  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Career-best performance in win

    Cook rushed 19 times for 216 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Cook's yardage total was unsurprisingly a career-best figure, one the fourth-year back accomplished with seven runs of 10-plus yards, including a 64-yard touchdown scamper just past the midway point of the second quarter. The talented back added a 21-yard scoring run with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter, and he was able to take an early seat thanks to Buffalo's expansive lead. Cook has now eclipsed the 100-yard mark in four of the last six games following a 44-yard season opener against the Ravens, and he'll remain an elite option in all formats for a Week 9 home showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday afternoon.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Gets into end zone in Week 8 loss

    Swift carried the ball 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.

    The 26-year-old running back accounted for Chicago's only TD of the day on a two-yard run early in the fourth quarter that briefly brought the team within a field goal at 16-13. Swift has a four-game touchdown streak going, scoring three on the ground and one through the air, and over that stretch he's averaged 111 scrimmage yards a contest. Swift could be headed for another big performance in Week 9 against a vulnerable Bengals defense that just got gashed by Breece Hall for 133 rushing yards and two TDs, plus a four-yard touchdown toss on a trick play.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Three fourth-quarter TDs in win

    Hall (knee) rushed 18 times for 133 yards and two touchdowns, caught two of three targets for 14 yards and threw a four-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.

    Hall scored his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard run early in the fourth quarter, then doubled that total with a 27-yard touchdown run that featured some impressive footwork to stay inbounds along the sideline. He capped the improbable fourth-quarter comeback with a four-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor, as the ensuing PAT gave the Jets their first lead of the game with 1:54 remaining before the defense closed the door. Hall will have a Week 9 bye to help his recovery from a knee injury that limited his practice participation and had him listed as questionable heading into Sunday's win, and he should reprise his role as the team's top backfield option in Week 10 against the Browns.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Dealing with groin injury

    Barkley suffered a groin injury during Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Barkley pulled up at the end of a 28-yard run near the end of the third quarter, after which he visited the sideline tent before the Eagles disclosed the nature of his injury. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 8 with 14 carries for 150 yards and one touchdown and four catches (on five targets) for 24 yards and another TD. Tank Bigsby took over most of the RB duties following Barkley's departure.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Won't return Sunday

    Judkins (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Prior to sustaining his shoulder injury, Judkins carried nine times for 19 yards and caught all three of his targets for minus-2 yards. In Judkins' absence, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson are available to handle the Browns' backfield duties. Judkins' next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Nov. 9 against the Jets following Cleveland's Week 9 bye.

  • Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Inactive for Week 8

    McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    McLaughlin has been a healthy scratch for seven of the Broncos' first eight games of the regular season, with his lone appearances taking place Week 6 against the Jets. J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie will be the three running backs on the Broncos' active roster for Week 8.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Dislocated ankle confirmed

    Skattebo suffered a dislocated right ankle during Sunday's contest at Philadelphia and was transported to a local hospital to be evaluated further, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    With a diagnosis now known for the gruesome right ankle injury he sustained in the second quarter that required an air cast to stabilize and a cart to get off the field, Skattebo is out indefinitely and likely for the rest of the campaign. The rookie fourth-round pick will yield New York's backfield to Tyrone Tracy moving forward.

  • DJ Giddens RB | IND

    Colts' DJ Giddens: Inactive Sunday

    Giddens is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    With Giddens the odd man out in the Colts' Week 8 backfield, Ameer Abdullah and Tyler Goodson (in his return from a groin injury) are available to work behind Jonathan Taylor versus Tennessee.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Ruled out with ankle injury

    Skattebo was ruled out of Sunday's game in Philadelphia due to a right ankle injury.

    Skattebo suffered a gruesome injury to his lower right leg at the end of a Jaxson Dart incompletion that targeted the rookie running back. His right ankle was placed in an air cast before he was carted off the field in the second quarter. While Skattebo will be out for the foreseeable future, Tyrone Tracy will take over the Giants backfield Sunday and beyond.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Carted off with foot injury

    Skattebo was carted off the field during Sunday's game at Philadelphia due to a right foot injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. He gained 12 yards on three carries and recorded an 18-yard touchdown reception prior to his departure.

    Per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Skattebo's right foot was bent the wrong way at the end of a Jaxson Dart incompletion to the running back in the middle of the second quarter. Tyrone Tracy will take over as the Giants' lead back for the rest of the contest.
