Evans brought in five of eight targets for 76 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Despite playing through a rib injury, Evans tied for the team lead in receptions while also setting the pace in receiving yards and targets for the 49ers on the afternoon. The veteran wideout's totals in the latter pair of categories were also new season highs, and having presumably made it through the game without setbacks, Evans has a bright fantasy outlook overall heading into a tough Week 5 road showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.

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.

Bowers (illness) caught six of 11 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Bowers suited up despite dealing with an illness and proceeded to lead the Raiders in targets and receiving yards, with one more target and four more yards than fellow TE Michael Mayer. Bowers gave the Raiders a chance down the stretch with a 20-yard touchdown catch to make it a one-score game with 1:46 remaining in the fourth quarter. He has quickly made up for lost time after missing the first two games of the season following a knee procedure, as Bowers has compiled 16 catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns in two games since making his return. Up next for Bowers and the Raiders will be a Week 5 trip to New England.

Jeanty rushed 15 times for 58 yards while catching six of eight targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Jeanty posted another inefficient performance on the ground, as he's averaging just 3.4 yards per carry this season and has yet to score on 78 rushing attempts. The workhorse running back has made up for his pedestrian performance on the ground by contributing consistently through the air, as Jeanty has 19 catches for 155 yards and two receiving TDs heading into the Raiders' Week 5 road game against the Patriots. Backup Mike Washington had just 17 yards on 10 touches Sunday, so he isn't making much of a case to cut further into Jeanty's hefty workload.

Lloyd rushed seven times for 13 yards and brought in all five targets for 36 yards in the Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

It was more of the same on the ground for Lloyd, who barely eclipsed the season-low 11 rushing yards he produced in Week 3 against the Falcons. However, the third-year back set new career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets, offering some modest fantasy value on the afternoon. Lloyd's backfield mate Kaleb Johnson led the ground attack with eight carries for 42 yards Sunday, and although Lloyd remains largely ineffective as a runner, he'll likely remain in a relevant role in Week 5 at home against the Bears if the ankle injury that forced Chris Brooks' exit from the contest keeps him sidelined for that divisional contest.

Smith-Njigba gathered in five of six targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 30-23 win against the Chargers.

Smith-Njigba's 27-405-6 line on 36 targets through three games to kick off the campaign perhaps wasn't sustainable, but his Week 4 performance was nothing to sniff at considering he paced the Seahawks in targets among QB Sam Darnold's 22 pass attempts. Smith-Njigba put up at least as many receiving yards in 15 of his 17 regular-season appearances in 2025 as he did Sunday, so a bounceback seems likely when he next takes the field next Sunday versus the 49ers.

Golden brought in three of seven targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards.

Jordan Love threw for a modest 197 yards overall on the afternoon, so Golden's subdued production can be viewed within that context. The second-year speedster tied with Tucker Kraft for the team lead in targets on the afternoon, and although Golden brought in less than half of them. he recorded his second touchdown grab of the campaign on a two-yard reception early in the second quarter. Golden's reception and yardage totals were season lows, but he still on pace for a breakout second campaign with an 18-274-2 line going into a Week 5 home divisional matchup against the Bears next Sunday.

Walker rushed 22 times for 177 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

Walker's two touchdowns came just 19 seconds apart in the fourth quarter, as he gave Kansas City the lead with a two-yard touchdown run and added a 22-yard touchdown run to create some breathing room after the Raiders fumbled the ensuing kickoff. The free-agent addition has paid immediate dividends for his new team, racking up 537 rushing yards and six total touchdowns through four games with the Chiefs. Walker has handled heavy workloads early in the season and will have a chance to rest up during a Week 5 bye before the 4-0 Chiefs host the Chargers in Week 6.

Egbuka brought in two of four targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Egbuka's production downturn was at least partly the result of Jalon Daniels' up-and-down NFL debut under center. The second-year wideout was third in targets and tied for third in receptions with multiple teammates on the afternoon, but only Egbuka's yardage total, which was a season low, only bested that of Kameron Johnson's (three yards) in the loss. Egbuka now has a 15-154-1 line on 24 targets over his first four games, and with Baker Mayfield reportedly in line to miss up to a total of seven weeks, the former will have to progressively build chemistry with Daniels to retain solid fantasy value.

Elliott converted both field-goal attempts and both PATs in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams.

Elliott made field goals from 29 and 56 yards against Los Angeles and remains perfect on the season. He has just four field goals through four games and is 9-for-9 on extra-point attempts. The Eagles aren't currently scoring enough on offense to warrant K1 valuation for Elliott.
