Mattison carried the ball 16 times for 31 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.

While his 17 touches topped Cam Akers' 10, it was the latter who punched in a six-yard TD late in the first quarter. Even if Mattison maintains his top spot in the Minnesota backfield, the upside of the whole offense suddenly looks a lot more questionable with Kirk Cousins having potentially suffered a season-ending Achilles injury Sunday. Mattison and Akers could be working with rookie QB Jalen Hall instead in Week 9 against the Falcons.

Robinson rushed the ball 11 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Titans. He was targeted five times but did not record a reception.

After receiving only one carry in Week 7 due to an illness, Robinson led the Atlanta backfield with 11 carries. Even with relatively limited opportunity, he made his mark on the game with a long gain of 25 yards as well as a touchdown run of 13 yards -- the first rushing score of his career. With the performance, Robinson topped 50 rushing yards for the second time in his last six games.

Robinson rushed 10 times for 59 yards and secured both targets for 20 yards in the Commanders' 38-31 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Robinson was highly effective as a runner and also recorded multiple catches for the fourth time in the last five contests. However, the second-year back's opportunities were limited as the game went on, capping Robinson's overall output. Robinson should be the beneficiary of a more favorable game script in a Week 9 road battle against the Patriots.

Hubbard carried the ball 15 times for 28 yards and caught both his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 15-13 win over the Texans.

While his numbers weren't impressive, Hubbard led the Panthers in rushing and was the clear top option in the backfield, as Miles Sanders gained zero total yards on just two carries. Hubbard's Week 6 performance against the Dolphins (90 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD) is still the best by any Carolina RB this season, which should give him an edge on retaining the starting job in Week 9 against the Colts.

Cook rushed twice for five yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.

After expressing frustration with his role during the week, Cook was once again used sparingly. Breece Hall was hardly better on the ground with 17 yards on 12 carries, but Hall had 76 yards and the Jets' lone touchdown as a pass catcher. Cook is averaging just 2.8 YPC, and only one of his nine catches this season has gone for a first down, so Cook hasn't done much to earn more touches at Hall's expense.

Mostert rushed 13 times for 46 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted in the passing game in the Dolphins' 31-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Mostert turned in a much less efficient effort than usual on the ground and was surprisingly uninvolved in the air attack. However, he posted a serviceable fantasy performance anyhow thanks to his one-yard touchdown rush midway through the third quarter. Mostert still comfortably paced the ground attack in carries despite Jeff Wilson seeing his rush attempts climb to five in his second game of the campaign, and the workload split between the two will bear monitoring in a Week 9 showdown against the Chiefs in Germany.

Stevenson rushed 10 times for 39 yards and secured two of four targets for 11 yards in the Patriots' 31-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Stevenson turned in some serviceable production relative to his amount of opportunities, but New England's ground game wasn't much of a priority as the second half unfolded and the Dolphins began to increase their lead. Stevenson outpaced backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott by three carries, yet neither back figures to have a chance for a true game-breaking performance as long as the passing game continues to mostly be inconsistent and the division of labor in the ground attack is similarly split.

Singletary carried the ball 10 times for 30 yards and caught both his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Panthers.

Dameon Pierce and Singletary each saw 12 touches on the day, and neither was able to reach 50 scrimmage yards despite a matchup with a Carolina defense that came into the game ranked 31st in rushing yards per game allowed. The struggles of the Texans' running game will make Singletary little more than a deep-league bye replacement heading into a Week 9 clash with the Buccaneers.

Pierce carried the ball 12 times for 46 yards in Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Panthers.

Despite a matchup with one of the league's weaker run defenses, Pierce failed to average at least 4.0 yards a carry for the seventh straight game this season. Devin Singletary saw an equivalent workload (10 carries and two receptions) and also did little with his opportunities, so the Houston backfield remains an unappealing mess from a fantasy perspective. Pierce will try to get something going in Week 9 against the Buccaneers.

Williams sustained a foot injury during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

With James Conner (knee) on injured reserve, Arizona has elevated Williams for three consecutive contests, but his touch count has wavered from nine Week 6 to one last Sunday and now three this week. Prior to Williams' departure, those looks translated to nine yards from scrimmage. Emari Demercado will remain the team's lead runner moving forward, with Keaontay Ingram in reserve.
