Redskins' Josh Ferguson: Rushes for nine yards
Josh Ferguson rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Eagles.Ferguson was the only other Washington Redskins running back besides Adrian Peterson to receive a carry, but the latter dominated the backfield touches with 16 totes for 66 yards and a touchdown.

Texans' Josh Ferguson: Looks to carve out backup role
Josh Ferguson is competing for backup slotting behind top back Lamar Miller following the release of D'Onta Foreman, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.With Foreman no longer in the mix, there's a wide open competition for depth chart positioning behind Miller. Per Wilson, "Ferguson has displayed flashes as a third-down back adept at catching passes." Additionally, Ferguson's training camp effort has been praised by coach Bill O'Brien, and if the 5-foot-10, 205-pound back continues to shine, he could carve out enough of a change-of-pace role to merit deep-league PPR attention.

Texans' Josh Ferguson: Impressing coaching staff
Coach Bill O'Brien said Wednesday that Josh Ferguson is the top candidate for the team's third running-back job, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.Lamar Miller and D'Onta Foreman rank as the clear top two options on the depth chart, but Ferguson's pass-catching skills and ability to contribute on special teams apparently give him an early edge on the likes of holdover Buddy Howell (hamstring), free-agent pickup Taiwan Jones and undrafted rookies Karan Higdon and Damarea Crockett. The 25-year-old Ferguson didn't see any action in the NFL in 2018, but he nonetheless possesses a good feel for the Houston offense after spending time on the Houston Texans' practice squad.
