Swift rushed nine times for 43 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 30 yards in the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

With Kyle Monangai (toe) inactive, Swift had the clear-cut lead role in the Bears' ground attack Sunday, but game script progressively worked against him. The veteran back was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy day with a one-yard touchdown run just inside the two-minute warning in the first half, his first score since his three-TD day in Week 1 against the Panthers. Swift also posted his second-highest reception, receiving yardage and target totals of the season, and it remains to be seen if he'll get another game without Monangai when the Bears visit the Falcons next Sunday.

Jones rushed 25 times for 113 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for four yards in the Vikings' 23-13 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Jones continued handling the workhorse role in Minnesota's backfield, and he finished Sunday's contest with a new season high in carries despite exiting the game for a spell due to a leg issue. Jones added his second rushing touchdown of the season on an eight-yard run early in the fourth quarter, while the 100-yard effort was his second of the campaign. Sunday marked Jones' backfield mate Jordan Mason's fourth absence while on injured reserve due to a thumb injury, but it remains to be seen if the latter will be ready to suit up and put a dent in Jones' opportunities during a Week 7 home matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Judkins was wearing a walking boot on his right foot after Sunday's 17-12 loss at the Jets, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

It's unclear when Judkins may have suffered the injury, but he paced the Browns backfield in Week 5 with 14 carries for 44 yards while adding three catches (on four targets) for six yards. With reserve RB Raheim Sanders also exiting Sunday's game due to a hip issue, Jaleel McLaughlin emerges as the team's only healthy RB on the active roster.

Allen rushed 24 times for 116 yards and a touchdown while catching one of four targets for no gain in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns.

Allen ran in the go-ahead 22-yard touchdown with 3:01 remaining, and the Jets' defense held twice after that to secure the team's second win of the season. The 2024 fourth-round pick handled lead-back duties for the second consecutive game in the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps), notching 25 touches to Isaiah Davis' three. After reaching 100 rushing yards in a game for the first time in his career, Allen would be in line for another substantial workload in Week 6 against the Patriots if Hall remains sidelined.

Sanders (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

Sanders exited the game in the fourth quarter with a hip injury. The running back rushed three times for 12 yards and caught his sole target for one yard before exiting the contest.

Gordon (undisclosed) checked back into Sunday's game against the Bengals following a brief departure in the fourth quarter, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Gordon went into the medical tent on the Miami sideline to get checked for a potential injury but returned to the game just a few minutes later. The second-year running back looks like he'll be able to finish out Sunday's contest.

Gordon (undisclosed) went to the medical tent during Sunday's game against the Bengals, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Prior to his exit in the fourth quarter, Gordon racked up 73 yards and one touchdown on his 17 carries. For as long as Gordon is sidelined, Jaylen Wright figures to handle the bulk of the backfield reps for the Dolphins.

Pierce carried the ball 11 times for 14 yards and caught two of five targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.

With Saquon Barkley (hamstring) inactive and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on IR, Pierce began the game as the No. 2 running back for the Eagles behind Will Shipley, and he moved into the top spot after Shipley exited the game just before halftime with a foot injury. The result was Pierce's highest touch volume since Week 18 of the 2024 season with the Texans, although his longest gain went for just six yards. The Eagles' offense is struggling overall behind a patchwork offensive line, but if Pierce finds himself as the top healthy RB option in Week 6 against the Panthers, he'll still have some deep-league fantasy appeal.

The Patriots ruled out Henderson (ankle) for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Initially considered questionable to return to the game after leaving in the second quarter due to the right ankle injury, Henderson didn't join the Patriots on the sideline to begin the second half before he was ruled out shortly after the third quarter got underway. He'll finish the afternoon with 22 yards on four carries to go with one catch for 16 yards. With Henderson sidelined for the rest of the contest, the Patriots will be left with Corey Kiner as their lone option behind No. 1 back Rhamondre Stevenson.

Holani (ribs/knee) is active for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the 49ers.

Holani took a questionable tag into the weekend after practicing in limited fashion all week due to a rib injury, and as of Friday, a knee issue as well. Nevertheless, the third-year back will play through both injuries in Sunday's NFC West showdown, when he's expected to operate as a complementary option to current lead back Emanuel Wilson.
