Hubbard rushed 20 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Lions.

Hubbard complemented Tetairoa McMillan's pair of receiving touchdowns with rushing scores of 15 yards in the first quarter and four yards in the third quarter. After handling 27 touches in Carolina's first two games, Hubbard has been leaned on for 44 touches across the most recent two games as the Panthers play without Jonathon Brooks (abdomen), who was placed on injured reserve Sept. 23. Hubbard will rest up during the Week 5 bye before getting a chance to add to his season totals of 390 scrimmage yards and five total TDs in Week 6 against the Eagles.

Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try during Sunday's 15-10 loss to Minnesota.

Patterson was limited to just one field-goal try for the second straight week, converting a 27-yarder early in the third quarter. The kicker has gone 6-for-8 on field-goal attempts this season, and he doesn't seem likely to suddenly see more opportunities moving forward while finishing off the drives of Miami's low-scoring offense.

Goff completed 32 of 52 passes for 412 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Lions' 32-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday night.

The Lions surprisingly found themselves in the trail position throughout the majority of the second half, leading to Goff putting up season-high totals in all of completions, pass attempts and passing yards. The veteran signal-caller did see a three-game streak of multi-TD-pass tallies come to an end, with Sunday night's sole scoring strike going to Sam LaPorta from eight yards out late in the fourth quarter. Goff connected with seven different targets overall and helped facilitate Jameson Williams' first 100-yard effort of the season, but he'll now be tasked with trying to prevent Detroit from falling below .500 in a Week 5 road matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and both of his PATs during Sunday's 22-17 loss to Jacksonville.

McPherson was unable to make it four straight games with multiple field-goal makes, converting his only attempt of the day from 29 yards in the second quarter. The kicker is still perfect on the season, going 9-for-9 on field-goal tries, including five makes from 50-plus yards, over four contests so far during the 2026 campaign.

Gainwell rushed three times for five yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers. He added two catches for 22 yards and a touchdown on two targets.

Gainwell was out-snapped 36 to 26 by Bucky Irving, who also handled 16 carries to Gainwell's three in Jalon Daniels' first career start at quarterback. Gainwell was the only running back to see a target out of the backfield for Tampa Bay, and he scored his first touchdown of 2026 with a 10-yard catch in the fourth quarter. Averaging just 5.25 touches per game, Gainwell isn't a recommended fantasy target in a broken Tampa Bay offense.

McMillan caught 14 of 16 targets for 192 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Lions.

McMillan got open at will against Detroit's struggling secondary, setting career highs in catches, receiving yards and targets while posting his third multi-touchdown performance through 21 regular-season games. The 2025 first-round pick caught a 32-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and a 10-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. McMillan entered play Sunday with 23 targets through three games compared to 22 targets for fellow starting wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps), who was inactive against the Lions. Coker will have an extra week to heal up during Carolina's Week 5 bye before possibly rejoining McMillan in Week 6 against the Eagles.

St. Brown secured eight of 11 targets for 75 yards in the Lions' 32-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday night.

St. Brown was essentially as busy as usual in the air attack, although he was in the relatively rare position of finishing second in targets, and to tight end Sam LaPorta at that. Nevertheless, the star wideout tied with LaPorta for the team lead in receptions, and St. Brown's yardage tally was his second-highest figure through the first four games. Despite the disappointing team-level outcome, St. Brown's fantasy outlook is as bright as customary headed into a favorable Week 5 road matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

Sutton caught just one of six targets for four yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the 49ers.

Sutton has been wholly unproductive to begin the season, producing just nine catches for 86 scoreless yards on 21 targets through four games. His 0.69 yards per route run is easily a low point for his career. Turning 31 years old this week, it's fair to wonder how much Sutton has left in the tank and if his best days are now behind him. He's not a usable fantasy player right now, playing in a low-scoring offense that likes to spread the ball around to multiple different players.

Pineiro went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs during Sunday's 24-14 win over Denver.

Pineiro made his first field-goal try of the day in the second quarter, converting a 24-yard chip shot. The kicker later had a 54-yard attempt blocked by the Broncos, tagging him with his second missed field-goal attempt of the year. Pineiro has now gone 4-for-6 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while also converting 14 of 16 extra-point attempts over four contests so far in 2026.

Gibbs rushed 15 times for 46 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of seven targets for 31 yards in the Lions' 32-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday night.

Gibbs' season-low rushing yardage total was particularly surprising considering no team had allowed more rushing yards to running backs than Carolina coming into Week 4. Gibbs also wasn't able to make up for the lack of rushing production with his work as a pass catcher, but he at least added his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run late in the first half. Gibbs and the Lions will look to bounce back in a Week 5 road matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.
