  • 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.

  • Chargers' Keaton Mitchell: Efficient with limited touches

    Mitchell rushed five times for 24 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders.

    Mitchell operated as a distant No. 2 option in the backfield, logging 17 snaps on offense while starter Omarion Hampton was on the field for 43 of the team's 68 offensive snaps. Mitchell was able to make the most of his opportunities, averaging 4.8 YPC while reeling in his first catch of the season. The running back also added 47 yards on two kickoff returns in the contest. Mitchell has shown enough to be worth a stash in deeper fantasy leagues, but he will continue to have a limited ceiling as long as Hampton is active.

  • Travis Homer RB | PIT

    Steelers' Travis Homer: Reverts to practice squad

    Homer reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Homer is likely to be elevated again for the Steelers' Week 3 matchup against the Bengals due to the injury to Rico Dowdle (toe). Homer had two carries for 16 yards coupled with 10 special-teams snaps in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. The veteran back should serve as the No. 3 backfield option behind Jaylen Warren and Eli Heidenreich if Dowdle cannot suit up for next Sunday's contest.

  • Titans' Nicholas Singleton: Four carries in regular-season debut

    Singleton rushed four times for 10 yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Singleton made his regular-season debut with Tennessee after being a healthy scratch Week 1 versus the Jets. The running back played six of the team's 53 offensive snaps, far fewer than starter Tony Pollard (29) and top reserve option Tyjae Spears (19). All four of Singleton's carries came on the same possession in the third quarter, and he also logged six snaps with the special-teams unit during the contest. Singleton will remain an unappealing fantasy option as long as Pollard and Spears are active.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Logs 70 yards against Philadelphia

    Spears turned seven carries into 41 yards and brought in both of his targets for 29 yards during the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Spears was on the field for only 19 of the Titans' 53 offensive snaps (35.8 percent) and saw noticeably less playing time than lead back Tony Pollard (29 snaps). That said, Spears managed to accumulate 70 yards on nine touches, his most yards in a game since Week 16 of the 2025 season against the Chiefs (105). The fourth-year pro also helped the Titans take the lead late with a 27-yard carry on third-and-22, ultimately leading to a 33-yard field goal from Joey Slye four plays later. The Titans will hit the road for the first time this season Week 3 against the Giants.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Considered day-to-day

    Wright (neck) is day-to-day heading into Week 3, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Wright suffered a stinger during Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers, and he finished his day having turned two carries into 11 yards while also adding 79 kickoff-return yards. The running back's status at the team's first practice of the week Wednesday will shed some more light on his chances to play Week 3 versus the Chiefs.

  • Najee Harris RB | NYG

    Giants' Najee Harris: Active for Week 2

    Harris is active for Monday's game against the Rams, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

    Harris was a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the Cowboys, but the sixth-year pro will suit up for Monday's road game in Los Angeles. Cam Skattebo will lead the Giants backfield, and Devin Singletary should serve as the team's change-of-pace back, but Harris could see more snaps on offense than Tyrone Tracy, given that the latter coughed up a fumble last week against Dallas.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Only three touches in Week 2 win

    Perine logged two carries for six yards and hauled in his lone target for 16 yards during the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Perine's three touches were well behind starter Chase Brown's 25, with the former playing 24 of 60 offensive snaps (40.0 percent). Perine's 16-yard catch midway through the third quarter converted a third-and-7 for the Bengals and led to an 18-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase five plays later. Perine is up to 72 scrimmage yards through two regular-season games and is firmly entrenched as the Bengals' RB2 behind Brown. Up next is a Week 3 AFC North tilt against the Steelers, whose defense gave up 119 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries between TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson in a Week 2 loss to the Patriots.

  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: Dealing with ankle injury

    Robinson was listed as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice due to an ankle injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    The ankle issue is a new concern for Robinson, who has thus far parlayed 22 touches for 98 total yards through the first two games of the season while operating in a backup role behind Bijan Robinson. Brian Robinson will have two more chances to potentially upgrade to full practice activity, which would clear the way for him to play Thursday at Green Bay.

  • Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Week-to-week with groin injury

    Brooks is considered week-to-week while he receives further medical opinions on the groin injury he sustained in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

    The Panthers are unlikely to provide a formal update on Brooks' status until he gets checked out by multiple doctors, but the running back appears destined to miss time after tweaking the same groin that he first injured during training camp. Brooks had been operating as the clear No. 2 option out of the backfield behind Chuba Hubbard through the first two weeks of the season, logging 19 and 33 percent snap shares in those contests while carrying nine times for 30 yards and recording two catches for 43 yards on three targets.
