Allgeier rushed 21 times for 59 yards and caught all three of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Buccaneers.

Bijan Robinson (illness) got just one touch, as the standout rookie didn't feel well, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. With Robinson out of the game plan, Allgeier tied his career high with 24 touches. A 46-yard catch bolstered Allgeier's stat line, but the second-year running back averaged just 2.9 yards on his other 23 touches, while Cordarrelle Patterson rushed for 56 yards on just 10 carries. If Robinson returns to his usual lead role in Week 8 against the Titans, Allgeier will likely see a decline in volume.

Jones rushed eight times for 35 yards and caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Broncos.

Jones returned from his hamstring injury but seemed to be on a snap count, as teammate AJ Dillon still led the Packers with 15 carries for 61 yards. With Jones being decently efficient when called upon, though, he'll strive to increase his involvement and overall output in Week 8 versus the Vikings.

Harris rushed 14 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and secured all three of his targets for 15 yards in the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Rams on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Pittsburgh.

Harris' three-yard touchdown run just past the midway point of the fourth quarter was his first of the season, and he was able to get over the 50-yard mark on the ground for the third time in the last four games. Harris was less efficient than backfield mate Jaylen Warren, who also scored a touchdown, but the former still outpaced the latter by eight carries. Consequently, Harris appears to remain in firm possession of the lead-back role heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Jaguars.

Penny (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest with the Dolphins.

Penny will once again be a healthy scratch in Week 7 versus Miami. The Eagles will ride with D'Andre Swift, Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott as their active running backs.

Barkley carried the ball 21 times for 77 yards and caught three of four targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Commanders.

He topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time this season, and Barkley produced the game's biggest play when he caught a short pass from a scrambling Tyrod Taylor and took it 32 yards for the Giants' second TD of the day. Barkley appears fully recovered from the ankle injury that cost him three weeks, and whether quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) is able to return in Week 8 or not, the running back should be the focal point of the Giants' offense against the Jets.

Murray rushed four times for eight yards and caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to New England.

Murray's role didn't change much in the absence of Damien Harris (neck/concussion), as James Cook continued to dominate touches in Buffalo's backfield. Cook had 102 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 16 touches while Murray was limited to single-digit touches for the sixth time in seven games. Murray is expected to work as Cook's backup again when the Buccaneers come to town Thursday.

Rodriguez carried the ball seven times for 31 yards in Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants.

The Commanders' offense was stagnant for most of the day, so the rookie running back got a chance to add a spark in the second half. Rodriguez wound up leading the team in rushing, but his longest gain went for only nine yards. Despite his modest success, his spot on the depth chart behind Robinson and Antonio Gibson doesn't appear likely to change in Week 8 against a tough Eagles run defense.

Robinson carried the ball eight times for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants.

He also failed to catch his only target. Robinson accounted for the Commanders' only points on the afternoon with a four-yard TD plunge in the fourth quarter, but his longest run went for only six yards, and he was surprisingly out-gained by rookie Chris Rodriguez. Robinson's spot at the top of the depth chart may not be in any immediate danger, but he's been held below 50 rushing yards in four straight contests and is averaging below 4.0 yards per carry for the second straight campaign. Washington's entire running game will face a tough test in Week 8 against the Eagles.

Elliott rushed 11 times for 31 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 29-25 win over the Bills.

Elliott gave the Patriots a 10-0 first-quarter lead with a two-yard rushing touchdown. It was the 70th rushing touchdown of Elliott's career, and his second touchdown in the last two games after the veteran running back opened his tenure in New England with a five-game touchdown drought. Over the past three games, Elliott has 26 carries to Rhamondre Stevenson's 27, but the former Dallas running back remains a non-factor in the passing game. Elliott has just 59 receiving yards on the season heading into a Week 8 road game in Miami.

Taylor rushed the ball 18 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Browns. He added three receptions on four targets for 45 yards.

Taylor split carries with Zack Moss evenly, similar to the workload split in Week 6. While that's a disappointing outcome for Taylor, his performance was excellent. His longest gain on the ground went for 24 yards, and he also chipped in lengthy gains of 20 and 19 yards as a receiver. Taylor supplemented his yardage total with a five-yard touchdown run to record his first score of the season. The ongoing backfield split will keep Taylor's potential tempered, but he appears to have regained his explosiveness and efficiency.
