Bullard (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Bullard has been given the green light to play Sunday after clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol. He will play a prominent role in the Packers' secondary alongside Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, Carrington Valentine and Keisean Nixon.

Johnston caught eight of 13 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

The 2023 first-round pick appears to be coming into his own. Johnston hauled in his fourth TD in four games with a 36-yard strike from Justin Herbert in the second quarter, and he led the Chargers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while setting personal bests for the season in all three categories. Johnston's 2025 rise has coincided with a decline in fortunes for Ladd McConkey, and at some point Herbert may make an effort to get the latter going, but Johnston will be the one taking an impressive 22-337-4 line on 36 targets into a Week 5 meeting with the Commanders.

Goff completed 16 of 27 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Goff served primarily as a game manager with his team cruising to a win, as he took to the air fewer than 30 times for the third consecutive game in Detroit's ground-focused offense. In contrast to those prior games, he lacked efficiency in a tough matchup against the Browns, averaging only 6.2 yards per attempt. Goff still tossed a pair of touchdowns that came from two and eight yards away while also completing three passes of at least 20 yards.

Judkins rushed 21 times for 82 yards and a touchdown and secured all four of his targets for 33 yards in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

While the final score was lopsided, the Browns were reasonably competitive for the majority of the game, which kept Judkins involved. In fact, his carry total was his highest yet through three games, and he got into the end zone for the second consecutive contest on a one-yard run to open the scoring in the first quarter. Judkins' reception and receiving yardage totals were also new career-high figures, and he'll continue in his workhorse role during a Week 5 matchup against the Vikings in London.

McConkey caught just one of six targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

Justin Herbert had his worst game of the season to date, but Quentin Johnston (8-98-1 on 13 targets) still put together a strong performance while Keenan Allen (5-37-0 on seven targets) maintained a solid floor. McConkey, on the other hand, failed to catch multiple passes in a game for the first time in his career. The 2024 second-round pick showed too much chemistry with Herbert as a rookie to think he's suddenly going to disappear from the Chargers' game plan, but McConkey will be tough to have active in most fantasy formats until he begins to show the same kind of spark he did last year. He'll look to begin a breakout Week 5 against the Commanders.

Johnson gathered in all three of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 31-19 loss to Buffalo.

Johnson logged fewer than eight targets for the first time this season, finishing fifth on the team in this category behind wideouts Chris Olave (six), Rashid Shaheed (five) and Brandin Cooks (four) as well as running back Alvin Kamara (five). The Saints also logged more rushing attempts (34) than passing attempts (28) for the first time in 2025, as for the first time this season the team didn't have to chase points while keeping the game within one score until midway through the fourth quarter. Johnson has been one of the top PPR tight ends this season, averaging 5.5 catches on 8.0 targets per game. He'll look to get back on track during a Week 5 matchup versus the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Pearsall (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pearsall missed about one quarter's worth of time in the second half due to a right knee injury, which may have been an aggravation of the knee issue that impacted his practice reps during Week 4 prep. In any case, he'll look to build on a 4-46-0 line on five targets that he'd compiled before his exit.

Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a hamstring injury.

Prior to his exit from Sunday's contest, Jackson completed 14 of his 20 passing attempts for 147 yards with a touchdown and interception while adding six carries for 48 yards. Cooper Rush has stepped in at quarterback for the Ravens in Jackson's stead.

Herbert completed 23 of 41 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants. He added 24 rushing yards on his only carry and ran for a two-point conversion.

The 27-year-old quarterback committed multiple turnovers for the first time in 2025 while throwing for a season low in passing yards as the Chargers took their first loss, but Herbert did salvage his day to some extent with a 36-yard TD to Quentin Johnston late in the second quarter. Herbert still has a respectable 7:3 TD:INT through four games heading into a Week 5 tilt against a Commanders defense that just gave up career-best numbers to the Falcons' Michael Penix.

Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 64 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans. He caught all three of his targets for 12 yards.

Pollard had moments of effectiveness, recording his first rush of at least 20 yards with a gain of 21 early in the second quarter. He also had a decent chunk run of 11 yards one quarter later to reach at least 60 rushing yards for the third time in four games this season. While Pollard has played relatively well, the Tennessee offense is so ineffective that it's hard for any skill-position player to maintain consistent fantasy value, and the eventual return of Tyjae Spears (ankle) will likely cut into Pollard's touch volume.
