  • CHI Cornerback #6
    Bears CB Kyler Gordon (concussion) left Week 11’s game against the Falcons and did not return.
    Gordon was quickly ruled out after getting hurt on Marcus Mariota’s rushing touchdown. The Bears did not provide any update after the game. He’ll have to clear protocol to get back out there for Week 12 against the Jets.

  • MIA Running Back #25
    Jaylen Wright rushed nine times for 32 yards in Miami’s Week 4 loss to Tennessee.
    He did not reel in his only target. Wright parlayed a 20-yard gain into the most impressive overall line amongst Dolphins running backs, but Miami simply had no answers for a Tennessee front that rightfully believed Tyler Huntley couldn’t beat them deep. Raheem Mostert looked close to playing in Week 4 and should cap any kind of short-term upside Wright has in fantasy — not that there’s a lot of fantasy upside to go around in Miami right now with the current quarterback situation.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #10
    Tyreek Hill caught 4-of-7 targets for 23 yards in Miami’s Week 4 loss to Tennessee, adding three carries for 19 yards.
    ESPN ran a replay montage of plays Hill handily won on downfield only to be greeted by a poor throw midway through the third quarter. Such is life for the Dolphins No. 1 wideout right now as Miami struggles to generate any kind of passing attack without Tua Tagovailoa. There’s nothing wrong with Hill’s performance right now, the supporting cast just gives him a frightening fantasy floor as he heads into a Week 5 date with the Patriots.
  • MIA Running Back #28
    De’Von Achane rushed 10 times for 15 yards in Miami’s Week 4 loss to the Titans, adding three catches for 14 yards on three targets.
    He looked to be favoring his ankle at one point, and Jaylen Wright got plenty of run behind him. Achane simply had no prayer in this offense, and came up short of the goal-line on two carries that could have salvaged his fantasy day in the fourth quarter. It’s hard to call Achane anything more than a low-end RB2 without Tua Tagovailoa, and that will be the case again in Week 5 against the Patriots.
  • MIA Quarterback #18
    Tyler Huntley completed 13-of-21 targets for 92 yards in Miami’s 31-12 Week 4 loss to the Titans, adding eight carries for 40 yards and a rushing touchdown.
    Huntley actually “improved” in the second half, as he was only 7-of-10 for 35 yards at the break. But it’s hard to deny that the Dolphins had virtually no ability to throw with Huntley installed as the starter after joining the team just two weeks ago. Miami completed just two passes 10 or more yards past the line of scrimmage, and none beyond 20. For those in super-deep leagues, Huntley did at least provide the rushing touchdowns. The bigger story is that the Dolphins offense is in shambles headed into Week 5’s game at New England, and nobody Miami has tried at quarterback in Tua Tagovialoa’s absence has shown the ability to shepherd Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Devon Achane to respectable fantasy days. Huntley may get another chance in Week 5 by virtue of not being Tim Boyle, but that’s about all he has going for him right now.
  • TEN Tight End #85
    Chig Okonkwo caught 1-of-3 targets for five yards in Tennessee’s Week 4 win over the Dolphins.
    Okonkwo finally failed to catch some targets with his first two incompletions of the season. Josh Whyle also had a catch for five yards. Okonkwo handily outperformed Kyle Pitts this week, you can’t deny it.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #83
    Tyler Boyd caught 2-of-2 targets for 31 yards in Tennessee’s Week 4 win over the Dolphins.
    Boyd has caught at least two passes for anywhere between 18-to-33 yards in all four Titans games this year. That’s a fun, reliable usage footnote! It’s sadly not terribly interesting for people who want to score fantasy football points. Boyd will be on bye next week, so look elsewhere for your third FLEX in your 20-team league.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #0
    Calvin Ridley caught 1-of-3 targets for five yards in Tennessee’s Week 4 win over the Dolphins, adding a 10-yard rush on his only carry.
    It’s almost identical to his line last week, but at least this one came with the Titans game-scripting the Dolphins to the point where they barely needed to throw. Ridley is making so much money we almost have to believe he’ll have some WR3 games down the stretch after his Week 5 bye, but 141 yards in four games is not an exciting result at the quarter pole.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #10
    DeAndre Hopkins caught 2-of-4 targets for 31 yards in Tennessee’s Week 4 win against the Dolphins.
    That was still a large share of 102 total passing yards, but the Titans were able to sit on the ball for most of the second half without being seriously threatened by Tyler Huntley. It was a disappointment after his Week 3 surge, and there are likely better days ahead for Hopkins in fantasy this year. But even if he does have a large share of the passing offense, it’s hard to ignore how little that could be if Mason Rudolph takes over the starting job in Tennessee. Hopkins may just be a bye week fill-in in most fantasy leagues down the stretch.
  • TEN Running Back #2
    Tyjae Spears rushed 15 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Tennessee’s Week 4 win over the Dolphins.
    He added two receptions for zero yards. Spears scored as a wildcat quarterback, faking a handoff to Tony Pollard and running straight up the middle from the seven for an easy touchdown. This was obviously the perfect scenario for him to have a big workload as the Dolphins barely threatened, but it was nice to see him find 17 touches after just 22 in the first three weeks. Spears is an RB3/FLEX back headed into Tennessee’s Week 5 bye.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Tony Pollard rushed 22 times for 88 yards and a touchdown, adding two catches for 20 yards on two targets, in Tennessee’s Week 4 win over the Dolphins.
    Pollard salvaged the day with a four-yard touchdown scamper with 24 seconds left in the game that was, as Al Michaels would say, important to some. Pollard had set up Tennessee’s first touchdown with a 41-yard backbreaker that set up first-and-goal at the 7, but Tyjae Spears vultured the touchdown. He heads into the Week 5 bye established as Tennessee’s lead back, but needing the Titans other offensive weapons and overall direction to trend up to be more than a low-end RB2.
