The National Football League has announced that Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, and Tennessee Titans placekicker Nick Folk are the American Football Conference’s top players for Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season.
The Buffalo Bills had no answer for Henry, who had 199 rushing yards and a touchdown during their monumental encounter. It’s Henry’s second consecutive 100-yard game after finishing with 154 against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3.
However, the former NFL Offensive Player of the Year wasn’t done, adding a receiving touchdown in Baltimore’s 35-10 demolition of the Bills. The Cincinnati Bengals have no chance if Henry continues this production level in their Week 5 encounter.
Meanwhile, Jones helped the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated after four games by tallying four tackles (two for negative yardage), two sacks, and three quarterback hits against the Los Angeles Chargers. Those numbers improved his season totals to three sacks, nine tackles, and six QB hits. Jones will carry this momentum as the Chiefs try to maintain their undefeated record versus the New Orleans Saints.

Finally, Folk contributed 17 points in the Titans’ Week 4 victory against the Miami Dolphins. In addition to two extra points following Tennessee’s touchdowns, he also converted five field goal attempts. Folk remains perfect through the first four games of 2024, converting all seven attempts. After earning their first victory this season, the Titans will get a bye before facing the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6.
