Warren rushed six times for 32 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for minus-1 yard in the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Warren put together a typically efficient performance while recording his first touchdown of the campaign on a 13-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter. The OSU product wasn't able to contribute in the passing game as usual, but he remains a very effective complementary option to Najee Harris heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Jaguars.

Reynolds recorded three carries for 16 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens. He added one catch for nine yards.

The Lions backfield was in flux heading into Sunday's matchup, though Reynolds ultimately ended up as the second back behind Jahmyr Gubbs with David Montgomery (ribs) sidelined. His role was limited even so, as Detroit was willing to get Gibbs heavily involved as both a rusher and receiver. Reynolds will return to primarily a special teams role once Montgomery can retake the field.

Hill rushed the ball four times for 46 yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Lions. He added one reception for two yards.

Hill accounted for only four of the 18 rushing attempts by Baltimore's running backs, and he worked as the clear backup to Gus Edwards. That could be in part due to game script, as the Ravens played from ahead for the entire matchup. Hill did make the most of his chances, tallying the team's fourth-longest play from scrimmage with a 27-yard run midway through the second quarter. Hill has now topped 40 rushing yards just twice in six games on the campaign.

Edwards rushed the ball 14 times for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Lions. He added one reception on one target for 80 yards.

Edwards handled nearly all of the work out of Baltimore's backfield, accounting for 14 of 18 carries by the team's running backs. He did well with the opportunity, tallying a long gain of 20 yards while also finding the end zone from two yards away. Edwards capped his performance with an 80-yard catch-and-run midway through the third quarter. His production as a pass catcher shouldn't be counted on given that he has only four targets in seven games this season, but he has a role near the goal line and is a threat to score on a weekly basis.

Hunt rushed the ball 10 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts. He did not record a reception on one target.

Hunt spent most of the game as the complementary option to Jerome Ford (ankle), the latter of whom exited the game early in the fourth quarter. Hunt saw only two carries thereafter, one of which went for the game-winning touchdown. Ford was spotted with a boot on his right ankle after the game, meaning it's possible that Hunt will lead the backfield for a Week 8 matchup against the Seahawks. Even if that's the case, he's shown little efficiency with his work to this point by averaging only 3.2 yards per carry on 32 attempts this season.

Homer failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Even with the Bears playing without Khalil Herbert (IR, ankle) and Roschon Johnson (concussion), Homer played behind Darrynton Evans for change-of-pace duties. It seems likely Homer will contribute on special teams more than he will on offense, as he's yet to have an offensive touch in six games played.

Freeman carried the ball 12 times for 66 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

Freeman played behind Darrell Henderson, but the two were the only backs to see touches in the Rams' new-look backfield. Freeman picked up double-digit yards on two of his carries and added an additional pair of nine-yard gains. Even in a complementary role, Freeman should have some fantasy relevance for at least the next three games while Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) are sidelined.

Strong rushed eight times for 25 yards and returned two kickoffs for 46 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts in Week 7.

Strong recorded a season high in carries, with five of his runs coming after Jerome Ford left the game early in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. Ford's situation bears monitoring during preparations for Week 8's road game in Seattle. If Ford is limited or unavailable, Kareem Hunt figures to fill in as the primary back while Strong would be in position for greater-than-normal usage.

Kelley tallied seven carries for 75 yards and a touchdown in the 31-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Kelley's 49-yard run was the longest of his career, and it helped the Chargers keep pace with an explosive Chiefs offense throughout the first half. That completely changed in the second half as Kelley and Austin Ekeler, who had 14 carries for 45 yards, could do very little. Expect the fourth-year back to get a bit more work against a vulnerable Bears defense next week.

Henderson rushed the ball 18 times for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers. He added one reception for five yards.

Henderson was the first back to get a carry in the Rams' backfield, and he led Royce Freeman in touches 19-12. His longest gain of the day went for 15 yards, and he also found the end zone midway through the fourth quarter on a one-yard plunge. With both Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) on injured reserve, Henderson should have the chance to maintain significant volume for at least the next three games.
