  • Jaguars' JaMycal Hasty: Seven touches sans Robinson

    Hasty rushed four times for 13 yards, caught three of four targets for minus-three yards and returned one kickoff for 29 yards during Sunday's 21-17 loss to Denver.

    The 26-year-old served as the Jaguars' No. 2 tailback with James Robinson traded to the Jets after Week 7, but he found minimal room to run despite a season-high seven touches. Etienne ran all over Denver with 162 scrimmage yards on 27 touches and should continue to dominate Jacksonville's backfield work. Hasty likely won't find any fantasy relevance as long as Etienne remains healthy.

  • D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE

    Panthers' D'Onta Foreman: Runs in three TDs in OT loss

    Foreman rushed 26 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to Atlanta. He didn't catch his only target and ran in a two-point conversion.

    Foreman was the focal point of Carolina's offense with fellow running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) ruled out. With the PJ Walker-led passing game struggling in the first half, a two-yard Foreman touchdown gave the Panthers a 10-7 lead in the second quarter, and he went into halftime with 73 rushing yards on 13 carries. Foreman kept it going in the second half, producing a one-yard touchdown followed by a two-point conversion to tie the game at 21 early in the fourth quarter before tying the game at 28 by finding the end zone from 12 yards out. Even if Hubbard's cleared to play in Week 9 against the Bengals, Foreman has likely earned himself the lead role moving forward.

  • Michael Carter RB | TEN

    Jets' Michael Carter: Gets seven carries, seven targets

    Carter rushed seven times for 26 yards and caught four of seven targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Carter got seven rushing attempts to five for new teammate James Robinson, but the absence of Breece Hall's (knee) big play ability in the backfield forced the Jets to go more pass-heavy. That approach led to more chunk plays through the air and a handful of opportunities for Carter as a pass catcher, but Zach Wilson threw three costly interceptions. Carter's ability to contribute as both a rusher and receiver should keep his touch floor high in Week 9 against the Bills and beyond, regardless of game script.

  • Jets' James Robinson: Used sparingly in Jets debut

    Robinson rushed five times for 17 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Robinson didn't make much of an impact in his first game with the Jets, as New York went to a more pass-heavy game plan after losing running back Breece Hall to a season-ending ACL tear. As Robinson familiarizes himself with the offense, the trade acquisition from Jacksonville is likely to take on a larger role with his new team, but another negative game script could lead to limited rushing attempts in Week 9 against the Bills.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Quiet in defeat

    Jacobs rushed 10 times for 43 yards and caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

    Jacobs had a long rush of 16 yards help his efficiency, but it wasn't a very productive day overall for the tailback, as his team was shut out. Coming off three straight monster performances, Jacobs' stock came back to earth Sunday in a difficult matchup. On the bright side, Week 9's contest versus the Jaguars appears favorable for a Jacobs bounceback.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Scores three TDs

    Kamara rushed 18 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while catching nine of 10 targets for 96 yards and two more scores in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Raiders.

    Kamara broke his touchdown drought in spectacular fashion. He opened the scoring with a three-yard rush during the first quarter, then barreled through a number of Raiders defenders on a 16-yard touchdown catch later on. Shortly after halftime, he again struck through the air, scoring from 36 yards. In doing so, he posted new season highs in all major receiving categories. His huge performance Sunday gives Kamara's stock a nice boost ahead of Week 9's Monday night matchup versus the Ravens.

  • Tony Jones RB | ARI

    Seahawks' Tony Jones: Healthy scratch Sunday

    Jones (coach's decision) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Jones signed with Seattle after being waived by the Saints on Oct. 8, though he has yet to see any action on offense with the Seahawks. The 24-year-old played 11 special-teams snaps over the past two weeks, and his next opportunity to play will come against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 6.

  • Broncos' Latavius Murray: Leads Denver's backfield

    Murray rushed the ball 14 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars. He added one reception for 13 yards.

    Murray's usage continues to fluctuate, as he led Denver's backfield with 14 carries as opposed to Melvin Gordon's nine. Murray wasn't all that effective -- he averaged only 3.3 yards per carry -- but he managed a game-winning plunge into the end zone from two yards away late in the fourth quarter. Through three games with the Broncos, Murray has reached double-digit carries on two occasions, and he has also scored a touchdown in consecutive contests.

  • Melvin Gordon RB | BAL

    Broncos' Melvin Gordon: Finds way to end zone

    Gordon rushed the ball nine times for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars. He added three receptions for 23 yards.

    Latavius Murray led the Denver backfield with 15 touches compared to Gordon's 12. However, Gordon still managed a productive fantasy performance thanks to a one-yard touchdown plunge midway through the third quarter. He has now failed to reach 35 rushing yards in five of his last six games and continues to lose work to Murray.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Not quite ready to play

    Though Williams (ankle) won't play Sunday against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic relays that the running back was spotted getting in a pregame workout prior to the contest.

    The Rams designated Williams (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, but the running back isn't quite ready to suit up at this stage. However, Sunday's report suggests that he's trending in the right direction, and it's possible that Williams could be activated ahead of next weekend's game against the Buccaneers.
