  • Ameer Abdullah RB | IND

    Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Lands back on practice squad

    Adbullah reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Adullah was elevated for the second straight week for this past Sunday's win over Arizona and logged three snaps on offense, rushing once for seven yards and catching his lone target for nine yards. He also played 10 snaps on special teams. Though Abdullah is back on the Colts' practice squad for now, he could be elevated again in Week 7 versus the Chargers if Tyler Goodson (groin) remains sidelined.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Suiting up Monday

    Rodriguez (calf) is active for Monday's game against the Bears.

    Despite not practicing in any capacity due to a calf injury in advance of this contest, Rodriguez will be available to the Commanders offense, but in what role remains to be seen. Washington didn't elevate a running back from the practice squad Monday, instead opting to bring up two wide receivers to support a banged-up group, so Rodriguez seemingly has a good chance to mix into the backfield behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt along with Jeremy McNichols. In three prior outings with that trio available, Rodriguez racked up 23 carries for 105 yards and no touchdowns.

  • Nate Carter RB | ATL

    Falcons' Nathan Carter: Inactive for Week 6

    Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against Buffalo.

    Once again, the Falcons will go with just two running backs on the gameday roster, as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier will handle all backfield duties.

  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Downgraded to out for MNF

    Homer (calf) was downgraded to out for Monday night's game against the Commanders.

    Homer's season debut will have to wait at least another week, as his next chance to suit up will be Sunday against the Saints. Homer will likely contribute mainly on special teams when he does return to action.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Barely sees field Sunday

    Blue gained zero yards on three carries in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.

    The rookie running back saw only five snaps (nine percent) on offense as Javonte Williams continues to dominate the workload in the Dallas backfield. Blue did gain 40 yards on two kickoff returns, but even that role will disappear once KaVontae Turpin (foot) gets healthy. Blue's only fantasy value right now is as insurance against a Williams injury.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Expected to miss another week

    Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Irving (shoulder) is "not in play" to retake the field versus Detroit in Week 7 during Monday Night Football on Oct. 20, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Bowles said both Irving and Chris Godwin (fibula) are near guarantees to miss another week, per Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay Sports, while rookie sensation Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday and looks uncertain for Week 7. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Mike Evans (hamstring) could return to practice this week, but in any case the Buccaneers offense will be down a number of key playmakers next Monday. Until Irving is able to retake the field, Rachaad White will continue to operate as Tampa Bay's top backfield option while Sean Tucker handles No. 2 duties.

  • 49ers' Brian Robinson: No rushing attempts Sunday

    Robinson did not record a carry and caught all three of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

    It was an odd usage game for Robinson after he did not receive a carry for the first time in six appearances this year. Equally abnormal, the veteran backup's three targets Sunday matched the combined total from his previous five contests. The end result was still unsavory from a fantasy perspective, as Robinson was unable to do much with just five snaps played on offense (seven percent). Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Robinson in games that starter Christian McCaffrey is healthy for. The same can be said for next Sunday's tilt against the Falcons.

  • Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ

    Jets' Isaiah Davis: Three touches in Week 6 loss

    Davis rushed twice for two yards and caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos.

    Davis saw typical backup running back usage, playing on 15 of the Jets' 57 snaps on offense compared to Breece Hall's 42. It would take an injury to Hall for Davis to carve out meaningful fantasy value for the winless Jets.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Ankle injury lingers

    Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Corum (ankle) is day-to-day despite having been cleared to retake the field during Sunday's 17-3 win over Baltimore, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Corum briefly exited Sunday's win in the second quarter due to an ankle injury and was initially labeled as questionable, but he managed to return to action after halftime and finish the day with five carries for 23 yards. Only one of those carries came after his return, however. The second-year pro doesn't have clean bill of health yet, but the fact that he was able to return versus the Ravens lends credence to the notion that he'll be able to play in Week 7 against the Jaguars and handle his usual No. 2 role behind Kyren Williams. Rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter would benefit from increased opportunities if Corum were to miss any time.

  • DJ Giddens RB | IND

    Colts' DJ Giddens: Just two snaps on offense

    Giddens did not have a carry nor was targeted in the passing game in Sunday's win over Arizona. He played just two snaps on offense.

    It was surprisingly Ameer Abdullah who had both a carry and a reception in the game, although the veteran RB played only three snaps on offense. Giddens is still likely the running back who would get the most work if Jonathan Taylor were to get hurt, though Tyler Goodson has been sidelined with a groin injury and could factor in once he's healthy. Either way, Taylor is getting almost every touch in the backfield in non-blowouts, and that doesn't look likely to change.
