Ertz returned to form after last week's two-catch dud, recording six catches for the third time through four games to start the season. The usually sure-handed tight end could have scored his first touchdown of 2023 had he not let a well-placed pass from quarterback Joshua Dobbs slip through his hands in the end zone Sunday. Ertz will look to correct his mistake and hit pay dirt when the Cardinals face the Bengals next Sunday.

Ertz returned to form after last week's two-catch dud, recording six catches for the third time through four games to start the season. The usually sure-handed tight end could have scored his first touchdown of 2023 had he not let a well-placed pass from quarterback Joshua Dobbs slip through his hands in the end zone Sunday. Ertz will look to correct his mistake and hit pay dirt when the Cardinals face the Bengals next Sunday.
Dobbs turned in his best fantasy start through four games this season despite losing by several scores to San Francisco. It was the 28-year-old journeyman's first game of his career with multiple passing touchdowns, as he continues to start in place of the injured Kyler Murray (knee). Dobbs' ability to take off from the pocket and provide rushing stats in addition to his middling passing results puts him on the fringe of fantasy utility through four weeks. Dobbs will now return to Arizona to take on a struggling Bengals squad next Sunday.
Wilson was already coming off of his best fantasy game of the season against Dallas in Week 3 (2-86-0), but he raised the bar once more with his first and second touchdowns of his young career. The rookie's seven targets still finished behind Marquise Brown and tight end Zach Ertz, who tied for the team lead with 10 targets in Sunday's loss. Wilson has an opportunity to usurp the struggling Rondale Moore (no receptions Sunday) as the No. 2 wideout for Arizona if he hasn't done so already. Wilson will look to continue his recent string of success in a home matchup against the Bengals next Sunday.
Brown overcame the thumb injury that threatened his availability during the practice week leading up to Sunday's tilt. The 2019 first-round pick was unable to extend his touchdown streak to three games, but he still provided value with new season highs in yards and receptions. Brown has transitioned well to becoming Arizona's No. 1 receiver following the offseason trade of DeAndre Hopkins. Hollywood is now averaging 5.3 receptions and 59.8 yards with two touchdowns through four games this season. Look for the speedster to continue building a rapport with fill-in starter Joshua Dobbs against the Bengals next Sunday while Kyler Murray (knee) remains sidelined.
The 49ers took a quick 21-3 lead in this contest, forcing the Cardinals to abandon the running element from its gameplan in the second half. Conner performed well on an individual basis by averaging 4.7 yards on his 11 attempts, which actually dropped his season average to a healthy 5.1 yards per carry through four games. No other Cardinal running back received more than one carry in Sunday's loss, confirming Conner's firm grasp of the starting job as the team prepares to face Cincinnati next Sunday.
Boyd left Sunday's game without recording a tackle and is now listed as questionable to return. The Chargers will hope that the 27-year-old can return to action as he is a regular contributor on special teams.
Barnes is ready to go after he was able to log back-to-back limited practices to wrap up the week prior to Sunday. The linebacker has recorded 16 tackles and three pass deflections over the first three contests of the year.
After showing up as limited on Thursday's practice report due to a neck injury, Ingram didn't practice at all Friday, resulting in a questionable tag for Week 4. Now that he won't be available to the Cardinals offense Sunday, Ingram will hand off reserve RB duties to Emari Demercado and practice-squad call-up Corey Clement behind starter James Conner.
