  • Zamir White RB | LV

    Raiders' Zamir White: Zero offensive snaps against Colts

    White did not play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

    White was not involved in the Raiders' offensive plans Sunday, as the veteran running back played exclusively on special teams in the contest. Meanwhile, Raheem Mostert operated as Ashton Jeanty's backup and Dylan Laube played exclusively on special teams. White's diminished role has taken him off the fantasy radar moving forward. The Raiders host the Titans in Week 6.

  • Dylan Laube RB | LV

    Raiders' Dylan Laube: Not involved on offense in Week 5

    Laube returned three kickoffs for 77 yards in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

    Laube failed to record a single offensive snap for the second straight week. The 25-year-old was only used on special teams while veteran Raheem Mostert operated as the No. 2 running back behind starter Ashton Jeanty. With Mostert seemingly entrenched as the top backup option, fantasy managers can expect more of the same for Laube going forward. The second-year New Hampshire product remains far off the fantasy radar as the Raiders get ready to host the Titans in Week 6.

  • Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Handles seven carries in loss

    Mostert rushed seven times for 22 yards in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

    Mostert played 47 percent of the Raiders offensive snaps Sunday, a major increase in playing time compared to his 15 percent snap share in Week 4 when he made his season debut. Through two games, the veteran running back has recorded just 11 carries for 84 yards, adding one catch for 11 yards. With Ashton Jeanty handling the bulk of the backfield duties for the Raiders, Mostert remains nothing more than an insurance policy behind the rookie. Next up for the Raiders is a home matchup against the Titans' vulnerable run defense in Week 6.

  • Titans' Julius Chestnut: Role slips further

    Chestnut recorded one carry for three yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over Arizona. He did not catch his only target.

    Chestnut was on the field for only three offensive snaps while slipping to third on the Tennessee depth chart due to the return of Tyjae Spears. Chestnut has not attempted more than two carries in a game this season.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Gets in limited practice Tuesday

    Barkley (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

    Though the Eagles didn't hold a traditional practice session, Barkley was upgraded in terms of activity after he was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's report. According to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Barkley reiterated Tuesday that he intends to play Thursday against the Giants, despite dealing with general soreness in his knee. However, given the quick turnaround for the Week 6 contest following Sunday's loss to the Broncos, Barkley could have his workload managed a little more than he normally might.

  • Owen Wright RB | TB

    Owen Wright: Signed to TB practice squad

    The Buccaneers signed Wright to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Wright was unable to make the Buccaneers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he has been invited back by Tampa Bay to be part of the practice squad. He could be elevated to the active roster for the Buccaneers' Week 6 clash against the 49ers on Sunday to give the team additional depth at running back if Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) is not cleared to play.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Workload increasing

    Perine carried four times for 27 yards and gained two yards on two receptions in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

    More importantly, Perine played 29 offensive snaps, good for 47 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. With top running back Chase Brown off to a slow start to the season, Perine might continue to cut into his snap share, especially when the Bengals are playing from behind.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Does little in MNF win

    Tuten rushed four times for six yards and caught one pass for five yards in the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday night.

    Tuten was limited during the practice week due to a shoulder injury, but he played his normal role, handling a handful of touches on 21 percent of the offensive snaps. With Travis Etienne healthy and handling the vast majority of the backfield opportunities in Jacksonville, Tuten is merely a bench stash in fantasy.

  • Tank Bigsby RB | PHI

    Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Still stuck on special teams

    Bigsby was limited to special teams duties Sunday against the Broncos, returning a pair of kicks for 44 yards.

    Bigsby hasn't played a single offensive snap since being acquired by the Eagles after Week 1. He's the fourth running back on the Eagles' depth chart, so even an injury to Saquon Barkley likely wouldn't be enough for him to move into a meaningful role.

  • Velus Jones: Cut by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Jones on Tuesday.

    Jones appeared in all five of the Saints' contests to begin the season, returning eight kickoffs for 183 yards while picking up three tackles (one solo) on special teams. He played two offensive snaps but didn't touch the ball on either.
