Harris recorded eight rushes for 32 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Eagles. He added six receptions on six targets for 26 yards.

Harris failed to reach double-digit rushing attempts for the first time this season, primarily because the Steelers were trailing for nearly the entire game. Instead, Harris did see a season-high six targets -- he caught all of them -- and managed his highest receiving yardage total since Week 2. While Jaylen Warren carried the ball six times, a significant amount of that work came in garbage time, and Harris remains the clear lead back in Pittsburgh. Nevertheless, he has yet to reach 80 rushing or 100 total yards in a game this season.

Moss is active for Sunday night's game against the Packers.

Moss was inactive for the Bills' Week 6 win over Kansas City, but he'll be in uniform versus Green Bay, along with fellow running backs Devin Singletary, James Cook and Taiwan Jones. In that context, Moss isn't a high-percentage fantasy lineup option given that he's logged limited touches in the last two contests he's suited up for.

Mattison rushed five times for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 34-26 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

The accomplished backup made excellent use of his scant opportunity, ripping off a 15-yard gain on one of his five carries and contributing a seven-yard touchdown run on another tote. Mattison's score was his second on the ground this season, and the five touches on the ground were a welcome sight after he'd logged a season-low one against the Dolphins back in Week 6 prior to the bye.

Benjamin rushed nine times for 22 yards and secured four of seven targets for 23 yards in the Cardinals' 34-26 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Benjamin found very tough sledding on the ground while once again helming the Cardinals backfield in the absence of James Conner (ribs). The modest rushing yardage total was particularly disappointing following his 92-yard tally against the Saints in Week 7, but Benjamin at least was able to provide solid production through the air. Benjamin could return to a backup role in a Week 9 home divisional clash against the Seahawks if Conner is able to return to action without limitations.

Allgeier rushed 14 times for 39 yards while securing all three of his targets for 46 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Panthers.

Allgeier was inefficient on the ground and took a backseat to Caleb Huntley, who finished with 16 rushes for 91 yards -- both team highs. However, the rookie fifth-round pick salvaged his fantasy production by doing damage through the air. Allgeier's three receptions marked his first career game with multiple catches, and his 25-yard receiving touchdown was his second career score. Allgeier could see a reduced role when Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) returns from IR, which could be as soon as Week 9, but Allgeier figures to still be involved in Arthur Smith's run-first offense as long as he continues to churn out yards.

Williams rushed 10 times for 53 yards and two touchdowns and secured all three targets for 23 yards in the Lions' 31-27 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Despite the return of D'Andre Swift from a three-game absence due to shoulder and ankle injuries, Williams still led the Lions' backfield in carries, doubling up his teammate in that category. It was also Williams who saw a pair of red-zone rushing opportunities he parlayed into touchdowns, with the versatile veteran going in from seven yards and one yard out in the first and second quarter, respectively. The fact he also had a solid role in the passing game made it a rewarding all-around afternoon for Williams despite a complementary role, and he'll look to make a big impact in a Week 9 home showdown against his former Packers squad.

Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 131 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 49-29 win over the Bears. He added one reception for 16 yards.

Pollard got the opportunity to serve as the Cowboys' lead back with Ezekiel Elliott (knee) sidelined, and he took full advantage. His three scores came from 18, seven and 54 yards, and he also added an explosive play as a pass catcher. While Pollard won't continue to see heavy usage as consistently once Elliott is able to return, he does have double-digit carries in three consecutive games. Even while sharing the backfield, Pollard has topped 80 rushing yards in four of eight contests on the campaign.

Mostert rushed 14 times for 64 yards, brought in his only target for three yards and returned one kickoff for 13 yards in the Dolphins' 31-27 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Mostert put together an efficient effort on the ground that saw him average 4.6 yards per tote, and the fact his long gain was just 13 yards underscores the fact he consistently churned out solid gains. However, the veteran back was less involved in the passing game than might have been expected following a season-high four-catch tally in Week 7, and his rushing opportunities may have been somewhat capped by the Dolphins falling into an early 14-0 hole they eventually crawled out of. Mostert does have at least 64 rush yards in four of the last five games, however, a favorable trend he'll hope to extend against the Bears' vulnerable run defense in a Week 9 road matchup.

Swift (ankle/shoulder) rushed five times for six yards and secured all five targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 31-27 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Swift had a minimal role on the ground as his line clearly indicates, but he did partly make up for it with a solid performance through the air that included a seven-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. The third-year back was at least able to make it through the game without any aggravation of either of his previously nagging injuries, and his catch total was a season high. Swift will hope for more work on the ground when the Lions face off with the Packers in a divisional clash at home in Week 9.

Harris had 11 carries for 37 yards and caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.

Harris was the clear No. 2 running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson, who compiled 143 scrimmage yards on 16 carries and eight targets. Stevenson has been significantly more explosive on the ground recently in addition to contributing much more in the passing game, so Harris is having trouble carving out a valuable role in a low-ceiling New England offense. Harris and the Patriots will face the Colts in Week 9.
