Denzel Boston hauled in 4-of-7 targets for 89 yards in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Boston rebounded from just a so-so output in Week 3, leading the Browns in receiving yards Thursday night for the third time in four games. The rookie has quickly acclimated to the NFL, totaling 13 catches for an average of 71 yards per game and two touchdowns to this point.

Fantasy Impact: Mariota will get a second straight start at the helm of the Washington offense on Sunday, as Jayden Daniels (elbow) is not yet ready to return. Daniels has been practicing in a limited fashion this week, so his return to the starting role may not be far off. Mariota played quite well in an upset of the Seahawks last week, passing for 183 yards and three touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact: Daniels has been progressing this week from his elbow injury, even getting in some limited practice sessions. He's still not quite ready to go, however, as Marcus Mariota will draw a second straight start behind center. Daniels will look ahead to a Week 5 matchup against the Giants.

Jaleel McLaughlin turned his one carry into a 28-yard touchdown in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: McLaughlin has carried the ball twice and been targeted only once over his three games with the Browns. However, he hit paydirt with his one carry Thursday night, scoring from 28 yards out to put the Browns on the board early in the second quarter. McLaughlin could see a bit more usage going forward, but he's well behind workhorse back Quinshon Judkins at the moment.

Raheim Sanders gained nine yards on two carries and seven yards on two receptions in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Sanders now has 10 catches on 11 targets for 73 yards over the first four games of the season, but he's only carried the ball six times for 31 yards. He is the No. 2 RB behind Quinshon Judkins, but he just isn't getting enough volume to merit much fantasy consideration.

Quinshon Judkins rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, adding 43 yards on six receptions in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Judkins finally hit paydirt this season, plunging into the end zone from two yards out during the second quarter of Thursday's game. Judkins still averaged just over 3.0 yards per carry in this contest, but he totaled a season-high 96 yards of offense on 23 touches. After rushing for only 54 yards over the first two weeks, the second-year back has gained 123 yards over the last two.

Deshaun Watson completed 24 of 33 passes for 268 yards, with one touchdown and one interception, and added 22 yards on seven carries in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Watson continues to surprise pretty much everyone with his mostly effective play during the Browns' current three-game winning streak. He did throw one pick and coughed up a fumble, but Watson also led a game-winning drive in the final two minutes after the Steelers came back from 11 down in the fourth quarter. Watson had completed 69.6% of his passes on the season, averaging better than 210 yards per game with a 6-2 TD/INT ratio. He has also rushed for 127 yards on 31 carries.

The Steelers' D/ST allowed 27 points on 372 yards of total offense, recording five sacks and forcing two turnovers in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

Fantasy Impact: The Steelers' defense made plenty of big plays in Thursday's loss. The unit also gave up a few too many big plays. The Steelers have allowed division rivals to put up exactly 27 points in back-to-back weeks. There's no doubting the Pittsburgh pass rush, but as a whole, the defense has been showing some holes. The Colts are next up.

Chris Boswell made 1-of-2 field-goal attempts and his only PAT in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

Fantasy Impact: Boswell made a field goal from 31 yards and missed another from 48 yards Thursday night. With the Steelers trying a pair of two-point conversions during a fourth-quarter comeback, the veteran kicker attempted only one PAT on the night. Through four games, Boswell is 7-of-10 on FG attempts and has made all six of his PATs. He's a middle-of-the-road fantasy option at the moment.

The Browns" D/ST gave up 24 points on 361 yards of total offense, coming up with two sacks and two interceptions in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: The Browns largely shut the Steelers' offense down through the first three quarters Thursday night, allowing just 10 points. The Steelers rallied for a fourth-quarter comeback behind QB Aaron Rodgers before Browns kicker Andre Szmyt nailed a 56-yard, game-winning field goal with 10 seconds remaining. Still, the Browns defense turned in a fairly solid effort, and the unit has played well during a surprising three-game winning streak. An inviting matchup with the Jets awaits in Week 5.

Andre Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PATs in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Browns.

Fantasy Impact: The Browns won three straight games, and suddenly Szmyt looks like a very useful fantasy option. The second-year pro hit a career-long 56-yard FG with 10 seconds left to win Thursday's contest, and he's been perfect on eight three-point attempts and seven PATs so far this season.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran wideout was limited for a second-straight practice on Thursday as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury of some kind. He is likely to play through it this week, however, and remains a high-upside fantasy option on a week-to-week basis moving forward.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran is dealing with some kind of a minor groin injury, which contributed to him being a limited participant at Thursday's practice. It's not currently thought to be much of an issue for him, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on what his injury status ends up being heading into the weekend.

Fantasy Impact: Dulin has been sidelined for a couple of weeks due to an ankle injury, but he made his return to practice and was a full participant on Thursday, putting him in line to play Sunday. It's worth keeping an eye on his official injury designation after practice on Friday, however, as the team may still let him sit out another week.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran is still recovering from an illness and didn't practice on Thursday as a result. It seems likely that he will play in Week 4, but we won't know for sure until closer to game time.

Fantasy Impact: A knee injury has been bothering Van Lanen for a while now, but he played through it last week and should be able to do the same again this week. His limited participation at practice is likely just an injury management tactic on the part of the team.

Jakobi Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Jacksonville Jaguars on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Meyers remained a limited participant for another practice on Thursday. He should be good to go for Sunday's game, however, assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks between now and then.

LeQuint Allen Jr. (hip) was limited at practice on Thursday. (Source: Jacksonville Jaguars)

Fantasy Impact: Allen has been limited all year due to this hip issue, so it's not surprising that that continues on Thursday. He should be available to play but doesn't project to be a good fantasy option in Week 4, however.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran was able to return to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday. He seems to have a good chance to play in Week 4, and we should know more about his availability after the team's final practice of the week on Friday.

Keion White (hamstring) was officially a non-participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: San Francisco 49ers)

Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, White was officially listed as a non-participant due to his hamstring issue. It may very well leave him sidelined in Week 4, which is less than ideal for the team with Nick Bosa (knee/calf) already hurt.
