San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had a monster day against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at Levi's Stadium. The explosive second-generation NFL talent had 20 carries for 106 yards and three touchdowns to go with seven receptions on eight targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. He came into the game needing one touchdown to break Jerry Rice's franchise record for most consecutive games with a touchdown and got it out of the way with 9:07 left in the first quarter. Next up for McCaffrey is a tough home matchup against a fierce Dallas Cowboys defense where he'll remain a high-end RB1 regardless.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had his best game of the season, rushing for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Jacobs' rushing yardage was his second-most of the year, and he was also heavily involved in the passing game. With Jimmy Garoppolo out with a concussion, the Raiders started rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell. O'Connell targeted Jacobs 11 times for eight receptions and 81 yards. Seeing Jacobs and the Raiders finally get the run game moving was encouraging. Despite his eight catches, Jacobs still has zero career receiving touchdowns. The Raiders running back has a Week 5 matchup with the Green Bay Packers, who just gave up 121 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns to David Montgomery. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Jacobs as a low-end RB1 in their lineups moving forward.
