Jones finished with five tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 42-13 win over Carolina. He added 167 yards and a touchdown on three punt returns.

Jones tied his season-high mark in tackles, but where he really shined was as a punt returner. The fourth-year cornerback returned a punt 87 yards for a score in the first quarter and also had a 61-yard return in the second period before capping his big day with a 19-yard return in the third. The TD was his second punt-return score of his career.

Gibbens posted 12 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 42-13 victory versus the Panthers.

Of Gibbens' 12 tackles, nine came on defensive plays and three on special teams. Remarkably, he achieved the impressive tally despite playing on less than half of the Patriots' defensive snaps. Prior to Sunday, Gibbens had totaled just five stops across three games.

Cooks hauled in three of four targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 31-19 defeat versus the Bills.

Cooks nearly caught his second touchdown of the season on a 17-yard strike into the end zone from quarterback Spencer Rattler, but the call was reversed upon official review, which determined the 32-year-old wideout didn't maintain control through the ground. Cooks has put up almost the exact same stat line through each of the first four games this season, averaging 2.8 catches (on 3.8 targets) for 24.5 yards. His role as a WR3 in the Saints' struggling offense won't yield him much value aside from the deepest PPR leagues. Cooks should continue to operate behind wideout Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed during the Week 5 matchup versus the Giants.

Gordon rushed six times for 10 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night.

Gordon found much less running room than backfield mate De'Von Achane, who picked up 99 yards and scored a touchdown on his 20 totes. Gordon now has single-digit rushing yardage totals in three of his first four games, and although he's earned some short-yardage and red-zone work, he saw Achane cash in on an opportunity in the latter capacity with a nine-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The rookie sixth-round pick's fantasy prospects remain modest heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Panthers that is favorable for ground attacks.

Sutton finished with five receptions (on six targets) for 81 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

Sutton stayed hot with his second trip to the end zone in as many weeks while pacing the Broncos in receiving yards on Monday Night Football. The one-catch dud in Week 2 is proving to be an anomaly after the veteran wideout posted WR1 numbers in his three other starts this year. Expect Sutton to continue operating as QB Bo Nix's favorite target in a road matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.

McPherson made his only field-goal try in Monday's 28-3 loss to the Broncos.

McPherson finished off the Bengals' first drive of the night with a chip-shot 26-yard field goal, which would prove to be all the offense for Cincinnati in Week 4. The kicker remained perfect on the year, having made all four of his field-goal attempts while going 7-for-7 on extra-point tries over the first four games of the season.

Spillane totaled 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 42-13 Week 4 win over Carolina.

Spillane was again very productive, as he ranked second on New England in stops. The veteran linebacker recorded a modest three tackles in both Week 1 and Week 2 but has since exploded for 25 stops over the past two weeks. That has put Spillane at 31 tackles through four contests.

Lutz did not attempt a field goal while going 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

Lutz had a relatively quiet night on Monday Night Football, failing to attempt a field goal for the first time this season. Through four games, the kicker has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal tries and made all 12 of his PATs. Lutz will look to be more involved in the team's Week 5 matchup with the Eagles.

Waller secured three of four targets for 27 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night.

The veteran tight end finally got on the field following his year-plus span on the sideline, with the majority of that absence due to his retirement during the 2024 offseason. Waller also had to overcome a hip issue before getting on the field Monday night, but he mostly looked like his old self while recording four- and nine-yard touchdown grabs in the second and third quarters, respectively. Waller's apparent readiness to immediately contribute is particularly a welcome sight in the context of Miami likely having lost Tyreek Hill for the remainder of the season Monday due to a knee dislocation, as the Dolphins offense will be in need of playmakers to absorb the significant loss.

Nix completed 29 of 42 pass attempts for 326 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing six times for seven yards and a third score in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

Nix took full advantage of a cushy matchup and cracked the 300-yard mark in passing for the first time this season. The athletic signal-caller also punched in his first rushing touchdown of the year on a six-yard scamper in the first quarter that wound up being the game-winning score. While this was easily Nix's best performance to date in 2025, fantasy managers may want to keep expectations in check for a road tilt against a far-more talented Philadelphia defense in Week 5.
