Kamara rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught five of six targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens.

It's difficult to be less efficient than this, as Kamara's 14 opportunities produced a total of 22 yards. It was the veteran running back's season debut after he missed the entire preseason and Week 1 recovering from a sprained MCL. Kamara made the start alongside Travis Etienne, who turned his eight carries into 25 yards while securing both of his targets for six yards. The Saints continue to use a full-blown three-man committee out of the backfield, as Etienne led the trio with 37 snaps to Kamara's 20 and CJ Donaldson's 20. Now 31 years old and coming off a knee injury, Kamara may not have a whole lot left in the tank.

Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Johnson could carve out a bigger role on offense as the season goes along, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

"As it goes on, I think you get a nice balance between those two (Johnson and Kenneth Walker), and it keeps them even fresher as the season goes on," Reid said. Johnson handled just four touches on offense in Sunday night's overtime win against the Colts, but he turned them into 35 yards and has looked like a legitimate playmaker two weeks into the 2026 campaign. He's solidified himself as one of the premier fantasy bench stashes at running back behind Walker.

Head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Brooks is having tests done on the groin injury that he sustained during Sunday's 34-3 win in Atlanta, and an update on the running back's health will arrive Wednesday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Prior to leaving the Panthers' Week 2 contest in the fourth quarter, Brooks mustered five carries for 16 yards and one catch for minus-5 yards, while fellow RB Chuba Hubbard had 12 rushes for 53 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards and one TD. Based on Canales' comments, it's unclear if Brooks is in danger of missing any time, but AJ Dillon would be the next player up in the backfield if Brooks needs time on the sideline.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Price suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's win at Arizona, but "it's intact and nothing serious, it seems like," Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

When Price was accompanied by team trainers to the locker room with his pads off during the fourth quarter Sunday, he was considered questionable to return due to a chest issue. Macdonald told Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle afterward that X-rays were returned negative, and additional comments from the head coach one day later indicate the rookie first-round pick may not miss any time. Ultimately, how Price fares in practice Wednesday through Friday will determine his availability for next Sunday's game at Washington. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are the next players up in the Seahawks backfield.

The Broncos believe that Dobbins' injured hamstring is "good" heading into next Sunday's game against the Rams, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

The latest news on Dobbins aligns with what James Palmer of Bleacher Report previously relayed following the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday, when Dobbins made an early exit due to a "slight" hamstring issue. While the Broncos are optimistic that Dobbins won't have to miss any time, his activity during practices Wednesday through Friday will ultimately determine whether he suits up against the Rams. Denver could have all of its key backfield members available for Week 3, as head coach Sean Payton suggested during his press conference Monday that RJ Harvey (hamstring) could return to action after sitting out against the Jaguars, per Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.

The Broncos are optimistic that Dobbins sustained only a minor hamstring injury during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars and will be available to play Week 3 versus the Rams, James Palmer of Bleacher Report reports.

Dobbins has been far from a picture of durability during his seven-year NFL career, but early indications are that his latest setback on the health front isn't anything significant. The Broncos haven't provided word that Dobbins will be sent in for an MRI, and the team likely will use his activity in practices Wednesday through Friday to determine his availability heading into next Sunday's game. With RJ Harvey (hamstring) inactive against the Jaguars and with Dobbins making an early exit, rookie Jonah Coleman (10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown, three catches for 19 yards) ended up finishing the contest as the Broncos' top option out of the backfield.

Walker rushed 24 times for 117 yards and brought in six of 10 targets for 61 yards in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.

Walker had a tall order in front of him in terms of matching his spectacular Chiefs debut against the Broncos on Monday night, but the offseason addition was able to make up for a lower rushing total by putting together a stellar showing as a receiver that included a clutch 22-yard reception on Kansas City's game-winning drive. Walker wasn't shabby on the ground by any stretch, either, and he's quickly amassed 290 rushing yards and his 60-yard touchdown in Week 1 as a runner while also offering plenty of value as a pass catcher with a 9-79-1 line on 16 targets. Walker's workhorse usage underscores how integral he is to the team's offensive plans, making him an elite option in all formats for a Week 3 road matchup against a highly beatable Dolphins defense next Sunday.

Washington rushed three times for seven yards while failing to catch his only target during Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.

Washington was far less efficient with his carries in Week 2, averaging 2.3 YPC after he turned seven carries into 41 yards against the Dolphins in the team's regular-season opener. The running back operated as a distant No. 2 option in the backfield, as Ashton Jeanty logged 21 carries for 48 yards while catching four of seven targets for 15 yards. Washington is nothing more than a bench stash option in fantasy leagues at the moment.

Taylor rushed 24 times for 92 yards and two touchdowns while catching all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

Taylor has started the season with a pair of two-touchdown performances on the ground after leading the league with 18 rushing touchdowns in the 2025 regular season. The star running back broke free for a 24-yard rushing touchdown with 59 seconds left in the first half before adding a five-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to tie the score at 27-27. Taylor is the focal point of Indianapolis' offense, and that's unlikely to change in Week 3, even with Houston's stout front seven coming to town.

White rushed seven times for 43 yards and brought in all six targets for 40 yards in the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

The Commanders fell into catch-up mode throughout the second half, a situation tailor-made for White's pass-catching acumen. The veteran offseason addition saw a hefty workload as a result, recording four more catches on four additional targets than he'd seen in Week 1. White is likely to continue in a complementary role behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt for the time being, but the former figures to continue seeing plenty of run anytime the Commanders are trailing.
