Taylor rushed the ball 17 times for 76 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Rams. He added five receptions on five targets for 20 yards.

Taylor turned in an efficient day on the ground, averaging 4.5 yards per carry with two gains of more than 10 yards. He also had a 53-yard touchdown nullified by a holding penalty, which held him under 100 yards rushing for the first time since Week 1. While Taylor's performance may have been underwhelming relative to his very high standards, his involvement as a receiver is noteworthy. He has multiple catches in every game to begin 2025, and already has 13 receptions on the season after logging no more than 19 in either of the last two years.

Bates made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during the Lions' 34-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Bates helped the Lions maintain their lead by connecting on field goals from 48 and 58 yards in the second quarter, the later of which was his first successful make from 50-plus yards of the season. He has started the regular season 6-for-8 on field-goal attempts and 17-for-17 on extra-point tries through four games.

Nacua hauled in 13 of 15 targets for 170 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 victory over Indianapolis.

Nacua finally cashed in his first receiving touchdown of 2025, which had been the only ingredient missing from a white-hot start to the campaign. The star wideout garnered a whopping 15 targets for the second consecutive game, confirming his status as QB Matthew Stafford's unquestioned No. 1 option even with the addition of Davante Adams this past offseason. The 24-year-old Nacua is also proving to be one of the top players in general in fantasy with 555 combined yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns through four games, as he scored a 45-yard rushing TD in Week 2. The Rams will face a quick turnaround before hosting the 49ers in a battle of 3-1 NFC West clubs on Thursday Night Football in Week 5.

Marks rushed the ball 17 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Titans. He added four receptions for 50 yards and an additional score.

Nick Chubb earned the first carries of the game and the second half, but Marks alternated drives with him in the first half and then the duo split work in the final two quarters. The end result was that the rookie earned 21 total touches to Chubb's 15, and Marks out-gained the veteran 119-62. He particularly made his mark in the fourth quarter, recording a 12-yard touchdown catch and then rushing in a second score from 18 yards away for his first career TDs. Chubb isn't likely to be phased completely out of the offense, and Marks' increased role late may have been influenced by the blowout nature of the contest, but he's making a case to handle a bigger role on a more consistent basis.

Johnson caught three of five targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers.

While the volume was modest, the tight end tied with Wan'Dale Robinson for the team lead in targets, and Johnson was on the other end of Jaxson Dart's first career passing TD when he hauled in a three-yard score in the third quarter. The Giants' passing game may have lost Malik Nabers for the season to a torn ACL on Sunday, and while that would be bad news for the offense as a whole, it could lead to more looks for Johnson. Johnson will take a 9-66-1 line on 15 targets into a Week 5 tilt against the Saints.

Williams rushed 13 times for 77 yards and caught three of four targets for 17 yards while coughing up a fumble in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

Williams' fumble early in the fourth quarter didn't end up costing his team a shot at victory, but it put a stink on a fantasy score that didn't feature a trip to the end zone. The fourth-year back still finished as the Rams' leading rusher as per usual while out-touching backup Blake Corum 16 to 11 with far better efficiency. Williams has helped offset Corum's increased usage by averaging a healthy 4.5 yards per tote. The 24-year-old Williams will continue spearheading Los Angeles' rushing attack when the Rams host the 49ers on Thursday Night Football in Week 5.

Robinson caught three of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

The five targets tied for the team lead with tight end Theo Johnson, but it was still disappointing volume for Robinson in Jaxson Dart's first career NFL start under center, especially considering that Malik Nabers (knee) was knocked out of the game in the second quarter. Nabers could have a torn ACL which would sideline him for the remainder of 2025, a brutal blow to the Giants offense that would leave Robinson and Darius Slayton atop the depth chart at WR. Robinson will take an 18-237-1 line on 27 targets into a Week 5 clash with the Saints, but the bulk of that production came Week 2 with Russell Wilson at the helm of the offense.

Slayton caught three of four targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers.

While the volume and production were modest, Slayton wound up leading the Giants in receptions and receiving yards in Jaxson Dart's first career start at QB, as Malik Nabers (knee) was knocked out of the game in the second quarter. Nabers' injury is feared to be a torn ACL which would end his season, a development that would make Slayton the team's top downfield option, albeit in arguably the weakest wide receiver group in the league. The veteran WR will take a 9-135-0 line on 13 targets into a Week 5 contest against the Saints.

Chubb rushed the ball 13 times for 47 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Titans. He added two receptions for 15 yards.

Chubb was the first running back to get a touch for Houston, but he alternated drives with Woody Marks in the first half before the duo shared drives and split work evenly in the final two quarters. Chubb was effective for long stretches of the game, tallying six carries or receptions of at least six yards. However, he was out-touched by Marks for the first time this season and could continue to cede work as the season progresses, although the blowout nature of Sunday's contest may have contributed to the rookie seeing more volume.

Skattebo carried the ball 25 times for 79 yards and caught both his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers. He also ran for a two-point conversion.

The rookie RB become the focal point of the Giants offense with Jaxson Dart getting his first career NFL start under center and Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) sidelined, with Skattebo's 27 touches representing a huge increase on the career-high 16 he got last week. That volume on the ground came in a contest that New York led from its opening possession, however, a game script that may not be repeated too often in 2025. Devin Singletary got seven carries as the backup with Tracy out, but Skattebo should remain the unquestioned top option in the backfield Week 5 against the Saints.
