Herbert and Daniels spark an early showdown as both QBs click in the pocket and on the run, setting up a high-stakes second half. Ladd McConkey breaks a 57-yard punt return for a score that’s wiped out by a running into the kicker penalty, leaving the Chargers with momentum but still chaseable. Luke McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel connect to drive Washington to the edge of the red zone, while Johnston’s big role remains muted by a shifting Chargers defense.

Red-zone efficiency and injury news shape the day: Slater is done for the season, Alt out this week, and Derius Davis sidelined again, nudging the Chargers to lean on Herbert’s improvisation. Daniels battles through a knee brace as Washington trades punches, hoping Croskey-Merritt can punch in a game-changing score. The rookie Omarion Hampton provides a spark for LA, as the game tightens into a critical Week 5 tilt.

Puka Nacua remains a fantasy staple, catching 13 of 14 targets for 170 yards and a score as the Rams beat the Colts, signaling elite target share for the rest of the season. The Steelers flipped the script in Dublin with a dominant defensive surge that sacked Wentz seven times and sparked a crucial win. Across the league, heavy-pass rushes and standout QB–WR duos (Penix to London, Stroud to his receivers) are reshaping weekly projections and DFS lineups.

Washington battled injuries and a stout Falcons attack, but a late field-goal decision and an unsuccessful onside attempt doomed the comeback in a 34-27 loss.

Mariota found a rhythm after a slow start; Washington rushed for 147 yards at 6.7 per carry, led by Rodriguez and Croskey-Merritt, while Bijan Robinson totaled 181 yards for Atlanta and London topped 100. Matt Gay went 4-for-4 on field goals, Luke McCaffrey sparked the return game, and coaching miscues capped a night of mixed results.
