Gainwell rushed two times for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers. He caught his only target for seven yards.

Even with Sean Tucker (quadriceps) inactive, Gainwell didn't see any sort of increase in his offensive role, getting out-carried 19 to two by Bucky Irving, who also saw three targets. Gainwell has 122 total yards through six games and can be sent to waivers in 10- and 12-team redraft fantasy leagues.

Skattebo played only six snaps and got zero carries or targets in the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

One week after losing a key fumble in a 27-27 tie to the Commanders, Skattebo was removed from his starting job as the Giants' backfield devolved into a four-man committee. Tyrone Tracy was the team's most productive back, scoring one rushing and one receiving TD but managing just 45 scrimmage yards on eight touches, while Devin Singletary had 33 yards on five touches and Najee Harris eked out just two rushing yards on four carries. With no one really stepping up in his place, Skattebo could return to a more significant role in Week 7 against the Texans, but it will be hard to trust any New York RB in fantasy lineups until one of them emerges from the pack.

Jordan rushed six times for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars. He added one catch for seven yards on one target.

With David Montgomery (groin) out, Jordan was called up from the practice squad for Sunday's game and logged 14 offensive snaps behind Woody Marks' 49 out of the backfield. Jordan's big play was a 25-yard touchdown scamper in the third quarter that gave Houston a 31-21 lead. Montgomery is considered week-to-week, so Jordan could again play a significant role behind Marks next Sunday against the Giants.

Corum produced 42 yards on nine carries and reeled in both of his targets for 18 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 18-16 loss against the Cardinals.

Corum was only two touches behind the Rams' clear lead RB Kyren Williams, which marked the second-smallest gap between the two in a game this season. Moreover, Corum took advantage of Sunday's slightly expanded workload by reaching the end zone for the second time in as many contests. So far, his 56 touches have equated to 314 yards from scrimmage and two TDs, and he'll aim for another somewhat even split with Williams next Sunday at Las Vegas.

Johnson rushed 13 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Falcons. He caught both of his targets for 34 yards.

With Kyle Monangai (toe) still sidelined, Johnson played 31 offensive snaps behind D'Andre Swift's 45. Johnson actually led the team in rushing, edging out Swift's 44 yards on the ground. Both running backs found the end zone, with Swift scoring a pair of touchdowns on the ground on 16 carries. With Monangai out the last two weeks, Johnson has totaled 125 yards and a score on 27 combined carries and targets. He's got fantasy playability for as long as Monangai is out.

Kamara carried the ball seven times for 34 yards and caught two of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

The veteran RB left the game in the first half due to an undisclosed injury, but he was cleared to return and connected with Tyler Shough for a 31-yard score in the third quarter. Kamara's seven touches were well behind Kendre Miller's 22, but his 69 scrimmage yards were just one shy of Miller's 70 for the team lead. The duo will split backfield duties for at least one more game in Week 7 against the Steelers, before Travis Etienne (hamstring) will be eligible to come off IR after a Week 8 bye.

Williams notched 10 carries for 50 yards and recorded three catches (on six targets) for 17 yards during Sunday's 18-16 defeat to the Cardinals.

Williams' rush total represents a season low as he ceded nine carries to reserve RB Blake Corum. Additionally, Williams also didn't reach the end zone for only the second time in six games in 2026, while Corum recorded a TD for the second consecutive contest. Williams is nearly exactly doubling up Corum in terms of touches on the campaign (110 vs. 56), so he figures to be the better bet for a fantasy-relevant performance next Sunday in Las Vegas

Hampton rushed seven times for 18 yards and caught all four of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Chiefs.

The Chargers continued to employ an ineffective backfield rotation, as Hampton got 11 touches compared to 10 for Kimani Vidal and two for Keaton Mitchell. None of the three running backs exceeded 3.0 yards per carry while QB Justin Herbert led the team with 26 rushing yards. Hampton has been trending in the wrong direction, with his rushing yardage dropping with each subsequent game since a 94-yard performance on the ground in Week 2 against the Raiders. He'll look to reverse that trend in Week 8 against the Rams following a Week 7 bye.

Miller carried the ball 20 times for 70 yards and caught both his targets for zero yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Alvin Kamara missed time in the first half due to an undisclosed injury, and while he was able to return and make an impact as a pass catcher, Miller led the Saints in rushing yards and touches with 22. The 70 yards also represented his best total since Week 18 of his rookie season in 2023. With Travis Etienne (hamstring) not eligible to return until after a Week 8 bye, Miller should split reps in the backfield with Kamara once again in Week 7 against the Steelers in Paris.

Tracy rushed six times for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints. He added two catches for 27 yards and an additional touchdown on three targets.

With Cam Skattebo seemingly benched after losing a fumble in overtime against the Commanders last Sunday, Tracy played a season-high 29 offensive snaps and led the team with six rushing attempts. Only Devin Singletary (31 snaps) played more on offense, as Najee Harris (11 snaps) got the nominal start. Skattebo was in for just six offensive plays. It's unclear if the Giants will continue to punish Skattebo next Sunday against the Texans, but this looks like a backfield to avoid in fantasy.
