  • Nate Carter RB | ATL

    Falcons' Nathan Carter: Handles two carries against Miami

    Carter rushed twice for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

    Carter played just two of the Falcons' 50 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Atlanta's No. 3 running back behind both Bijan Robinson (30) and Tyler Allgeier (20). In three appearances this season, the rookie running back has played a total of 10 offensive snaps and recorded just nine carries for 60 yards. Barring an injury to Robinson or Allgeier, Carter remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ATL

    Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Scores TD in loss

    Allgeier rushed four times for four yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

    Allgeier played 40 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. The fourth-year running back's touchdown came late in the fourth quarter and was the only trip to the end zone in the contest. In what turned out to be a surprising blowout against the Dolphins, the Falcons' offense was unable to get much going against a vulnerable Miami defense. Operating as the clear backup to Bijan Robinson, Allgeier remains one of the top insurance policies in fantasy in the event that Robinson misses time due to injury. With that said, the 25-year-old backup does hold a bit of standalone value due to having a nose for the end zone in 2025. Allgeier has recorded four touchdowns so far this season, already matching a career high set in 2023 across 17 games. Next up for the Falcons is a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Jashaun Corbin: Lands on PS injured list

    The Patriots placed Corbin (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.

    The nature and severity of Corbin's injury aren't clear, but his placement on the practice squad IL means he is ineligible to be elevated to the Patriots' active roster for at least the next four games. Fellow running backs Rushawn Baker and Jonathan Ward were signed to New England's practice squad in corresponding moves.

  • Jonathan Ward: Catches on with New England

    The Patriots signed Ward to the practice squad Tuesday.

    Ward was unable to make the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but will get a new opportunity with the Patriots as a member of the practice squad. Terrell Jennings has been elevated by the Patriots to the active roster three times, which is the maximum amount a team can do. As such, Ward and Rushawn Baker would be candidates for a game-day elevation if the Patriots require added backfield depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

  • Raheem Blackshear: Cut from Steelers' practice squad

    Pittsburgh cut Blackshear from the practice squad Tuesday.

    Blackshear inked with the Steelers' practice squad Oct. 6, but he wasn't elevated for game action during his tenure with the team. The veteran running back logged a similar stint with Tennessee late September. Blackshear will now work to resurface as an emergency depth option elsewhere in the league.

  • D'Ernest Johnson: Jettisoned from practice squad

    The Cardinals cut Johnson from the practice squad Tuesday.

    Johnson had been elevated for Arizona's loss to the Packers in Week 7, a contest in which he logged one carry for zero yards while playing 14 snaps on offense. For Johnson to now be cut from the practice squad could be a sign that Emari Demercado (ankle) is on track to retake the field in time to face the Cowboys in Week 9.

  • Nyheim Hines: Gets cut from practice squad

    The Chargers released Hines from their practice squad Tuesday.

    The Chargers had already used their maximum three elevations to the active roster on Hines this season, and rather than promoting him permanently, they decided to cut ties. In his three appearances this year, he recorded two carries for negative two yards.

  • Lions' Craig Reynolds: Still dealing with hamstring issue

    Reynolds (hamstring) was not available for team drills during Detroit's practice Tuesday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

    Reynolds suffered a hamstring injury during the first half in Week 7 versus the Buccaneers, and even with the benefit of a Week 8 bye, it's still bothering him as the Lions begin preparations for Week 9. His participation at practice will be worth noting when Detroit publishes its first official practice report of the week Wednesday.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Heads to IR, season over

    New York placed Skattebo (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    After dislocating his right ankle in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Eagles, Skattebo underwent season-ending surgery hours later, with head coach Brian Daboll relaying that "all went well" with the operation, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Skattebo has been discharged from the hospital and is able to begin rehabbing right away, but he's without a specific timeline for a return and may not be back to 100 percent health by the start of the 2026 campaign. The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State had emerged as the Giants' lead back prior to suffering the devastating injury, and he'll finish his rookie season with 410 yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries to go with a 24-207-2 receiving line on 32 targets over eight games. Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary are slated to fill the void in the New York backfield.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Just two snaps in Week 8

    Rodriguez carried once for two yards while playing two of the Commanders' 53 snaps on offense in Monday's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs.

    Rodriguez has now played single-digit snaps in three straight games, all of which were Commanders losses. As an early-down specialist, Rodriguez will likely have a role in grinding out the clock when the Commanders are sitting on a lead, but he's been almost entirely phased out of the game plan while Washington has been in tight games or has faced large deficits over the past three weeks.
