Sanders took three carries for one yard and caught one pass for 12 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

The second-year Panther was an afterthought once again in Carolina's Week 6 loss, as Chuba Hubbard posted another efficient near-100 yard rushing performance. Sanders has now seen just eight total touches across the Panthers' last two games, and his workload will likely continue to decrease with Jonathon Brooks (knee) expected to return to practice next week.

Both Moss (foot) and Chase Brown (quadricep) are active for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

Though coach Zac Taylor had previously noted that both players would be good to go for the contest, Brown subsequently was deemed questionable for the contest after being limited at practice Friday. With Brown's active status confirmed, the duo will continue to share backfield work Week 6. Through the first five games of the campaign, Moss has recorded 57 carries for 211 yards and two TDs and caught 15 passes for 124 yards and another score, while Brown has logged 41 carries for 230 yards and two touchdowns and added 10 catches for 39 yards and a TD.

Brown (quadricep) is listed as active for Sunday's game at the Giants, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Though coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that Brown would be good to go for the contest, the running back was ultimately deemed questionable ahead of Week 6 action after logging his second straight limited practice. While Brown's availability versus New York didn't really appear in danger, his official injury report listing nonetheless made his status worth confirming. Now that he's been made active, Brown is in a position to continue to share backfield duties with Zack Moss. With that arrangement in play, during Cincinnati's first five contests this season, Brown has carried 41 times for 230 yards and two TDs and added 10 catches for 39 yards and another score, while Moss has recorded 57 carries for 211 yards and two touchdowns and caught 15 passes for 124 yards and a TD.

Pollard rushed 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for minus-5 yards in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

On a day when Will Levis threw for under 100 yards, Pollard's production on the ground against the Colts' notoriously poor defense was the one bright spot for Tennessee. The veteran running back also recorded his third touchdown of the campaign on an impressive 23-yard run in the third quarter, helping Pollard to a new season high in rushing yardage. Pollard will next take aim at the Bills' defense in a Week 7 road matchup.

Kamara rushed 13 times for 40 yards and a touchdown and brought in five of eight targets for 24 yards in the Saints' 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New Orleans.

Kamara saw reduced rushing volume in a game that progressively got away from New Orleans during the second half, but he still co-led the Saints in receptions during rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler's first NFL start. Kamara also tallied his sixth rushing touchdown of the season on a four-yard run late in the second quarter, rounding out his fantasy day nicely. Kamara could face a more favorable game script during Thursday night's Week 7 home matchup against the Broncos.

Henry carried the ball 24 times for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-23 win over Washington.

The former Titan continues to dominate, scoring multiple touchdowns with 100-plus rushing yards for the third time in the last four games. Henry is well on his way to another rushing crown with a league-leading 704 yards on the ground through six weeks, and his 5.9 yards per carry would be a career high if he can maintain that pace. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 7 against the Buccaneers.

Pierce (hamstring) rushed eight times for 76 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for one yard in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.

Pierce's return from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him since Week 1 coincided with Joe Mixon's (ankle) first action since Week 2. Mixon reclaimed the lead role and scored two touchdowns before Pierce broke off a 54-yard touchdown run to round out the scoring in the fourth quarter. Pierce immediately reclaimed the No. 2 role from Dare Ogunbowale and Cam Akers, but it would likely take another injury to Mixon for Pierce to earn double-digit touches moving forward. With Mixon healthy for a Week 7 road game against the Packers, Pierce will likely be left trying to make the most of limited opportunities again.

Irving rushed 14 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and secured both targets for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 44 yards.

Irving opened the game as the No. 1 back due to Rachaad White (foot) being inactive, and although he was ultimately outshined by a stellar performance from backfield mate Sean Tucker, the rookie still turned in a productive performance. Irving's carry and yardage totals were a career high, and he recorded his second touchdown of the season on a one-yard run in the fourth quarter. Irving will be in line to share backfield duties with either Tucker or White again in a Week 7 home matchup against the Ravens on Monday night, Oct. 21.

Gibson rushed 13 times for 19 yards and caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

Gibson got 13 of the 17 carries by Patriots running backs prior to the final drive in Rhamondre Stevenson's (foot) absence, but the Texans weren't scared at all of rookie quarterback Drake Maye's arm in Maye's first NFL start and focused on shutting down the Gibson-led running game. That approach limited Gibson to a pitiful 1.5 yards per carry and could serve as a blueprint for Jacksonville's defense in Week 7, though the 1-5 Jaguars are unlikely to execute nearly as well when they face the Patriots in London. If Stevenson sits again, Gibson would have a nice opportunity to bounce back as the lead back against a Jacksonville defense that's surrendering 29.7 points per game.

Mixon (ankle) rushed 13 times for 102 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 30 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.

Mixon got two carries from inside the five-yard line on the opening drive but showed some rust in his return from a three-game absence, combining for minus-1 yard on those two attempts. He made no mistake with another red-zone opportunity on the next drive, scoring a 10-yard receiving touchdown to give the Texans a 14-0 lead. Mixon later broke off a 59-yard run in the second quarter and put the game away with a 20-yard touchdown run in the fourth. In the two games he has played from start to finish this season, Mixon has produced a sensational 310 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. His ankle injury seems to be firmly in the rearview mirror heading into a Week 7 road game against the Packers.
