McCaffrey rushed 11 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks.

McCaffrey gave the 49ers a 14-10 lead with an 11-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. His 14 touches tied a season low, and McCaffrey has yet to reach 20 touches in a game, as the undefeated 49ers have been content to manage his workload to some extent in order to keep the star running back fresh after McCaffrey averaged over 24 touches per game in the 2025 regular season. The reduced workload hasn't kept McCaffrey from scoring five touchdowns across his last four games, and he'll look to extend his four-game scoring streak in Week 6 against the Commanders.

Dobbins recorded 18 carries for 68 yards and one touchdown and gathered in both targets for six yards during Sunday's 23-17 win at the Chargers.

Dobbins easily led both teams in touches with 20, which marked a season high, and he also reached the end zone for the first time in the current campaign. Meanwhile, fellow RB RJ Harvey was contained to three rushes for seven yards, marking his lowest touch count of 2026. Dobbins has received a more consistent workload among the two players with 13.8 touches per game (as opposed to 8.8 per contest for Harvey), making him the more appealing of the two backfield options in Denver.

Rodgers completed 22 of 31 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns while adding six yards on his only carry in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Colts.

Jaylen Warren did all the work on Rodgers' first TD, an 80-yard dash down the sideline in the first quarter after the veteran QB dumped the ball off to avoid a sack. Rodgers was a little more in command on his other two scores, both of which went to Pat Freiermuth on a one-yard toss in the second quarter and a 17-yard strike in the fourth. It was Rodgers' third straight three-TD performance, and his 71.0 percent completion rate was his most efficient effort yet in 2026. He'll take a 10:4 TD:INT through five games into a Week 6 road trip to Tampa Bay.

Downs recorded four total tackles (two solo) during Thursday night's 24-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

Downs was on the field for all 72 of the team's defensive snaps, but his four takedowns were his second-fewest total in a game this season. The 21-year-old has now compiled 31 total tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and two forced fumbles over the first five regular-season contests of his career.

Smith-Njigba caught five of eight targets for 102 yards and a touchdown while adding a 16-yard rush in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers.

Smith-Njigba topped 100 receiving yards for the fourth time in five games and scored his seventh touchdown of the season on a 16-yard catch in the third quarter, but his heroics weren't enough as the Seahawks fell to 3-2. Seattle's four turnovers bear most of the blame for the loss, though JSN had an uncharacteristic drop on the Seahawks' penultimate offensive play, which would have put Seattle in position for a game-tying field goal had he caught it. Smith-Njigba will have a short turnaround before Thursday's home game against the Broncos, in which the star receiver will have a chance to add to his season total of 583 receiving yards.

Winters registered 10 total tackles (six solo) during Thursday night's 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

Winters was able to lead the team in stops, notching his first double-digit tackle performance of the year. The linebacker has now compiled 35 total tackles (23 solo) and a fumble recovery over five contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Warren carried the ball 15 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and caught all six of his targets for 87 yards and another TD in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Colts.

The fifth-year back set the tone for the afternoon when he took a checkdown from Aaron Rodgers and turned it into an 80-yard score to begin the Steelers' second possession. Warren then added a 50-yard TD run right after halftime, becoming the first player in Pittsburgh franchise history with rushing and receiving touchdowns of 50-plus yards in the same game. He also become just the sixth player in league history, and the first since Herschel Walker in 1986, with an 80-yard TD catch and a 50-yard TD run in the same game -- a list that includes Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Gale Sayers as well. Warren's 188 scrimmage yards were a career best, and he continues to make the case that he deserves a bell-cow workload, turning 61 touches over the last three games into 490 combined yards, along with Sunday's two touchdowns. Even if Rico Dowdle (toe) returns to the lineup in Week 6 against the Buccaneers, Warren should be locked into the lead role in the backfield.

Parrish recorded nine total tackles (eight solo) and four passes defensed during Thursday night's 24-16 win over the Cowboys.

Parrish led the team in takedowns in the victory, notching at least five tackles for the third game in a row. The cornerback has now compiled 21 total tackles (19 solo) and seven passes defensed, including an interception, over four contests this season.

Johnson brought in four of five targets for 16 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

The veteran tight end tied Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele for the team lead in receptions, but given Tyler Shough threw for only 96 yards overall, Johnson could generate any meaningful fantasy production with his quartet of catches. Johnson has recorded at least four catches in four straight games, and despite Sunday's season-low yardage total, he's still compiled a solid 248 receiving yards and has five catches of 20-plus yards heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

White suffered a broken forearm during Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

White sustained the injury in the first half, and head coach Dan Campbell said that "it doesn't look good" for the linebacker following the victory. White's injury will likely require surgery, and it's unclear exactly how long he'd be sidelined, if that's the case.
