  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Questionable to return

    Tracy is considered questionable to return to Monday's matchup with the Steelers due to a shoulder injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Tracy had nine carries for 35 yards compared to Devin Singletary's one rush for seven yards prior to exiting. However, Tracy was shaken up late in the first half. Singletary would presumably take on RB1 responsibilities should Tracy be unable to return.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Scores in blowout loss

    Charbonnet rushed three times for four yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills. He also caught three of four targets for 20 yards.

    Charbonnet handled 22 offensive snaps compared to Kenneth Walker's 25 snaps, which translated to 45 yards on 13 touches. It's encouraging that Charbonnet received a goal-line touch, but it's worth noting the Seahawks were trailing 31-3 at the time. Charbonnet has been quite inefficient this year with 3.5 yards per carry, and he'll continue to have limited upside as long as Walker is healthy.

  • Joshua Kelley RB | TEN

    Joshua Kelley: Reverts to practice squad

    Kelley reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday.

    Kelley was active for Sunday's loss to the Lions with Tyjae Spears (hamstring) out but didn't see any playing time. Kelley could be elevated again Week 9 versus the Patriots if Spears remains sidelined.

  • Jake Funk RB | JAC

    Jake Funk: Returns to practice squad

    Funk reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday.

    Funk was active but did not play in the team's 30-27 loss to the Packers in Week 8. He operated as a depth option behind Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson at running back against Green Bay and could do so again Sunday in Philadelphia if Travis Etienne (hamstring) remains unavailable.

  • Will Shipley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Will Shipley: Rushes twice in garbage time

    Shipley carried the ball twice for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Bengals.

    Shipley got the ball on both of his offensive snaps, both of which came on the Eagles' final drive with the team already up three scores. On the first play, he thought he had reached the end zone for his first career touchdown, only to have the run brought back by an offensive hold. His season totals now sit at 10 carries for 12 yards, all of which have come in garbage time over the last two weeks.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Five carries in 20-point win

    Gainwell carried five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Bengals.

    Gainwell had just one carry until the second half of the fourth quarter but got a handful of opportunities late after the Eagles had put the game out of reach. The Eagles have won their last two games by a combined 45 points, resulting in Gainwell's two biggest workloads of the year, but don't be surprised if he's limited to two or three touches the next time the team is in a close game.

  • Dalvin Cook RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dalvin Cook: Moves back to practice squad

    Cook reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Cook waited until Week 8 to make his Dallas debut, and it happened to coincide with Rico Dowdle sitting out Sunday's loss to the 49ers due to an illness. Even with the potential opportunity in front of him, Cook (17 of 62 offensive snaps) took a back seat to Ezekiel Elliott (28) and Hunter Luepke (25) out of the Cowboys backfield. Elliott (11) and Cook (seven) handled most of the touches (Luepke had one carry). Assuming Dowdle is able to put his ailment behind him ahead of Sunday's game in Atlanta, he seemingly would retake the reins of the team's running game, with Elliott and an elevated Cook likely mixing in behind him.

  • Ray Davis RB | BUF

    Bills' Ray Davis: Minimal role in easy win

    Davis had six carries for 29 yards and was not targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.

    After two weeks of big production -- which probably came at a cheap value in the fantasy world -- the fourth-round rookie took a clear back seat Week 8 while starter James Cook ran wild over the Seattle defense for 133 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. Davis did see action on 22 percent of the offensive snaps for the second straight week, but no matter how well Davis has been performing, this is a good reminder that this is not a timeshare in Buffalo. At the very least, Davis has used October to put himself clearly ahead of Ty Johnson (no carries Week 7 or Week 8) as the No. 2 option in the Buffalo backfield.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Has drop on only target

    Goodson had a drop on his only target in Sunday's loss at Houston.

    Goodson played just two snaps on offense, as he and Trey Sermon will have limited backup roles with the return of Jonathan Taylor from an ankle injury. Goodson appeared to move ahead of Sermon in the backfield mix last week with Taylor out, but Sermon played 10 snaps Sunday with Taylor playing 52 snaps. Goodson's pass drop won't help him work his way into the backfield mix as the receiving back, either.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Colts' Trey Sermon: Back to limited role on offense

    Sermon had one reception for 14 yards and no carries in Sunday's loss at Houston.

    With the return of Jonathan Taylor from an ankle injury, Sermon moved to a limited backup role. Sermon played on just 10 of the offense's 64 snaps while Taylor played on 52 snaps and Tyler Goodson played on two snaps. Sermon likely will have a minimal role while Taylor is healthy.
