Ted Ginn Jr. gets three touches in Week 4.

Ginn had a nine-yard carry while adding two receptions for 25 yards. The best play for Ginn was a 21-yard reception for a first down late in the game, where Ginn high-pointed the ball for a nice catch dow note sideline. Ginn and the Saints have a Week 5 bye week.

Ryan Switzer fumbles punt in Week 4.

Switzer fumbled a punt to give the Rams the ball in good field position in a close game. On offense, he had a three-yard carry. The rookie receiver is a strong dynasty hold, but he’s not a fantasy option yet.

A.J. Green targeted 13 times in first game with Bill Lazor as offensive coordinator.

Green hauled in 10 of them for 111 yards and a touchdown, so early indications, as expected, are that the change at OC will be a good thing for the elite receiver. Expect another heavily-targeted game against Cleveland in Week 4, and Green now looks like an every-week top-five fantasy receiver.

Todd Gurley dominates in Rams’ 35-30 win over the Cowboys.

Gurley rushed 23 times for 121 yards and caught seven passes for 94 yards and a touchdown, making a case that he’s the best running back in the NFL with Ezekiel Elliott on the other side of the field. Even with a tough slate of matchups coming up, Gurley is an every-week RB1 and obviously needs to be in lineups against Seattle next Sunday. He’s on pace for 1,448 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, plus 80 catches for 936 yards and 12 touchdowns through the air. It turns out everyone might have been a year early in proclaiming him as the first-overall pick in fantasy drafts.

Austin Hooper caught five passes for 50 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Bills.

Hooper saw an increased role with Julio Jones and Mohamed leaving the game with injuries, and he led the team in catches and trailed only Tevin Coleman in yards. Atlanta has a bye in Week 5, but those needing help at tight end might be wise to look ahead to Week 6 against Miami (a great matchup for the position), especially if Jones and Sanu aren’t able to play.

Darren Sproles (knee) has been played on IR.

This isn’t a surprise after it was revealed that he suffered a torn ACL in Sunday’s win over the Giants. In the offseason, it sounded like 2017 might be his final year, but he might not want to end his career due to injury. That said, it doesn’t get much tougher than walking off the field without anyone even knowing you have a major knee injury, and he might decide this is it. Either way, Sproles could have a Hall of Fame worthy resume and find his way into Canton at some point.

Philip Rivers struggles as the Chargers drop to 0-3.

Rivers’ interceptions woes continued, as he was 20/40 for 237 yards and three interceptions agains the Chiefs. This simply was not a good performance by Rivers, who was playing well through the first two weeks of the season despite the 0-2 record. The veteran signal-caller should have a much better game next week at home versus the Eagles.
