  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Salvages day with long catch

    Swift recorded 13 carries for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Cowboys. He added three receptions on four targets for 45 yards.

    Swift was one of only a few poor performers for Chicago on Sunday. He was unable to find much running room throughout the game and was held below 50 rushing yards for the first time this season. Instead, Swift made his impact as a receiver, picking up 41 yards after a short dump-off midway through the second quarter. Swift remains the clear leader of the Bears' backfield, as he out-touched Kyle Monangai 16-7 and has found the end zone in each of the last two contests.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Garners five touches Sunday

    Harvey rushed twice for two yards while catching all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.

    Harvey received his usual handful of touches while backing up J.K. Dobbins (11-83-1), but the former failed to make an impact on the box score in such a limited role. The 24-year-old Harvey is averaging six combined touches through his first three games as a pro. It appears that it will take an injury to Dobbins for Harvey to see significant touches in this offense. For now, the electric rookie is just a name worth monitoring as the Broncos prepare to host the Bengals on Monday Night Football in Week 4.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Receives nine touches Sunday

    Miller took seven carries for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.

    Starter Alvin Kamara struggled on his 18 carries, opening the door for Miller to see a few extra touches in the second half a blowout loss. The former still dominated the touch share 19 to nine, emphasizing Miller's role as the clear No. 2 in New Orleans. Miller carries little to no fantasy value into next Sunday's road tilt against the Bills.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Earns 12 touches in blowout win

    Holani carried the ball 10 times for 27 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-13 rout of the Saints.

    Holani was elevated to No. 2 on the running back depth chart with Zach Charbonnet (foot) sitting out this contest. The 25-year-old Holani saw more touches than were likely expected in a lopsided matchup that was decided by halftime. It is unclear if Charbonnet will return in time for Thursday's matchup against the Cardinals, but Holani is unlikely to generate fantasy buzz even if he is asked to serve as Kenneth Walker's primary backup again.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Looks good as lead back

    Skattebo rushed the ball 10 times for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs. He added six receptions on eight targets for 61 yards.

    Skattebo was expected to handle more work in Week 3, and he was forced into the lead-back role after Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) departed in the first quarter. Skattebo went on to be one of the few bright spots for the Giants, as he tallied their only touchdown of the game late in the second quarter on a 13-yard run. He was also a primary target in the short areas of the field, leading the team in targets, receptions and yards. The extent of Tracy's injury is unclear, but Skattebo's performance should put him in line for a significant role in Week 4 against the Chargers regardless of Tracy's status.

  • Isiah Pacheco RB | DET

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Leads backfield with 45 yards

    Pacheco took 10 carries for 45 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Pacheco was far more efficient with his 10 carries in Sunday's win compared to the paltry 22 rushing yards he managed in Week 2. The positive news ends there, as backup Kareem Hunt also received 10 carries while punching in Kansas City's only rushing touchdown on the evening. It appears a timeshare has developed in the Chiefs' backfield, limiting Pacheco to a flex option at best against the Ravens next Sunday.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Tallies 36 total yards in loss

    Marks rushed six times for 27 yards and brought in one of two targets for nine yards in the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Marks logged just three fewer carries than backfield mate Nick Chubb, recording new career highs in rush attempts and rushing yards in the process. The rookie fourth-round pick also recorded a reception for the second consecutive game, and Marks could see his role continue to expand in a Week 4 home matchup against a Titans defense that allowed 102 rushing yards and three touchdowns to Jonathan Taylor on Sunday.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Scores rush TD in win

    Tuten rushed six times for 21 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Jaguars' 17-10 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    The rookie No. 2 back logged nine fewer carries than Travis Etienne, but he matched his backfield mate in rushing touchdowns by recording a one-yard scoring run in the first quarter. Tuten also tallied a receiving TD in Week 2, and it's clear he'll continue to operate in a reliable complementary role as the Jaguars travel to face the 49ers in Week 4.

  • Dylan Sampson RB | CLE

    Browns' Dylan Sampson: Limited usage Week 3

    Sampson had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers in Week 3.

    Sampson was on the field for just five offensive snaps and went untargeted for the first time in three weeks. He had eight targets in Week 1 followed by a touchdown catch last week, but it looks like Jerome Ford has emerged as the primary target out of the backfield. In addition to the diminished targets, Sampson's overall usage has taken a hit, dropping from 33 snaps in Week 1 to 17 in Week 2 and now five. That drop coincides with the availability of Quinshon Judkins.

  • Jerome Ford RB | WAS

    Browns' Jerome Ford: Targeted four times in win

    Ford caught all four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Green Bay in Week 3.

    Ford didn't get a carry for the first time in three weeks, but he has emerged as a primary target out of the backfield. He actually caught a fifth pass, but the play was negated by a holding penalty. Ford has 10 official targets over the last two weeks and 11 for the season. That's tied with Dylan Sampson for the lead among Cleveland's running backs, but Sampson went untargeted Sunday and has just three over the last two weeks. Ford was not used in the return game after returning six kicks in Week 2.
