RJ Harvey RB | DEN
Broncos' RJ Harvey: Getting evaluated for concussion
Harvey is being evaluated for a concussion, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
Harvey was taken to the blue injury tent, and eventually to the locker room, to be evaluated for a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams. The 2025 second-round pick will need to pass the evaluation to return to the game. J.K. Dobbins and Tyler Badie are Denver's available running backs. Harvey had two carries for six yards and caught five of six targets for 39 yards prior to coming off the field.

Javonte Williams RB | DAL
Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Big day in Brazil
Williams carried the ball 19 times for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens. He also caught two of three targets for five yards.
The veteran back gave the Cowboys a 10-0 lead in the first quarter with a two-yard TD plunge, his third trip to the end zone in three games this season, and Williams topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time since Week 12 of 2025. Even with Sunday's strong effort, Williams has managed just 3,9 yards per carry to begin the year, a major downturn from his 4.8 mark in 2025. He'll look to keep building momentum in a Week 4 road trip to Houston.

Jeremiyah Love RB | ARI
Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Thrives in workhorse role Sunday
Love rushed 21 times for 90 yards and brought in all five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Sunday may have marked the official crowning of Love as the Cardinals' unquestioned lead back, as he took 19 more carries than veteran backup Tyler Allgeier. All of Love's rush attempts, rushing yardage, receptions, receiving yardage and targets were new season-high figures for the rookie first-round pick, who also recorded his first career receiving touchdown on a one-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. Love's draft pedigree and talent always made an ascension to the lead role a matter of when and not if, and it will be interesting to see how the Notre Dame product fares in what could be a favorable Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Ten touches in Week 3 loss
Kamara carried the ball nine times for 36 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders.
The veteran RB once again took a back seat to Travis Etienne to begin the game, but that changed after the former Jaguar aggravated a hamstring strain and left the game in the third quarter. Over the Saints' last five possessions, Kamara split the workload in the backfield with Kendre Miller, getting six touches to Miller's five. The severity of Etienne's injury isn't yet clear, but if he misses significant time, Kamara and Miller would likely continue working in tandem, with rookie CJ Donaldson also potentially mixing in as a short-yardage option.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Records 116 total yards in win
McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 75 yards and a touchdown while bringing in four of five targets for 41 yards in the 49ers' 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
McCaffrey's carry total was modest by his standards, but he still outpaced backup Kaelon Black by 11 carries and four targets while also recording a one-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. McCaffrey was highly efficient with his rushing opportunities, and he finished second in receptions and third in targets for the 49ers on the afternoon. San Francisco's pass-catching corps suffered further attrition this weekend -- Mike Evans exited the game with rib and oblique injuries, while Demarcus Robinson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday -- so McCaffrey could continue to see his pass-game work creep up in a Week 4 home showdown against the Broncos next Sunday.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Vikings' Aaron Jones: Another 20-plus touches Sunday
Jones tallied 17 carries for 58 yards and reeled in five of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win in Tampa Bay.
After dealing with a knee injury during Week 3 prep, Jones continued to lead the Vikings backfield Sunday with Jordan Mason (thumb) on injured reserve. With the help of his first catches of the season, Jones surpassed 20 touches for a second game in a row, a span in which he's turned 45 touches into 197 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, reserve RBs DeeJay Dallas and Demond Claiborne combined for four touches this weekend. Jones may operate with some practice restrictions during Week 4 prep but should remain Minnesota's No. 1 back next Sunday against the Dolphins, assuming he again is available.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Subdued numbers in Week 3 loss
Stevenson rushed seven times for 22 yards and brought in all three targets for 16 yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
As was the case with backfield mate TreVeyon Henderson, Stevenson saw his opportunities on the ground capped to an extent by a game script that saw the Patriots already down 11 by halftime and 25 heading into the fourth quarter. Stevenson was just one carry and rushing yard apiece behind Henderson's workload on the ground, and both backs will look to be more involved in a key Week 4 road matchup against the Bills next Sunday.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Stymied in Week 3 loss
Henderson rushed eight times for 23 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Playing in his second game of the season, Henderson led the Patriots in rush attempts and rushing yards, but each of those figures were only more than those generated by backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson had a much more efficient showing in his Week 2 season debut with a 16-carry, 76-yard, one-touchdown showing against the Steelers, but game script had a significant impact on the volume for both of the Patriots' backs Sunday. Henderson will look to get back on track in a key Week 4 road divisional matchup against the Bills next Sunday.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Rackes up 17 touches in Week 3
Irving notched 15 carries for 46 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 12 yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings.
Irving now has earned at least 15 touches in each of the Buccaneers' first three games of the campaign., but his 58 yards from scrimmage represent a season low to date. In the wake of QB Baker Mayfield dislocating his right throwing thumb late in the contest, it stands to reason that Tampa Bay will rely more on its ground game with undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels likely taking over under center next Sunday against the Packers and potentially beyond that point. In such a scenario, Irving could be poised for more volume, though his efficiency may take a hit due to facing more stacked boxes.

Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Busy again in Week 3 win
Jeanty carried the ball 19 times for 56 yards and caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints.
The second-year back topped 20 touches for a third straight game to begin the season as he settles into a bell-cow role for the Raiders. Jeanty is still looking for his first rushing touchdown of 2026, but he did haul in two TD passes from Kirk Cousins back in Week 1, and through three contests he's amassed 206 rushing yards to go along with his 13-97-2 receiving line on 16 targets. While his yardage has been strong, however, Jeanty's 3.3 YPC leaves a lot to be desired. He may need to be more efficient with his volume in Week 4 at home against Kansas City.
