Robinson carried the ball nine times for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Titans.

Robinson made his NFL debut after missing the Commanders' first four games due to a leg injury he sustained during an attempted robbery Aug. 28. It was reported he would be on a pitch count as a result, but he still dominated touches out of the backfield by out-carrying Antonio Gibson 9-3. It has yet to be seen how efficient Robinson can be, but it appears that he should see plenty of opportunity moving forward.

Kamara rushed the ball 23 times for 103 yards in Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks. He added six receptions on six targets for 91 yards.

Kamara has missed two of the Saints' first four games due to a rib issue, but he showed no ill effects against Seattle. He wasn't able to find the end zone but still delivered a few splash plays, highlighted by a 54-yard catch and run that set up a touchdown two plays later. Also of note was the volume that Kamara handled, as his 29 touches were 12 more than he had seen in a previous game this season. While he began the campaign by splitting the backfield with Mark Ingram, Kamara looks to be in line to handle something closer to a workhorse role moving forward.

Sanders ran for 58 yards on 15 carries against Arizona on Sunday while catching two passes for six yards on three targets.

Sanders couldn't get much going as the Eagles mustered just 20 points against a previously beleaguered Arizona defense. So long as Sanders maintains his recent workload share -- the second-most active Eagles running back (Kenneth Gainwell) saw just three carries and zero targets in this game -- better days should be ahead. Sanders can run with the ball, and in its current construction the Eagles offense appears headed toward a high point total in 2022. If Sanders just maintains his current usage tendencies he could bounce back as soon as against Dallas in Week 6.

Ward won't return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a hamstring injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Ward was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game in the second half, although the extent of his injury isn't yet clear. His next chance to play will be next Sunday against the Seahawks.

Robinson rushed 10 times for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to Houston.

Robinson was outperformed by Travis Etienne (13 touches for 114 yards) for the second week in a row, despite both backs getting a nearly even split in touches. This trend doesn't bode well for the veteran of the duo, as Robinson saw most of his fantasy production this season come from a three-game burst to open the year. The 2-3 Jaguars will face a tough defense on the road against the Colts next Sunday, making Robinson a touchdown-dependent flex play at best.

Singletary rushed six times for 42 yards and brought in one of two targets for four yards in the Bills' 38-3 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Singletary was highly efficient with his rushing workload, but he had precious few opportunities to build on his success despite the Bills boasting a comfortable lead most of the game. The fourth-year back has logged double-digit carries only once this season, Sunday, he gave way to rookie James Cook once the game was completely out of hand. Singletary and his fantasy managers will perhaps see more opportunity on his behalf in a Week 6 road showdown against the Chiefs.

Williams left Sunday's game due to a knee injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

In the waning moments of the third quarter, Williams was evaluated by team trainers on the sideline before walking to the locker room. This marks three Cardinals running back that got hurt Sunday after James Conner exited earlier with a rib concern and Jonathan Ward suffered a hamstring injury shortly after Williams. If Conner, Williams and Ward are unable to reenter the contest, Eno Benjamin will handle most of the work out of the backfield, as rookie sixth-round pick Keaontay Ingram was inactive again.

Kelley carried the ball 10 times for 49 yards and a touchdown in the 30-28 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also caught both of his targets for 33 yards.

Kelley tallied the second-most receiving yards on the team Sunday in what amounted to a heavy attack on the ground. It's entirely possible head coach Brandon Staley and company simply chose to ride the hot hand, but it's worth pointing out Kelley tallied 10 carries to Sony Michel's one, a possible sign the platoon backup backfield situation could be seeing a new hierarchy taking place. In any case, the third-year back still remains firmly behind Austin Ekeler, who set a career high in rushing yards Sunday and also scored two touchdowns.

Etienne logged 10 carries for 71 yards and caught three of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to Houston.

Etienne and James Robinson (10 carries for 27 yards) split the backfield work nearly evenly again, but it was the former who finished with the better fantasy line for the second week in a row. One of the bigger busts in fantasy through four weeks, Etienne's big game brings his combined yardage average up to 67.8 through five weeks, albeit with no touchdowns. Robinson (four total touchdowns) could maintain superior fantasy value as he is the preferred back near the goal line, but the two backs could see their stocks move in opposite directions if recent results are any indication of future value. It will be interesting to see if head coach Doug Pederson gives Etienne more early-down work in a tough divisional matchup against the Colts next Sunday.

Henry rushed the ball 28 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders. He added two receptions for 30 yards.

As usual, Henry was the driving force behind the Tennessee offense, accounting for two of the team's three touchdowns. Both came on one-yard rushes, but he also had two carries that went for more than 10 yards while adding a 24-yard reception. Henry now has three consecutive games with over 100 total yards and at least one touchdown.
