  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Lines up with starters Sunday

    Hubbard took the first warmup reps at running back with the Panthers' starting offense for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle lined up second in the order at running back, though it doesn't necessarily mean that Hubbard is in line to serve as Carolina's lead option on the ground in Week 7. While Hubbard was sidelined Weeks 5 and 6 due to a calf injury, Dowdle stepped in admirably and ran roughshod over the Miami and Dallas defenses, accruing 389 yards and a touchdown on 53 carries while adding seven receptions for 84 yards and another score. In light of Dowdle's pair of big performances, head coach Dave Canales was non-committal on a starting running back for the Week 7 contest, making it difficult to deploy either Hubbard or Dowdle with much confidence in terms of their projected workload.

  • AJ Dillon RB | PHI

    Eagles' AJ Dillon: Healthy scratch Week 7

    Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Dillon has worked in a rotational role out of the backfield through the first six games of the regular season, but he will observe Sunday's road game on the sidelines in street clothes. The Eagles will go with a three-man backfield of Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley and Tank Bigsby. Dillon's next opportunity to suit up is Week 8 against the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 26.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Available for Week 7

    Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Wright has been a healthy scratch for the Dolphins' last two games but will be available for Sunday's road game, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Wright and Ollie Gordon will serve as Miami's depth options out of the backfield behind De'Von Achane.

  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Good to go against New Orleans

    Homer (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Homer was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 sixth-rounder has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut after fully recovering from a calf injury. With lead back D'Andre Swift (groin) cleared to play Sunday, Homer will likely see most of his work on special teams while Roschon Johnson and Kyle Monangai provide rotational depth out of the backfield.

  • Raheim Sanders RB | CLE

    Browns' Raheim Sanders: Healthy scratch again

    Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Sanders played three snaps on offense during the Browns' season-opening loss to the Bengals but has not seen the field since. The Browns will go with a three-man backfield of Quinshon Judkins, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson again.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Active Sunday, as expected

    Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints.

    Swift has tended to three separate lower-body injuries so far this season, including a groin issue that limited him in the final two practices of the week. The Bears proceeded to tag their No. 1 RB as questionable for Week 7 action, but he told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com on Friday that he intended to play Sunday, and his comment was corroborated via a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN on Saturday evening. Now that Chicago has confirmed as much, Swift should be good to handle his typical workload of 17 touches per game, which he's turned into 447 yards from scrimmage and three total TDs through five contests.

  • Jarquez Hunter RB | LAR

    Rams' Jarquez Hunter: Healthy inactive for London game

    Hunter (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

    After being inactive for the Rams' season-opening win over the Texans, Hunter had suited up for each of Los Angeles' subsequent five games, but the rookie running back had been used exclusively on special teams. At least for one week, Hunter appears to have lost out on that meager role, as practice-squad call-up Ronnie Rivers will be active as depth behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum in addition to taking on Hunter's responsibilities on special teams.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Modest downturn in usage

    Perine had seven carries for 31 yards in Thursday night's win over the Steelers. He played 27 offensive snaps, which accounted for 38 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps.

    Perine had registered 47 percent of the offensive snaps over the two previous games, but teammate Chase Brown was running so effectively against the Steelers that it made less sense to replace him with Perine.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: On track to play Sunday

    Swift (groin), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Swift wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday. The starting running back is recovering from a groin injury sustained during Chicago's win over the Commanders on Monday, a narrow 25-24 victory in which he compiled a season-high 175 yards from scrimmage plus a receiving touchdown. Swift previously suited up despite initially being listed as questionable for Week 3 (quadriceps) and Week 4 (hip) and didn't see his workload decline in either contest, so fantasy managers can expect typical volume from him as long as the Bears make him active ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: True game-time decision for Sunday

    Jacobs (illness/calf), who remains listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, is considered a "true game-time decision," a league source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    After limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Jacobs turned in a full practice session Friday, but Schefter relays that the Packers don't anticipate being able to confirm his status until Sunday. With that in mind, final word on Jacobs' availability, or lack thereof, may not arrive until the team releases its inactive list roughly 90 minutes prior to the team's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Emanuel Wilson will likely be in line to start at running back for Green Bay if Jacobs is unavailable, while Chris Brooks would likely handle the bulk of pass-catching reps. Fantasy managers awaiting news on Jacobs' status will want to scour the waiver wire for Wilson and/or Brooks in the event Jacobs ends up sitting out.
