Vidal rushed five times for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks. He added two catches for 11 yards and a touchdown on three targets.

Vidal, Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell split playing time evenly, as Mitchell logged 26 snaps to 25 each for Vidal and Hampton. The Chargers are looking for answers on offense, and giving Vidal more looks appears to be an avenue the team is willing to explore. Vidal scored on a nine-yard catch in the third quarter after entering Week 4 with just two touches across the first three games. Involved in a three-man backfield committee, he's not yet a viable fantasy starter ahead of next Sunday's date with Denver.

Dobbins rushed 11 times for 40 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Dobbins functioned in his usual lead-back role, but the Broncos eventually had to focus more on the pass in the fourth quarter after falling behind by a 17-6 margin. The veteran back has logged double-digit carries in three straight games, yet he's topped out at 49 rushing yards in terms of a single-game high thus far this season. Dobbins is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry and has a scant three receptions for 16 yards over the first four games, which doesn't give him much momentum as he heads into a Week 5 road divisional matchup against the Chargers.

Allgeier rushed eight times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-24 loss to the Giants. He added two catches for seven yards on two targets.

After Jeremiyah Love appeared to distance himself from Allgeier in Week 3 against the 49ers, Allgeier ended up out-snapping the rookie running back against the Giants. Love out-carried Allgeier 14 to eight Sunday, but it was Allgeier who found the end zone with a 22-yard score in the first quarter to give Arizona a 14-3 lead. Through four games, Allgeier has rushed 32 times for 112 yards and a touchdown, adding 10 catches for 35 yards on 10 targets. Splitting time with Love, Allgeier is touchdown-or-bust fantasy option most weeks.

Mitchell tallied 10 carries for 39 yards and five catches (on six targets) for 24 yards during Sunday's 30-23 defeat at Seattle.

Mitchell surprisingly led the Chargers backfield in touches with 15, ahead of Omarion Hampton's 11 and Kimani Vidal's seven, but unlike his position mates he didn't reach the end zone. Because Mitchell's touch count has increased in each successive week this season, he's trending in a positive direction, but until one of the trio is handling most of the RB reps, it'll be difficult to trust any of them for fantasy purposes on a weekly basis. He next takes the field next Sunday against the Broncos.

Jones carried the ball 20 times for 94 yards and caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Dolphins.

The Vikings' offense failed to produce a touchdown, but Jones got them into regular field-goal position as he set a new season high in scrimmage yards. The veteran RB has held up under a bell cow workload while Jordan Mason (thumb) has been sidelined, averaging 23.0 touches over the last three weeks while still producing 4.3 yards per carry. Jones hasn't gotten into the end zone during that stretch, however, something he'll try to rectify in a Week 5 road trip to New Orleans.

Hampton had nine carries for 45 yards and one touchdown and two catches (on two targets) for eight yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss at Seattle.

Hampton failed to reach 10 rushes in a game for the first time in four opportunities this season, and he ceded a number of backfield reps to position mates Keaton Mitchell (15 touches for 63 yards) and Kimani Vidal (seven touches, 36 yards and one TD). It's unclear if the Chargers intend to keep up more of a timeshare between the trio moving forward, but Hampton's lack of targets (five) so far in 2026 inhibit his overall value if he isn't taking on a majority of the rushing workload. His next chance to take the field arrives next Sunday versus the Broncos.

Wilson racked up 21 carries for 81 yards and one touchdown and added three catches (on four targets) for 39 yards and another TD during Sunday's 30-23 win versus the Chargers.

In the wake of Jadarian Price's placement on injured reserve due to a chest issue, Wilson got the first chance to pace the Seahawks backfield, and he parlayed the second-highest touch count of his career into his second ever outing with 100-plus yards from scrimmage and his second two-TD performance. Meanwhile, fellow RB George Holani himself received eight touches, which he turned into 20 total yards. Until Zach Charbonnet (knee, reserve/PUP list) is able to return to action, Wilson figures to be Seattle's lead runner.

Harvey rushed seven times for 25 yards and secured all 10 targets for 68 yards in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 64 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Denver.

Harvey was only four carries behind J.K. Dobbins on an afternoon where game script eventually turned against the run in the second half, but the second-year back saw the biggest workload of any Broncos pass catcher. Harvey led the team across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and both his catch and target tallies were also career highs. The early exit of Pat Bryant with an ankle injury may have had at least a nominal influence on boosting Harvey's pass-catching opportunities, but the latter is highly valued for his receiving capabilities overall and should retain a solid complementary role in a Week 5 road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Gordon carried the ball nine times for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings. He also caught both his targets for zero yards.

On a day when Malik Willis and the passing game could get very little going against a tough Minnesota defense, Gordon was Miami's only reliable weapon. His longest gain went for 53 yards, and he scored his team's only TD on a 12-yard jaunt late in the third quarter. With De'Von Achane (knee) lost for the rest of the season, Gordon has staked his claim to taking over the lead role in the backfield -- Jaylen Wright, his main competition, managed just seven rushing yards on five carries. Gordon will look to build on this performance in Week 5 at home against the Bengals.

McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 52 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of five targets for 18 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

McCaffrey saw a reduced workload by his lofty standards, although he still outpaced backfield mate Kaelon Black by nine carries. The star back had to tough out the majority of his gains on the ground, including his one-yard touchdown run with just under nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. McCaffrey has yet to top 15 carries in any game this season, but he has four rushing TDs and 340 total yards heading into a Week 5 road showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.
