Horton brought in his lone target for a six-yard touchdown during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers.

Horton saw just one target from Sam Darnold in Sunday's game, but the second-year wideout answered the call by hauling in the pass for a six-yard touchdown early in the third quarter to extend Seattle's lead to 27-6. It was Horton's fifth touchdown catch of his young NFL career and first since his two-TD performance in Week 9 of the 2025 season, which was the last game of his rookie campaign due to shin and groin injuries. Horton is firmly entrenched as the Seahawks' WR4 on the roster behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp, and Horton is also behind Shaheed as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

Haener reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Haener was active for Sunday's 36-24 win versus the Cardinals, but his services were not needed, as veteran journeyman Jameis Winston started and finished the game at quarterback. Whether Haener is called up again in Week 5 might depend on how quickly recent trade acquisition J.J. McCarthy is able to familiarize himself with his new playbook.

The Jaguars signed Huzzie off the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The Jaguars stole Huzzie off the Texans' practice squad because Christian Braswell (knee) and Montaric Brown (hamstring) are suffering from injuries. The cornerback is set to be the last line of depth in case two of the other defensive backs ahead of him succumb to injury.

Tucker rushed three times for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers.

Tucker played three offensive snaps and handled a carry on all of them, punching in a short two-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Tucker would likely be the biggest beneficiary in the event of a Bucky Irving injury, leaving Kenny Gainwell in a change-of-pace receiving role.

Perine rushed three times for seven yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Chase Brown carried the ball nine times for just 10 yards, and the Bengals rushed 15 times for just 23 yards as a team, with Joe Burrow scoring a rushing touchdown. Perine has rushed 13 times for 42 yards (3.2 YPC) through four games. He would need an injury to Brown to gain any fantasy relevance.

Allen turned three carries into one yard during the Commanders' 30-13 loss to the Colts on Sunday in London.

Allen's first carry came early in the first quarter, but the rookie sixth-rounder didn't touch the ball again until the last five minutes of the fourth period. Even with Rachaad White (shoulder) inactive, Allen was on the field for only 12 of the Commanders' 64 offensive snaps (18.8 percent), which was behind both Jacory Croskey-Merritt (29) and recent addition Austin Ekeler (17). White is expected to return to practice ahead of the Commanders' Week 5 game against the Giants, and if he's cleared to return, then Allen would seemingly move down to the RB4 spot on the roster behind Croskey-Merritt, White and Ekeler.

Herbert reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Herbert played four of the Chargers' 71 offensive snaps during Sunday's 30-23 loss at Seattle, and he added 14 snaps on special teams. He can be elevated once more this season before the Chargers would have to sign him to their 53-man roster to make him eligible to suit up.

The Packers waived Jones (undisclosed) from injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones reverted to the Packers' injured reserve Aug. 10 after being waived with an injury designation. The cornerback likely wishes to join another franchise in 2026, leading to an injury settlement with the team. Once Jones recovers from his undisclosed injury, he will be set to join another franchise.

Johnson caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

The rookie running back didn't handle a single rushing attempt behind Kenneth Walker's 22 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson still played 17 offensive snaps and remains the clear backup and bench stash to own in fantasy should something ever happen to Walker.

Reed reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Reed played 10 of Carolina's 75 offensive snaps in Week 4, and he could not haul in his only target during Sunday's 32-26 win versus the Lions. Whether he's elevated again in Week 6 following the Panthers' bye could depend on the availability of Jalen Coker (quadriceps).
