but he appears stuck in a three-way backfield committee with Stevenson and Antonio Gibson heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Bills next Sunday night.

Stroud completed 22 of 28 passes for 233 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Titans. He added four rushes for 11 yards.

Stroud took some time to find his rhythm, totaling only 82 yards on 14 pass attempts before halftime. He looked far more comfortable in the final two quarters, going 12-for-14 for 151 yards with three completions of at least 20 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown pass to Jayden Higgins. While Stroud's final line wasn't outstanding, it was still an encouraging result as he took advantage of a favorable matchup to post season-high marks in touchdowns and passing yardage.

Slye went 0-for-2 on his field-goal attempts during the Titans' 26-0 loss to the Texans.

Very little went right for the Titans' offense Sunday, but Slye wasn't able to get Tennessee on the board after missing field-goal attempts from 41 and 43 yards in the first and second quarter, respectively. Slye started the season 8-for-8 on field goals but has gone just 2-for-6 over the last two games. Slye and the Titans will look to turn things around in their Week 5 road clash against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Stevenson rushed nine times for 38 yards and brought in his only target for three yards in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Stevenson outpaced TreVeyon Henderson (seven) and Antonio Gibson (six) in carries despite his Week 3 fumbling nightmare, as head coach Mike Vrabel held true to his word about not dinging Stevenson's workload. Sunday's game script also allowed New England to take a ground-centric approach due to its large lead. Stevenson appears to still be the top option -- albeit by a thin margin -- in a three-man committee heading into a Week 5 road showdown against the Bills next Sunday night.
