Kamara rushed six times for 32 yards while catching three of four targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 23-22 overtime win against the Browns.

Kamara operated as the team's No. 2 option in the backfield behind Audric Estime (15-72-1) in Week 9. Estime was claimed off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, and he immediately supplanted Kamara as the team's lead back. Kamara has yet to exceed 40 rushing yards in a game this season, and he has scored just one touchdown over the team's last four contests combined.

Hampton rushed 13 times for 60 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans.

Hampton worked as the Chargers' primary rushing option ahead of Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal, who recorded seven carries apiece. The 0-8 Chargers unsurprisingly faced another negative game script, though, and Hampton wasn't involved in the passing game. The 2025 first-round pick continues to disappoint on a surprisingly awful offense that could get even worse should QB Justin Herbert (finger) miss any additional action after exiting in the fourth quarter. Hampton will try to snap a four-game touchdown drought in Week 10 against the Ravens.

Jeanty rushed six times for 25 yards while catching five of seven targets for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers.

The Raiders largely abandoned the run after falling down 14-0 early, but Jeanty was more effective with his six carries than Mike Washington, who rushed six times for minus-3 yards and finished without a target. Sunday's even distribution in carries was a positive development for Jeanty, who had just two rushing attempts to Washington's 25 in the Week 8 win over the Jets. Jeanty still has more receiving yards (371) than rushing yards (362) and is averaging just 3.2 yards per carry heading into a difficult Week 10 matchup against Seattle's elite front seven.

Dobbins rushed four times for 18 yards and caught his only target for four yards during Sunday's 26-21 win over Carolina.

Dobbins saw 13 fewer carries than rookie running back Jonah Coleman (17-57-1) in the game. The four rushes were a season low for Dobbins, and he figures to continue to operate as the team's No. 2 option in the backfield moving forward.

Jacobs fractured his finger during Sunday's 45-27 win over the Patriots, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Head coach Matt LaFleur revealed the nature of Jacobs' injury after the game. Jacobs exited the win with what was initially deemed a hand injury. He was unable to return against the Patriots, but the Packers are hoping Jacobs will be available for Week 10 against the Vikings. If Jacobs can't go, Pierre Strong, Kaleb Johnson and possibly MarShawn Lloyd (knee) would be Green Bay's backfield options.

Estime carried the ball 15 times for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-22 overtime win over the Browns. he also caught his only target for five yards.

It was a revenge game for the third-year RB, who was cut loose by Cleveland last week and got claimed on waivers by New Orleans to offer some depth for a depleted backfield. Estime played for the Saints in 2025 and didn't need to learn Kellen Moore's playbook, putting him in prime position to step into a big role right away, and he led the team with 16 touches ahead of Alvin Kamara's nine. Estime capped his big performance with a two-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. While he certainly made a case for a consistent role in the offense, rookie CJ Donaldson (shoulder) could be back next week and Travis Etienne (hamstring) might be close to returning from IR. Estime could still be atop the depth chart, at least temporarily, for a Week 10 clash with the Panthers.

McGowan rushed six times for 45 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for minus-3 yards in the Colts' 27-23 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

McGowan recorded his first NFL touchdown on a two-yard run in the first quarter, perhaps a harbinger of a larger role as early as next Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins. McGowan came just a rush yard short of equaling his career best tally in that category, and if Jonathan Taylor is indeed moved off the roster by Tuesday's trade deadline, the former would be in line to serve as the lead back moving forward.

McCaffrey rushed 18 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.

McCaffrey got banged up in San Francisco's Week 7 loss to the Falcons, but a Week 8 bye allowed his hamstring to heal and the star running back handled 20 touches Sunday while scoring twice to bring his season total to 10 touchdowns. He capped San Francisco's opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run and added a 12-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Rookie third-round pick Kaelon Black led the 49ers with 70 rushing yards on 11 carries, but McCaffrey remains the lead back heading into a Week 10 trip to Dallas, during which CMC will try to extend a seven-game touchdown streak.

Johnson rushed six times for 34 yards and a touchdown and returned one kickoff for 29 yards in the Chiefs' 35-12 win over the Jets on Sunday.

The Chiefs held a 28-12 lead by the end of three quarters, which provided the opportunity for head coach Andy Reid to give Kenneth Walker, who scored three total touchdowns, some down time in the latter portion of the contest. Johnson took advantage of his opportunities, recording a six-yard touchdown run with 3:35 remaining in the contest. The rookie fifth-round pick's yardage total was a new career high, while his carry tally was his highest since Week 3. Johnson will remain in a modest No. 2 role for a Week 10 road matchup against the Falcons next Sunday.

Goodson rushed 12 times for 77 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Cowboys' 27-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Facing the team for which he played two-plus seasons from 2023-25, Goodson put together a highly efficient performance as a complementary option to Javonte Williams. Goodson's carry and yardage totals were both season highs, as was his average of 6.4 yards per carry. The Iowa product is seeing steady usage in a run-heavy Cowboys offense, and he's logged 29 carries over the last three games heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers.
