Williams carried 14 times for 66 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.

Despite D'Andre Swift getting hyped all week, the Lions found success pounding the ball with Williams after Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (groin) left the game after one snap. While Williams ultimately wound up with a season high in carries, he wasn't involved in the passing game at all while Swift saw another six targets. As this backfield timeshare in Detroit will continue to cap the upside of both running backs, Williams will probably need some involvement in the passing game to pay off as a fantasy option in Week 5 against Minnesota.

Henry recorded 33 rushes for 157 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Jets. He added two receptions for 20 yards.

Henry topped 35 total touches for the second time in four games this season, aided by both overtime and the lack of a an efficient passing attack for the Titans. He ripped off big gains both as a rusher and receiver, logging three rushes and one reception of more than 15 yards. Henry also scored his fourth touchdown of the season, plowing his way into the end zone early in the fourth quarter from one yard out. On the campaign, Henry has topped 100 rushing yards in three consecutive games and has also tallied multiple receptions in every contest.

Gibson (shin) rushed 14 times for 63 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons.

Gibson didn't seem limited by the shin injury that cropped up late in the week, as he got 14 of Washington's 23 rushing attempts by running backs. He scored his first rushing touchdown of the season from two yards out in the second quarter. Talks of a three-down role for Gibson have fizzled out with J.D. McKissic -- who caught the game-winning touchdown in the final minute -- cementing himself as the team's third-down back of choice, but the second-year pro out of Memphis still sees plenty of usage as Washington's early down workhorse and goal-line back. Up next for Gibson is a Week 5 visit from the Saints.

Kamara rushed 26 times for 120 yards during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

After entering the year with only one game with 20 carries, Kamara has now topped that mark three times through four weeks, and Sunday's 26 rush attempts represented a career high. Now that Tony Jones (ankle) is possibly set to miss time, Kamara probably won't be losing carries to anyone anytime soon. While his relatively low usage in the passing game (by his standards) isn't ideal, the fact that Kamara has room to grow in that area could be viewed as a positive for his upside in games moving forward, starting with a Week 5 road matchup against Washington.

Patterson carried the ball six times for 34 yards and caught five of six targets for 82 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-30 loss to Washington.

He also chipped in 78 yards on three kickoff returns. Patterson has found instant chemistry with Matt Ryan this season, and after Sunday's performance, the 30-year-old speedster had found the end zone five times in four games (one rushing, four receiving) while topping 100 scrimmage yards in back-to-back weeks. Patterson seems poised for another big game in Week 5 in London against the Jets.

Swift rushed eight times for 16 yards and caught four of six targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.

After a week of Detroit's head coach talking up Swift's expanding role, the running back matched his season-low touch total from Week 2 while Jamaal Williams logged a season-high 14 carries. It's a disappointing short-term development for fantasy managers, but they shouldn't dismiss the fact Swift tripled Williams' targets and could have had an easy receiving touchdown at one point had Jared Goff looked his way. With the Lions' defense unlikely to contain the Vikings offense in Week 5, Swift's receiving skills could be needed early and often by Detroit.

Herbert rushed three times for seven yards in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

With David Montgomery leaving the game with a knee injury, Herbert was given rushing attempts late in the fourth quarter of a double-digit Chicago victory. Should Montgomery miss time, Herbert would likely be Damien Williams' backup, which could lead to him seeing weekly touches.

Barkley rushed 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown while catching five of six targets for 74 yards and another score in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over the Saints.

Barkley was quiet for most of the game but turned it on late as the Giants mounted a comeback against the tired Saints defense. His 54-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter brought New York within three, and Barkley ended the game in overtime by plowing into the end zone from six yards out. After failing to find the end zone in either of New York's first two games, Barkley has scored three times in the last two games, as he's rounding back into pre-injury form after tearing his ACL early last season. Barkley will look to keep building momentum against the Cowboys in Week 5.

Elliott rushed the ball 20 times for 143 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Panthers.

Elliott was impressive throughout the game, as he logged four rushes of 10 or more yards on his was to averaging 7.2 yards per carry. His longest attempt of the day went for 47 yards, which set up a six-yard touchdown for Dalton Schultz one play later. Elliott also scored a touchdown of his own, diving into the end zone from one yard away midway through the first quarter. After a lackluster Week 1 performance against the Buccaneers, Elliott has reached pay dirt in each of his last three games while racking up 309 rushing yards.

Chubb rushed 21 times for 100 yards and brought in his only target for five yards in the Browns' 14-7 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Chubb came through with his first 100-yard effort of the season after gaining at least 83 yards on the ground in each of his first three games. The fourth-year back came close to recording his fourth touchdown of the season on a late second-quarter drive, but he was stuffed at the Vikings' two-yard line. Chubb will look to build on another strong fantasy effort when he tangles with the Chargers defense on the road Week 5.
