  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Season-low six snaps in loss

    Corum rushed once for 13 yards and failed to secure either of his two targets during Thursday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

    Corum's six snaps on offense represents the first time this season he's failed to crack the double-digit marker. Kyren Williams returned to fully dominating the timeshare, playing 62 snaps and garnering a total of 22 touches. Williams did have a costly fumble late in the fourth quarter and was stuffed on fourth-and-1 to end the game in overtime, but the momentum clearly seems to be shifting towards him reclaiming his monstrous usage of last season. A soft Baltimore defense leading the league in points allowed is up next in Week 6, but Corum's steep decline in usage this week will make him difficult to trust in fantasy leagues.

  • 49ers' Isaac Guerendo: Returns one kickoff Thursday

    Guerendo ran back one kickoff for 18 yards while receiving no carries or targets in Thursday's 26-23 overtime win over the Rams.

    Christian McCaffrey continued to operate as San Francisco's bell cow (88 percent) while Brian Robinson (14 percent) remained the clear No. 2, which leaves Guerendo parked in the garage when the team is on offense. The 2024 fourth-round selection is stuck on special teams for the foreseeable future, needing an injury ahead of him on the depth chart to open up playing time. Guerendo generates no fantasy value in his current role when the 49ers visit the Buccaneers in Week 6.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Earns doubtful tag for Week 5

    Tracy (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Tracy practiced Friday for the first time since dislocating his right shoulder Week 3 against the Chiefs, with head coach Brian Daboll noting that the running back is "a lot better," per Salomone. Considering his listing ahead of Week 5 action, however, Tracy isn't a serious candidate to play. Assuming Tracy is confirmed to be inactive about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, the Giants again will turn to rookie Cam Skattebo to lead the backfield, with Devin Singletary available for any backfield reps that linger.

  • 49ers' Brian Robinson: Held to 12 yards Thursday

    Robinson rushed five times for 12 yards and was not targeted in Thursday's 26-23 overtime win against the Rams.

    Starter Christian McCaffrey gobbled up a season high 76 snaps on offense (88 percent) Thursday, leaving just scraps for Robinson, even with the 49ers missing several key offensive players on a short week. The veteran backup finished with his worst per-carry average (2.4 yards) since being traded to San Francisco this preseason. Robinson's lack of involvement in the passing game (three targets) coupled with zero trips to the end zone through five appearances make him a poor fantasy option Week 6 against the Buccaneers.

  • Avery Williams RB | NYJ

    Avery Williams: Joins Jets' practice squad

    Williams signed with the Jets' practice squad Friday.

    The 2021 fifth-round pick from Boise State was dropped by the Eagles' in late August after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's since found a new home with the Jets. Williams last appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Falcons in 2022, recording 22 carries for 109 yards and one touchdown.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Questionable for Sunday, still on IR

    Spears (ankle), who currently is on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

    Spears sustained a high right-ankle sprain during the Titans' preseason opener on Aug. 9 and eventually was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return on Aug. 26. After missing the minimum four games on IR, he got back on the practice field Wednesday as a limited participant and has mixed into drills in the team's ensuing two sessions. Coach Brian Callahan told Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site on Friday that Spears had a good week of practice, but in order for the RB to play this weekend, Tennessee will need to activate him from IR by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | CAR

    Panthers' Rico Dowdle: Set to start Sunday

    Coach Dave Canales said Dowdle will start Sunday against the Dolphins with fellow RB Chuba Hubbard (calf) ruled out for the contest, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Hubbard wasn't able to practice this week due to a lingering calf injury, and while he'll be inactive this weekend, Canales labeled him "day-to-day," meaning Dowdle's time as the Panthers' No. 1 backfield option may be contained to one game. In reserve role this season, Dowdle has averaged 3.0 yards on his 28 carries, hauled in five of six targets for 20 yards and scored a rushing touchdown in four games. Having said that, he racked up 1,079 rushing yards last year as the Cowboys' primary RB, so he can handle a large workload if needed. Trevor Etienne and DeeJay Dallas will be on hand for any reps that don't go to Dowdle.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | IND

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Ruled out for Week 5

    Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

    Goodson, who sustained his groin injury during Week 4 action, didn't practice this week and now will target a potential return Sunday, Oct. 12 against the Cardinals. In Goodson's absence this weekend, DJ Giddens will back up Jonathan Taylor, with Ameer Abdullah and Ulysses Bentley representing possible practice-squad elevations.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Won't play in Week 5

    Hubbard (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Hubbard played through a calf injury this past Sunday in New England but logged a season-low 51 percent snap share in the process. In the wake of that contest, he didn't practice at all this week, signaling that he was trending toward his first absence of the campaign. Rico Dowdle thus lines up to lead Carolina's backfield this weekend, with Trevor Etienne and DeeJay Dallas also on hand for RB reps. Hubbard's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Oct. 12 versus the Cowboys.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Officially ruled out for Week 5

    Coach Todd Bowles officially ruled out Irving (foot/shoulder) for Sunday's game at Seattle, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Irving emerged from a Week 4 loss to the Eagles with a sprained right foot that forced him to don a walking boot and also crutches as a spectator at Wednesday's practice. Earlier Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported that Irving was unlikely to play Week 5, which now has been confirmed. The Buccaneers thus will roll with the combination of Rachaad White and Sean Tucker out of the backfield this weekend and perhaps beyond that point.
