  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Chargers' Najee Harris: Team confirms Achilles injury

    Coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed Harris suffered an Achilles injury in Sunday's win over the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    It was clear to the eye that Harris suffered a non-contact Achilles injury, but the team initially labeled it as an ankle issue. Harbaugh added that Harris is undergoing imaging following the win. There's not a lot of optimism that Harris avoided a serious injury, as it looked like a season-ender for the running back. Further tests will reveal the extent of the issue, but Omarion Hampton looks set to pace the Los Angeles backfield moving forward, with Hassan Haskins bumping up the depth chart to RB2. Hampton piled up 129 total yards and one touchdown on 25 touches against Denver and will likely be a locked-in RB1/2 for fantasy purposes moving forward.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: First TD of 2025

    Pollard rushed 16 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts. He added two receptions on four targets for 14 yards.

    The Titans were forced into a pass-heavy game script by falling behind by three scores early in the third quarter. That limited Pollard's chances on the ground, though he managed a one-yard touchdown plunge a few minutes of game time later. Pollard has found ways to be productive -- he topped 85 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two games -- but the Tennessee offense is likely to continue to limit his upside.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Falls just short of century mark

    Irving carried the ball 25 times for 66 yards and caught all four of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Jets.

    The second-year back fell just short of reaching 100 scrimmage yards for the second straight game, but he saw a season high in touch volume as the Buccaneers took a 23-6 lead into the fourth quarter. Irving is still looking for his first rushing TD of the year, as Tampa Bay got most of its scoring from kicker Chase McLaughlin (five field goals and two PATs) plus a 55-yard INT return for a touchdown by Jamel Dean. Irving could be productive again in Week 4 against an Eagles defense that just surrendered 112 combined yards and a receiving TD to the Rams' Kyren Williams.

  • Braelon Allen RB | NYJ

    Jets' Braelon Allen: Season-high volume against Bucs

    Allen carried the ball six times for 30 yards and caught both his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

    While he still took a back seat to Breece Hall in the Jets' backfield, Allen came closer to an even split of the workload as Hall turned 13 touches into 52 scrimmage yards. The second-year RB is still only on the edge of the fantasy radar in most formats, but he's trending in the right direction headed into a Week 4 clash with the Dolphins.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Held in check by Bucs

    Hall carried the ball nine times for 21 yards and caught four of six targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

    The fourth-year RB posted disappointing numbers for the second straight week as Hall drifted closer to a full timeshare with Braelon Allen, seeing 13 touches to the younger back's eight and barely out-producing him (52 yards to 47). Hall is still looking for his first TD of 2025, and through three contests he's averaging 4.1 yards per carry on 38 totes. He'll try to break out in Week 4 against a Dolphins defense that just got gashed for 108 yards and a touchdown by the Bills' James Cook.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Logs 12 touches in loss

    Chubb rushed nine times for 38 yards and secured three of four targets for two yards in the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Chubb saw a modest workload on the ground but still led the Texans in rush attempts on the afternoon. The veteran back has been solid in the early going now almost two years removed from his devastating early-season knee injury in 2023, with Chubb averaging 4.2 yards per carry and scoring a rushing TD on his 34 rush attempts to date. The veteran should continue to share early-down work with rookie Woody Marks during a Week 4 home matchup against the Titans next Sunday.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Stands out as No. 1 back in win

    Judkins rushed 18 times for 94 yards and a touchdown while bringing in one of two targets for one yard in the Browns' 13-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Logging his first official NFL start, Judkins set the tone for his second productive performance in as many career games with a seven-yard gain on the Browns' first play from scrimmage. The rookie second-round pick would go on to add a game-long 38-yard run shortly before the halfway point of the fourth quarter, and he then powered in for a one-yard touchdown later in the period that erased a 10-3 deficit. Judkins already looks like a bona fide No. 1 back, and he could see his workload bump up a notch following another week of practice ahead of a Week 4 road matchup against the Lions.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Week 3 over following ankle injury

    Conner (right ankle) won't return to Sunday's game in San Francisco.

    Conner required a cart to get off the field after he was tackled high and low by 49ers defenders on a one-yard carry early in the third quarter. His Week 3 has come to a close after tallying 37 yards from scrimmage and no TDs on 12 touches. Trey Benson is poised for most of the Cardinals' RB reps for the rest of Sunday's contest.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Excels as lead back in win

    Mason rushed 16 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns and wasn't targeted in the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Making his first start in place of Aaron Jones (IR, hamstring), Mason delivered on lofty expectations from fantasy managers with an ultra-efficient performance. The offseason addition consistently rattled off productive gains throughout the afternoon, and he found the end zone from five and four yards out in the second and third quarter, respectively. Mason shared work with Zavier Scott (eight carries) and Cam Akers (five carries), but that was at least partly a byproduct of the Vikings being able to rest starters in the second half. Mason will remain a coveted option in all formats when Minnesota faces off with the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland in Week 4.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Tallies receiving score

    Williams rushed the ball 20 times for 94 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles. He added two catches on three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown.

    Williams easily led the Rams backfield in carries, but Blake Corum continued to carve out a role in the offense with eight rushing attempts. That didn't affect Williams' performance in Week 3, as he still managed a season high in both carries and yardage. Williams also made an impact as a receiver for the first time on the campaign, catching a 10-yard touchdown to kick off the third quarter. While Williams may be losing some of his workload, the Rams offense should be efficient enough for him to remain a reliable fantasy contributor moving forward.
