Demetric Felton RB | WAS
Browns' Demetric Felton: Activated for Week 7
Felton was on the active roster for Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Ravens but played only on special teams.
Felton, who was inactive the previous week, played just six snaps and was not a factor in the return game. The lone kickoff return fell to D'Ernest Johnson, while Donovan Peoples-Jones handled punt returns.

Chase Edmonds RB | WAS
Dolphins' Chase Edmonds: Does little with seven carries
Edmonds rushed seven times for 17 yards and failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.
Edmonds' struggles continued as Raheem Mostert (20 touches for 106 combined yards and a score) keeps proving that he is the superior back in Miami. The 26-year-old received his second highest carry total this season, but he remained ineffective (2.4 YPC) on the ground while having no impact in the passing game. It is hard to recommend even rostering a player performing this poorly, but Edmonds could find himself back in the fantasy conversation quickly if the oft-injured Mostert goes down at any point this season. For now, Edmonds should be considered an underperforming backup heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Lions.

Matt Breida RB | SF
Giants' Matt Breida: Totals season-high 33 yards
Breida rushed four times for 19 yards and nabbed his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win against Jacksonville.
The Jaguars were gashed on the ground by both Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones, who each totaled over 100 rushing yards. Breida got in on the action to a far lesser extent, tallying his highest rushing total since Week 1 despite getting just four carries. He also converted his only air target into 14 yards to finish with a season-best 33 total yards. Breida has been getting a handful of touches per game to cement his position as New York's No. 2 back, but that doesn't translate into fantasy viability with Barkley in a workhorse role.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Produces 109 yards plus TD
Mostert rushed 16 times for 79 yards and caught four of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.
Mostert was arguably Miami's best offensive player Sunday, going for over 100 combined yards while scoring the team's only touchdown. The veteran tailback has clearly pulled away from the struggling Chase Edmonds (seven carries for 17 yards) as the lead back, and he has now produced two games with at least 100 yards and a touchdown over the last three weeks. Mostert is looking like a must-start fantasy asset heading into a favorable matchup against Detroit next Sunday.

AJ Dillon RB | CAR
Packers' AJ Dillon: Limited to four carries Sunday
Dillon rushed four times for 15 yards and didn't draw a target in the Packers' 23-21 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
The bruising tailback's disappointing season hit a new low Sunday, as Dillon logged the fewest carries and rushing yards of the campaign. He also wasn't targeted for the second time in three contests, leaving his fantasy outlook notably depressed going into a Week 8 matchup against the Bills on Sunday night.

Melvin Gordon RB | BAL
Broncos' Melvin Gordon: Leads backfield split against Jets
Gordon rushed the ball 11 times for 33 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Jets. He added two receptions for 17 yards.
As promised by coach Nathaniel Hackett, Gordon both started and led the Broncos' backfield against the Jets. However, he only out-touched Latavius Murray 13-10 and was also off the field during the team's only touchdown drive of the game. While Gordon may be the starter in name, Denver's backfield appears to be a near even split between Gordon and Murray. If the offense continues to struggle, neither back is likely to produce at a significant clip.
-
Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
49ers' Jeff Wilson: Produces in smaller role
Wilson rushed seven times for 54 yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 44-23 loss to Kansas City.
Wilson remained the starter following a mid-week trade for Christian McCaffrey, but he experienced a drop in usage following the addition of one of the best backs in the league. The incumbent figures to remain involved in the offensive gameplan even after McCaffrey inevitably takes over as the featured back, but the veteran's days as a startable fantasy asset are likely over following the blockbuster trade. Wilson's role may reduce even further against the Rams next Sunday.

Najee Harris RB | NYG
Steelers' Najee Harris: Tallies 80 yards from scrimmage
Harris rushed 17 times for 65 yards while securing three of four targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Harris has had an inconsistent start to the 2022 campaign, but he logged his second-highest total of the season in yards from scrimmage. The 24-year-old has failed to top 100 yards in any of the first seven games of the season, and it's possible that he faces an unfavorable game script next week if the Steelers fall behind early to the undefeated Eagles.
-
Nyheim Miller-Hines RB | NO
Colts' Nyheim Hines: Involved as pass catcher
Hines tallied four rushes for two yards in Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Titans. He added five receptions on five targets for 41 yards.
Hines returned from a one-game absence and immediately stepped back into his typical role as a change-of-pace back. He continued to be a non-factor as a rusher, as he now has 13 attempts for 16 yards on the season. Hines was more impressive as a pass catcher, with his longest reception of the day going for 14 yards. Hines has at least four catches in four of his six games this season -- he exited on the first possession in Week 5 -- and should continue to hold a consistent role as a pass catcher out of the backfield moving forward.
-
Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI
Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Tallies first career touchdown
Allgeier carried the ball 16 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Bengals.
After splitting work with Caleb Huntley in Week 6, Allgeier took hold of the lead back role against the Bengals by accounting for 16 of the team's 23 carries by running backs. He failed to tally a gain of at least 10 yards, though he did manage a pair of nine and eight-yard rushes, respectively. However, the highlight of his day came on a one-yard plunge into the end zone just before halftime -- the first touchdown of his career. Allgeier has at least 10 carries in five of his six games this season, tallying 50 or more rushing yards on three occasions.
