Hall rushed six times for 23 yards and caught six of 10 targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.

Michael Carter got most of the touches in the Jets' backfield, and deservedly so. Carter totaled 100 yards on 17 touches while Hall mustered only 61 scrimmage yards and fumbled just outside the red zone in the third quarter. Hall will likely start to take on a larger portion of New York's backfield snaps as the season goes on, but the rookie second-round pick is on the lower end of a platoon with Carter heading into the Jets' Week 2 trip to Cleveland.

Mitchell was spotted leaving the locker room with a large brace on his right leg after Sunday's 19-10 loss at Chicago, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Mitchell was abruptly ruled out after the 49ers' fourth possession of the game with a knee injury. There was no context before or after his departure, and while he was walking slowly without bending his right leg on his way to the team bus, he was doing so without crutches. Coach Kyle Shanahan likely will touch on Mitchell's health in the next day or two, but if the running back misses any time, it may again be the Deebo Samuel show out of San Francisco's backfield for the foreseeable future. Samuel ended up with eight carries for 52 yards and one TD in Week 1 (along with two catches for 14 yards on eight targets), while Jeff Wilson had nine rushes for 22 yards and two receptions for eight yards. Meanwhile, undrafted rookie Jordan Mason didn't have a touch, and 2022 third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price was inactive.

Edmonds rushed 12 times for 25 yards and caught all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-7 win over the Patriots.

Edmonds got 16 touches to Raheem Mostert's six, but neither new Dolphins running back found much running room against the stout New England front. While his yardage total was pedestrian, Edmonds' prominent usage in his Dolphins debut suggests better days are ahead, and one could come as soon as Week 2 against the Ravens.

Taylor rushed 31 times for 161 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of seven targets for 14 yards in the Colts' 20-20 overtime tie with the Texans on Sunday.

It's difficult to believe the Colts didn't prevail in a game during which Taylor furnished such a spectacular stat line, as the Pro Bowl running back seemingly did everything within his power to facilitate a victory. The elite rushing numbers are par for the course for Taylor against the Texans -- he victimized them for 288 yards and four touchdowns over two games last season. The mammoth yardage total was complemented by a two-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown that began the Colts' comeback, and Taylor will now take on the task of mounting a successful encore to the season-opening breakout in a Week 2 road matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Mixon ran for 82 yards on 27 carries and caught seven passes for 63 yards on nine targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

The mammoth volume was partly afforded by the overtime period, but Mixon saw consistent usage all game before then too. He did his part in what was mostly an overwhelmed offense, as the Steelers defense knocked around the Bengals most of the game, especially early on. Tee Higgins (concussion) missed most of the game, which might have affected Mixon's target count, but even backup Samaje Perine saw five targets in this one. Mixon may continue to see a solid pass-catching role in Week 2 against the Cowboys if Higgins remains out.

Stevenson rushed eight times for 25 yards and caught both of his targets for two yards in Sunday's 20-7 loss to the Dolphins.

Rather than featuring Stevenson in the passing game following James White's retirement, the Patriots instead turned to Ty Montgomery, who scored the team's only touchdown from six yards out on one of his four targets. Stevenson's in a 50/50 platoon with Damien Harris on early downs, while Montgomery's locked in as the top backfield option in passing situations heading into the Patriots' Week 2 trip to Pittsburgh.

Chubb rushed 22 times for 141 yards and secured his only target for two yards in the Browns' 26-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Chubb enjoyed one of his trademark workhorse performances to open the season, consistently ripping off gains against the Panthers' front throughout the afternoon. Chubb's longest run was a relatively modest 25 yards, underscoring how effective he was on a carry-to-carry basis. While backfield mate Kareem Hunt flashed with a rushing and receiving touchdown apiece, Chubb naturally retains no shortage of fantasy value heading into a Week 2 home matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Harris rushed nine times for 48 yards and caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-7 loss to Miami.

Harris got one more touch than Rhamondre Stevenson, who turned eight carries and two catches into just 27 scrimmage yards. A 50/50 backfield split in the run-heavy Patriots offense should work just fine for Harris, especially if he gets the majority of goal-line carries after punching in 15 rushing touchdowns last season. He'll take on the Steelers in Week 2.

Harris was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bengals with a foot injury, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Harris had carried 10 times for 23 yards and caught two passes for three yards and a TD. Next up for the team's carries and thus a potential Week 2 waiver wire target is Jaylen Warren.

McCaffrey rushed 10 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Browns. He also caught all four of his targets for 24 yards.

McCaffrey jumped over the pile for a one-yard touchdown during the second quarter, but his mere five touches in the first half was a surprisingly low total. With the Panthers offense getting going more in the second half, McCaffrey had a few nice gains. Overall, though, his output wasn't anything special to begin the campaign. He'll strive for an improved performance in Week 2 versus the Giants.
