Walton recorded three carries for 16 yards during Sunday's 43-0 loss to the Patriots.

Walton also caught one of two targets for 12 yards. The Dolphins suffered a blowout loss for a second consecutive week, forcing the team to focus on downfield throws and abandon the running game early on. Of course, as the No. 3 option behind Kalen Ballage and Kenyan Drake, it's unlikely that Walton will see notable carries even if Miami manages to keep Week 3's contest against the Cowboys more competitive.

Conner will have tests Monday to determine the severity of his knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Conner's departure from Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle left Jaylen Samuels in the lead role at the end of the game. With Ben Roethlisberger in the process of determining if he needs elbow surgery, the already struggling Pittsburgh offense is facing serious issues ahead of a Week 3 tilt with the 49ers. Samuels averaged 47 snaps, 14 carries, four catches and 109.3 scrimmage yards over a three-game stretch late last season when Conner was out with a knee injury.

Pollard carried the ball four times for 22 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's win over Washington.

With Ezekiel Elliott taking on his usual workload (25 total touches), there wasn't much left over for Pollard. He did find the end zone on a three-yard run in the third quarter while Elliott was getting a breather, but the touchdown was wiped out by a holding penalty. The fact that the Cowboys were comfortable using Pollard in the red zone is encouraging, but unless something happens to Elliott, the rookie's fantasy value will be minimal.

Wilson received 10 carries for 34 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Bengals.

Wilson was signed off the practice squad with Tevin Coleman (ankle) sidelined, and the second-year back immediately made his presence felt with his first career TDs. Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert did most of the damage between the 20s, while Wilson saw most of his work when the game was sealed in the fourth quarter, despite the game stats showing a nearly even split in workload. Wilson may prove to be the best option near the goal line after Sunday's showing, even if he is third on the depth chart in terms of carry volume heading into next week's matchup against the Steelers.

Williams carried nine times for 28 yards while catching three passes for 13 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-16 win over the Vikings.

Williams was rather inefficient despite receiving 12 touches, finishing with an underwhelming 3.4 yards per touch. He did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a 15-yard receiving touchdown to get his team on the board in the first quarter. Meanwhile, backfield mate Aaron Jones racked up 150 scrimmage yards on 27 touches and looks the part of a lead back for the Pack. Williams should continue to receive his share of looks when the game flow allows, but big fantasy production shouldn't be expected next Sunday against the Broncos.

Clement (shoulder) was taken to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Falcons, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.

It's unclear when Clement may have gotten hurt, but he joins an extensive list of Eagles injured in this one, highlighted by wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin). He was spotted wearing a sling after the game.

Wilkins amassed 82 rushing yards on five carries, and caught his only target for a gain of four yards during Sunday's 19-17 win against the Titans.

Wilkins peeled off not one, but two explosive runs against the vaunted Titans rush defense Sunday, picking up 15 and 55-yard gains -- the second of which set Indianapolis up for the go-ahead touchdown from Jacoby Brissett to T.Y. Hilton. As a change-of-pace option to Marlon Mack heading into Week 3, Wilkins has potential to do some damage against an Atlanta defense that gave up five runs of 10-plus yards in its debut showing of 2019 against Minnesota.

Freeman carried the ball 11 times for 54 yards and caught five of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Bears.

The second-year back outgained Phillip Lindsay both on the ground and through the air despite seeing one fewer touch than his backfield mate. Denver appears content to stick with a timeshare between Freeman and Lindsay for now, but if Freeman continues to be the more effective back, he could claim the starting job outright -- especially with the 0-2 Broncos looking for some kind of spark on offense.

Murray rushed five times for seven yards and brought in his only target for 16 yards in the Saints' 27-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Murray had gotten his Saints tenure off to a solid start in Week 1, averaging just over seven yards per carry on his six rushes versus the Texans on Monday night. That efficiency on the ground was nowhere to be found Sunday, however, with the Rams not having to worry about the threat of Drew Brees (hand) after his first-quarter exit turned into a game-long absence. That allowed them to hone in on the run more than usual, resulting in Murray's 16-yard reception qualifying as the highlight of his afternoon. The veteran back will look to put together a better performance versus the Seahawks in a Week 3 road battle.

Jones carried 23 times for 116 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Vikings. He also made four catches for 34 yards in the 21-16 win.

After averaging just 3.0 yards per carry in the season opener, Jones averaged 5.0 per tote in this one as he repeatedly gashed the Vikings run defense. He scored a two-yard touchdown in the second quarter and rounded out his performance by finishing second on the team in receiving yardage. Jones' big game was an excellent sign for the Packers, who secured a divisional win with Aaron Rodgers throwing for just 209 yards. He will have the opportunity to build on this effort next Sunday against the Broncos at home.
