Jones rushed 22 times for 93 yards and secured four of five targets for 46 yards in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.

While Jones didn't get his highly coveted opportunity to reprise a Lambeau Leap as a member of the opposition, the long-time Packer played a key role in keeping the Vikings' record unblemished. Head coach Kevin O'Connell afforded Jones no shortage of opportunity in his return to Green Bay, with the veteran back logging a season high in rush attempts. Jones' start to his Minnesota tenure has been noteworthy, as he's produced at least 93 rushing yards and four receptions in three of the first four games. He still is looking for his first rushing TD since Week 1, however, a matter he'll look to address across the pond in a Week 5 matchup against the Jets in London.

Jacobs rushed nine times for 51 yards and brought in four of six targets for 27 yards in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Jacobs averaged an efficient 5.7 yards per carry, and he complemented the rushing performance with a season high in receptions and receiving yards. His rushing opportunities were curtailed overall due to a game script that saw the Packers fall behind by a large margin over the first two quarters-plus, but he still managed to cobble together a reasonably productive performance relative to opportunity. Jacobs next takes aim at the Rams' inconsistent defense in a Week 5 road matchup.

White rushed 10 times for 49 yards and brought in two of three targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

White enjoyed his most efficient rushing day of the season by far, matching Bucky Irving in both carries and rushing yards on the afternoon. White also was the most productive of the two via the air, and his yardage total in that department was his second highest through four games. Given Irving has outpaced White in carries by a 19-16 margin over the last two games, it remains to be seen who might be the leader of the ground attack in a Week 5 road matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night.

Irving rushed 10 times for 49 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Irving and backfield mate Rachaad White curiously finished with an identical rushing line, with the key exception that Irving was the only one of the two to find the end zone. The rookie recorded his first NFL touchdown on a one-yard scoring run just past the midway point of the third quarter, and he continued to display a welcome knack for efficiency. Sunday's rushing workload marked a new high for Irving as well, and it will be interesting to see how the ground-game hierarchy shakes out in a Week 5 road battle against the Falcons on Thursday night.

Sanders rushed six times for 32 yards during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals. He added three receptions on four targets for 14 yards.

Sanders logged his highest total yardage of the season in Week 4, but he remains in Chuba Hubbard's shadow, as the latter posted his second consecutive 100-plus-yard rushing performance and has now logged 290 total yards across his last two games. While Sanders is currently Carolina's No. 2 running back, he could be further demoted once Jonathon Brooks (knee) returns from injury in the coming weeks.

Hubbard rushed 18 times for 104 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals. He added four receptions on four targets for 17 yards.

The fourth-year running back's fantasy relevance has skyrocketed since Andy Dalton took over for Bryce Young in Week 3. Hubbard has now accumulated 290 yards from scrimmage, including back-to-back 100-plus yard rushing performances, and scored two touchdowns over Carolina's last two contests. He managed to dominate Sunday despite the game script favoring the air attack, with the Panthers trailing by as many as 17 points in the second half. Hubbard is expected to continue producing with Dalton at the helm, but he could see some of his workload reduced when Jonathon Brooks (knee) returns from injury in the next couple weeks.

Allen rushed eight times for 34 yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.

Allen was much more efficient than Breece Hall, who turned 10 carries and five targets into only 18 scrimmage yards. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound rookie is averaging 4.8 yards per carry compared to 3.1 for Hall, and per Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York, coach Robert Saleh said after the game that the team will look into giving Allen more goal-line carries moving forward after Hall was denied on back-to-back rush attempts from the one-yard line in the first half. If Hall continues to struggle in Week 5 against the Vikings in London, Allen could be called upon to play a larger role.

Allgeier carried the ball eight times for 60 yards and caught both his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

Despite the modest volume, Allgeier actually led the Falcons' backfield in both carries and rushing yards, topping Bijan Robinson's lackluster seven totes for 28 yards. Allgeier still hasn't seen more than 10 touches in a game this season, and despite the relatively even division of the workload Sunday, he isn't going to suddenly challenge Robinson for the top spot on the depth chart. However, both backs could be productive in Week 5 against a Buccaneers defense that has struggled against the run so far in 2024.

Robinson carried the ball seven times for 28 yards and caught all four of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over New Orleans.

The 11 touches were a season low for Robinson, and Tyler Allgeier actually led the Falcons' backfield with eight totes for 60 yards. Robinson's contributions as a pass catcher have kept his floor afloat in PPR formats, but the eighth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft has now posted lackluster yardage totals in two straight games as the Atlanta offense as a whole has had trouble moving the ball. He could bounce back in Week 5 against a Buccaneers defense that's had trouble against the run so far in 2024.

Swift rushed 16 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and brought in all seven targets for 72 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Mired in a forgettable three-game funk to open his Bears tenure, Swift consistently found more daylight right from the start of the game than he had during his first three contests. The versatile back eventually broke loose for his longest run of the season, a 36-yard touchdown scamper early in the fourth quarter. Swift added season highs in receptions and receiving yards for good measure, making it a fruitful afternoon by both real-life and fantasy football standards. With the lead-back role still clearly in his grasp, he next takes aim at the Panthers defense in a Week 5 home matchup.
