  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Team-high 11 carries Sunday

    Pollard rushed 11 times for 44 yards while adding one reception on two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.

    Pollard finished with a team-high 11 carries in Sunday's blowout loss, but it was backup Tyjae Spears (9-59-1) who produced the superior fantasy score. The 28-year-old Pollard has seen his production dip in recent weeks, tallying just 96 rushing yards with no touchdowns over his last three starts. The untimely dip in production has come alongside Spears' return from injury in Week 5, with a less-than-appealing timeshare developing in Tennessee's backfield. Pollard still retains deep-league value so long as he is starting, but expectations should be kept in check for larger formats against the Chargers next Sunday.

  • Andrew Beck RB | NYJ

    Jets' Andrew Beck: Makes nine-yard catch in win

    Beck caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.

    Beck has registered a reception in three of the Jets' last four games. The team is desperate for pass catching production after multiple injuries to wide receivers, but the fullback is unlikely to expand his contributions much.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Rushes for over 100 yards in win

    Dobbins took 15 carries for 111 yards and caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 44-24 win over Dallas.

    Dobbins took full advantage of Dallas' porous rush defense Sunday, rumbling for his second 100-plus yard rushing game this season. Fantasy managers will be annoyed to see rookie backup RJ Harvey gobble up three touchdowns on just eight total touches, as even just one of those scores going to the starter would have elevated his fantasy score from good to great. Touchdown vultures aside, Dobbins has been as steady as they come leading Denver's rushing attack in 2025, maintaining a stellar 5.0 per-carry average through eight starts.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Held to 45 yards on eight touches

    Kamara gained 21 yards on six carries and caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

    With Kendre Miller (knee) being placed on injured reserve this week, Kamara finished Sunday's contest as the only Saints RB to record a carry. However, that did not lead to a fruitful fantasy day after New Orleans abandoned the run early, passing 51 times compared to 15 rush attempts in the one-sided loss. Kamara's lack of involvement in the passing game has been concerning through eight weeks, as he is currently on pace to finish with a career-worst 306 receiving yards. Starting QB Spencer Rattler was benched in the second half of Sunday's loss, so a potential change under center could help unlock Kamara as a receiver against the Rams in Week 9.

  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: Moderate usage in backfield

    Monangai rushed seven times for 24 yards and caught his lone target for 25 yards in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Monangai has between 16 and 24 rushing yards in three of his last four contests, with an 81-yard effort and a touchdown in Week 7. His current workload keeps him a fantasy reserve unless opportunities expand.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Elevates play against New Orleans

    Tucker took 12 carries for 42 yards and a touchdown without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 23-3 win over the Saints.

    Tucker saw a nearly even split in carries with fill-in starter Rachaad White (13-35-0), but it was the latter who produced the favorable fantasy score this time around. The 23-year-old Tucker was limited to just two touches in last week's loss to Detroit, so Sunday's outburst comes as a pleasant surprise for those in deeper formats who rolled the dice on Tampa Bay's third-string RB. Tucker has scored twice in the four games sans starter Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder), but he managed just seven total rushing yards in the two contests he failed to hit pay dirt. It probably isn't wise to add Tucker following Sunday's strong showing with the Buccaneers on a bye in Week 9 coupled with the potential for Irving to return to the lineup against the Patriots on Nov. 9.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Scores twice in Week 8 loss

    Williams rushed 13 times for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos. He also caught one of two targets for eight yards.

    Williams scored a pair of one-yard rushing touchdowns to bring his season total to eight rushing scores, but Dallas otherwise failed to find the end zone against the stout Denver defense until after waving the white flag and inserting backup quarterback Joe Milton. Williams, the former Broncos running back, continues to dominate touches in Dallas' backfield, especially once top backup Miles Sanders (knee) was ruled out for the season. Williams and the Cowboys host the Cardinals on Monday Night Football in Week 9.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Outperformed by Marks in win

    Chubb rushed 17 times for 56 yards and brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Chubb received six more carries than rookie backfield mate Woody Marks, but the latter outgained the veteran by six yards despite the lesser workload. Marks also stood out by doubling Chubb's reception total and gaining 36 more receiving yards, but head coach DeMeco Ryans appears intent on keeping Chubb involved as both a runner and receiver. Nevertheless, with a middling 4.0 yards-per-carry average, Chubb could eventually swap places in the backfield pecking order with Marks.

  • Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Lesser of tandem backfield Sunday

    White rushed 13 times for 35 yards and had two receptions on as many targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-3 win over the Saints.

    White got another start in place of injured starter Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) in Week 8, leading the Buccaneers' backfield in carries (13) and touches (15) in a comfortable win. That's where the good news ends, as backfield mate Sean Tucker (12-42-1) finished as the team's leading rusher while scoring its only touchdown on offense Sunday. With the Buccaneers on a bye in Week 9, there is a possibility that Irving could be ready to return when Tampa Bay resumes play against New England on Nov. 9. White would lose nearly all of his fantasy value in that scenario, so managers have to weigh whether it is worth holding on to the backup through the bye week.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Can't stop scoring in threes

    Taylor ripped off 153 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries and caught both of his targets for 21 yards and a third score in Sunday's 38-14 rout of the Titans.

    Taylor continues to score in threes, producing his fourth three-touchdown game in eight starts this season. It was the 26-year-old's second consecutive contest scoring thrice and the second time he has accomplished the feat against Tennessee this year. In addition to his monstrous rushing totals (143-850-13), Taylor has made strides as a receiver in 2025. The Wisconsin grad has 25 receptions for 206 yards and two touchdowns the midpoint of the schedule nears, a rate that would eclipse the 40-360-2 receiving line he posted during his breakout campaign back in 2021. Taylor will ride a wave of momentum into next Sunday's tilt against the Steelers' 19th-ranked rush defense.
