Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Elite production against top defense
Gibbs rushed 23 times for 153 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for 15 yards in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Gibbs and the Lions started relatively slowly against the Vikings' aggressive defense, netting just six first-half points. However, Gibbs continued to plug away against Minnesota's talented front, and he eventually began breaking through for multiple productive runs. Gibbs warmed up for a big second half with a 19-yard scamper just before halftime, and he went on to add a game-long 30-yard run for his one touchdown in the latter portion of the third quarter. Gibbs then helped seal the victory with scampers of 17, nine and nine yards on Detroit's next-to-last drive, as well as his final 28 rushing yards of the day on the final possession. The star back ultimately finished with his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season and third of greater than 150 yards, affording him massive momentum heading into a favorable Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Gets two carries to Washington's 25
Jeanty rushed twice for nine yards while catching three of four targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.
Jeanty ceded the vast majority of rushing opportunities to Mike Washington, who rushed 25 times for 83 yards. Most of Jeanty's yardage came on a 45-yard catch on the first play of the fourth quarter. Jeanty has excelled as a pass catcher, and he now has more receiving yards (376) than rushing yards (337) this season. Per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, head coach Klint Kubiak said after the win that Jeanty getting just two carries was "my call" and added that Jeanty is "still going to be a big part of our team" heading into the Raiders' Week 9 road game against the 49ers. Jeanty added that it was "communicated" to him before the game that he would get fewer carries but stressed that winning is more important to him than his workload.

Jeremiyah Love RB | ARI
Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Not returning to Sunday's contest
Love (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys to begin the second half, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Love had sat out the Cardinals' prior two contests due to a left ankle injury, but he appeared to tweak the opposite ankle on a carry late in the first quarter of Sunday's game. After a brief visit to the medical tent on the Arizona sideline, Love retreated to the locker room, where he remained to begin the third quarter before the Cardinals ruled him out. Prior to his departure, Love carried nine times for 23 yards and didn't draw any targets. His status will warrant monitoring leading up to the Cardinals' Week 9 game against the Seahawks on Nov. 8.

Lions' Jacob Saylors: Uncertain to return Sunday
Saylors (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Saylors has been dealing with the neck injury, so he might have aggravated the issue. The 26-year-old has primarily been utilized as a member of special teams during the 2026 campaign. If Saylors can't get back on the field, Sione Vaki could see more action as a return man.
