White rushed three times for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers.

White was limited to just seven offensive snaps Sunday, but his Week 4 performance was highlighted by an 11-yard run to move the chains late in the third quarter. He's now earned only nine total touches through the Raiders' first four games, and starter Josh Jacobs figures to remain a bell cow out of the backfield against the Packers in Week 5.

Vaughn rushed nine times for 16 yards and brought in his only target for three yards in the Buccaneers' 26-9 win over the Saints on Sunday.

The fourth-year running back was in on 21 offensive snaps while serving as the primary backup to Rachaad White for the first time this season as Vaughn worked ahead of rookie Sean Tucker, with the latter active but not logging any snaps. The Buccaneers have gotten very little production from any back this season, with even White averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, so a reevaluation of the depth chart might be in order during the team's Week 5 bye.

Vaughn carried the ball eight times for nine yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's rout of the Patriots.

While he didn't do much with the volume, this was still the most touches Vaughn has seen in an NFL game to date. The rookie's increased workload came as a result of an injury to Rico Dowdle (hip), so Vaughn could continue seeing a bigger role in the Dallas backfield behind starter Tony Pollard in Week 5 against the 49ers.

Carter rushed once for nine yards and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Carter's three touches tied a season-high mark that he has now reached in three of four games. Barring an injury to Breece Hall or Dalvin Cook, Carter will likely remain an afterthought in the Jets' offense, though he could supplant Cook as the No. 2 running back if the veteran continues to struggle. Cook has just 58 rushing yards on 23 carries (2.3 YPC), while Carter has 23 yards on four rushing attempts (5.8 YPC).

Ogunbowale was inactive for Sunday's Week 4 win against Pittsburgh.

Ogunbowale watched in street clothes for a second consecutive week and third time in four weeks. Mike Boone has assumed the No. 3 running back role for the Texans.

Boone had one carry for four yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Steelers.

Boone's first carry of the season came well into the fourth quarter with Houston up by three scores. His main role until Sunday has been as a kickoff returner, but Devin Singletary handled those chores in Week 4. Boone has been active for three of four games and played just 30 offensive snaps.

Strong carried five times for 49 yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens.

Strong was the Browns' unlikely rushing leader, fueled by a 40-yard scamper late in the fourth quarter. All of his touches came late in the game with Cleveland trailing by 25 points, after Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt came out of the blowout loss. The rushing attack clearly misses Nick Chubb (knee), but Strong isn't a solution. The Browns are off in Week 5.

Hunt had five carries for 12 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens.

Nothing went right for Cleveland's offense on the ground or through the air with starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) sidelined, and replaced by rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson. In Hunt's second game back with the Browns since signing in the wake of Nick Chubb's knee injury, he played 15 snaps, one more than in Week 3. Jerome Ford (43 snaps) maintains lead-back status as the Browns enter their bye week, although he won't replace Chubb. It's fair to question whether Hunt, who was still a free agent in September, has enough left in the tank to be any kind of threat to Ford's spot.

Ahmed did not handle a carry during Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Bills.

Ahmed, in his return from a groin injury that forced him to sit out Week 3, played just one offensive snap during Sunday's divisional loss and did not record a touch. Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane appear to have established themselves as the clear top options in Miami's backfield, so Ahmed will remain off the fantasy radar heading into the Dolphins' matchup against the Giants in Week 5.

Cook rushed five times for 16 yards while catching his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Kansas City.

Cook continues to split backfield duties with Breece Hall (6-56-0) despite the latter's superior play through nearly a quarter of the season. That likely has more to do with the team limiting Hall's reps after he tore his ACL last year. Cook is averaging an abysmal 2.5 yards per attempt with the Jets after never recording a mark below 4.4 YPC in any of his previous six seasons with Minnesota. The 28-year-old will have to get things going in short order or run the risk of losing playing time, or even his roster spot, as the Jets continue to look for answers on the offensive side of the ball ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Denver.
