Wilson rushed three times for 14 yards during Miami's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Wilson handled a similar volume to Jaylen Wright (two carries for 17 yards) behind De'Von Achane with Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined again, but the game script didn't favor Miami's running game. The Dolphins' offense struggled mightily with Skylar Thompson (ribs) and Tim Boyle under center versus an aggressive Seattle defense. Wilson and the Dolphins' offense will look to improve in Week 4 against the Titans on Monday Night Football.

Patterson rushed four times for 33 yards while securing three of five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

Patterson was on the field for 34 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, which was tied with fellow backup running back Jaylen Warren. However, Patterson saw more work than Warren and was efficient with his touches. Patterson totaled just 16 rushing yards over the first two weeks of the regular season, but it was encouraging to see him more involved against the Chargers.

Brooks had three carries for three yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

Brooks saw his first work since joining the Packers in early September, but he did not take a carry until Green Bay's final drive when the outcome was all but decided. Brooks will operate as the third running back in Green Bay until MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is ready to return, but he will presumably be a distant third option given the way fellow ball carriers Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson have performed to date.

Sanders rushed seven times for 17 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

After Chuba Hubbard's monster game Sunday, in which he recorded over 150 total yards on 26 touches, Sanders appears to be firmly in Carolina's No. 2 running back role. This is the second week in a row that Sanders has struggled on the ground, accumulating just 37 rushing yards on 14 carries during that time. However, Andy Dalton taking over at quarterback reinvigorated the Panthers' offense, and Sanders could benefit from better opportunities as a result.

Brooks had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota.

Brooks made his debut on offense after serving exclusively on special teams the first two weeks. Even with Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) inactive, Brooks only saw time in the backfield once the game became a blowout.

Taylor had one carry for three yards and caught both his targets for zero yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings in Week 3.

The Texans were down their top two running backs and elevated Taylor from the practice squad for the first time this season. He has a modicum of experience in three seasons with the Patriots and could be around as a fourth back if injuries to Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) linger.

Ogunbowale caught both his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota in Week 3.

Ogunbowale played 26 snaps, serving as the top backup to Cam Akers with both Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) sidelined. Houston also had British Brooks (three snaps) and J.J. Taylor (10) active for the game, but neither had a significant role in the offense.

Foreman had two carries for five yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.

A week after making a significant contribution (14 carries) to the Browns' rushing attack last week, Foreman was reduced to a minor role against the Giants. Cleveland ran the ball just 18 times Sunday, the second time in three weeks the offense didn't reach the 20-carry mark. Starter Jerome Ford lugged the rock just 10 times. It's telling that in the team's lone win, it committed to the run -- 29 carries in a Week 2 win over Jacksonville.

Spears rushed the ball two times for seven yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers. He added four receptions on four targets for 54 yards.

Spears was active despite being on the injury report throughout the week due to an ankle injury. He had only seven yards from scrimmage and no catches at halftime, though he managed to spark a touchdown drive with a 29-yard catch midway through the third quarter. Spears remains firmly behind Tony Pollard in opportunity out of the Tennessee backfield.

Wilson rushed the ball 12 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Titans. He added two receptions on two targets for 35 yards and a touchdown.

Wilson stepped into a more significant role with MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) out, and he delivered as Green Bay's most effective running back. His most impactful play came midway through the third quarter on a 31-yard screen that Wilson took to the house for the first touchdown of his career. Josh Jacobs was shut down by Tennessee to open the door for Wilson, but Wilson will remain firmly behind Jacobs on the depth chart despite the impressive performance.
