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.

Tuten carried the ball 12 times for 39 yards and caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans.

While the Houston front seven kept him bottled up on the ground -- Tuten's longest run went for just five yards -- the second-year RB made an impact through the air, turning a dump pass from Trevor Lawrence into a 27-yard score in the second quarter before catching another two-yard TD before halftime. The receiving touchdowns were his first of the season and tied his total from all of 2025, and Tuten topped 80 scrimmage yards for the fourth straight game. The Jaguars will get a bye before facing the Colts in Week 8.

Marks carried the ball 15 times for 56 yards and caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars.

With David Montgomery (groin) inactive, Marks led the Texans backfield in touches and scrimmage yards, but practice-squad elevation Jawhar Jordan arguably made a bigger splash with 43 rushing yards and a touchdown on just six carries. Jordan showed some upside late last season when pressed into duty as well, so even if Montgomery's absence continues, Marks could see his workload shrink. Marks will take on the Giants in Week 7.

Stevenson will be joined by TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) in the backfield Sunday against the Jets, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

After Henderson suffered a right high-ankle sprain last Sunday versus the Raiders, Stevenson had a chance to take on a large workload in the short term, but with the former active, it's unclear if that's a possibility in Week 6. Any number of scenarios are possible for Henderson, from him taking on his normal number of touches to being available in an emergency capacity. Stevenson should be safe for roughly his typical 14.4 touches per game, which so far has amounted to 338 yards from scrimmage and two TDs in five contests this season.
