Texans head coach Bill O’Brien says he sees rookie D’Onta Foreman as a three-down back.

This isn’t really anything surprising, but it’s worth noting. The talented former University of Texas star has been making the most of his touches as a rookie, and his role seems like it’s going to increase as the season moves forward. Lamar Miller owners should probably be a little worried, but Miller can still do a good amount of damage on less touches. Those that have Miller on their fantasy team should probably try to make room on their bench for Foreman. And if you’re just looking for someone in general to add to your bench, Foreman might be your guy.

Kendall Wright scores first touchdown as a Bear in Week 4 loss.

The former Titans receiver caught all four targets against the Packers, gaining 51 yards in the Thursday night game. The touchdown came on a corner route near the goal line, where he ran right through the defense for a wide-open score. Wright is the most reliable fantasy option at receiver for the Bears, but there are probably higher upside options for your fantasy lineup.

Duke Johnson Jr. totals 94 yards in Week 3.

Johnson had two carries for 23 yards and a touchdown, while leading the Browns in both receptions (six) and receiving yards (81) against Indy. The versatile running back/receiver is in the FLEX discussion for PPR leagues next week against Cincinnati.

Bilal Powell scores in Week 3 win.

Powell received a team-high 15 carries for 37 yards and a touchdown in the game. Matt Forte was second on the team with eight carries, so Powell led the committee this week. Still, given he averaged under three yards per carry, it’s hard to trust Powell next week against the Jags.

Benjamin Watson (calf) is active today against the Steelers.

He was a full participant in practice on Friday after being a non-participant on Wednesday and Thursday. There are probably better options than Watson to put in your lineup this week.

Tarik Cohen gets ten touches in Bears’ loss.

Cohen was limited a bit by the Packers, who appeared to try and stop Cohen and Jordan Howard. But he still had a decent game, carrying six times for 24 yards while catching four passes (on four targets) for 22 yards. Cohen gets the Vikings in Week 5, and he’ll be in the FLEX conversation as bye weeks begin.

Tyler Ervin gets a couple touches in Week 3.

He had a four-yard rush and a four-yard reception. His role decreased with Bruce Ellington back for the Texans after missing Week 2 with a concussion.
