Jackson had two carries for three yards in Sunday's loss at Tennessee.

Jackson played just five snaps on offense as he's moved back to a deep reserve role with both Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) returning from injury. Jackson had 29 total touches for 222 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in two games with Taylor out, so he still could have fantasy value if pressed into a larger role. However, Jackson may get few touches on offense with both Taylor and Hines healthy.

Coach Doug Pederson revealed Monday that Robinson has been dealing with knee soreness, J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Robinson wasn't on the injury report heading into Jacksonville's 23-17 Week 7 loss to the Giants, but he didn't get a carry and was targeted only once. The lack of usage can be traced back to discomfort in his knee, though it's unclear how much this issue is expected to hamper Robinson moving forward. Robinson's practice participation will be worth monitoring heading into a Week 8 visit from the Broncos.

Carter is poised to step in as the Jets' lead back beginning with Sunday's game against the Patriots after tests confirmed that Breece Hall (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear and minor meniscus injury in New York's Week 7 win over Denver, Adam Schefter and Rich Cimini of ESPN report.

Carter had been seeing around 10 touches per game as a complement to Hall through the first seven weeks, but the second-year running back out of North Carolina likely will handle 15-plus touches on a regular basis moving forward as the top backfield option in a run-heavy Jets offense. Ty Johnson also should see an increase in playing time while he likely moves up to the No. 2 role out of the backfield as a result of Hall's injury, but Carter's ability to play in all situations should allow him to take on most of the vacated snaps.

Hall (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL and minor meniscus injury to his left knee during Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hall's impressive rookie season came to an early end in the second quarter of the Week 7 contest, and his absence is a brutal loss for the Jets, who with a 5-2 record now have to proceed forward without the offense's most explosive playmaker. Through seven contests, the 2022 second-round pick amassed 463 rushing yards on 80 attempts (5.8 YPC) with four touchdowns, in addition to securing 19 of 31 targets for 218 yards and another score. As Hall sets his sights on rehabbing from surgery ahead of the 2023 campaign, Michael Carter looks like the favorite to step in as New York's lead backfield option, with Ty Johnson ticketed for the No. 2 role.

Warren rushed twice for seven yards while securing both of his targets for 17 yards during the Steelers' 16-10 loss to Miami on Sunday.

Warren was on the field for just 23 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest mark since Week 3. He was unable to do much with his limited touches and was held under 25 yards from scrimmage for a second consecutive week. As long as Najee Harris remains healthy, Warren is unlikely to be a very fantasy-relevant option.

Davis-Price rushed twice for four yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in Sunday's 44-23 loss to Kansas City.

Davis-Price essentially was a healthy scratch in his return from an ankle injury last week, so Sunday's brief action actually was an increase in playing time. The third-round pick from this year's draft has not played well as a backup through seven weeks, posting a meager 2.3 YPC on 16 rushing attempts. The addition of Christian McCaffrey pushes Davis-Price even further down the depth chart, making the rookie a non-factor heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Rams.

Williams rushed once for four yards and failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Bengals. He also returned two punts for 64 yards.

Williams saw his smallest offensive role of the season as Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley once again dominated the running back snaps in Cordarrelle Patterson's (knee) absence. However, Williams did make an impact on special teams by recording a 56-yard punt return at the end of the first half that setup a last-second, 43-yard field goal from Younghoe Koo.

Abdullah caught two passes on as many targets for seven yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans. He also returned one kickoff for 17 yards.

Abdullah played more than one offensive snap for the first time since Week 2, but he handled just two touches while starter Josh Jacobs racked up 155 total yards and three scores. Meanwhile, Brandon Bolden only saw the field on special teams. Abdullah's role in the offense figures to remain limited against the Saints in Week 8 with Jacobs at full strength.

White took his only carry for two yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.

White logged a season-high five offensive snaps in the contest, but starter Josh Jacobs retained the bell cow role out of the Raiders' backfield with 20 carries for 143 yards and three touchdowns. Expect Jacobs to continue handling a significant share of the work against the Saints in Week 8, while White struggles to gain relevance in most fantasy formats.

Ogunbowale had one carry for eight yards and caught five of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Raiders in Week 7.

Ogunbowale made his biggest impact of the season on offense. The Texans featured him on their final drive -- that's when he had all of his touches and targets -- in a move Houston head coach Lovie Smith described to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle as "trying to find a spark." Smith didn't insinuate that Rex Burkhead, who has been the primary pass catcher out of the backfield, was lacking in any way, but it is interesting to note Ogunbowale's increased role nonetheless. The 28-year-old back has been primarily a special teams ace during his time in Washington, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and now with Houston.
