Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Four total TDs in record win
Mostert rushed 13 times for 82 yards and three touchdowns and secured all seven targets for 60 yards and another score in the Dolphins' 70-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Mostert was actually outshined statistically by rookie backup De'Von Achane as the Dolphins compiled a team-record point total, but not before turning in a career-best four-touchdown performance. The veteran back found the end zone on the ground from 20, three and one yard out before adding a 19-yard scoring reception late in the third quarter during which he made multiple nifty cutbacks on the left side of the field on his way to the goal line. Achane ended up eclipsing the 200-yard mark and scored four times in his own right, but Mostert projects to continue as the lead back in a Week 4 divisional road showdown against the Bills next Sunday.

Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI
Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Back-to-back duds
Allgeier rushed seven times for 12 yards and caught two of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 20-6 loss versus Detroit.
Allgeier stood out in Week 1 with two touchdowns, but he's submitted mediocre production in back-to-back games since then. In Week 2, he saw 16 rushing attempts, so there was still optimism about his fantasy outlook even though he didn't find the end zone. However, he saw his rushing attempts cut by more than half versus Detroit, as the Falcons surprisingly leaned on the pass. It's encouraging that Allgeier was still involved in the offense even though Atlanta mostly abandoned the run, but it appears he may be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option moving forward.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Titans' Derrick Henry: Held to 20 yards
Henry rushed 11 times for 20 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Browns.
Henry was held to minus-7 yards on four first-half rushing attempts, then saw limited work in the second half as the Titans mustered just three points against the stout Browns defense. The star running back will look to bounce back in Week 4, when the Titans return home to host the Bengals. Cleveland has allowed only one offensive touchdown through three games, so this poor performance can largely be chalked up to a difficult matchup, though Tennessee's poor offensive line play so far this season suggests not much will come easy for Henry in 2023.

Bijan Robinson RB | ATL
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Contained by Detroit
Robinson rushed 10 times for 33 yards and caught four of six targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 20-6 loss to Detroit.
After a breakout Week 2, Robinson was held in check by the Lions. The rookie has finished with at least 10 rushing attempts and six targets in each game thus far, and fantasy managers can expect similar usage moving forward. Surprisingly, Atlanta abandoned the run versus Detroit, as Tyler Allgeier finished second on the team in rushing attempts with only seven. It's a little disappointing Robinson wasn't utilized more in the passing attack, but that could be credited to the Lions' defensive scheme. Robinson remains a strong fantasy asset given his game-breaking ability, but it'll be difficult for him to put up top-tier production on a weekly basis with less than 15 touches per game.

Gus Edwards RB | LAC
Ravens' Gus Edwards: Evaluated for concussion
Edwards is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Colts.
Prior to his exit from the contest, Edwards carried 11 times for 51 yards. In his absence, Melvin Gordon and Kenyan Drake are available to handle Baltimore's backfield duties, with Justice Hill (foot) inactive Sunday.
-
D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE
Bears' D'Onta Foreman: Healthy inactive again in Week 3
Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs.
The offseason addition will thus be relegated to healthy scratch status for the second consecutive game as rookie Roschon Johnson and change-of-pace back Travis Homer slot in behind Khalil Herbert. The extent of Foreman's regular-season action in a Bears uniform thus far is the 21 snaps he logged in the season-opening loss to the Packers, and his next opportunity to suit up comes in a Week 4 home battle against the Broncos next Sunday.
-
Isiah Pacheco RB | DET
Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Active versus Chicago
Pacheco (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
After missing Wednesday's practice, Pacheco logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday, and he'll give it a go Sunday. In the absence of any in-game setbacks, Pacheco should continue to pace the Chiefs' backfield in Week 3, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon available to handle complementary/change-of-pace work. Through the first two games of the season, Pacheco has recorded 20 carries for 93 yards and a TD and has caught five of his six targets for 31 yards. In that span, Edwards-Helaire and McKinnon have combined for eight carries and seven catches.

DeeJay Dallas RB | MIN
Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Will play Sunday
Dallas (illness) is active Sunday against the Panthers.
Dallas popped up on the injury report Friday but he feels well enough to take the field Sunday. The fourth-year pro hasn't been involved much on offense, but he should continue being the team's No. 1 return man.

Julius Chestnut RB | TEN
Titans' Julius Chestnut: Will not return
Chestnut (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Chestnut went to the locker with the help of trainers after suffering the injury and was unable to put any pressure on his left leg. His absence will leave the Titans with just Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears at running back for the remainder of the game.

AJ Dillon RB | CAR
Packers' AJ Dillon: Likely to replace Jones again
Dillon is expected to serve as the Packers' lead back in Sunday's game against the Saints with Aaron Jones (hamstring) inactive for the second contest in a row, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Jones closed Week 3 prep with two straight limited practices and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but he ultimately didn't make enough progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury he sustained in the season-opening win over the Bears to gain clearance to play. As a result, Dillon should be in line for another starting nod, with Emanuel Wilson and Patrick Taylor available as depth options behind him. In the Packers' Week 2 loss to Atlanta while Jones was sidelined, Dillon played 68 percent of the offensive snaps and carried 15 times for 55 yards to go with an eight-yard reception on his lone target.
