  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Gets involved in win over Falcons

    Wright carried the ball nine times for 28 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over Atlanta. He also secured his only target for a gain of zero yards.

    Wright got an opportunity to help close out the Dolphins' upset Week 8 win once the game was well out of hand, but he remained convincingly behind both De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon. The second-year pro will work to continue demonstrating some amount of consistency in the No. 3 role as Miami prepares for a matchup against Baltimore at home on Thursday Night Football in Week 9.

  • Tank Bigsby RB | PHI

    Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Tops century mark Sunday

    Bigsby carried the ball nine times for 104 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.

    Saquon Barkley left early in the fourth quarter with a groin injury, and Bigsby did most of his damage as the Eagles put the game to bed. It was still a very impressive performance from the former Jaguar, who came into the afternoon with just 23 rushing yards on the season between Jacksonville and Philly while being primarily used as a kickoff returner. The Eagles get a well-timed Week 9 bye, so Barkley may not miss any further action, but if he's not ready to return for a Week 10 clash with the Packers, Bigsby could find himself handling a very significant role in the offense.

  • Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Career-best performance vs. Falcons

    Gordon carried the ball 10 times for 46 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over Atlanta on Sunday. He also secured his only target for a 20-yard touchdown.

    Gordon turned in the best performance of his young career in Week 8, with Tua Tagovailoa in command of a Dolphins offense that looked not only resurgent but more complete than it had at any prior point this season. The rookie fifth-round pick logged new career-high marks in terms of carries, rushing yardage and receiving yardage versus Atlanta. Gordon is solidified as the No. 2 backfield option behind De'Von Achane, a role that will provide him modest fantasy value if Miami's offense is able to translate the momentum of this Week 8 in into actual consistency. The Dolphins face a difficult upcoming schedule, however, with their next three games coming against the Ravens, Bills and Commanders. Miami's next test will come versus Baltimore on Thursday.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Productive with extra touches

    Marks rushed 11 times for 62 yards and secured all four targets for 49 yards in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Marks led the Texans in rushing yards despite logging six fewer carries than backfield mate Nick Chubb, and he also made his mark as a pass catcher with a game-long 50-yard reception. Marks' 5.6 yards per carry served as a new career high, and he's now been afforded double-digit carries in three of the last four games while generating an 11-119-1 receiving line in the same span. The ascending rookie next sets his sights on a Week 9 home matchup against a tough Broncos defense.

  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Season-high yardage in Sunday's win

    Henderson carried the ball 10 times for 75 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

    It was a career-best performance for the rookie running back, although Henderson's day was marred somewhat by a lost fumble, his first of the season. Rhamondre Stevenson led the Patriots with 14 carries, but he managed just 34 rushing yards on that volume, and the workload could begin to tip toward the freshman given his superior explosiveness. Henderson will look to build on this performance in Week 9 against the Falcons.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Takes back seat to rookie

    Stevenson carried the ball 14 times for 34 yards and caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

    The fifth-year back saw rookie TreVeyon Henderson gain 75 yards on just 10 totes, while Stevenson struggled to 2.4 yards per carry. The veteran has managed to hang onto the top spot in New England's backfield time share so far this season, but Henderson's explosiveness may be tipping the scales in his favor. That said, Stevenson had three rushing TDs over the prior three games, and he likely won't disappear from the offense completely even if Henderson takes the lead role in Week 9 against the Falcons.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | CAR

    Panthers' Rico Dowdle: Efficient with limited opportunity

    Dowdle rushed eight times for 54 yards and wasn't targeted in the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 29 yards.

    Dowdle logged four fewer carries than backfield mate Chuba Hubbard, but he outgained the latter by 20 rushing yards. In the two games since Hubbard's return from a calf injury, Dowdle has 123 rushing yards on 25 carries to his teammate's 26-65-1 line on the ground in the same span, but the two are likely to continue working in a close workload split during a Week 9 road tilt against the Packers next Sunday afternoon.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Records rush TD in loss

    Hubbard rushed 12 times for 34 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 27 yards.

    Hubbard notably out-touched backfield mate Rico Dowdle by a 12-8 margin on the ground, and although the latter was the more efficient of the two by far, Hubbard was the only one of the two to get into the end zone. The fifth-year pro's three-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter marked his first time in the paint this season, and the two backs may continue working in a fairly close timeshare during a Week 9 road matchup against the Packers next Sunday afternoon.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Best game of season in loss

    Perine rushed nine times for 94 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for six yards in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Jets.

    Perine gave the Bengals a seemingly comfortable 31-16 lead with a 32-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, but the Jets won the fourth by a 23-7 margin to pick up their first win of the season. Chase Brown produced 108 total yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches, but Perine's strong play Sunday could help the veteran running back earn an expanded role moving forward. Heading into a Week 9 home game against the Bears, Brown remains the Bengals' top backfield option over Perine.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Set for surgery

    Skattebo is slated to undergo surgery Sunday night on the dislocated right ankle that he suffered during the Giants' Week 8 loss at Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Skattebo's lower right leg was placed in an air cast before he was carted off the field in the second quarter following the injury. He was transported to a local hospital and now will embark on the first step post-injury. During Sunday's game, reserve RB Tyrone Tracy turned 12 touches into 53 yards from scrimmage and no TDs, while Devin Singletary notched three touches for 28 total yards and no scores.
