  • Damien Harris RB | BUF

    Bills' Damien Harris: Leaves game in ambulance

    Harris was stretchered off the field and loaded into an ambulance in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Giants, Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com reports.

    Harris remained down on the field at the end of a one-yard run. The nature of his injury wasn't immediately clarified, but the running back will be taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. Harris gave a thumbs-up as he was being loaded onto the stretcher.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Eagles' D'Andre Swift: Scores receiving TD

    Swift had 10 carries for 18 yards while adding eight receptions on 10 targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Jets.

    Swift was stymied by New York's beefy front on his team-high 10 carries Sunday, but his busy work as a receiver helped offset his shortcomings on the ground. It was the 24-year-old's third touchdown of the season and first via a reception through six games with his new club. Swift had just nine receptions (11 targets) in Philadelphia's first four games before rattling off 14 catches over the last two weeks. The recent influx in targets only boosts Swift's fantasy value heading into next week's game against Miami on Sunday Night Football.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Strong showing as lead back

    Hubbard carried the ball 19 times for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Dolphins. He added one reception for two yards.

    Hubbard accounted for 19 of Carolina's 25 rushing attempts in the absence of Miles Sanders (shoulder). He delivered consistent gains to keep the offense on schedule and also sprinkled in a long gain of 17 yards as well as a six-yard touchdown run. Hubbard was curiously disregarded as a receiver -- he had multiple targets in every game leading up to Sunday's matchup -- though his rushing volume left little to complain about. Carolina will head into a Week 7 bye, but there's at least a possibility that Hubbard will have the chance to lead the backfield again in a Week 8 matchup against Houston.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Limited to 62 total yards

    Mixon rushed 12 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over Seattle. He added three receptions on four targets for 24 yards.

    Despite leading for nearly the entire game, the Bengals ran only 53 offensive plays. Mixon in particular felt the effects of that depressed volume, as he saw a season-low 12 carries. He salvaged his day a bit with work as a pass catcher, as his 24 yards were his second-best mark of the campaign. Through six games, Mixon has yet to surpass 100 total yards in any contest and has topped 70 rushing yards just once.

  • Bears' Darrynton Evans: Busy in season debut

    Evans rushed nine times for 32 yards and added a two-yard reception in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Until the fourth quarter, Evans had split the backfield touches almost evenly with D'Onta Foreman. By the end of the game, Foreman had more work and was the more effective back. It's unclear if Evans will retain a role in the offense when Roschon Johnson (concussion) returns to the lineup.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Scores go-ahead TD late

    Hall rushed 12 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while catching all five of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.

    Running room was hard to come by against Philadelphia's stout front, but Hall stayed involved in the offense as a pass catcher out of the backfield, notching the second-most receiving yards of his young career while recording at least five catches for the first time since Week 3 of his rookie season in 2022. After New York's defense returned Jalen Hurts' third interception of the game to the eight-yard line, Hall scored an eight-yard rushing touchdown on the next play to put the Jets ahead 20-14 with 1:46 remaining in the fourth quarter. With 42 touches in the past two games, Hall has reclaimed the lead role in New York's backfield after being brought along slowly to start the season, and he'll be fresh for a heavy workload in Week 8 against the Giants after the Jets' Week 7 bye.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Tallies 89 total yards

    Walker rushed 19 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals. He added three receptions for 27 yards.

    Walker had an excellent opening drive for Seattle, accounting for 34 total yards while also scoring a touchdown. He found running room more difficult to find after that, though his strong involvement as a receiver covered up some of his inefficiency on the ground. Walker has now found the end zone in four consecutive games and has six total touchdowns across five contests. He should find more room to roam in a Week 7 matchup against Arizona and will look to record his first 100-yard rushing game of the season.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Limited to three touches Sunday

    Demercado rushed twice for 11 yards and secured his only target for six yards in the Cardinals' 26-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    The rookie was expected to share the majority of the backfield work with Keaontay Ingram in the Cardinals' first game without James Conner (IR-knee), but Demercado saw veteran Damien Williams fill that role while logging eight carries and recording a catch on his only target. Ingram and Williams combined for a solid 76 yards on 18 carries and an additional 19 yards on three receptions, so it's likely the pecking order in the ground attack remains the same for a tough Week 7 road matchup against the Seahawks' considerably improved run defense.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Career-high rushing yardage in win

    Williams (ankle) rushed 20 times for 158 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-9 victory against the Cardinals.

    It was a tale of two halves for the Rams' lead back, as Williams had only two rushes for four yards after two quarters of action. The Rams came out in the third quarter and flipped the script, rushing the ball nine straight times, with Williams accounting for 52 yards on that drive alone. From there, Williams showed off his explosiveness with a pair of lengthy rushes for 27 and 31 yards, respectively, and capped it off with a five-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to put an exclamation point on an exceptional day, his second in three weeks with over 100 yards on the ground. Williams did pick up an ankle injury near the end of the game, but coach Sean McVay told Bridget Condon of NFL Network afterward that "I think he's going to be good. Just got his ankle tweaked at the end." It'll be something that fantasy managers should still keep an eye on with backup Ronnie Rivers (knee) also exiting the contest.

  • Cardinals' Keaontay Ingram: Solid in lead back role

    Ingram rushed 10 times for 40 yards and brought in both targets for 11 yards in the Cardinals' 26-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Ingram got first crack at the No. 1 running back job with James Conner (IR-knee) sidelined and put together a respectable performance on a per-touch basis. The second-year back logged only two more carries than Damien Williams, however, and the latter was actually more efficient by averaging 4.5 yards per tote. Ingram should have a very good chance of retaining a solid role for a Week 7 road matchup against the Seahawks, although Seattle's run defense has been stingy over the first six games of the season.
