Dare Ogunbowale RB | LV
Jaguars' Dare Ogunbowale: Three touches Week 8
Ogunbowale had two carries for nine yards and caught his lone target for nine yards during Sunday's 31-7 loss at Seattle.
Ogunbowale played a season-high 15 offensive snaps with James Robinson (ankle) exiting early Sunday, while Carlos Hyde dominated the snaps and backfield touches the rest of the way. Robinson is considered day-to-day and appears to have avoided a serious injury, but Ogunbowale would still only be in line for a change-of-pace role if Hyde were forced to be the fill-in starter.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Logs eight carries Sunday
Stevenson carried eight times for 25 yards and caught one of his two targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.
Stevenson was on the field for 12 off a possible 77 snaps on offense in the contest, while lead back Damien Harris was out there for 41 snaps en route to carrying 23 times for 80 yards and a TD, and Brandon Bolden (25 snaps) ran four times for 26 yards. As long as Harris remains available, Stevenson's volume figures to remain sporadic, and another variable to consider is that different weeks and different game plans could lead to J.J. Taylor reentering the team's backfield mix as well.

Brandon Bolden RB | LV
Patriots' Brandon Bolden: No catches in Week 8
Bolden was on the field for 25 off a possible 77 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers en route to carrying four times for 26 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
A week after catching six passes on seven targets for 79 yards and a TD in New England's 54-13 win over the Jets, Bolden wasn't targeted at all Sunday. Meanwhile, lead back Damien Harris (41 snaps) carried 23 times for 80 yards and a TD and didn't catch his only target, while Rhamondre Stevenson (12 snaps) ran eight times for 25 yards and caught one pass (on two targets) for five yards. Looking ahead, Bolden figures to have some PPR-worthy efforts as the season progresses, but that's something that will hinge on weekly game plans and game flows, making him a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

La'Mical Perine RB | PIT
Jets' La'Mical Perine: One carry in Week 8 win
Perine rushed once for three yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.
Perine worked as New York's third-string running back with Tevin Coleman sidelined by a hamstring injury and could do so again if Coleman's not ready to go Thursday against the Colts. The Jets are content with their backfield timeshare between Michael Carter and Ty Johnson, leaving little to no playing time for Perine.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Titans' Derrick Henry: Expected to miss 6-to-10 weeks
Henry, who is scheduled to undergo surgery Tuesday on his fractured right foot, is expected to be out 6-to-10 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, head coach Mike Vrabel declined to put an official timeline on Henry's recovery, though it's safe to say that the star running back is out indefinitely. The estimate put forth by Rapoport indicates that Henry has a chance to return before the end of the season, but for now, Tennessee will need to find a way to fill the void created by the looming absence of one of the NFL's leading MVP candidates. Jeremy McNichols and Dontrell Hilliard currently are the team's top in-house options, but the franchise is expected to add at least one more back to the roster in short order.

Jeremy McNichols RB | WAS
Titans' Jeremy McNichols: Expanded role likely
With Derrick Henry slated to undergo foot surgery, McNichols is in line for added work in the coming weeks, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
While the Titans didn't offer a timetable for Henry's potential return to action, he'll presumably miss extended time. At this stage, the team has McNichols and Dontrell Hilliard on hand and backfield reinforcements figure to arrive soon, potentially via a trade in advance of Tuesday's deadline. With that in mind, McNichols' exact role and volume in Henry's absence is to be determined, but in the short-term at least, he's in line for added touches.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Titans' Derrick Henry: Slated for surgery
Henry (foot) will undergo surgery Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Henry broke his fifth metatarsal bone during Sunday's overtime win over the Colts. While coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that the 27-year-old doesn't yet have a timetable for his return, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the running back could miss the remainder of the season. Jeremy McNichols is in line for an expanded role in Henry's absence, while the Titans reportedly will host Adrian Peterson for a tryout this week.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
Panthers' Christian McCaffrey: Plans to practice Wednesday
Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that he expects McCaffrey (hamstring) to practice Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. "Hopefully we can get [McCaffrey] back soon," Rhule said. "If it's not this week, hopefully it will be next week."
If McCaffrey is indeed able to log at least a limited session Wednesday, it will represent a notable step in the right direction. The star running back still has yet to officially be designated for a return from IR, and he's now missed five straight games due to his strained hamstring. Wednesday's first official practice report of the week stands to bring a more substantial update on McCaffrey's recovery progress.

Benny Snell RB | DET
Steelers' Benny Snell: Racks up seven yards
Snell hauled in his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Browns.
Snell wasn't on the field for any offensive snaps in the Steelers' Week 6 win over the Seahawks, but he played three offensive snaps against Cleveland. However, his snap count lagged behind fellow depth options Anthony McFarland and Kalen Ballage.
