Corum rushed 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for eight yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Corum led the Rams in rush attempts and was a close runner-up to Kyren Williams in rushing yards. Corum, like Williams, crossed the goal line as well, recording a four-yard touchdown run with 6:34 remaining in the fourth quarter. Corum's carry and yardage totals were also season highs, but given he'd logged single-digit rush attempts in each of the prior four games, he's more likely than not to continue operating in a clear complementary role behind Williams on most weeks.

Washington rushed six times for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.

Despite dealing with foot and back injuries throughout the practice week, Washington played against Los Angeles and handled his normal workload behind starter Ashton Jeanty. Even though Jeanty again handled more carries, Washington ended up leading the team in rushing yards on a day the Raiders ran for just 48 yards. Washington is pushing Jeanty for more rushing work, but it's not enough at this point to warrant starting the rookie running back in fantasy.

Gibbs carried the ball 29 times for 116 yards and caught five of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Green Bay.

For the first time this season, Gibbs failed to get into the end zone, but he made up for it by delivering more than 100 scrimmage yards for the fifth time in six games. The fourth-year back continues to handle a massive workload, averaging 27.7 touches a game, but Gibbs has earned it by leading the NFL in scrimmage TDs with nine, and staying neck-and-neck with Bijan Robinson for the lead in scrimmage yards. Gibbs faces his toughest test yet in 2026 against a dominant Vikings defense in Week 8.

Tyus rushed three times for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Bucs.

With Carolina getting smeared on the scoreboard late in the game, the Panthers pulled their starters, and Tyus got some run on offense. He scored a 12-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Tyus isn't even remotely on the fantasy radar while Chuba Hubbard is healthy.

Tucker rushed seven times for 52 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-13 win against Carolina.

Tucker was able to see an increase in touches for a third straight week, and as a result, he recorded a season-high 52 rushing yards. The running back's biggest moment of the game came in the fourth quarter when he broke loose for a 46-yard rushing touchdown. Bucky Irving (24) and Kenny Gainwell (14) still had more carries than Tucker in Week 7, and he'll remain third in the pecking order at running back ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup with Atlanta.

Knight accrued seven carries for 48 yards and reeled in three of five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 30-16 defeat to the Broncos.

With Jeremiyah Love (ankle) sidelined for a second consecutive contest, Tyler Allgeier and Knight again were tasked with manning the Cardinals backfield. Allgeier earned 11 touches to Knight's 10 on Sunday, but the latter out-gained him by 14 yards from scrimmage (63 vs. 49). It was the second week in a row in which Knight churned out more yardage than Allgeier on fewer touches, and even if Love is able to return in Week 8 at Dallas, Knight could begin to put himself in position for regular snaps moving forward, if he hasn't already.

Perine rushed four times for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Ravens.

The running back wasn't targeted in the passing game, but Perine notably subbed in for Chase Brown at the goal line to punch in a one-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. It's become apparent that the coaches are trusting Perine more, and it's having an effect on Brown's production. Perine is up to 31 carries for 126 yards (4.1 YPC) and one touchdown through six games this season.

Lloyd tallied six carries for 20 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss in Detroit.

The Packers got top RB Josh Jacobs back in the lineup for the first time this season after he spent the first six contests on the commissioner's exempt list. However, he wasn't able to provide a jolt to a moribund ground game, as the team averaged just 3.2 YPC on its 19 rushes. On a positive note for Lloyd, though, he was the only Green Bay running back other than Jacobs to earn a touch, as an active Pierre Strong did not, and Kaleb Johnson (coach's decision) was a healthy scratch. Lloyd appears set to serve as the team's No. 2 backfield option moving forward, which should provide him regular reps with which to work behind Jacobs.

Jeanty rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in all eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

The Rams stonewalled Jeanty on the ground, but the 2025 first-round pick was highly effective as a receiver. Jeanty led the Raiders in receptions and tied for second in targets, and his 15-yard grab came when the running back ran past Kamren Curl down the right sideline early in the fourth quarter. Jeanty has been under 30 rushing yards in three straight games, but he's up to a 34-312-3 receiving line on 44 targets going into a Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Williams rushed 16 times for 99 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 22 yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Williams logged one fewer carry than Blake Corum but outgained his teammate by six yards, and although the former's lost fumble came at the Rams' 30-yard line, it didn't lead to any Raiders points. Williams scored his fifth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a 17-yard run late in the first half, and he fell a yard short of his first 100-yard effort of the season. Despite the division of labor in a game that yielded a run-friendly game script, Williams will remain the clear lead runner in a Week 8 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.
