Gay went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Gay continued his perfect start to the year, converting a season-high four field-goals tries. The kicker made field goals from 32 and 48 yards in the second quarter and later added makes from 44 and 48 yards in the fourth quarter. Gay has now gone 10-for-10 on field-goal tries while converting all nine of his PATs over four contests this season.

Nix completed 25 of 42 passes for 214 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while rushing twice for 10 yards in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Nix finished with a serviceable passing line, but he averaged only 5.1 yards per attempt and wasn't able to overcome a second-half deficit as was the case in Week 3 against the Rams. The third-year signal-caller lost talented second-year wideout Pat Bryant to an ankle injury during the contest, and he found his greatest success when targeting RJ Harvey, who was on the receiving end of 10 of his completions. Nix has just a 60.0 percent completion rate and a modest 25 rushing yards through four games, but he may have a chance to boost those numbers against a winless Chargers team on the road in Week 5.

Hockenson caught all 13 of his targets for 119 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Dolphins.

The veteran tight end emerged as Kyler Murray's favorite target in the absence of Justin Jefferson (ankle), and as a result Hockenson produced his first game with 100-plus yards since 2024, when he popped for a 7-114-0 line against the Bears in Week 12. Hockenson came into Sunday with just 76 receiving yards, so he could have trouble repeating the performance even if Jefferson misses another game, but Murray had success feeding the ball to Trey McBride last year with Arizona as well -- McBride posted a 29-275-1 line on 42 targets during the five games they were in the lineup together. Hockenson will look to keep rolling in a Week 5 road trip to New Orleans.

Herbert was 19-for-31 passing for 189 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, took six carries for 40 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 30-23 loss in Seattle.

Herbert's three turnovers led directly to seven points for the Seahawks -- i.e. L.A.'s margin of defeat -- and he didn't reach the 200-yard threshold through the air for the second time in four contests this season. Having Ladd McConkey at less than 100 percent didn't help matters, and the team's top wide receiver appeared to aggravate an existing foot injury in the second half and didn't return to action. Herbert boasts just four touchdown passes versus six interceptions in 2026, and he may find difficulty achieving his first win of the campaign next Sunday against the Broncos.

Reichard went 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 15-10 win over the Dolphins.

Reichard provided all of the offense for Minnesota in Week 4. The kicker made field goals of 47, 50 and 33 yards in the first half before later adding 41-yarder in the third quarter and a 29-yard make in the fourth quarter. Reichard has been perfect this season, going 12-for-12 on field-goal tries, including four makes from 50-plus yards, while converting all six of his PATs over four contests so far.

Fields caught two of three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-24 win over the Cardinals.

Fields has emerged as the Giants' clear WR3 in terms of routes, as he ran 22 routes to Malik Nabers' 30 and Darnell Mooney's 26 against Arizona. On the season, Fields has out-targeted Mooney 15 to 10. Fields caught a 12-yard score from Jameis Winston on Sunday and now has eight catches for 126 yards and the one score through four contests to begin his rookie season.

Kittle secured four of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Kittle was having an unremarkable day until just before the two-minute warning, when he brought in a tight-end screen from Brock Purdy, turned upfield and raced 56 yards to the end zone to extend what had been a thin 17-14 lead for the 49ers. Kittle finished second in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for San Francisco, while also tying for runner-up status in targets. Kittle now has at least 70 receiving yards in three straight games, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.

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.

Darnold completed 13 of 22 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for six yards during Sunday's 30-23 victory against the Chargers.

On a day in which the Seahawks rode the ground game to the tune of 33 carries, led by RB Emanuel Wilson's 21, Darnold didn't have to do much to keep the Chargers at bay. Darnold's two touchdown throws went for 23 (Wilson) and six yards (WR Tory Horton), bringing his total on the campaign to six in a little more than eight quarters of play. Darnold will be seeking to bounce back in terms of yardage, at least, next Sunday versus the 49ers.

Strange caught seven of eight targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Bengals.

Cincinnati annually plays bad defense against opposing tight ends, and Strange was able to take advantage of the clean matchup by leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday. An every-down tight end in Jacksonville's potent offense, he's a weekly fringe TE1/2 headed into next Sunday's game against the Eagles. On the season, Strange has 14 catches for 167 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets.
