  • AJ Dillon RB | CAR

    Packers' AJ Dillon: Expanded role in Week 4 win

    Dillon rushed 15 times for 81 yards and secured his only catch for 16 yards in the Packers' 27-17 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    With the Packers comfortably ahead in the second half and Aaron Jones losing a fumble, Dillon got plenty of late-game work and made good use of it against a worn-out Steelers defense. The impressive power back hadn't seen more than six carries or gained more than 18 yards in any game prior to Sunday, however, as he remains a clear complementary option behind Jones under normal circumstances and therefore remains difficult to trust as a fantasy option on a week-to-week basis.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Bills' Zack Moss: Finds end zone again

    Moss carried the ball 14 times for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Texans.

    Moss split carries exactly evenly with Devin Singletary, and he seems to be settling into consistently earning roughly 15 touches per game. He got work throughout the contest, and he again found the end zone late in the game with the Bills up 26-0. That was similar to the way he found the end zone in Week 2 against Miami and could hint at reduced production when games are more competitive. That could be the case in Week 5 when the Bills take on the Chiefs.

  • Ravens' Latavius Murray: Bangs out TD in win

    Murray carried the ball 18 times for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.

    While his yards per carry wasn't impressive, Murray set a new season high in rushing yards and showed off his power on an 11-yard TD run in the second quarter that opened the scoring for Baltimore -- his third touchdown in four games. With Ty'Son Williams (inactive) apparently on the outs and Le'Veon Bell joining the backfield mix for the Ravens, Murray figures to be in the lead role again in Week 5 against the Colts, but his hold on the No. 1 spot may be tenuous.

  • Michael Carter RB | TEN

    Jets' Michael Carter: Gets first TD in first NFL win

    Carter rushed 13 times for 38 yards and a touchdown while catching one of three targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Tennessee.

    Carter scored his first career touchdown on a two-yard run in the second quarter. He didn't find much running room, but Carter was clearly the team's primary running back option over Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson, who combined for seven rushing attempts and four targets. The rookie fourth-round pick will likely find more space to operate in Week 5, when the Jets jet over to London to face the Falcons.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Two more TDs against Rams

    Conner carried the ball 18 times for 50 yards and two touchdowns while catching both his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.

    For the second straight game, Conner punched his way into the end zone twice, with both of Sunday's scores coming from the one-yard line. Chase Edmonds piled up 120 rushing yards, however, and remains the clear top option in the Cardinals' backfield timeshare. Conner will look for more goal-line opportunities in Week 5 against the 49ers.

  • Chase Edmonds RB | WAS

    Cardinals' Chase Edmonds: Huge game on ground in win

    Edmonds carried the ball 12 times for 120 yards and caught four of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.

    He did a lot of his damage in the fourth quarter as the Cards were grinding down the clock, including completing a 54-yard dash on Arizona's final scoring drive. Edmonds might have had an even bigger performance, but the team stuck to its backfield timeshare, and James Conner added 66 scrimmage yards and two TDs. Edmonds, who came into the game with only 135 rushing yards on the season, will look to carry this momentum into a Week 5 clash with the 49ers.

  • Chiefs' Darrel Williams: Finds end zone in high-scoring win

    Williams rushed 10 times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-30 win over the Eagles. He also caught both of his targets for 16 yards.

    Williams played second fiddle to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who topped 100 yards on the ground and found the end zone as a receiver. That said, Williams received a sizable chunk of the workload, most notably getting the call from one yard out in the third quarter for his second rushing touchdown of the season. The Chiefs' offense is explosive enough for both Edwards-Helaire and Williams to find success on a weekly basis, though the latter will likely struggle to provide much value unless he gets into the end zone.

  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Records 21 touches in Week 4

    Harris rushed 15 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while securing six of seven targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Packers.

    The Steelers' offense struggled to keep up with the Packers on Sunday, but the rookie remained heavily involved and tallied 91 yards from scrimmage while topping 20 touches for a second straight week. Harris bolstered his fantasy results with a one-yard touchdown rush in the fourth quarter, which marked the first rushing touchdown of his career. The 23-year-old faces a difficult matchup at home against the Broncos in Week 5, but he should continue to see plenty of work in Pittsburgh's offense.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Manages 71 total yards

    Hubbard recorded 13 rushes for 57 yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Cowboys. He added two receptions for 14 yards.

    Hubbard led the Panthers' backfield, accounting for 13 of the team's 24 rushing attempts. He was particularly effective early in the contest, as he managed gains of 14 and 12 yards on the team's third offensive possession. Despite the hot start, he was scripted out of the chance to produce as the Panthers fell behind by three touchdowns late in the third quarter. It's unclear how long Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) will remain sidelined, but assuming he can't return in Week 5 against the Eagles, Hubbard should again have the chance to lead the Panthers backfield.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Packers' Aaron Jones: Totals 109 all-purpose yards in win

    Jones rushed 15 times for 48 yards, secured three of four targets for 51 yards and returned one kickoff for 10 yards in the Packers' 27-17 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Jones predictably had a difficult time finding running room against the stingy Steelers front, and his late third-quarter fumble in Pittsburgh territory may have cost the Packers at least three points. However, Jones still put together a strong, albeit unspectacular, fantasy effort with a season-best receiving yardage tally, and he also got a chance to get some rest late and let AJ Dillon handle rushing duties with the Packers enjoying a comfortable lead. Jones will look to bounce back with better production on the ground against an improved Bengals run defense in a Week 5 road battle.
