Allen played nine offensive snaps and saw one target in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

Allen saw 21 fewer offensive snaps than Bhayshul Tuten and four fewer than Chris Rodriguez in Sunday's loss. The No. 3 running back could conceivably eat into Rodriguez's opportunities over the course of the season, but that still isn't likely to afford him much more opportunity.

McLaughlin logged one carry for three yards and could not catch his sole target in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.

McLaughlin saw just eight offensive snaps in Sunday's win. The running back was signed to the active roster from the practice squad last Tuesday after Dylan Sampson (knee) was placed on injured reserve. McLaughlin appears set to fill a depth role behind Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders until Sampson is able to return.

Sanders caught his sole target for seven yards, had two rushes for four yards and returned two kickoffs for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.

Sanders played 11 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. Despite the small snap share, Sanders found plenty to do in Cleveland's first win of the season, making key plays for both the offensive and special-teams units.

Shipley turned seven carries into 24 yards and caught both of his targets for five yards during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Both Shipley and Tank Bigsby operated in larger roles in the Eagles' backfield after Saquon Barkley left in the first quarter due to a shoulder stinger. During that time that Barkley was off the field, Shipley operated as the clear RB2 behind Bigsby, with his seven carries being his most in a game since 2024. If Barkley is not cleared to play in Week 3, Shipley would split the backfield workload with Bigsby.

Dillon handled three carries for minus-3 yards during Sunday's 34-3 win at Atlanta. He also recorded a tackle in punt coverage.

Dillon once again was not really involved in Week 2 until the game was well in hand, although this time the lopsided result was in the Panthers' favor, and the Falcons evidently knew the run was coming. Carolina may have to lean on him more in Week 3 if 2024 second-rounder Jonathon Brooks (groin) ends up being unavailable.

Johnson compiled eight carries for 32 yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win versus the Jets.

Johnson appeared in 16 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps against the Jets, ending behind Chris Brooks (27) and tying with starter MarShawn Lloyd (16). However, none of them could get anything going, with all three players combining for 63 yards off 18 attempts. Johnson had plenty of hype entering his rookie season with the Steelers in 2025, though he wasn't very involved. With Josh Jacobs (personal) on the Commissioner's Exempt List, there will be snaps up for grabs. While that could mean more involvement from Johnson moving ahead, it seems as if head coach Matt LaFleur will continue to have all three players split carries, which isn't good news for fantasy managers, especially those looking to fill the void left by Jacobs' absence.

Brooks tallied four carries for 11 yards and caught one of two targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win versus the Jets.

Brooks was on the field for 27 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps Week 2, with Kaleb Johnson and MarShawn Lloyd each logging 16. However, Brooks ceded carries to both players, and he tied Lloyd with two targets. The 26-year-old has totaled 40 yards off 11 carries (3.6 YPC), adding one catch for 15 yards in his two regular-season appearances in 2026. While Josh Jacobs (personal) sits on the Commissioner's Exempt List, there will continue to be opportunities for Brooks, Lloyd and Johnson, though it appears head coach Matt LaFleur is content with a timeshare, lowering the ceiling for all of them moving ahead, including the Week 3 meeting with Atlanta.

Gordon rushed three times for seven yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers.

The running back wasn't targeted in the passing game and saw some increased action after Jaylen Wright exited the game with a neck stinger. Neither back has much fantasy value outside of being an end-of-bench stash in the event something happens to De'Von Achane. The offense is bad enough that neither Gordon nor Wright would even be useful if Achane did go down.

Davis didn't have any output in the box score during the Jets' overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Davis didn't see any playing time on offense for the second straight week, as Breece Hall and Braelon Allen once again handled the ground attack. While the 24-year-old did manage to record a tackle across his 22 special-teams snaps, he will likely continue to serve in a limited role unless Hall or Allen gets hurt.

Patterson was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday, Craig Peters and Rob Kleifield of the team's official website report.

Patterson will get a chance to prove himself with Minnesota after opening the season as a free agent. The running back compiled 159 yards on 41 carries while catching three of four targets for eight yards over six regular-season contests with the Chargers in 2025. Wide receiver Trayvon Rudolph was cut from the Vikings' practice squad in a corresponding move.
