Ekeler turned four carries into 29 yards and added an 11-yard catch on two targets during the Commanders' 30-13 loss to the Colts on Sunday in London.

Ekeler signed with the Commanders on Tuesday and was immediately involved in the offense Sunday due to the absence of Rachaad White (shoulder). Ekeler's 17 offensive snaps were second-most on the Commanders behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt (29) and ahead of rookie Kaytron Allen (12). However, despite logging only four carries, Ekeler's 29 rushing yards were most among Washington's running backs and second on the team behind QB Marcus Mariota (35). Given Ekeler's efficiency in limited touches, he could remain involved in the gameplan for Week 5 against the Giants even if White is cleared to return.

Hill rushed one time for three yards in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans. He added two catches for 22 yards on three targets.

Hill continues to handle change-of-pace and passing-down work behind Derrick Henry out of the Baltimore backfield. Across four games, Hill has accumulated 60 rushing yards on 14 carries and five catches for 44 yards on six targets. Hill's role would likely only expand in the event the Ravens are chasing points on the scoreboard or if Henry suffers an injury.

Engram caught one of five targets for six yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the 49ers.

Engram was held to one or zero receptions for the third straight game, but his five targets matched his season high through four contests. The tight end has produced a meager 66 receiving yards and one touchdown on six catches over 13 targets so far in 2026, making him an especially unattractive fantasy asset.

Hutchinson caught three of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys.

With Nico Collins (hamstring) back from a two-game absence, Hutchinson saw his snaps cut pretty significantly, as he played just 17 of 55 offensive snaps. He still saw five targets, but Hutchinson appears to be the biggest loser at wide receiver with Collins back in action. He can be left on waivers in most fantasy formats.

Harris caught three of five targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks.

Harris led the team in receiving yards for the second straight week, recording at least 53 receiving yards for the third contest in a row. Ladd McConkey (foot) aggravated his pre-existing foot injury in the contest, and he is considered week-to-week for the time being. If McConkey is unavailable in Week 5 versus the Broncos, Harris may have a chance to operate as the team's primary pass-catcher.

Metchie caught three of five targets for 37 yards during the Panthers' 32-26 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Metchie worked with the first-team offense during Week 4 prep while Jalen Coker was nursing a quadriceps injury, and with the latter inactive for Sunday night's game, Metchie ended the contest with third-most targets on the Panthers behind Tetairoa McMillan (16) and tight end Darren Waller (six). Carolina will be on a bye for Week 5 before hitting the road for Week 6 against Philadelphia on Sunday, Oct. 18. That gives Coker more time to recover from his quad injury, and if he's cleared to play the Eagles, then Metchie would revert to a rotational role on offense.

Harris logged nine carries for 30 yards and lost a fumble in the Giants' 36-24 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Harris saw half the carries of Cam Skattebo as the Giants' primary relief option in Sunday's contest. The running back coughed up the football to Mack Wilson on the Cardinals' 42-yard line in the fourth quarter when the score was 27-24 Giants. The Giants' defense held strong to close out the contest despite Harris' mistake.

Flournoy caught four of five targets for 37 yards in Dallas' 34-30 win over the Texans on Sunday.

His five targets were actually tied for second on the team, but it was a distant second behind CeeDee Lamb's 21 on Dak Prescott's 45 attempts. Flournoy continues to run plenty of routes as Dallas' top slot receiver between Lamb and George Pickens, but with that duo accounting for most of the receiving production in any given week, Flournoy would likely need an injury to become usable in fantasy.

Treadwell caught five of six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Commanders.

With Alec Pierce (heel) on injured reserve and Keenan Allen (groin) inactive for Week 4, Treadwell paced the Colts' wideouts with 56 offensive snaps and ran a team-high 36 routes on Daniel Jones' 37 dropbacks. Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin fell in line behind Treadwell in terms of playing time at the position. He has nine catches for 123 yards on 11 targets through four games.

Matthews (groin) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Monday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Matthews sustained a groin injury toward the end of the first quarter, and after being evaluated by medical staff, it has been determined that the veteran offensive lineman will not return ot Monday night's game. Michael Jerrell will remain at left tackle the rest of the way in Matthews' absence.
