Etienne took 19 carries for 124 yards and a touchdown while adding one reception for one yard in Sunday's 26-21 win over San Francisco.

Etienne produced his finest fantasy score of the season after gashing the 49ers' defense for a 48-yard touchdown on the first play following a turnover at the start of the second quarter. The 26-year-old did not let up from there, taking 19 of the 23 carries the Jaguars allotted to running backs for his second 100-plus yard rushing game of the season. After falling out of favor in 2024, Etienne has reclaimed the Jaguars' starting job under new head coach Liam Coen on efficiency (6.1 YPC) we haven't seen since his impressive rookie campaign in 2021. Jacksonville faces a tough Kansas City defense on Monday Night Football in Week 5, but Etienne's early success this season makes him a must-start asset.

Romo nailed both field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.

The kicker rebounded after missing both of his field-goal attempts in the Falcons' 30-3 loss to the Panthers in Week 3. Romo moved up from the Atlanta practice squad for the team's Week 2 matchup with the Vikings, in which he made all five field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try. The Falcons released Younghoe Koo -- who missed a potential game-winning 44-yard field goal in the season opener against the Bucs -- after Romo's strong game versus Minnesota.

McLaughlin connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Coming off a strong performance in the Bucs' Week 3 win over the Jets (5-for-6 on field-goal tries), McLaughlin broke a franchise record by connecting on a 65-yard field goal in the dying seconds of the second half to cut Tampa Bay's deficit to 18 points. That field goal was one yard shy from matching Justin Tucker's record of 66 yards against the Lions in 2021. McLaughlin has strung together two strong performances in consecutive weeks, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Seattle for the Bucs' Week 5 clash against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Butker made three of four field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Ravens.

In fairness to the Chiefs' longtime kicker, his miss Sunday was from 56 yards. At the same time, he's now missed a kick in every game this season and is just 10-for-13 on field goals and seven of nine on extra-point tries in 2025. Butker will try to get back on track next Monday night against the Jaguars.

McCaffrey took 17 carries for 49 yards while adding six receptions on 11 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to Jacksonville.

McCaffrey stuck to the script that has been unfolding for him through four weeks, with another monster receiving effort that helped mask inefficient rushing totals. The 29-year-old is averaging a career worst 3.3 yards per carry with no rushing touchdowns through four games. Nearly all of his production has come through the air (31-305-2 on a massive 43 targets), but the total package is still elite from a fantasy perspective. CMC is averaging 26.3 combined touches in four starts this season, giving him an extremely high floor heading into Thursday's tilt against the Rams.

Pearsall said he felt some pain and instability after he fell hard on his knee in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Pearsall tried to gut through the injury but returned for just one play in the second half before deciding to shut things down for the remainder of the day. San Francisco has a quick Week 5 turnaround ahead of Thursday night's upcoming divisional battle with the Rams in Los Angeles. If Pearsall can't suit up for that one, the 49ers will again be relying on Kendrick Bourne to play significant offensive snaps alongside Jauan Jennings, who is playing through multiple nagging injuries of his own, and Demarcus Robinson.

Gay went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Commanders' 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

Gay helped the Commanders keep pace with the Falcons when the offense stalled outside of the red zone, connecting on field goals from 43, 52, 41 and 42 yards in Sunday's loss. It was the fifth time in Gay's career that he made at least five field goals, and it was a nice bounce-back performance after he went 3-for-6 across Washington's prior two games.

Santos went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Raiders.

Santos made field goals from 46, 43 and 52 yards in the first half, accounting for all the offense for Chicago as the team went into the break down 14-9. The kicker picked up where he left off in the second half, connecting on a 51-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Santos has now gone 6-for-7 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-3 on attempts from 50-plus yards, while making all 11 of his PATs through four games this year.

Karty made both of his field-goal tries and connected on all three of his extra-point attempts during the Rams' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Karty helped the Rams keep pace with the Colts by connecting on field goals from 42 and 37 yards in the first and second quarter, respectively. Karty has started the season 10-for-11 on extra-point tries and 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts. Both of his misses on field-goal attempts came on blocks during the Rams' Week 3 loss to the Eagles. Karty and the Rams will stay in Los Angeles and welcome in the 49ers on Thursday in an NFC West clash.

Shrader hit both of his field goals and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Rams.

The kicker drilled a 52-yarder in the first quarter and a 38-yarder in the fourth. Shrader has now made 13 of 14 field goals and all 12 extra-point tries in 2025. The Colts host the struggling Raiders next Sunday, which should give Shrader plenty of scoring opportunities.
