  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Touchdown binge continues

    Walker had 17 carries for 79 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants.

    Walker's short touchdown run in the second quarter extended his scoring streak to three weeks, providing fantasy managers with 289 combined yards and a whopping five touchdowns over that period. The 22-year-old was not targeted as a receiver against the Giants, but he commanded 17 of the Seahawk's 22 running back carries in the primetime win. Walker will get an opportunity to rest from his scoring frenzy on Seattle's upcoming bye week, resuming play Week 6 at Cincinnati on Sunday, Oct. 15

  • Matt Breida RB | SF

    Giants' Matt Breida: Gets 19 touches in Week 4 loss

    Breida rushed 14 times for 30 yards and caught all five of his targets for 48 yards in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.

    Breida got a second consecutive start with Saquon Barkley (ankle) sidelined. He failed to find much running room behind a shaky offensive line that also allowed 11 sacks, but Breida led the Giants in receiving yards as Daniel Jones was repeatedly forced to check down. Barkley's hoping to return from his high-ankle sprain Week 5 against the Dolphins, but if the star running back sits again, Breida should continue to handle the lion's share of backfield touches.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Falls to wayside in loss

    Miller had one rush for three yards and hauled in his only target for five yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss versus Tampa Bay.

    Miller was limited to just five offensive snaps Sunday after he tallied 34 yards on nine carries during his NFL debut against Green Bay in Week 3. The rookie's role was replaced entirely by No. 1 running back Alvin Kamara, who made his season debut after serving a suspension for the first three games of the season. The 28-year-old Kamara shouldered almost the entire workload out of the backfield with 11 carries while also catching 13 of 14 targets. Meanwhile, hybrid tight end Taysom Hill totaled 10 yards on four carries while lined up at quarterback, and core special-teamer Tony Jones did not log a statistic on offense. New Orleans' offensive struggles likely affected the team's paltry number of total rushing attempts, but Miller's significant lack of usage likely indicates he won't figure much into the game plan when Kamara is available moving forward.

  • Derrick Gore RB | WAS

    Derrick Gore: Back to practice squad

    Gore reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.

    Gore was called up with Chris Rodriguez (illness) ruled out before Sunday's game against the Eagles. Gore played 25 snaps -- six offensive and 19 on special teams -- and had one assisted tackle on punt coverage

  • Royce Freeman RB | CHI

    Royce Freeman: Reverts to practice squad

    Freeman reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday.

    Freeman played all 12 of his snaps on special teams and recorded an assisted tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's overtime win over the Colts. Given this was his third callup from the practice squad, the Rams will have to sign Freeman to their active roster if they wish to play him for the rest of the season.

  • Dwayne Washington: Reverts to practice squad

    Washington reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday.

    Washington was called up ahead of Denver's win against Chicago and ended up playing seven snaps, all of which came on special teams. With Javonte Williams (hip) expected to miss some time, Washington could be in line to return to the active roster again.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Best all-around performance

    Spears recorded 40 yards on five carries in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals. He added three receptions for 18 yards.

    Spears tied for a career high with 33 offensive snaps in the Titans' blowout win. That helped him to his most productive performance as a pro and marked the second time he topped 50 total yards across four contests. Derrick Henry continues to lead the backfield, but Spears has shown the ability to be productive and has consistently seen between eight and 10 touches per game.

  • Melvin Gordon RB | BAL

    Ravens' Melvin Gordon: Returns to practice squad

    Gordon reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday.

    Gordon was elevated to the active roster for a second week in a row prior to Sunday's 28-3 win over the Browns, rushing for 21 yards on three carries while also reeling in his only target for a 23-yard reception. The running back could play again in Week 5 versus the Steelers, as he still has one more elevation before he'd need to be signed to the Ravens' 53-man roster.

  • Corey Clement RB | ARI

    Corey Clement: Back to practice squad

    Clement reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.

    Clement was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers, failing to record a stat while playing eight snaps on special teams. The running back will now await his next promotion while continuing to toil on the practice squad.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Dealing with hip injury

    Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Williams suffered a bruised hip during Sunday's overtime win in Indianapolis, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Williams put together the most productive performance of his career Week 4, accumulating 127 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs on 28 touches. He also emerged from the contest with a health concern, which may result in some limitations in practice this week. Williams' status thus bears monitoring ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Eagles on Sunday.
