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.

Flacco completed 16 of 34 passes for 184 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushes for minus-1 yard in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Flacco's ragged stat line tells the tale of a tough afternoon against an aggressive Lions defense that sacked him three times in addition to the three turnovers. The veteran signal-caller did keep Cleveland competitive for a significant part of the contest before Detroit pulled away with 14 fourth-quarter points, but with a 2:6 TD:INT and 58.1 percent completion rate through four games, it may not be long before Flacco is swapped out for one of Cleveland's rookie QBs, Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders. However, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports a switch may not yet be in the works just yet, as head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed after the game he's still not considering a quarterback change.

Odunze had four receptions on eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Raiders.

Odunze's scoring onslaught continued when he gutted the Raiders' secondary for a 27-yard touchdown on Chicago's first possession of the second half. The breakout fantasy star has generated five touchdowns during his impressive four-game scoring streak to kick off the season. Odunze's eight targets Sunday were on par with his 8.8 average through four weeks, giving fantasy managers a reliable WR1 asset so far. The talented sophomore will attempt to extend his scoring streak when the Bears resume play against the Commanders in Week 6 on Oct. 13 following the team's upcoming bye.

Mahomes completed 25 of 37 passes for 270 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 37-20 win over Baltimore. He added four rushes for five yards.

Mahomes turned in a vintage effort, perhaps not coincidentally as the return of Xavier Worthy reinforced his wide receiver corps. Mahomes threw four touchdowns in a regular-season game for the first time since Week 10 of the 2023 season, with all four scores coming in the red zone. He primarily attempted passes in the short areas of the field but still recorded six completions of at least 15 yards. This was Mahomes' first game with multiple touchdowns this season, and it also accounted for his highest yardage total of 2025. If Worthy's shoulder holds up, Mahomes could be in for much improved results as the campaign progresses -- particularly once Rashee Rice (suspension) is eligible to return in Week 7.

Young completed 18 of 30 passes for 150 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding one rush for three yards in the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Young was pulled late for Andy Dalton in the 29-point defeat, and the third-year signal-caller was largely ineffective most of the afternoon. The highlight of his performance came very early, as Young capped off a crisp seven-play opening possession with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Tremble. The now 1-3 Panthers will try to capitalize on what should be a favorable matchup against the middling Dolphins defense in a Week 5 home clash next Sunday, but coach Dave Canales' patience with Young may be wearing a bit thin.

Brown brought in two of nine targets for seven yards in the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

After coming to life with a 6-109-1 line against the Rams in Week 3, Brown's production slumped again. The veteran wideout's yardage total was a new season low and his second single-digit yardage figure over the first four games of 2025. Jalen Hurts did try to get the ball in Brown's hands however, and he has 27 targets in his last three contests. Brown could struggle once again to build momentum as the Broncos' suffocating secondary comes to town next Sunday afternoon for a tough Week 5 matchup.
