Gibson rushed six times for 19 yards while securing his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Eagles.

Gibson's disappointing season continued Sunday, as the veteran failed to produce for fantasy purposes against the Eagles. The fourth-year running back saw his snap percentage drop Week 4, handling a 39 percent snap share after seeing a 63 percent share Week 3. Fellow back Brian Robinson, however, continued to be more involved in the Commanders' offensive scheme. Going forward, Gibson will likely continue to be difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production, barring an injury to Robinson. Nonetheless, the 25-year-old will look to get more involved when the Commanders host the Bears in Week 5.

Demercado carried once for three yards while catching three of his four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers.

With backup running back Keaontay Ingram (neck) out Sunday, Demercado saw an expanded role behind starter James Conner. The undrafted free agent rookie played 25 of the Cardinals' 71 offensive snaps, his highest snap share by far through four games. Demercado handled just one carry, but quarterback Joshua Dobbs got the first-year running back involved in the passing game with his largest target total of the season. Despite his increased involvement against the 49ers, Demercado should remain off the fantasy radar in a Week 5 matchup with the Bengals.

Dallas didn't record a touch in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants. He returned one kick for 30 yards and a punt for 23 yards.

Dallas is averaging 16.4 yards per punt return this season, which ranks fourth in the league among players with at least five attempts. He is barely playing on offense, however, as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet were the only running backs to receive touches Monday.

Charbonnet rushed five times for 31 yards and caught one of three targets for nine yards in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants.

After handling 31 offensive snaps (44 percent) in Week 3, the rookie running back logged just 11 snaps (22 percent) in the prime-time game. It's encouraging that he saw three targets while Kenneth Walker wasn't targeted at all, but it remains clear that Charbonnet is a distant No. 2 in the Seattle backfield for now.

Pittsburgh cut Bell from its practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Bell was cut from and consequently re-signed to Pittsburgh's practice squad just a couple weeks ago, but now he's on the outs again. He's set to become a free agent.

Rodriguez (illness) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday.

His presence at practice at all is a good sign for Rodriguez after he was too sick to play in Week 4 at Philadelphia, but his status for Thursday's game versus Chicago still looks to be up in the air. He'll probably need to practice in full Wednesday to avoid carrying an injury designation into gameday.

The Giants cut Jones from their practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jones was able to find his way onto the field for the Giants as a special teams contributor during the first two weeks of the season, but now he's set to become a free agent. He hasn't handled a regular-season carry since 2019 with Houston.

Rodriguez (illness) was spotted practicing Tuesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

The rookie running back out of Kentucky missed the Commanders' Week 4 loss to Philadelphia with an illness, but it seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Rodriguez recorded seven yards on three carries throughout his first three games, primarily playing on Washington's special teams unit.

McKinnon tallied three rushes for seven yards and didn't haul in his lone target during Sunday's 23-20 win versus the Jets.

McKinnon showed a glimpse of fantasy light in Week 3 with a pair of touchdowns against the Bears but returned to a back-seat role during the Week 4 contest, logging 22 snaps compared to Isiah Pacheco's 42, and the Chiefs, generally weekly favorites to win, will rarely be in the situations where a heavy emphasis needs to be placed on the passing game. As long as Pacheco is healthy and available, McKinnon figures to remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy contributor, providing a bit more value in PPR leagues as a receiving threat.

Edwards-Helaire posted three carries for 12 yards and hauled in his only target for one yard during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jets.

Edwards-Helaire logged just six total snaps during Sunday night's affair, and he's again fallen well behind both Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon in the pecking order, so there isn't much to write home about regarding CEH's fantasy prospects as long as Pacheco and McKinnon remain available.
