  • Vikings' Demond Claiborne: Minimal usage in win

    Claiborne caught his sole target for two yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

    Claiborne is the No. 2 running back behind Aaron Jones while Jordan Mason (thumb) recovers on IR. The 22-year-old saw just two offensive snaps in Sunday's game, meaning DeeJay Dallas could have a shot at claiming the backup role from the sixth-rounder in the future.

    Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Catches sole target in tight win

    Dallas rushed twice for eight yards and caught his sole target for 12 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

    Dallas played eight offensive snaps, totaling 20 yards in a game where offense was at a premium. The running back also contributed eight special-teams reps, filling in occasionally while starting rusher Aaron Jones took most of the carries.

  • Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR

    Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Hurts calf Monday

    Rivers has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Giants due to a calf injury.

    It's not clear when Rivers was hurt, but he was ruled out shortly after halftime. Prior to his exit, the Fresno State product didn't log any touches on offense. Kyren Williams and Blake Corum will continue to lead Los Angeles' backfield.

  • Braelon Allen RB | NYJ

    Jets' Braelon Allen: Scores in overtime loss

    Allen rushed five times for seven yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers.

    Allen scored a touchdown in the second quarter of Sunday's game on a five-yard rush. The running back played 23 offensive snaps in the contest, seeing supplemental volume behind No. 1 running back Breece Hall's 47 snaps and 16 carries.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: One snap in loss

    Tucker played one special-teams snap in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Browns.

    Tucker saw no action from scrimmage behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell while making his season debut after missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury. The No. 3 running back will likely continue in a deep reserve role for the Buccaneers' Week 3 matchup with the Vikings.

  • Chargers' Keaton Mitchell: Efficient with limited touches

    Mitchell rushed five times for 24 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders.

    Mitchell operated as a distant No. 2 option in the backfield, logging 17 snaps on offense while starter Omarion Hampton was on the field for 43 of the team's 68 offensive snaps. Mitchell was able to make the most of his opportunities, averaging 4.8 YPC while reeling in his first catch of the season. The running back also added 47 yards on two kickoff returns in the contest. Mitchell has shown enough to be worth a stash in deeper fantasy leagues, but he will continue to have a limited ceiling as long as Hampton is active.

  • Travis Homer RB | PIT

    Steelers' Travis Homer: Reverts to practice squad

    Homer reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Homer is likely to be elevated again for the Steelers' Week 3 matchup against the Bengals due to the injury to Rico Dowdle (toe). Homer had two carries for 16 yards coupled with 10 special-teams snaps in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. The veteran back should serve as the No. 3 backfield option behind Jaylen Warren and Eli Heidenreich if Dowdle cannot suit up for next Sunday's contest.

  • Titans' Nicholas Singleton: Four carries in regular-season debut

    Singleton rushed four times for 10 yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Singleton made his regular-season debut with Tennessee after being a healthy scratch Week 1 versus the Jets. The running back played six of the team's 53 offensive snaps, far fewer than starter Tony Pollard (29) and top reserve option Tyjae Spears (19). All four of Singleton's carries came on the same possession in the third quarter, and he also logged six snaps with the special-teams unit during the contest. Singleton will remain an unappealing fantasy option as long as Pollard and Spears are active.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Logs 70 yards against Philadelphia

    Spears turned seven carries into 41 yards and brought in both of his targets for 29 yards during the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Spears was on the field for only 19 of the Titans' 53 offensive snaps (35.8 percent) and saw noticeably less playing time than lead back Tony Pollard (29 snaps). That said, Spears managed to accumulate 70 yards on nine touches, his most yards in a game since Week 16 of the 2025 season against the Chiefs (105). The fourth-year pro also helped the Titans take the lead late with a 27-yard carry on third-and-22, ultimately leading to a 33-yard field goal from Joey Slye four plays later. The Titans will hit the road for the first time this season Week 3 against the Giants.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Considered day-to-day

    Wright (neck) is day-to-day heading into Week 3, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Wright suffered a stinger during Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers, and he finished his day having turned two carries into 11 yards while also adding 79 kickoff-return yards. The running back's status at the team's first practice of the week Wednesday will shed some more light on his chances to play Week 3 versus the Chiefs.
