  • Jaxson Dart QB | NYG

    Giants' Jaxson Dart: Leads team to win in first start

    Dart completed 13 of 20 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers. He added 54 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.

    Making his first NFL start, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 Draft led the Giants to their first win of the year, scampering for a 15-yard TD on the team's first drive and then hitting Theo Johnson for a three-yard score -- Dart's first career passing touchdown -- in the third quarter. Despite the positive result in the standings, it was not an entirely encouraging performance from the young QB. New York's porous offensive line allowed Dart to be sacked five times and take plenty of other hits, and, per Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports, he had to leave the field briefly to be checked for a concussion. In worse news for the Giants and Dart, Malik Nabers left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury that's feared to be a torn ACL. If Nabers is lost for the season, or misses any time at all, Dart would have arguably the weakest group of pass catchers in the league at his disposal for a trip to New Orleans in Week 5.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Three catches in season debut

    Godwin (ankle) secured three of 10 targets for 26 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Godwin made his season debut after completing his recovery from last October's ankle dislocation, and despite concerns he'd be eased into action, the veteran wideout finished tied for the team lead in targets with Emeka Egbuka. Godwin's inefficiency wasn't unexpected considering the coverage skills of the Eagles' secondary and his long layoff, but the immediate attention from Baker Mayfield was also warranted due to the absence of Mike Evans (hamstring). With Evans expected to miss multiple games, Godwin is likely to remain heavily involved in the passing attack in a Week 5 road trip to Seattle.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Can't find running room

    Montgomery rushed the ball nine times for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

    The game script set up well for Montgomery, as the Lions led by multiple scores for nearly the entire second half. However, Jahmyr Gibbs out-touched him 17-9, and Montgomery was stymied even when he did get opportunities. His longest rush went for only four yards, and he failed to reach 20 rushing yards for only the third time in his 32 games with the Lions.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Scores TD in Week 4

    Miller totaled 11 carries for 65 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 loss to Buffalo.

    Miller logged double-digit carries for the first time this season en route to his most productive rushing output of 2025. The third-year back found the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown on his first carry of the game, and logged only four fewer carries than Alvin Kamara. Miller struggled to maintain consistent playing time during his first two seasons due to injuries and an overall lack of production, and this was his best career outing aside from a big Week 18 performance in 2023. He'll look to carve out a larger workload once again during the Saints' Week 5 matchup versus the Giants, whose defense has allowed a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry this season.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | PHI

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Healthy scratch yet again

    Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Packers.

    This is now the fourth time in four games that Blue has been a healthy scratch to open his rookie year. The fifth-round pick remains behind Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders on the depth chart.

  • Nate Wiggins CB | BAL

    Ravens' Nate Wiggins: Carted to locker room

    Wiggins was carted to the locker room after suffering an elbow injury during Sunday's game against the Chiefs and is questionable to return, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Wiggins appeared to sustain the injury while tackling Isiah Pacheco early in the fourth quarter. He's considered questionable to return, but Wiggins is unlikely to return to the contest given that he was carted off the field and the deficit that the Ravens face. T.J. Tampa and Keyon Martin will see more work with the first-team defense due to the absences of Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey (calf).

  • Keenan Allen WR | IND

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Five grabs in Week 4 loss

    Allen caught five of seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

    The veteran wideout failed to haul in at least 60 yards for the first time this season and saw his TD streak end at three games, but Allen still racked up at least five receptions for the fourth straight week to begin his reunion with the Chargers. He'll take a 24-231-3 line on 35 targets into Week 5's clash with a vulnerable Commanders secondary.

  • Aaron Banks G | GB

    Packers' Aaron Banks: Won't play Week 4

    Banks (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    A groin injury prevented Banks from practicing all week, and the 2021 second-rounder will be sidelined for Sunday's game as expected. Sean Rhyan and Jordan Morgan are candidates to start at left guard in Banks' absence.

  • Javon Bullard SAF | GB

    Packers' Javon Bullard: Good to go against Dallas

    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.

  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Finds end zone again Sunday

    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.
