Corum (ankle) rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

Corum was able to work back from an ankle injury that limited him during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's overseas tilt in London. The 24-year-old wound up handling a season-high 12 carries, matching starter Kyren Williams (12-54-0) in a game dominated by Los Angeles' passing attack. It is important to note that half of Corum's carries came late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach, so this was unlikely a changing of the guard in the Rams' backfield. The 2024 third-round pick was averaging 4.8 rushing attempts per game prior to the Week 7 outburst, so managers should keep expectations in check coming out of the Rams' upcoming bye week.

Williams took 12 carries for 54 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-7 overseas win over Jacksonville.

Williams' managers suffered a casual stat line in Sunday's one-sided affair after the Rams' passing attack accounted for all five of the team's trips to the end zone in London. The veteran starter's even carry split with Blake Corum (12-37-0) can also be attributed to an unfavorable game script, with six of the backup's carries essentially coming in garbage time. Williams has been a reliable starter in fantasy in 2025, generating 638 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns through seven starts. A lack of scoring is the only thing holding the 24-year-old back from his first-round projections, as he is currently on pace to score 12 touchdowns after averaging 15.5 over his last two standout seasons. Williams will be looking to hit pay dirt when the Rams come out of the bye to face the Saints in Week 9.

Miller was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bears with a knee injury.

Before his exit, Miller carried once for seven yards. In his absence, Devin Neal is on hand to back up starting RB Alvin Kamara.

Etienne carried the ball eight times for 44 yards and caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.

While the fourth-year back was effective with his touches, Etienne got phased out of the game plan in the second half after the Jaguars fell behind 21-0 before halftime. Heading into the team's Week 8 bye, Etienne sports an impressive 594 scrimmage yards and three total TDs through seven contests.

Hubbard took the first warmup reps at running back with the Panthers' starting offense for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle lined up second in the order at running back, though it doesn't necessarily mean that Hubbard is in line to serve as Carolina's lead option on the ground in Week 7. While Hubbard was sidelined Weeks 5 and 6 due to a calf injury, Dowdle stepped in admirably and ran roughshod over the Miami and Dallas defenses, accruing 389 yards and a touchdown on 53 carries while adding seven receptions for 84 yards and another score. In light of Dowdle's pair of big performances, head coach Dave Canales was non-committal on a starting running back for the Week 7 contest, making it difficult to deploy either Hubbard or Dowdle with much confidence in terms of their projected workload.

Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Dillon has worked in a rotational role out of the backfield through the first six games of the regular season, but he will observe Sunday's road game on the sidelines in street clothes. The Eagles will go with a three-man backfield of Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley and Tank Bigsby. Dillon's next opportunity to suit up is Week 8 against the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Wright has been a healthy scratch for the Dolphins' last two games but will be available for Sunday's road game, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Wright and Ollie Gordon will serve as Miami's depth options out of the backfield behind De'Von Achane.

Homer (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Homer was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 sixth-rounder has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut after fully recovering from a calf injury. With lead back D'Andre Swift (groin) cleared to play Sunday, Homer will likely see most of his work on special teams while Roschon Johnson and Kyle Monangai provide rotational depth out of the backfield.

Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Sanders played three snaps on offense during the Browns' season-opening loss to the Bengals but has not seen the field since. The Browns will go with a three-man backfield of Quinshon Judkins, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson again.

Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints.

Swift has tended to three separate lower-body injuries so far this season, including a groin issue that limited him in the final two practices of the week. The Bears proceeded to tag their No. 1 RB as questionable for Week 7 action, but he told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com on Friday that he intended to play Sunday, and his comment was corroborated via a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN on Saturday evening. Now that Chicago has confirmed as much, Swift should be good to handle his typical workload of 17 touches per game, which he's turned into 447 yards from scrimmage and three total TDs through five contests.
