Walker ripped off 128 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries and added two catches (on three targets) for 11 yards during Sunday's 22-6 win against the Chargers.

Following the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, Walker continued his early-season momentum with his new team, surpassing 100 yards on the ground for the fourth time in five games in a different uniform than the Seahawks. He now boasts 133.0 rushing yards per game, which prorated over a 17-game slate (2,261) would easily go past Eric Dickerson's NFL record 2,105 from the 1984 campaign and also mark the 10th 2,000-yard season in the history of the league. Walker's next chance to strike occurs next Sunday when he visits his former teammates in Seattle.

Knight rushed 15 times for 80 yards and caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams.

Knight got an extended opportunity in the absence of Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and was far more efficient than Tyler Allgeier, who mustered just 38 rushing yards on 18 rushing attempts. Love figures to reclaim the lead role in Arizona's backfield upon his return, which could come as soon as Week 7 against the Broncos, but Knight could get a sizable workload should Love remain sidelined. Prior to Sunday's win, Knight had just three carries and no targets all season.

Allgeier rushed 18 times for 38 yards and caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Rams.

Allgeier racked up 19 touches in the absence of Jeremiyah Love (ankle), but the former struggled to find running room and was outplayed by third-string running back Bam Knight, who turned 17 touches into 98 yards in Arizona's unlikely victory. Allgeier's season averaged dipped below 3.0 yards per carry with Sunday's inefficient outing. Love would likely reclaim the lead role if he returns in Week 7 against the Broncos, and Knight could also earn touches at Allgeier's expense moving forward in a crowded Cardinals backfield that may also welcome James Conner (foot) back from injured reserve in the coming weeks.

Taylor carried the ball 21 times for 94 yards and a touchdown and caught two of four targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Titans. He also lost a fumble.

For the fourth time in six games, Taylor came up just short of 100 rushing yards, but his 151 scrimmage yards were a season high and he got into the end zone for the seventh time in 2026 on a four-yard run in the fourth quarter. His fumble was one of three Indy turnovers on the day, however, and it was Taylor's second lost fumble of the year. While he's on pace for double-digit TDs once again, Taylor's 4.0 YPC would be the worst mark of his career. He'll try to find another gear in Week 7 against the Vikings.

Pollard carried the ball 19 times for 76 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Colts.

Tyjae Spears had only two touches as Pollard dominated work in the Titans backfield, and the veteran RB led the team in scrimmage yards on the afternoon. Pollard's 76 rushing yards were a season high, however, and he's gotten into the end zone just once in six games. He'll offer a solid floor, but little ceiling, in a Week 7 matchup against the Browns.

Demercado (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup with the Packers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Demercado was signed to the team's 53-man roster Tuesday, but he will ultimately take a seat in Week 6. In his absence, Javonte Williams and Tyler Goodson will handle the lion's share of the touches in the backfield.

Steele has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a shoulder injury.

Steele exited the first quarter of Sunday's game with the injury before returning briefly in the second quarter. The running back exited the game shortly thereafter, when he appearing to aggravate the initial injury on kickoff coverage. Signed to the 53-man roster last week to add depth to an injury-plagued running back room, Steele didn't log any carries and recorded a four-yard reception on two targets prior to leaving the game.

Kamara (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Kamara missed some time in the first half after attempting to haul in a pass from QB Tyler Shough down the left sideline, but his return indicates he'll attempt to gut through whatever is affecting him. Having said that, the Saints are continuing to employ a timeshare between Kamara, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson out of the backfield, so Kamara's current outlook isn't exactly fantasy friendly.

Kamara (undisclosed) walked slowly to the medical tent during Sunday's game at the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

While attempting to catch a somewhat errant pass down the left sideline, Kamara landed awkwardly and appeared to be shaken up. The current health concern isn't known, but he has been dealing with a back injury the last two weeks, so it may be an aggravation of that issue. Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson are the Saints' current healthy and available running backs.

Steele (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Steele exited the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Panthers with a shoulder injury. Jaydon Blue will be the only reserve running back behind starter Dameon Pierce if Steele cannot return to the contest.
