Tavon Austin gets most work out of the backfield in Week 4 win.

Austin rushed six times for 48 yards and caught a pass for negative-two yards in a 35-30 victory. He basically worked as Todd Gurley’s backup on Sunday, but with the way Gurley is playing, it won’t lead to much work. Tavon can remain on the waiver wire with a matchup against Seattle in Week 5.

Mike Williams (back) was a limited participant in practice today.

Williams continues to be a limited participant, which is actually a good sign considering he has not suffered a setback in recovery from his back injury. He’s not expected to play this week, but Week 5 is certainly a possibility.

Robert Woods caught two passes for 17 yards in Sunday’s win over the Cowboys.

Woods had a touchdown catch that was overturned by review, though it looked like it could have stood. He and Sammy Watkins were unable to have big games against Dallas, as they limited the perimeter throws and allowed production to Todd Gurley and Cooper Kupp instead. The Rams schedule gets really tough starting next week against the Seahawks, but Woods torched them last year with Buffalo. Still, he should stay out of lineups in Week 5, and it might be safe to drop him with a difficult schedule until Thanksgiving.

Jeremy Maclin caught three passes for 21 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Steelers.

Maclin has been quiet for two-straight weeks as the Baltimore offense has struggled in two losses. The 29-year-old should be better as Joe Flacco improves coming off his preseason back injury. Despite the recent struggles, Maclin is on the FLEX radar for Week 5 against the Raiders.

Branden Oliver gets 12 touches in Week 3.

With Melvin Gordon (knee) in an out of the game, Oliver received a little more work than usual, carrying eight times for 16 yards and catching four passes for 18 yards through the air. Oliver will only be a fantasy option if Gordon was forced to miss time.

Davante Adams caught three passes for 60 yards in Sunday’s win over the Bengals.

Adams nearly found the end zone, and it was another solid game for him. Aaron Rodgers #2 receiver had a tremendous night game against the Bears in 2016, so we’ll see if he can do it again on Thursday night. He’s a high-end WR2.

Derek Carr leaves game against the Broncos.

Carr took a sack in the third quarter and was on the ground for a few minutes before getting up and walking to the sideline in obvious discomfort. It’s not exactly clear what happened, but Carr did appear to have his head kind of bent in an awkward way as he was going down. Carr is currently being evaluated on the sideline, and hopefully he ends up being OK. We’ll update you as there is more information available.
