Allen rushed 17 times for 78 yards and brought in both targets for 26 yards in the Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Allen served as the Jets' clear lead back during Breece Hall's second straight absence due to a quadriceps injury, and the former put together a productive effort that featured a new season high in receiving yards. Allen has acquitted himself very well as the No. 1 option over the last two games, posting 194 rushing yards and a touchdown alongside three receptions and the 26 receiving yards he accrued Sunday. If Hall remains sidelined in Week 7, Allen will get a crack at a beatable Dolphins defense at home.

Jeanty rushed 10 times for 22 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of six targets for 36 yards in the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Jeanty's inefficient rushing line underscores how Buffalo's stout run defense essentially shut him down, but the 2025 first-round pick did manage to record a one-yard touchdown run, his first of the season, with 4:27 remaining in the first quarter. The Bills had also opened up a 10-point lead going into the final period, so Jeanty lost out on some work to Mike Washington as the Raiders went to more of a pass-centric approach. Jeanty has now been under 30 rushing yards in two straight games, but his work as a receiver helps prop up his fantasy floor overall. Jeanty has collected 313 rushing yards and 251 receiving yards along with three total touchdowns going into a Week 7 home matchup against the Rams on Sunday.

Cook rushed 22 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Cook put together productive runs throughout the afternoon, and he added a 26-yard reception as part of an impressive day as a pass catcher. The standout running back extended his streak of games with at least one rushing touchdown to five as well, crossing the goal line from three yards out with 4:43 remaining in the contest. Cook has mustered between 75 and 154 rushing yards in the last five games after opening the season with a modest 57-yard showing on the ground against the Texans, and he's already amassed 716 scrimmage yards over six games going into a Week 8 home showdown on Sunday, Nov. 1, against the Ravens following a Week 7 bye.

Hubbard rushed 28 times for 120 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for one yard in the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Hubbard thoroughly dominated the Panthers' ground attack with AJ Dillon (ankle) sidelined and finished with his highest rushing workload of the campaign. Hubbard also hit the 120-yard mark on the ground for the second straight contest, and he added his fourth rush TD on a one-yard run early in the fourth quarter. After combining for 102 rushing yards in his first two games of the season, Hubbard has run for 324 yards at 4.8 yards per carry and added a 6-36-0 receiving line over the subsequent trio of contests heading into a Week 7 home divisional clash with the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Swift rushed 16 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns and brought in four of five targets for 26 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

The Falcons' front did a good job on Swift overall, but the veteran running back was able to offset his average of 2.8 yards per carry with four- and two-yard touchdown runs in the first half. Swift was playing without Kyle Monangai (toe) for the second straight game, and the former did function as the clear lead back before Roschon Johnson saw more work as the contest unfolded. Swift has half his six rush TDs on the season in the last pair of contests, but he could see his workload take somewhat of a hit if Monangai is able to return for Thursday night's home contest against the Patriots.

Robinson rushed nine times for 61 yards and brought in both targets for minus-8 yards in the Falcons' 31-23 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

While the final score wouldn't suggest it, the Falcons had to abandon the run fairly early Sunday, as the Bears already had a 21-7 lead at halftime before Atlanta made things somewhat interesting with a 16-point fourth quarter. Robinson therefore finished with his lowest rush attempt and rushing yardage totals of the season, although he did manage to average an impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Robinson may have an uphill battle to get back to a truly normal workload in Week 7 as well, as a high-powered 49ers offense that also has the ability to jump out to commanding leads comes to town next Sunday.

Henry rushed 17 times for 58 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Ravens' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Henry looked like he was on his way to one of his signature performances when he rattled off 11- and 17-yard gains on Baltimore's opening possession, but the veteran back found running room at a premium for most of the rest of the contest. Henry finished without a touchdown for the second straight game and tallied his lowest rushing yardage total of the campaign, rounding out a disappointing day for the Ravens overall. Henry will aim to bounce back in a Week 7 home divisional matchup against the Bengals next Sunday.

Williams rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Williams got the Cowboys on the board with a one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. That was his seventh rushing score and eighth total touchdown through six games this season. Dallas trailed by double digits the entire second half, which explains Williams' season-low carry total. His frequent trips to the end zone have made up for a lack of efficiency, as Williams is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry after notching a career-best 4.8 YPC in 2025. Williams mustered 3.6 YPC in 2023 and 3.7 YPC in 2024 with the Broncos, so his first year in Dallas is starting to look like an outlier in that regard, though he should remain an effective fantasy option as long as he's locked into a three-down role with the Cowboys. He's likely to get more rushing opportunities in Week 7, as the Cowboys are unlikely to fall into a deep hole against an injury-riddled Eagles team on a four-game losing streak.

Lloyd rushed eight times for 10 yards while failing to catch his only target during Sunday night's 23-13 win over Dallas.

Lloyd was rather inefficient in Week 6, averaging 1.3 yards per carry while logging three fewer carries than fellow running back Pierre Strong (11). Lloyd was briefly sidelined by an undisclosed injury during the contest, but his ability to finish the game would suggest that whatever he was dealing with is minor. With Josh Jacobs (personal) expected to be removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List on Monday, Lloyd will likely transition into a complementary role behind Jacobs in the backfield moving forward.

Strong rushed 11 times for 28 yards in Sunday night's 23-13 win over the Cowboys. He caught five of six targets for 39 yards.

Strong led the backfield in carries and out-targeted MarShawn Lloyd six to one. The Packers still couldn't run the ball effectively, but Josh Jacobs is due back from the Commissioner's Exempt list in time for next Sunday's game against the Lions, making all three of Strong, Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson waiver-wire material in fantasy moving forward. Strong has turned 16 carries into just 35 yards through two games, but he's secured eight of 10 targets for 50 yards.
