Road Ahead: Five of Brady’s next six opponents rank in the bottom half of the league in passing yards allowed. This week's opponent — Atlanta — allowed 325 passing yards to Geno Smith in Week 3. Julio/Brate: Two of Brady’s pass-catchers — Julio Jones (knee) and starting TE Cameron Brate (concussion) — are dealing with injuries and could miss the Atlanta matchup. Image: Roy K. Miller/Icon Sportswire Odell [Odell Beckham] Odell Beckham teases interest in playing with Aaron Rodgers Details: During yesterday’s Packers-Patriots game, Beckham tweeted out [admiration]( for the ‘effortless’ talent of Aaron Rodgers. - He also responded favorably to a tweet discussing the “damage” he and Rodgers could do together on the same team. Needed? Rodgers, who lost Davante Adams in the offseason, has yet to throw for more than 255 yards this season. While the Packers have managed a 3-1 record, an explosive receiver like Beckham would be helpful in competitive postseason shootouts. More Hints: Beckham, who is expected to sign with a team next month, has also shown interest in re-joining the Rams and playing with Tom Brady. NFL insider Jordan Schultz has also linked him to the Cowboys. - According to the LA Times, the Rams have [kept]( Beckham’s locker intact and will make an aggressive push to re-sign him. - Contrary to recent rumors, a reunion with the Giants seems highly unlikely. Still Got It: Beckham, 30, caught five touchdowns in eight regular season games with the Rams last season. His best performance — 9 catches for 113 yards — came in the NFC Championship Game. Image: Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire 49ers [Fred Warner] MNF: 49ers bully Rams in 24-9 victory Dominant: San Francisco's defense limited the Rams’ to just 3.5 yards per play (257 total yards on 73 plays). - Nick Bosa had two of the 49ers’ seven sacks. Solid: Jimmy Garopplo had one of his signature solid/unspectacular performances, completing 16-of-27 passes for 239 yards, 1 touchdown, and no interceptions. Deebo: Deebo Samuel, who had gotten off to a somewhat slow start this season, exploded for 115 yards and a touchdown on 6 catches. Panic Time? Outside of Cooper Kupp (14 catches for 122 yards), the Rams’ offensive output was hideous. Matthew Stafford played like a backup and was lucky to throw just one interception. - A big part of the issue was a lethargic rushing game — 57 yards on 18 carries (3.2 ypc). - Marquee free-agent signing Allen Robinson — 2 catches on 6 targets for 7 yards — continues to disappoint. Lost Spark: The Rams’ defense struggled and continues to miss the spark of Von Miller. Raheem Morris’ unit did not finish with a single sack or forced turnover. NFC West: Each team in the NFC West now has a 2-2 record. The 49ers are technically in first based on the tiebreaker (divisional record). Next Up: The Rams visit the Cowboys (3-1). The 49ers visit the pathetic Panthers (1-3). Image: Jevone Moore/Icon Sportswire Allgeier [Tyler Allgeier] Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier set to start Details: Allgeier will take over for Cordarelle Patterson — who has been [placed]( on IR with a knee injury. - Patterson, who was averaging 85.0 rushing yards per game, will not be eligible to return until Week 9. Allgeier Profile: Allgeier, a rookie fifth-rounder out of BYU, has rushed for 139 yards on 26 carries (5.3 ypc) this season. - He totaled an impressive 84 yards on 10 carries (8.4 ypc) in the Falcons’ win over the Browns on Sunday. Huntley: Caleb Huntley, a recent practice squad elevation, will back up Allgeier. He totaled 56 yards on 8 carries (7.0 ypc) against Cleveland. Top O-Line: The Falcons are leading the league in yards per carry before contact — an indication that the offensive line has been elite in the run-blocking department. Week 5: Allgeier and Huntley will take on a Tampa defense that just allowed 189 rushing yards to the Chiefs. Image: Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire Tua [Tua Tagovailoa] Dolphins rule Tua Tagovailoa out for Week 5 Details: Tagovailoa [remains]( in concussion protocol and does not have a definite return timeline. - Tagovailoa suffered an obvious head injury in Week 3 against the Bills — but was given clearance to return and finish the game. He and the team later re-classified the injury as a back issue. - Four days later, in a Thursday night matchup against the Bengals, he was stretchered off the field and hospitalized with a concussion. Investigation: The NFLPA continues to investigate adherence to the concussion protocol and has already [fired]( the neurotrauma consultant who let Tagovailoa return to the field in Week 3. Teddy: Teddy Bridgewater will start the Dolphins’ Week 5 matchup against the somewhat impressive Jets. The 29-year-old backup was adequate in relief of Tagovailoa last Thursday, completing 14-of-23 passes (61%) for 193 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Image: Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire Robinson [Brian Robinson Jr.] Commanders to activate RB Brian Robinson Jr. Details: Robinson, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds in August, has been cleared by doctors to return to the team. - HC Ron Rivera is [optimistic]( about Robinson’s availability this Sunday against the Titans. Profile: Robinson, a third-round pick out of Alabama, was pushing for the starting job prior to getting shot. He impressed the team throughout training and the preseason. RB Depth: Robinson could earn playing time rather quickly, as the Commanders have gotten poor efficiency out of Antonio Gibson (3.3 ypc) and J.D. McKissic (3.8 ypc). More Commanders News... - WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring) will miss 1-2 weeks. - DE Chase Young (recovering from a torn ACL) is not ready to return. Image: William Purnell/Icon Sportswire More News - [MRI]( confirms ACL, PCL, and LCL tears for Broncos RB Javonte Williams, who will miss the remainder of the season - [Broncos]( OLB Randy Gregory (knee surgery) will miss 2-6 weeks - [X-Rays]( on Colts RB Jonathan Taylor's ankle came back clean - [Steelers]( will start Kenny Pickett moving foward - [Patriots]( to sign LB Jamie Collins... for a fourth time - [Ravens]( CB Jimmy Smith retired after 11 years - [Ravens]( WR Rashod Bateman has a foot injury - [Titans]( WR Treylon Burks (turf toe) looking at a multi-week absence - [Colts]( LB Shaquile Leonard (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 5 Together with Stathead Question of the Day Who scored the most fantasy points in Week 4? - Geno Smith - Josh Jacobs - Jared Goff - TJ Hockenson Unlock the Pro Football Reference database with Stathead Football.
