   Washington rushed nine times for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He added one catch for minus-1 yard on two targets.

   Washington's nine carries were his most in a single game to begin the season and came one week after he broke out for 54 yards and a touchdown on five carries against the Saints. The rookie running back closed the gap some on Ashton Jeanty atop the backfield, but Washington didn't do much with his chances against Kansas City. He remains one of the stronger fantasy bench stashes.

   Fantasy football: Six players to trade for, two to pick up

   Over the first couple of weeks in this space, we focused on the players failing to meet preseason expectations. Justin Herbert, Colston Loveland and Marvin Harrison Jr. have had rough starts that forced managers to make tough decisions for their lineups. So, I wanted to write something more positive heading into Week 4, looking at the fantasy targets who are playing at a higher level or showing flashes that point to potential upside. Volume receivers in the pass game, a quarterback throwing with consistency from the pocket in a big-time offense and the rookies jumping off the tape. Below are eight ascending players to consider trading for or adding to your rosters. Six players to trade for DJ Moore, WR, Buffalo Bills This is an ideal time to get Moore in a trade. He had an early shoulder injury in the Week 2 game versus Detroit that wiped out his day (minus-0.1 points), and he followed that up with six receptions for 67 yards (12.3 points) in the Bills' Week 3 win over the Chargers. But if we look deeper at the numbers, plus his route deployment, Moore has excellent value in an explosive Bills offense. In Weeks 1 and 3, when Moore played a full game, he saw at least eight targets, with a target share of 33.5%, a number that jumps to 50% on third downs. Moore is also the vertical option for Josh Allen, as he's already seen six targets of 15 or more air yards. Plus, the Bills can scheme for Moore as a motion/movement player, getting him free access off the ball to beat man coverage or targeting him on boot and screen concepts. The Bills are going to score points at a high rate, and Moore is the top target in this offense. Don't be surprised if Moore produces some WR1 weeks. Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions Goff is scoring 21.2 fantasy PPG despite very limited rushing totals (15 yards) because he's one of the league's best pocket throwers. Goff has completed 70.6% of passes this season, and he has at least two touchdown throws in all three games. He's a rhythm passer in an offense scoring 31.0 PPG (third most), and that Detroit defense is really struggling to find an identity (allowing a league-worst 31.7 PPG), which can lead to more shootouts for Goff. Now, can you get Goff in a trade? The arrow is pointing up, but let's look for managers in 10- or 12-team leagues who drafted Goff as their QB2. Make a move now because Goff can be used as a matchup-based starter, and his upcoming schedule (@CAR, @ARI, BYE, GB) looks really good. He's going to get you 16 to 18 points a week, and we can win with that. Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars The value is up for Washington, as he's scoring 16.4 fantasy PPG, while seeing a target share of 30.3%. He has caught a touchdown in two of three games played. Maybe you have to offer more than you would have at the beginning of the season. I get it. However, Washington is playing in a contract year (which matters), and his deployment in Liam Coen's system — with inside/outside flex — leads to weekly production. We know Washington can uncover from slot alignments, but he also brings a vertical presence to the field. Washington currently owns a vertical route rate of 45.7%, and he's caught six of 10 targets on throws of 15 or more air yards (with two touchdowns). So, you're not making a move for just a traditional slot guy here. Instead, you're getting a glider in the route tree (at multiple levels) who will see steady volume from Trevor Lawrence. He should be locked in as a WR2. Matthew Golden, WR, Green Bay Packers Golden had 21 points in the Week 3 loss to the Falcons, and he's scoring 15.4 points a game. The volume is up, too, as Golden has seen 12 targets in two of three games played, which includes three end zone targets on the season. And the numbers fit for a team that has been more pass-heavy due to the lack of a difference-maker in the running back room with Josh Jacobs still on the commissioner exempt list. The Packers signed several free agent offensive linemen this week, which mes

   Washington turned five carries into 54 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints.

   Washington was only on the field for 11 of the team's 70 offensive snaps, but he still left his mark on the contest. Most notably, the running back broke loose for a 36-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter. Washington is a distant No. 2 option behind Ashton Jeanty in the Raiders backfield, but he now has rushed 15 times for 102 yards and a TD over three contests to open the 2026 campaign.

   Washington rushed three times for seven yards while failing to catch his only target during Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.

   Washington was far less efficient with his carries in Week 2, averaging 2.3 YPC after he turned seven carries into 41 yards against the Dolphins in the team's regular-season opener. The running back operated as a distant No. 2 option in the backfield, as Ashton Jeanty logged 21 carries for 48 yards while catching four of seven targets for 15 yards. Washington is nothing more than a bench stash option in fantasy leagues at the moment.

   Washington rushed seven times for 41 yards in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

   After Ashton Jeanty dealt with an ankle sprain for the previous month, it was unclear if the Raiders would dial things back with their star running back. Jeanty went on to handle a full workload, rushing 23 times for 102 yards, while also leading the team in catches and receiving yards with a 6-45-2 line. Washington looked good on his seven chances, but it's clear Jeanty is healthy, making Washington a mere bench stash in fantasy.
