Pacheco recorded three carries for nine yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss against Indianapolis.

On a positive note, Pacheco received targets on 60 percent of the snaps he was in the game. He's the clear No. 3 in Kansas City's rotation but could step into a larger role in future weeks should either Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Jerick McKinnon miss time.

McKinnon tallied seven carries for 20 yards and didn't catch his only target during Sunday's 20-17 defeat versus the Colts.

McKinnon received more snaps (33) than Clyde Edwards-Helaire (25) in the contest (33-25) and also finished with more totes (seven to CEH's four). However, Edwards-Helaire also reeled in five passes for 39 yards to salvage his day from a fantasy perspective, whereas McKinnon didn't make an impact as a receiver. Still, McKinnon should continue to contribute steadily as part of a backfield committee.

Reynolds rushed six times for 13 yards while securing his only target for five yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.

Reynolds saw increased offensive snaps and touches for a second consecutive week as D'Andre Swift now tends to a shoulder injury in addition to his ankle woes. With Swift possibly set to miss multiple games, Reynolds could see even more involvement in Week 4 against the Seahawks as the potential No. 2 running back behind Jamaal Williams.

Evans caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.

Evans is still looking for his first carry of the season, and he managed only two offensive snaps in this one. It'll take an injury to either Joe Mixon or Samaje Perine before Evans has a chance at a meaningful offensive role.

Perine scored the Bengals' initial touchdown in their win over the Jets on Sunday on a pass in the red zone. He ended up with a combined 61 yards rushing and receiving.

Perine got the bulk of his carries late, but he ended up rushing nine times for 47 yards to go along with his two catches for 14 yards. He was more effective running the ball than teammate Joe Mixon, albeit he had the benefit of getting most of his work against a tired opponent.

Breida gained three yards on one carry and was not targeted in the passing game during a Week 3 loss to Dallas on Monday Night Football.

It's clear that New York intends to rely as heavily as ever on Saquon Barkley this season despite his problems staying healthy in recent campaigns. Breida got just one carry Monday, while Barkley rushed 14 times for 81 yards and caught all four of his targets for another 45 yards. Breida has just eight rush attempts for 26 yards while notching no catches on one target through the first three weeks.

Pollard rushed the ball 13 times for 105 yards and failed to catch his only target in Monday's 23-16 win over the Giants.

Pollard accounted for the Cowboys' longest play from scrimmage with a 46-yard run early in the second quarter. Though Ezekiel Elliott led the backfield with 16 total touches, Pollard picked up his highest number of carries in a game this season. After a quiet performance in Week 1, the Memphis product has recorded 203 scrimmage yards across his last two games.

Elliott rushed the ball 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for two yards in Monday's 23-16 win over the Giants.

Elliott had an impressive primetime showing, recording both his first run of more than 20 yards and also his first touchdown of the season. The former came on a pitch play to the left side of the line and the latter on a one-yard plunge late in the third quarter. Despite the positive performance, Elliott only narrowly held the touch advantage over Tony Pollard, tallying 16 total opportunities to Pollard's 13. Through three games, Elliott has 178 rushing yards on 40 carries.

White did not log a carry or target in the Buccaneers' 14-12 loss to the Packers on Sunday but did return one kickoff for 20 yards.

White seemingly had the potential to log a few extra touches while spelling Leonard Fournette, who is still dealing with a hamstring injury, but the latter played 91 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday. In contrast, White was in on just six snaps from scrimmage and another 10 on special teams. Head coach Todd Bowles seems content to give Fournette a true lead-back workload thus far, keeping White as a non-factor for fantasy purposes.

Barkley carried the ball 14 times for 81 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-16 loss to the Cowboys. He added four receptions for 45 yards.

Barkley picked up nearly half of his rushing yards on an explosive 36-yard score midway through the third quarter. While his efficiency on the ground was otherwise unimpressive, he also finished second on the team in receiving yards. Through three games, Barkley looks to be back to his 2019 form, as he has racked up 408 total yards and two touchdowns.
