- Breece Hall trending up in perfect time for favorable schedule: With teammate Braelon Allen headed to injured reserve, Hall should finally see a consistent workload. His upcoming schedule is very juicy, as he will face three weak rush defenses over the next month.
- Woody Marks‘ takeover has begun in Houston: In Week 4, fourth-round rookie running back played on 57% of the Houston Texans’ offensive snaps, outsnapping Nick Chubb in a game for the first time. Marks’ snap share has increased greatly each week of his short NFL career, and this trend should continue as he proved he is the best back available to his team.

Below are the top running back takeaways from Week 4 that could have a significant impact on fantasy points in Week 5 and beyond.
Omarion Hampton dominates with Najee Harris sidelined
In Week 4, the Los Angeles Chargers’ first game since losing Harris for the season to a torn Achilles, Hampton played on 88.7% of his team’s offensive snaps and saw 92.3% of the team’s rushing attempts, both the highest on the week from any running back in the NFL. No other player received more than 81% of their team’s carries last week. In fact, Hampton was the only Chargers running back with a single touch last weekend while playing all but seven offensive snaps in the game (55 of 62 snaps).
Over the last two weeks, Hampton leads the NFL with 294 scrimmage yards since Week 3 while adding a touchdown to his stat sheet in both games. He has scored 52.4 fantasy points, most among all running backs and second-most in the NFL, behind only Puka Nacua (58.4). Hampton has proved that he can handle a large workload and has league-winning fantasy upside the rest of the way.
Upcoming matchups: vs. Commanders, at Dolphins, vs. Colts
Will the New York Jets finally be forced to use Breece Hall as a workhorse?
The Jets have been determined to utilize a split backfield with Hall and Braelon Allen, while third-stringer Isaiah Davis has even stolen some touches throughout the season. Now, with Allen expected to head to injured reserve (IR) due to a sprained MCL, the team should finally be forced to give Hall a large workload. In the second half of Week 4, with Allen sidelined, Hall played 73.3% of the Jets’ offensive snaps, but he played on just 58% of the snaps from Weeks 1-3.
In the two games with at least 15 touches this season, Hall has recorded 145 and 111 scrimmage yards. He has yet to score a touchdown on the season, but his opportunities will increase with Hall on IR, who was the Jets’ primary red-zone back throughout the first three and a half weeks of the season.
The timing for Hall to receive a larger workload could not come at a better time; his upcoming schedule is amazing for fantasy running backs. He will face the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers and the Cincinnati Bengals in three of the next four weeks. The Cowboys and Bengals have allowed the sixth-most and second-most fantasy points to the running back position this season, while the Panthers have allowed the fourth-most yards per carry to running backs in 2025.
Upcoming matchups: vs. Cowboys, vs. Broncos, vs. Panthers, at Bengals
Houston Texans’ rookie RB Woody Marks outsnaps Nick Chubb for the first time
Marks’ snap share has increased significantly each week to start his NFL career. In Week 1, Marks played on just 11% of the Texans’ offensive snaps. That jumped to 27% in Week 2, 48% in Week 3 and then all the way up to 57.1% in Week 4. Last Sunday was the first game that Marks outsnapped Chubb.
There is a reason why the Texans have leaned away from the veteran and more toward their fourth-round rookie. Marks recorded 119 yards and two touchdowns on 21 touches in Week 4, while Chubb gained just 62 yards on 15 touches. On the season, Chubb is averaging a measly 4.2 yards per touch (on 41 touches), while Marks is averaging 6.4 yards per touch (on 32 touches).
Joe Mixon‘s latest injury update is that he is not returning to the field anytime soon, giving Marks a fantastic opportunity to become a high-volume player for the foreseeable future. Marks is a viable RB2/flex fantasy start from here on out, especially next week in a juicy matchup against the Baltimore Ravens — no team has allowed more fantasy points to the running back position than the Ravens this season.
Upcoming matchups: at Ravens, bye week, at Seahawks, vs. 49ers
Quinshon Judkins continues to defy odds
A player who missed his entire rookie offseason and preseason, while not signing his contract until after Week 1 of the season, should not be thriving so early in his career. It is impressive how quickly Judkins has excelled in the NFL with minimal practice. Finally, the Cleveland Browns may have found a difference maker on offense.
Judkins’ touches have increased each game of his career, finishing with 13 touches in Week 2 (NFL Debut), 19 in Week 3 and 25 touches in Week 4 despite the Browns getting stomped by the Detroit Lions. Over the last two weeks, Judkins has 39 carries (third in NFL) for 179 rushing yards and 38 fantasy points — other Browns running backs have combined for just three carries for -1 rushing yards in that span.
Despite the offense struggling, Judkins continues to see high volume on the ground and has scored a touchdown in each of the last two weeks. Judkins has a favorable upcoming schedule, but he has also proved that his opponent doesn’t matter, as he just had great fantasy performances against the Green Bay Packers and Lions defenses over the last two weeks. Judkins should be considered a weekly top-15 fantasy option from here on out.
Upcoming matchups: vs. Vikings, at Steelers, vs. Dolphins
New York Giants’ Cameron Skattebo sees league-high 27 touches in Week 4
With teammate Tyrone Tracy Jr. sidelined with a dislocated shoulder (expected to be out another one to three weeks), Skattebo played on a career-high 75% of the Giants’ offensive snaps and led the NFL with 25 carries and 27 touches in Week 4. His production on that workload was mediocre with just 13.0 fantasy points, 79 rushing yards and 90 scrimmage yards; however, it was a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. This week’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints will be much easier — they have allowed the ninth most fantasy points to running backs this season.
Fantasy managers shouldn’t worry about Skattebo’s inefficiency in Week 4, and instead, they should focus on his usage throughout the games, especially on important snaps for future fantasy points. Skattebo was the only Giants’ running back to see a touch on third down in Week 4, while playing on 15 of the 18 third-down plays in the game. He was on the field for 14 of 16 red-zone plays in the game, finishing with six red zone carries, including four inside the opponents’ five-yard line. Skattebo did not find the end zone last week, but the touchdowns will come with this type of red-zone and goal-line usage. He should be plugged into starting lineups with confidence in Week 5.
Upcoming matchups: at Saints, vs. Eagles, at Broncos

Schlitt’s Streak: Yankees Advance to ALDS on Rookie Cam Schlittler’s 12-Strikeout Gem
<!--> [--> Deesha Thosar MLB Writer <!--> --> NEW YORK — Earlier this year, Cam Schlittler caught Aaron Boone’s attention in a late spring-training start.The 24-year-old carried himself with a controlled intensity that Boone didn’t usually see from rookies. Schlittler’s confidence on the mound was superior, no doubt. That much was clear when he pitched four scoreless innings against the Phillies in his final spring start. But it was the right-hander’s competitive edge that left a lasting impact on the Yankees manager.In between innings, Boone decided to keep an eye on him. He watched Schlittler, who was mostly unknown to the skipper at the time, interact with teammates and personnel, curious how he was handling being invited to his first major-league camp. The moment didn’t seem too big for him. Seven months later, the righty made his first career postseason start […]
Fantazie českých kajakářů! Světovou medaili slaví Krejčí i Prskavec
Třiadvacetiletý Krejčí za cílem radostí zahodil pádlo, skoro jako o kousek dál na Olympijském stadionu před čtvrtstoletím Jan Železný. Tak nadšený byl ze své jízdy, po níž měl jistotu, že po bronzu z neolympijské časovky se dočká na kanále u Sydney další medaile.Po vystoupení z lodi objal svoji přítelkyni, o chvíli později se mohl radovat i s Prskavcem, který získal už svou šestou světovou medaili. Parádní tečka za sezonou, která v podání českých slalomářů nebyla dlouho ideální.Zejména dvaatřicetiletý Prskavec sice na začátku sezony získal titul evropského šampiona, ale pak se mu ve Světovém poháru nevedlo tak, jak si představoval. V létě se rozhodl pro razantní změnu v tréninku, aby získal zpět dynamiku a výbušnost. Zjevně dobrý krok.V Austrálii, kterou díky množství soustředění nazývá svým druhým domovem, mu na kanoi nevyšla závěrečná pasáž semifinále, což ho stálo postup.Ve své parádní disciplíně, na níž je dvojnásobným mistrem světa, vystartoval do finále jako […]
Rams’ meltdown in loss to 49ers due to three ugly mistakes late in the game, and one very ‘poor’ play call
The Los Angeles Rams had a chance to take down a division rival and move into sole possession of first place on Thursday night, but instead, they came up empty after making several huge mistakes during the late stages of their 26-23 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams, who were favored by 8.5 points, became an upset victim because they couldn't get out of their own way in the fourth quarter. Although Matthew Stafford threw for 389 yards and three touchdowns, it wasn't quite enough to overcome the Rams' costly errors. Let's cover the three biggest errors that the Rams made from the fourth quarter and overtime. The Rams gave up another blocked kickThe Rams trailed 20-7 in the third quarter, but thanks to Stafford, they were quickly able to erase that deficit. The Rams quarterback threw a touchdown pass […]
‘I’m Pretty Sick Right Now’: Sean McVay Takes Blame for Rams’ OT Loss to 49ers
Everything seemed to indicate the San Francisco 49ers were in for a long night when they traveled south on a short week without Brock Purdy, Nick Bosa, George Kittle and their top three wide receivers to face the surging Los Angeles Rams.The Niners had a long Thursday night, all right — but after nearly 67 minutes featuring innumerable twists and turns, they headed home with an improbable victory that reasserted their dominance in their biggest NFC West rivalry."We talked about how tough we had to be for four quarters," quarterback Mac Jones said. "It came down to who was going to be the toughest team, and I think it was us."Eddy Pineiro hit a 41-yard field goal in overtime before San Francisco stopped Kyren Williams on fourth down with 3:36 to play, and the short-handed 49ers hung on for a […]
