We’re already into the fourth week of the fantasy football season. Yes, it’s true! Last week, rushing leader Jonathan Taylor had an impressive outing, racking up 118 yards and three touchdowns while helping the Colts secure another win. Following him, the Lions’ David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs both had standout performances against the Ravens. Rookies Omarion Hampton and Kamsatibo also made waves, finishing as the fourth and fifth highest scorers in PPR leagues. It’s encouraging to see fresh talent stepping up, especially since their backups are dealing with injuries.
Meanwhile, James Connor suffered a season-ending ankle injury during Week 3, which opened the door for Trey Benson to take over as the lead back. Emmali Demercado is stepping in as the secondary option. Benson, in light of this change, could be an interesting pick if he’s still on the waiver wire.
In another tough blow, Harris went down with an Achilles injury last week, also ending his season. This puts rookie O’Malion Hampton firmly in charge of the starting role, while Hassan Haskins will act as a backup. Hampton’s breakout performance featured six receptions and a total of 129 yards on 25 touches, marking him as a key player going forward.
Tracy, too, is out due to a shoulder injury sustained in Week 3. For those who picked Kamsatibo, this is positive news. He had a solid game last week, rushing for 60 yards on 10 carries, plus a touchdown and six receptions for another 61 yards on eight targets.
Zach Charbonnet, Seahawks
Charbonnet missed last week’s game due to a foot injury but participated fully in Seattle’s latest practice. The coaching staff seemed confident in not needing him against the Saints, which turned out to be the right call. Now, it looks like he’s gearing up to return for the short turnaround against the Cardinals on TNF.

Trey Benson, Cardinals vs. Seahawks
With James Connor out for the season, Benson is poised to be the lead. Even in a tougher matchup, he’s becoming a critical player to consider for your lineup. Currently, he’s available on 53% of Yahoo! leagues, which suggests some of you might still scoop him up.
Woody Marks, Texans vs. Titans
Marks had a decent outing against the Jaguars last week, gaining traction while Nick Chubb came in with 12 touches.
