  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Modest numbers in Week 7 loss

    Kamara rushed 11 times for 28 yards and brought in all three targets for one yard in the Saints' 26-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    Kamara was stymied on the ground by a Bears defense that had been vulnerable against the run, and he uncharacteristically did next to nothing with his three catches. The versatile veteran has been held to 31 rushing yards or fewer in three straight games and hasn't recorded a rushing touchdown since Week 1, leaving his fantasy outlook bleak as a Week 8 home matchup against a tough Buccaneers run defense awaits next Sunday afternoon.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Another TD in Week 7 loss

    Mason rushed 15 times for 57 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted in the Vikings' 28-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Mason saw opportunities limited somewhat by game script at certain points, but the offseason addition put together a serviceable performance that he rounded out with his fourth rushing touchdown of the season via a one-yard run late in the third quarter. He has topped out at Sunday's rushing yardage total in the last three games following a 116-yard, two-touchdown tally versus the Bengals in Week 3, but he should remain the lead back in a Week 8 road matchup against the Chargers on Thursday night as long as Aaron Jones (hamstring) remains on injured reserve.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Even split with Dowdle

    Hubbard recorded 14 rushes for 31 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets. He added two receptions on three targets for 24 yards.

    Hubbard returned from a two-game absence and drew every touch on Carolina's first offensive possession. He went on to alternate drives with Rico Dowdle for the entire game, which naturally led to a near-even split in touches. Hubbard was far less efficient, as Dowdle outgained him, 96-55. It remains to be seen if that affects Hubbard's usage moving forward, but he managed to maintain a significant role in Carolina's offense despite Dowdle's strong showing during his absence.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Five carries in blowout

    Tuten rushed five times for 22 yards during Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.

    The five carries are pretty standard for Tuten, though it's more notable in this contest given that starter Travis Etienne carried just eight times. That likely had more to do with a lopsided game script than anything else, but it's still worth noting with Tuten positioned as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback. The rookie fourth-round pick enters the bye week with 27 carries for 108 yards, six receptions for 59 yards and two total touchdowns in seven games.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Another frustrating day Sunday

    Barkley rushed 18 times for 44 yards and brought in his only target for minus-2 yards in the Eagles' 28-22 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    In addition to being stymied on the ground yet again, Barkley also suffered an injury scare when he exited the game briefly in the second half to be evaluated for a concussion. Barkley eventually returned to the contest, but he finished with under 60 rushing yards for the fifth straight game. Barkley had a long run of just nine yards as well, and the inefficient afternoon was especially disappointing considering he quickly netted 16 yards on his first three carries during the Eagles' opening drive. The 2018 first-round pick will look for a resurgent outing at the expense of his former Giants squad in a Week 8 divisional clash next Sunday afternoon.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Non-factor against Chiefs

    Jeanty rushed the ball six times for 21 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs. He added one reception on one target for 13 yards.

    The Raiders had arguably the worst offensive showing by a team this season, running only 30 offensive plays for 95 net yards. That didn't offer Jeanty any opportunity to get going, though he did still account for one of the team's more explosive plays with a 13-yard catch and run late in the third quarter. It was a disappointing time for Jeanty to turn in the lowest yardage total of his career, as he had topped 100 yards from scrimmage in two of his last three contests.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Effective with big workload Sunday

    Judkins rushed 25 times for 84 yards and three touchdowns in the Browns' 31-16 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    As expected, Judkins handled significant volume on the ground against what had been a vulnerable Dolphins run defense, but he was just one run away from actually disappointing profoundly from an efficiency basis. The rookie back's season-long 46-yard run, which went for a touchdown early in the second quarter, was the first of a career-high three scores for Judkins and helped obscure the fact he netted a scant 38 yards on his other 24 carries. Nevertheless, the three trips to the end zone pushed Judkins' TD total to five in just six games, and he'll look for per-carry success in a Week 8 road matchup against the Patriots.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Held to 52 total yards

    Hall rushed the ball 11 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers. He added two receptions on three targets for 14 yards.

    The Jets had an abysmal offensive showing, mustering only 220 net yards on 60 plays. Hall was a part of that, though he had very little running room as the offense offered minimal threat through the passing game. His longest gain from scrimmage was only eight yards, and Hall has now been held below 60 total yards in four of seven games this season. Given that he's also yet to find the end zone, his fantasy output has been very volatile.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Impressively efficient in Week 7

    Swift rushed 19 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Swift's long run on the day went for a relatively modest 23 yards, underscoring the fact he was able to consistently grind out productive gains throughout the afternoon. The veteran back both eclipsed the 100-yard mark and set a new season high in rushing yards for the second time in six days and went in for his third rushing TD of the season on an 11-yard run with just over nine minutes remaining in the first half. Swift is unsurprisingly proving to be a key cog in head coach Ben Johnson's innovative offense, and he'll take aim at the Ravens' suspect run defense on the road in a Week 8 matchup next Sunday afternoon.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Concern regarding knee injury

    Saints coach Kellen Moore said there's concern for Miller's knee injury following Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Bears, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Miller logged one carry for seven yards before exiting with a knee injury in the first half. The third-year running back walked to the locker room under his own power, per Terrell, but he was ruled out shortly after halftime. The first two seasons of Miller's career were hampered by injuries, in particular hamstring and ankle issues, and it wasn't until recently that he'd finally settled into a consistent RB2 role. He's already logged career highs in carries (47) and rushing yards (193) across seven games this season. If Miller misses time, then Devin Neal should stand to see increased carries behind RB1 Alvin Kamara.
