  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Miles Sanders: Leaves SNF with ankle injury

    Sanders exited Sunday night's game against the Packers with an ankle injury and is questionable to return, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Sanders was injured just before halftime after rushing two times for eight yards, while also adding two catches for 17 yards on two targets. If Sanders is unable to return, fullback Hunter Luepke would be the only other member of the backfield behind Javonte Williams.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Finds end zone Sunday

    Swift took 14 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over Las Vegas.

    Swift was limited during the practice week with a hip injury that had him listed as questionable leading up to Sunday's kickoff. The veteran RB suited up and rewarded fantasy managers with his second trip to the end zone in four games this season. The Bears placed no restrictions on Swift, handing him 14 of its 18 running back carries in the win. He has been generating just enough value on a weekly basis to warrant flex consideration in most formats, but he won't be available in Week 5 with the Bears on a bye, making Week 6 the next time Swift will be in action.

  • David Njoku TE | LAC

    Browns' David Njoku: Held in check in Week 4

    Njoku brought in two of three targets for 11 yards in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Joe Flacco completed less than half his 34 pass attempts and was consistently harassed by the Lions' defense, so Njoku's modest numbers weren't necessarily unexpected. The veteran tight end continues to split pass-catching opportunities at tight end with rookie Harold Fannin, who saw six targets Sunday. Njoku's totals were season lows across the board, leaving him to try and bounce back against a capable Vikings defense during a Week 5 matchup in London.

  • Giants' Jude McAtamney: Takes advantage of opportunity

    McAtamney went two of two on field-goal tries and hit his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers.

    The kicker made field goals from 22 and 31 yards, respectively, during the first half, ultimately making the difference in the game. McAtamney was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday after winning a competition with Younghoe Koo during the week. After a strong game Sunday, McAtamney might be in line to hold the job until Graham Gano returns from a groin injury.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Five catches in Week 4 win

    Schultz recorded five receptions on six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Titans.

    Schultz tied for the team lead in targets with Nico Collins, though he was used entirely in short areas of the field. The tight end's longest reception went for only nine yards, and he has yet to record a 20-yard gain on any of his 16 catches this season. Schultz has also yet to reach 40 receiving yards in a game.

  • Malik Hooker FS | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Hooker: Questionable to return Sunday

    Hooker (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Packers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Hooker suffered a toe injury in the second quarter, placing some doubt on his ability to make it back out onto the field in Week 4. In his absence, Markquese Bell and Juanyeh Thomas will both see an increase in workload in the Cowboys' secondary.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Scores long TD in win

    Kincaid secured one of two targets for a 28-yard touchdown in the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Kincaid made his one catch count by streaking down the right sideline for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. The reception and receiving yardage totals were both low-water marks for the tight end over the first four weeks, but with three touchdowns already on his 2025 ledger, he's still rewarded fantasy managers despite the relative week-to-week uncertainty inherent in the Bills' air attack. Kincaid next sets his sights on the Patriots' defense, which he'll face in a Week 5 home matchup next Sunday night.

  • Caleb Williams QB | CHI

    Bears' Caleb Williams: Mixed results in comeback win

    Williams completed 22 of 37 pass attempts for 212 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking eight carries for 13 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over Las Vegas.

    Williams also put two balls on the ground, but he was fortunately able to recover both of his fumbles. The sophomore QB was coming off his best game of the season against the Cowboys, but he reverted to inconsistent form Sunday. We have seen flashes of brilliance from Williams in new head coach Ben Johnson's scheme, but he still isn't polished enough to be relied upon regularly. With the Bears entering their bye, Williams' next action will come in Week 6 on Oct. 13 against the Commanders on Monday Night Football.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Pair of catches in Week 4 loss

    Shepard brought in two of four targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    The veteran wideout continued to operate the No. 3 receiver, as Chris Godwin's season debut was offset by Mike Evans' absence due to a hamstring injury. Shepard saw a significant downturn from his season-high 80-yard output in Week 3, but given his chemistry with Baker Mayfield, he could be more productive in a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Matt Prater K | BUF

    Bills' Matt Prater: Makes only FGA in Week 4

    Prater made his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.

    Prater connected on a 35-yard field goal with 2:09 left in the fourth quarter, accounting for the final three points of the day for Buffalo. The kicker has now gone 8-for-9 on field-goal tries over four games this year, including a make from 52 yards in Week 2 against the Jets.
