Dion Lewis handles 13 touches in win over the Eagles.

Lewis rushed just four times for zero yards, but added nine receptions for 66 yards in a 26-23 overtime victory. It’s been a slow start for both of Tennessee’s co-starters despite a 3-1 record, but the success Marcus Mariota just had through the air against Philly should hopefully open things up. Through four weeks, Lewis is on pace for 572 rushing yards and four touchdowns with a 72-catch, 464-yard pace as a receiver. He should be an RB2/FLEX option in Week 5 against the Bills.

Kerryon Johnson scores against the Cowboys.

Despite Johnson’s 100-yard effort last Sunday night against the Patriots, the Lions continues to split backfield work pretty evenly among him, LeGarrette Blount, and Theo Riddick. The rookie again performed the best of the group, carrying nine times for 55 yards and a touchdown; he also caught one pass for one yard. On the score, Johnson lowered his shoulder and showed his power by getting into the end zone, and he also had a 32-yard run in the Week 4 loss. At some point, Detroit is going to have to commit to Johnson getting the ball more than he is now, as he’s an exceptional weapon on offense. Through four games, the rookie running back is on pace for 152 carries, 864 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, 44 receptions, and 112 receiving yards.

Derrick Henry handles ten touches in win over the Eagles.

Henry got started early with a 13-yard screen pass on the first play of the game, but the Titans went away from him after that, and he finished with just eight carries for 24 yards and two receptions for seven yards. It’s been a disappointment so far for Henry owners, as he’s on pace for just 652 rushing yards and has yet to find the end zone, but the schedule lightens up starting next week against the Bills. Hopefully the threat of Marcus Mariota on the ground will begin to open things up for the former Heisman winner.

Matthew Stafford goes over 300 yards with two touchdowns in Lions’ loss.

Stafford led the Lions to two fourth-quarter scoring drives before the Cowboys won on a field goal as time expired. Overall, Stafford was 24/30 for 307 yards and two touchdowns along with five carries for two yards. Both scores were to Golden Tate, with one coming on a comeback where Tate broke a couple of tackles on his way to the end zone for 45 yards; and the second coming on a deep pass down the right sideline to a wide-open Tate for 38 yards. Through four games, Stafford is on pace for 4,808 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions, but he’s thrown seven touchdowns and one interception since his four-interception Week 1. Stafford and the Lions face the Packers in Week 5.

Marcus Mariota leads Titans to overtime victory over the Eagles.

Mariota was 30/43 for 344 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 26-23 win, also adding team-highs with ten carries for 46 yards and a score on the ground. Basically, Mariota was awesome, as a couple potential deep touchdowns were left on the field with drops, but Tennessee was able to score 17-straight points to take the lead in the second half before eventually winning in overtime—where they converted three times on fourth down, including a fourth-and-15 throw to Taywan Taylor. The game was won with a ten-yard touchdown to Corey Davis on third down with 17 seconds left to play, and the Titans are now 3-1 heading into a matchup with the Bills. Looking healthy, Mariota is rising towards QB1 territory if his skill-position players can continue to make plays.

Dallas Goedert caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Titans.

Goedert has been more involved over the past two weeks with Carson Wentz under center, but with Zach Ertz healthy, he’s just a desperation option that probably needs a touchdown to be worth starting. We’ll see how the rookie fares in a big matchup against the Vikings next Sunday.

10/1/18 - 10:02 AM ET

Kamar Aiken catches 14-yard pass in Week 4 loss.

It was his only reception of the game. Aiken isn’t a fantasy option heading into a matchup with the Vikings.
