New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson continued to play a significant role on offense in Week 4 despite speculation about a potential reduced workload after he fumbled twice in the previous game. Stevenson's usage didn't falter one bit as he played 57 percent of the snaps and carried the ball nine times, which led the team and was his second-highest mark of the season. He is far from an every-down back, and we should continue to see TreVeyon Henderson get more and more involved every week. However, as it stands, Stevenson remains the favorite to handle north of 50 percent of the running back snaps in any given contest. He is still a viable fantasy option on the waiver wire or off the bench.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson remains the future of the team's backfield, but his ascension to the No. 1 role is taking a little longer than expected. The Ohio State product played a season-low 31 percent of the snaps this past Sunday, which was a significant reduction from his 46 percent snap share just a week earlier. Furthermore, he caught two passes along the way, which was also a season- and career-low. All in all, the Patriots continue to use Rhamondre Stevenson more than Henderson, and they've also mixed in some rushing attempts for Drake Maye and Antonio Gibson. Until he's the clear-cut No. 1 running back on a weekly basis, Henderson deserves to be benched in fantasy football. From a waiver wire perspective, though, he's an interesting candidate to be added in leagues with at least 12 teams, especially since he could blossom into New England's lead back by midseason. He's a top waiver wire target for Week 5.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to carve out an increased role within the backfield, making him a player to monitor or even pursue in fantasy football leagues. The 24-year-old played 29 percent of the offensive snaps on Sunday, which was his second-highest mark of the season. He also posted season highs in rushing attempts (nine), targets (four), and catches (two), albeit while posting poor efficiency on the ground and negative yardage through the air. Kyren Williams remains the undisputed No. 1 running back in Los Angeles, but Corum is certainly eating into his workload and making a push for expanded touches week after week. Last Sunday was the first time Corum had double-digit touches in a single game, and if this continues, he could have some standalone value as an RB3/flex in deeper fantasy leagues. He's a worthwhile waiver wire target in leagues with at least 12 teams, especially as bye weeks and injuries plague the position. However, he might be tougher to trust this week in particular as he faces the San Francisco 49ers, who have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is off to a fantastic start this season, catching 15 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE3 in fantasy football. He has double-digit fantasy points in three of four games and has found the end zone two weeks in a row. While critics were harsh on Henry during the offseason for sharing a role with Austin Hooper in an uninspiring offense, those opinions have been silenced by the veteran's phenomenal start. Not only is he playing and producing far more than Hooper, but he has also been one of Drake Maye's absolute favorite targets in the passing game. We mustn't forget that New England targeted its tight ends 31.9 percent of the time in 2024 (fourth-most in the NFL), and they continue to throw to the position at a 26.7 percent clip this year (seventh-most). He should be added off waiver wires in all leagues, as he's a worthwhile starter in most formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten has been efficient on his touches throughout the first four weeks of his career. He has 21 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown while securing three of four targets for 40 yards and another touchdown. The speedster has been among the best in the league at avoiding negative runs, but the explosive runs have not been there yet. He's served as the No. 2 back mostly to Travis Etienne Jr., while rookie LeQuint Allen has also mixed in here and there. Head coach Liam Coen has used him in creative ways in the red zone and also gave him a goal-line carry for a touchdown in Week 3. The workload and snap share haven't increased significantly yet, but they will likely grow as the season progresses. With his big-play ability, he could be a league-winner down the stretch.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III has had limited opportunity so far through four games, but has made the most of them. He's caught seven of eight targets for 99 yards and a touchdown on the year, with most of that coming in Week 3 against Dallas when he caught all three targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. He strangely has negative receiving yardage in two of the other three games, but has looked explosive in his time on the field. His snap share hasn't risen to a very interesting level quite yet, sitting at 25.2% for the season. His snap share unfortunately didn't tick up in Week 4 after his breakout Week 3 game, but patience is to be encouraged with Burden. There are still plenty of mouths to feed in Chicago, but Burden is talented enough to emerge as a factor in Ben Johnson's offense. He's a great stash candidate until things change.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has shown plenty of promise through four games of his NFL career. The fourth rounder out of Stanford impressively earned a starting role right out of the gate and hasn't stopped there. He's arguably been the team's best skill player, catching 12 of a team-leading 25 targets for 151 yards and two of the team's three touchdowns on the season. Ayomanor has established great trust with fellow rookie Cam Ward as they've connected on multiple throws back to the opposite side of the field, including their first touchdown. Despite how bleak the Titans' offense has been, Ayomanor has earned five targets in every game and has managed to produce for fantasy. If the offensive situation improves at all, in addition to the schedule lightening up a bit, Ayomanor could be in a good spot to emerge over the next few weeks.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo recorded 90 yards from scrimmage on 27 total touches in his team's Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It was the first full game for New York without running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder), who is facing a multi-week absence after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 3. As long as Tracy Jr. remains sidelined, Skattebo could be in line for a significant number of touches. Overall, the 23-year-old has logged 279 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 48 carries and 12 receptions through the first four games of his NFL career. Heading into a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, Skattebo can likely be considered a must-start fantasy running back.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson hauled in all seven of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Ferguson has now recorded 34 catches for 223 yards and a score on 39 targets through his first four games of 2025. With Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) currently sidelined by a high ankle sprain, Ferguson looks like the number two option in the passing game for quarterback Dak Prescott, behind only wide receiver George Pickens. Dallas has also attempted the most passes (171) of any team in the NFL this season. Ferguson profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end heading into a Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has recorded 18 catches for 237 yards and a touchdown on 27 targets so far in 2025. With star Giants wideout Malik Nabers (knee) set to miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in Week 4, Robinson could see a significant uptick in targets going forward. In the two games that Nabers missed in 2024, Robinson recorded 11 catches for 86 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets. The 24-year-old has been far more efficient on a per-catch basis in 2025 than he was last season, so he could be well-positioned to do damage if his targets spike as expected. In all fantasy leagues where he's not already rostered, Robinson should be a priority waiver-wire addition ahead of the Giants Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

From RotoBaller

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has neither been targeted nor recorded a catch so far in 2025. However, he could be in line for more opportunities following the unfortunate news that star Giants wideout Malik Nabers (knee) will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. In 35 career games with the Giants across two-plus seasons, Hyatt has recorded 31 catches for 435 yards on 59 targets. He will likely remain behind Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson on the Giants' wide receiver depth chart, but Hyatt could carve out a role as the team's WR3. Hyatt is not yet worth rostering in fantasy, but he's a player for managers to monitor in the coming weeks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (ankle/foot) is "still gathering medical opinions on what's being termed an ankle and/or foot injury," according to Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Garafolo notes that "no one has ruled Irving out" for the team's Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks, but Irving is "sore" and his status is "up in the air." The 23-year-old has recorded 430 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 90 total touches through his first four games of 2025. If Irving were to miss time, veteran Buccaneers running back Rachaad White would likely see a significant workload increase. White has logged 142 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 31 total touches so far this season. Third-year running back Sean Tucker could see an increase in touches as well. Tucker has been efficient (career 5.0 yards per carry) in a limited sample over the course of his career. If Irving is facing an extended absence, Tucker would be worth a roster spot in deep fantasy leagues.

The Arizona Cardinals "could turn to (running back) Michael Carter as their lead back" if running back Trey Benson (undisclosed) misses time, according to Theo Mackie of azcentral.com. Benson is currently considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Carter played in his first game of 2025 in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks, recording one carry for one yard. Emari Demercado served as the team's RB2 behind Benson against Seattle, but he is considered a passing-downs specialist. Carter played in three games for the Cardinals in 2024, logging 35 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown. Pending further updates on Benson's status for Week 5, Carter could be a player to add in deeper leagues ahead of Arizona's Week 5 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had another solid workload in Week 4 against the Bills, turning 19 touches into 72 yards. Over the last four seasons, Kamara has averaged 20.3 touches and 97.7 yards per game. So far in 2025, he is averaging 19.5 touches for only 76.3 yards. While the decline in production can be attributed to poor offensive line play and a struggling offense overall, fellow running back Kendre Miller had a strong outing in Buffalo with 11 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. Kamara looks to be an RB2 with upside against the Giants, and is worth monitoring if Miller continues to eat away from his usual workhorse load.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is now 0-10 as a starter after Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, though his play has taken a clear step forward. Through four weeks, he's completed 67.1% of his passes for 191 yards per game with five touchdowns and just one interception. The concern remains his lack of downfield aggression, averaging only 5.2 yards per attempt, which ranks 30th in the league. Rattler enters a solid matchup as a QB2/Superflex option against a Giants team coming off an upset of the Chargers, but another loss could open the door for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to get his shot.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has enjoyed a big bounce-back this season after struggling through his 2024 campaign. Pittman has now caught a touchdown in three of his four contests while drawing 29 targets over that span and leading the Colts' wide receivers with 234 receiving yards. Pittman should stay hot as he will host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. Pittman has settled in as an every-week WR3 in fantasy and should be fired up across all leagues for his matchup against the Raiders.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has been an excellent addition to his team's offense in 2025. The rookie found the end zone for the first time in his young career on a two-yard run in the second quarter of a 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. Warren is leading the Colts in receiving thus far, hauling in 19 passes for 263 yards through four games. He will remain a no-brainer TE1 in fantasy heading into a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
