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.

Williams rushed eight times for 55 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 15 yards in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

With David Montgomery leaving the game with a knee injury, Williams picked up right where his teammate left off by shredding the Detroit defense. Should Montgomery be forced to miss time, Williams may be used in a three-down role, giving him significant fantasy value despite the Bears having a weak offensive line.

Edwards-Helaire rushed 14 times for 102 yards while catching two of three targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-30 win over Philadelphia.

Edwards-Helaire hit the 100-yard rushing mark and caught a touchdown for the second consecutive week, this time scoring from one yard out on a shovel pass from Patrick Mahomes. He still doesn't have a rushing touchdown this season, in large part due to Darrel Williams' prominent role in the red zone, and Williams vultured a one-yard rushing score in the third quarter among his 10 carries in this one. Five of Kansas City's six touchdowns Sunday came through the air, but Edwards-Helaire remains the primary option on the ground in this high-powered offense heading into a Week 5 visit from the Bills.

Taylor (knee) rushed 16 times for 103 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 11 yards in the Colts' 27-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Taylor overcame his questionable designation to generate his best fantasy effort of the young season, highlighting his day with a 38-yard run and a 23-yard scoring scamper in the first quarter for the Colts' first points of the day. The matchup against the Dolphins' run defense was an exploitable one, but Taylor's fantasy managers undoubtedly were relieved to see him deliver, despite yet another relatively capped workload. The second-year back will look to build on Sunday's effort in a Week 5 road battle versus the Ravens on Monday, Oct. 11.

Cook (ankle) rushed nine times for 34 yards and secured two of six targets for 10 yards in the Vikings' 14-7 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Cook was able to avoid a second straight absence, but he wasn't able to deliver much for fantasy managers in his return while sharing plenty of snaps with backup Alexander Mattison. The Vikings did try to get Cook involved a fair amount in the passing game, but the 26-year-old and Kirk Cousins had trouble connecting more often than not. Cook may not have been at full health Sunday, so perhaps another week will help him generate much better output in a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Lions.

Montgomery suffered a left knee injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Lions, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Montgomery was in visible discomfort while the training staff tended to his leg, and he later needed assistance to get off the field and to the locker room, according to Adam Jahns of The Athletic. The severity of the injury hasn't been revealed, but if he's unable to return, he'll end the game with 23 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns.

Murray is expected to draw the start at running back for the Ravens in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Pre-game reports suggested that Murray was trending toward a Week 4 start, and that notion appears to have been solidified by the fact that the Ravens made Ty'Son Williams (who's logged 27 carries for 164 in three games to date) a healthy scratch. Also, in Baltimore's backfield Sunday will be a pair of experienced options in Le'Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman, but of the team's veteran RB trio in uniform versus Denver, Murray looks like the higher-percentage fantasy option this week.

Williams will continue splitting time with Melvin Gordon (ribs/lower leg) in Sunday's home showdown against the Ravens after the latter was confirmed active for the Week 4 contest.

The rookie appeared to have a chance at true lead-back status at one point during the practice week with Gordon managing multiple injuries, but the veteran trended in the right direction in subsequent days and now is officially available for the contest. Williams still could enjoy a solid complementary workload, however, considering he's logged double-digit carries in all three games thus far.

Williams is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

With Williams sitting this one out, the Ravens have decided to go with the veteran backfield trio of Latavius Murray (the expected Week 4 starter), Le'Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman versus Denver.

Gordon (ribs/lower leg) is active against the Ravens on Sunday.

Gordon was trending in the direction of active status as the practice week concluded, and his availability for the showdown with Baltimore now is official. The veteran running back is expected to continue in a relatively balanced timeshare arrangement with impressive rookie Javonte Williams, with Gordon outpacing his teammate by only six carries Week 3 against the Jets and Williams thus far logging double-digit carries in each contest.
