Eli Manning throws one touchdown in Giants’ loss.

Manning was 31/41 for 255 yards and one touchdown along with two carries for five yards against the Saints; he also lost a fumble in the game. The touchdown was to Sterling Shepard for two yards. Through four games, Manning is on pace for 4,220 yards, 16 touchdowns, and four interceptions while completing 74.2% of his passes. Eli is not currently a recommended fantasy option.

Chase Edmonds rushed three times for one yard in Sunday’s loss to Seattle.

Arizona wisely fed David Johnson in a 20-17 defeat, and that should remain the case every week if they don’t want to remain the only winless team in the NFL. Edmonds is just a handcuff that’s seen his stock take a hit on an underperforming offense.

Christian Kirk caught four passes for 28 yards in Sunday’s loss to Seattle.

He also added a seven-yard rush. Kirk showed good chemistry with Josh Rosen over the summer, but they couldn’t carry that into a big day against a beatable secondary for their first start together. Arizona’s second-round pick is just an upside bench stash heading into Week 5 against San Francisco.

Benjamin Watson catches one pass in Week 4.

The veteran tight end made a nice catch down the field for 23 yards against the Giants. Through four games, Watson is on pace for a 52/628/0 line, and he’ll look to find the end zone for the first time this season next Monday night against the Redskins.

David Johnson handles 25 touches in Week 4 loss.

Johnson rushed 22 times for 71 yards and one touchdown, also adding three receptions for 41 yards and a lost fumble. The Cardinals were wise to finally feed Johnson after just 34 carries over the first three games of the season, but they still aren’t taking advantage of his unique skillset. Through four games, DJ is on pace for 748 rushing yards and eight touchdowns with a 52/416/4 pace as a receiver. His individual ability and nose for the end zone keeps Johnson on the RB1 map, but the Cardinals might be the worst team in the league and will face stacked boxes with rookie Josh Rosen under center. Perhaps the superstar back can takeover next Sunday against the Niners.

Cameron Meredith catches three passes in Week 4.

Meredith gained 32 yards on his three receptions (four targets) against the Giants. Meredith appears to be a clear top-three wide receiver for the Saints, and he might soon be the undisputed No. 2 behind Michael Thomas. He’s someone to keep an eye on moving forward.

Michael Thomas gets held under 50 yards in Saints’ win.

Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins did a really good job on Thomas, but Thomas was also double-teamed throughout much of the game. The third-year receiver had four receptions (on four targets) for 47 yards in the Week 4 win, slightly slowing down his record-breaking pace to start the season. Through four games, Thomas is on pace for a 168/1,780/12 line, and he’s caught 42-of-44 targets this season. Week 5 against Josh Norman and the Redskins is not an easy matchup, but look for Thomas to bounce back with a bigger game.
