Williams rushed 25 times for 155 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Williams broke out for a new single-game career high in rushing yards during the impressive victory, sealing the win with a two-yard scoring run just ahead of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. The remarkable performance also marked Williams' first 100-yard tally of the season, and he's been highly rewarding for fantasy managers by scoring a touchdown in five straight games. Williams should have a prime opportunity to continue building on his strong first half of the season in Week 8, as he'll face a vulnerable Cardinals run defense at home on Sunday.

Barkley is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cowboys due to a back injury.

Barkley entered Monday's contest managing a hamstring injury but was ultimately able to suit up. The star running back looked hobbled throughout much of the game but was able to tally 62 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries along with two catches on two targets for nine yards before being deemed questionable to return early in the fourth period. The Eagles indicated that Barkley is dealing with a back issue when announcing his 'questionable' tag, so it's unclear if the hamstring is also still bothering him.

Giddens did not play a single snap during Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Vikings.

Giddens dressed for Sunday's game, but he observed the entire contest from the sidelines while Seth McGowan served as the Colts' lone backup to Jonathan Taylor. Giddens has yet to play a snap this regular season, but that could change if the Colts -- who have a 2-5 record -- are sellers at the trade deadline and opt to send Taylor to another team.

Ogunbowale didn't record an offensive touch or target in Sunday's 24-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

Even with David Montgomery (groin) and Jawhar Jordan (quadriceps) injured and inactive, Ogunbowale played just seven offensive snaps behind Woody Marks' 54. Ogunbowale can continue to be ignored in fantasy football.

McGowan turned 11 carries into 46 yards, caught his only target for two yards and added 140 yards as a kick returner during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.

McGowan played a season-high 31 percent of the team's offensive snaps, and as a result, he was able to set new highs in both carries and rushing yards. With Jonathan Taylor potentially set to be traded in the coming weeks, the rookie would stand to operate as the team's lead back following Taylor's departure. On the season, McGowan has rushed 34 times for 134 yards and reeled in four of five targets for 12 yards while compiling 566 kickoff-return yards over seven contests so far.

McLaughlin turned five kickoff returns into 117 yards during the Browns' 27-24 win over the Titans on Sunday.

McLaughlin played a key role in the Browns' Week 6 win over the Ravens, when he turned nine carries into 41 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 13 yards. However, his role on offense evaporated Sunday due to the returns of both Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. McLaughlin figures to be limited to return duties moving forward unless one or both of Judkins or Sampson were to miss time.

Holani turned five carries into 11 yards and caught one of two passes for 12 yards during the Seahawks' 20-3 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

All five of Holani's carries came in the first half, but he didn't record a rush over the final two quarters as Emanuel Wilson dominated the Seahawks' backfield to finish with 100 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. Holani has logged five carries in three of his last four games, but he would likely be demoted to RB3 duties against the Bears in Week 8 if Zach Charbonnet (knee) is cleared play in that contest.

Hill took three carries for seven yards and caught three of four targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 35-13 loss versus the Bengals.

Baltimore led for most of the game Sunday before falling behind late in the third quarter, and from that point on, the game script favored Hill. Even still, his snap count at running back in Week 7 (29) lagged behind that of starter Derrick Henry (33). When Lamar Jackson (ankle) returns to action, it should give a boost to the entire Ravens offense.

Johnson caught two of three passes for 17 yards and returned three kickoffs for 81 yards during Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks. He also added two tackles on special teams.

Johnson was held without a carry for the second time in three games, with lead back Kenneth Walker bottled up for 36 yards on 14 carries (2.6 YPC). Johnson has seen three carries or fewer in four of the first six games of the regular season and figures to be limited to a third-down role as a pass catcher unless Walker were to miss time. The Chiefs will stay on the road for a Week 8 divisional matchup against the Broncos on Nov. 1.

Etienne posted six carries for eight yards and reeled in all two targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 43-13 defeat to the Buccaneers.

Etienne made his second appearance of the 2026 campaign after missing the first four games due to an ankle injury. Although he was slightly more productive than he was in the Week 6 win over the Eagles, it was still an underwhelming showing overall. Etienne should continue to occupy the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. However, Chuba Hubbard is anticipated to nearly monopolize the touches out of the backfield moving forward, so it doesn't really matter who is behind him.
