  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Huge performance in primetime

    Jacobs rushed the ball 22 times for 86 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie with the Cowboys. He added four receptions for 71 yards.

    Jacobs had only 48 yards at halftime, but he found more room to work as both a runner and receiver in the second half. The highlight of his performance was an 18-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, which was one of his three ground gains of 10-plus yards. Jacobs also made an impact as a pass catcher, surpassing 70 receiving yards for the fourth time in his career and second time as a Packer. Sunday night's performance was also the first time he surpassed 100 total yards in a game this season, though he has found the end zone in three of four contests.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Monster two-score game on SNF

    Pickens finished with eight receptions on 11 targets for 134 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie against the Packers.

    Pickens had a breakout night as a member of the Cowboys, generating his first 100-yard and multi-touchdown performance with the club. The 24-year-old wideout led Dallas in targets, receptions and receiving production while taking over as Dak Prescott's top downfield option in the absence of CeeDee Lamb (ankle). Expect Pickens to continue garnering the lion's share of Prescott's attention as the Cowboys prepare to face the Jets next Sunday, although Sauce Gardner may have something to say about his final line.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Makes pair of clutch FGAs in Week 4

    McManus went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-5 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie against the Cowboys.

    McManus made a game-tying 53-yard field goal as time expired in regulation before connecting on a 34-yard try to even the score at 40-40 at the conclusion of overtime. The kicker's only miss of the day came in the second quarter, when he had an extra-point attempt blocked, which was ultimately returned for two points on the other end for Dallas. McManus has now gone 7-for-9 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-2 on attempts from 50-plus yards, while making 11 of 12 PATs over four games this season.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Leading rusher on 20 carries Sunday

    Williams took 20 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown while corralling all three of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie with Green Bay.

    Williams managed to reach the century mark in total yards while punching in his fourth touchdown in as many starts this season. The 25-year-old is finally delivering on the potential he flashed as a rookie in Denver back in 2021, prior to a serious knee injury in 2022. Williams has a stranglehold on the Cowboys' starting job with 19.8 touches per game, making him a plus fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Jets.

  • Isiah Pacheco RB | DET

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: First score of 2025

    Pacheco rushed the ball seven times for 35 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Ravens. He added two receptions on three targets for eight yards and a touchdown.

    Kareem Hunt saw more volume in the game with 14 touches, though he averaged an abysmal 2.6 yards per attempt and played 32 snaps on offense to Pacheco's 27. Pacheco was more efficient, logging a long run of 12 yards while also finding the end zone for the first time in 2025 with an eight-yard touchdown catch late in the second quarter. Pacheco will be difficult to trust so long as he's splitting opportunities with Hunt, but he's showcased improved efficiency and volume in the last two games.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Breaks out with four TDs on SNF

    Prescott completed 31 of 40 pass attempts for 319 yards and three touchdowns while taking his only carry for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 40-40 tie against the Packers.

    Prescott broke out of his early-season slump in a big way, matching his passing touchdown total through his previous three games in one fell swoop. The 31-year-old even added a rare rushing touchdown on a designed run from in close for his fourth score of the contest. The loss of star receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) certainly hurts Prescott's stock for as long as his top option remains out. That said, Prescott also proved that he is nowhere near washed up with Sunday's monster fantasy output. Managers with restored faith in Dallas' signal-caller will be rolling him out against the Jets in Week 5.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Makes only FGA in Week 4

    Aubrey made his only field-goal attempt and went 5-for-5 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 40-40 overtime tie against the Packers.

    Aubrey was limited to just a chip-shot 22-yard field goal in the contest, which proved to be the final points of the game for the Cowboys in overtime. The kicker has now gone 9-for-9 on field-goal tries, including 4-for-4 on attempts of 50-plus yards, while making all 11 of his PATs over four games this year.

  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Can't follow up three-TD game

    Tucker had two receptions on as many targets for 13 yards while taking two carries for nine yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

    Tucker crashed back to reality after posting a career game with three touchdowns against the Commanders in Week 3. The versatile wideout remained involved with four touches, but Geno Smith's struggles may have contributed to Tucker's inability to break off a big gain Sunday. With expectations back in check, Tucker should resume his role as a fantasy dart throw when the Raiders visit the Colts next Sunday.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: No catches on two targets Sunday

    Washington failed to secure either of his two targets Sunday, but he returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown in a 26-21 win over San Francisco.

    Washington failed to reproduce the whopping 11 targets he garnered in last week's win over Houston, but the 23-year-old left his mark on the contest when he took his only punt return to the house. Washington's inconsistent usage on offense makes him impossible to trust in standard fantasy formats heading into next Monday's road tilt against Kansas City.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Receives five touches Sunday

    Tuten rushed four times for 14 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers.

    The 23-year-old rookie took a back seat to Travis Etienne, who cracked the century mark in rushing yards while cashing in a long touchdown. Tuten will find it hard to generate consistent production so long as he is limited to a handful of carries, as he has been early in the campaign. The 2025 fourth-round pick may need an Etienne injury to warrant fantasy consideration heading into a Week 5 matchup against Kansas City next Monday.
