  • Kaytron Allen RB | MIA

    Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Has five carries in garbage time

    Allen logged five carries for 24 yards in the last 3:01 of Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

    Allen saw just six offensive snaps in Sunday's game, all in garbage time. The game was well out of reach by the time Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White left the field, leaving the sixth-round rookie to gain more NFL experience.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Stymied in Week 2 loss

    Skattebo rushed 12 times for 36 yards and brought in all four targets for 19 yards in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.

    Jaxson Dart's first-half exit due to a knee injury naturally put a damper on the Giants offense as a whole, and Skattebo unsurprisingly faced more stringent fronts than he otherwise would have had Dart been in the game. Skattebo did have a solid passing game role as New York trailed throughout, but with Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reporting Dart has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain, it's possible the second-year back may play at least Sunday's Week 3 home matchup against the Titans without his talented teammate.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Scores receiving TD on efficient night

    Williams rushed 12 times for 85 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

    Williams and backfield mate Blake Corum split the rushing workload right down the middle, and both backs were highly efficient. Williams added a 10-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, but the talented veteran's lost fumble late in the first half on his own 11-yard line led to a Giants field goal. Williams has a rushing and receiving score apiece over the first two games heading into a tough Week 3 road matchup against the Broncos on Sunday night, although his timeshare with Corum does cap his outlook to an extent.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Logs five touches Week 2

    Holani carried four times for 13 yards and caught his only target for two yards Sunday in a 31-7 victory versus the Cardinals.

    Holani got the third-most offensive snaps (18) among Seattle's running backs, trailing Jadarian Price (24) and Emanuel Wilson (29). Price hurt his shoulder and had to exit the game in the fourth quarter, at which point Wilson took over as the clear lead RB and finished with a strong 21-92-0 rushing line. With that said, if Price is sidelined Week 3 versus Washington, Wilson would likely lead Seattle's backfield, though Holani would stand to see increased opportunities as well.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Two carries and two targets in loss

    Hill rushed twice for six yards and caught two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints.

    Hill was on the field for 27 of the Ravens' 58 offensive snaps. The running back saw usage as both runner and receiver, providing a fast contrast to Derrick Henry's bulk. It appears Hill may be on track for more consistent complementary opportunities than last season behind Derrick Henry in Baltimore's new offense.

  • Vikings' Demond Claiborne: Minimal usage in win

    Claiborne caught his sole target for two yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

    Claiborne is the No. 2 running back behind Aaron Jones while Jordan Mason (thumb) recovers on IR. The 22-year-old saw just two offensive snaps in Sunday's game, meaning DeeJay Dallas could have a shot at claiming the backup role from the sixth-rounder in the future.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | MIN

    Vikings' DeeJay Dallas: Catches sole target in tight win

    Dallas rushed twice for eight yards and caught his sole target for 12 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

    Dallas played eight offensive snaps, totaling 20 yards in a game where offense was at a premium. The running back also contributed eight special-teams reps, filling in occasionally while starting rusher Aaron Jones took most of the carries.

  • Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR

    Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Hurts calf Monday

    Rivers has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Giants due to a calf injury.

    It's not clear when Rivers was hurt, but he was ruled out shortly after halftime. Prior to his exit, the Fresno State product didn't log any touches on offense. Kyren Williams and Blake Corum will continue to lead Los Angeles' backfield.

  • Braelon Allen RB | NYJ

    Jets' Braelon Allen: Scores in overtime loss

    Allen rushed five times for seven yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers.

    Allen scored a touchdown in the second quarter of Sunday's game on a five-yard rush. The running back played 23 offensive snaps in the contest, seeing supplemental volume behind No. 1 running back Breece Hall's 47 snaps and 16 carries.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: One snap in loss

    Tucker played one special-teams snap in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Browns.

    Tucker saw no action from scrimmage behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell while making his season debut after missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury. The No. 3 running back will likely continue in a deep reserve role for the Buccaneers' Week 3 matchup with the Vikings.
