Purdy completed 22 of 38 pass attempts for 309 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing twice for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars. He also lost a fumble.

Purdy returned from a two-game absence due to shoulder and toe injuries Sunday, producing mixed results in a failed comeback attempt. The 49ers' quarterback showed no limitations, slinging the ball with ease, and while the three turnovers may be concerning at first glance, his first interception was the result of a bobbled catch attempt while the second was tipped at the line of scrimmage. Despite a depleted group of pass-catchers, Purdy's could deliver similarly gaudy totals in Week 5 as the 49ers attempt to keep up with the Rams' high-powered offense on Thursday Night Football.

Tremble brought in five of eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Tremble paced the Panthers in receptions while sharing the team lead in targets as he filled in for Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle), who was inactive. Tremble also recorded his first touchdown reception since Week 18 of last season on a seven-yard pass from Bryce Young to cap off the opening possession of the contest. The fifth-year tight end had four catches over the first two games of the season while Sanders was fully healthy, so if his teammate returns for a favorable Week 5 home matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday, Tremble likely won't see enough volume to have utility in most fantasy formats.

Borregales made all six extra-point attempts in Sunday's 42-13 win over the Panthers.

The kicker did not attempt a field goal in the win. Borregales has now hit all eight extra-point tries the last two weeks since missing two in New England's Week 2 win over the Dolphins. The sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft is also four of five on field-goal tries this season.

Fannin brought in two of six targets for 24 yards in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed once for one yard.

Fannin posted modest reception and receiving yardage totals, but Joe Flacco continued to target the rookie tight end frequently. The 2025 third-round pick hasn't seen fewer than four targets in any contest, but he's posted just 49 total receiving yards across the last two games after recording a 12-111-0 line in his first two NFL contests. Fannin will try to regain his earlier level of production when the Browns travel to London to face the Vikings in Week 5.

Thomas finished with five receptions on seven targets for 49 yards while adding seven rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's 26-21 win over San Francisco.

Thomas finished as the Jaguars' leading receiver in another low-volume passing day from Trevor Lawrence (21-for-31, 174 yards, one TD). The 22-year-old wideout gained seven yards on his second rushing attempt of the season, but he was unable to reproduce the trip to the end zone from his first attempt back in Week 1. The positive takeaway from this matchup was Thomas posting his first catch rate north of 50 percent (71.4) after suffering a bad case of the drops over his previous three contests. Thomas will attempt to carry over the confidence from this solid showing into next Monday's primetime matchup against Kansas City.

Wyatt (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

The defensive tackle recorded one tackle before exiting. Wyatt played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in each of Green Bay's first three games. Karl Brooks and Nazir Stackhouse are the next defensive tackles in line in the Packers' rotation.

Worthy recorded five receptions on eight targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Ravens. He added two rushes for 38 yards.

Worthy returned from a shoulder injury and was active for the first time since Week 1, and he quickly regained his role as Kansas City's top playmaker. He accounted for each of the team's three longest plays from scrimmage on gains ranging from 28 to 37 yards while being used in all areas of the field and on an end around. While Worthy did his damage on big plays, he also led the team in targets, indicating this level of production is sustainable as long as his shoulder holds up.

Sanders exited Sunday night's game against the Packers with an ankle injury and is questionable to return, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Sanders was injured just before halftime after rushing two times for eight yards, while also adding two catches for 17 yards on two targets. If Sanders is unable to return, fullback Hunter Luepke would be the only other member of the backfield behind Javonte Williams.

Swift took 14 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over Las Vegas.

Swift was limited during the practice week with a hip injury that had him listed as questionable leading up to Sunday's kickoff. The veteran RB suited up and rewarded fantasy managers with his second trip to the end zone in four games this season. The Bears placed no restrictions on Swift, handing him 14 of its 18 running back carries in the win. He has been generating just enough value on a weekly basis to warrant flex consideration in most formats, but he won't be available in Week 5 with the Bears on a bye, making Week 6 the next time Swift will be in action.

Njoku brought in two of three targets for 11 yards in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Joe Flacco completed less than half his 34 pass attempts and was consistently harassed by the Lions' defense, so Njoku's modest numbers weren't necessarily unexpected. The veteran tight end continues to split pass-catching opportunities at tight end with rookie Harold Fannin, who saw six targets Sunday. Njoku's totals were season lows across the board, leaving him to try and bounce back against a capable Vikings defense during a Week 5 matchup in London.
