Singletary rushed 16 times for 65 yards and a touchdown, caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns.

Singletary scored a first-quarter rushing touchdown for a second consecutive week, this time getting across the goal line from one yard out. He finished the first half with only three rushing yards on six carries, though, and Singletary lost his second fumble in as many games on his first carry after halftime. After being bottled up on the ground for most of the game, Singletary broke through for a 43-yard burst on the final play before the two-minute warning but unselfishly slid down at the 1-yard line, which allowed the Giants to kneel out the clock and clinch their first win of 2024. Singletary also finished third on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards behind wide receivers Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, so the running back's contributing in all facets on offense heading into Thursday's home game against the Cowboys.

Irving rushed nine times for 70 yards and brought in all three targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 27 yards.

Irving outdid backfield mate Rachaad White on the ground by a comfortable margin, with the latter mustering only 17 yards on six carries. Irving displayed some shiftiness and quickness during his game-long 32-yard run, traits that White hasn't displayed on any run yet through three games. Given Sunday's results, it appears Irving may be in the midst of a takeover of the lead-back job from White, with the two possibly swapping depth-chart slotting going into a Week 4 home matchup against the Eagles.

Ford rushed 10 times for 37 yards and caught three of four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.

Ford had four first-half carries for four yards while no teammate recorded more than one first-half rushing attempt as the Browns took a 21-7 deficit into the locker room. He finished the game with 10 carries compared to only two for D'Onta Foreman, and Ford posted the second-highest receiving yardage total on the team thanks to a 24-yard catch in the second half. Ford has posted between 64 and 70 scrimmage yards in each of Cleveland's first three games, and he should continue to lead the team's backfield in Week 4 against the Raiders since Nick Chubb (knee) is ineligible to come off the PUP list until Week 5 at the earliest.

White rushed six times for 17 yards and brought in five of six targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

White posted another highly inefficient rushing line, his third in as many games with under 2.9 yards per carry. While he was a frequent outlet target for Baker Mayfield due to the relentless pressure he suffered at the hands of the Broncos defense, White barely got anything going through the air. White also was outperformed and outpaced in touches by backfield mate Bucky Irving by a wide margin -- the rookie gained 70 yards on his nine carries and added a 3-14-0 line through the air -- perhaps signaling a long-term shift in hierarchy at the position heading into a Week 4 home battle against the Eagles.

Barkley rushed 17 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all four targets for nine yards in the Eagles' 15-12 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also recorded a two-point conversion rush.

Barkley's final line was a throwback to some of his best days with the Giants, and it was largely built on a breakaway 65-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter that served as the first trip to the end zone for either team on the day and showcased his signature breakaway speed. However, Barkley's second touchdown, while much less spectacular from four yards out, was critical, as it erased a 12-7 deficit with 1:01 remaining and was immediately followed by Barkley's two-pointer that gave Philadelphia a key three-point lead. The 27-year-old already has a pair of 100-yard, two-touchdown games over his first three contests in an Eagles uniform, affording him plenty of fantasy steam heading into a Week 4 road battle against the Buccaneers.

Edwards carried the ball three times for nine yards in the 20-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

It's a dramatic fall-off in touches for Edwards after he tallied 29 carries through the previous two weeks, although he averaged just 2.9 yards a carry on those looks. It's entirely possible the game plan was heavily reliant on the elusiveness and vision of J.K. Dobbins, who didn't do much with his 15 carries (44 yards), but the uneven split is something to monitor with Dobbins excelling to start the season, Sunday notwithstanding.

Dobbins carried the ball 15 times for 44 yards and also caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in the 20-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Dobbins' platoon backfield partner, Gus Edwards, saw just three carries in this one as the game plan seemed reliant on Dobbins' shiftiness to make yardage out of nothing. While he was excellent against first contact, the overall offense clearly seemed outmatched against the Steelers, and that became increasingly more apparent after Justin Herbert left in the second half due to an ankle injury. It likely won't get a whole lot easier against the Chiefs next week, especially if star rookie tackle Joe Alt misses time after he suffered a lower-body injury late in the loss.

Charbonnet will serve as the Seahawks' No. 1 running back Sunday versus the Dolphins with Kenneth Walker (oblique) inactive, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Cherbonnet is getting a second spot start in a row in place of Walker, who injured his oblique Week 1. Walker made his return to practice Friday as a limited participant, indicating he's making progress in his recovery. Still, Charbonnet is in line for another large workload in Walker's stead Sunday, one week removed from turning 67 of 70 offensive snaps into 19 touches for 69 total yards and one rushing TD at New England.

Mostert (chest) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Though Mostert worked in a limited capacity at practice this past week, coach Mike McDaniel expressed pessimism ahead of the weekend regarding the running back's Week 3 playing prospects. Now that he's been made inactive for the second game in a row, Mostert will target a potential return to action Sept. 30 against the Titans. In his continued absence, De'Von Achane should lead Miami's backfield versus Seattle, with Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright also available to mix in.

Walker (oblique) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Dolphins.

Considering the Seahawks listed Walker as doubtful to suit up Sunday due to the oblique injury that he suffered in the season opener, it comes as no surprise that he found himself among the team's Week 3 inactives. Having said that, he displayed some progress in his recovery by running on the side during warmups Thursday and officially returning to practice Friday as a limited participant. Nevertheless, Walker again will cede Seattle's backfield to Zach Charbonnet, who handled 67 of 70 offensive snaps last Sunday in New England on his way to 19 touches for 69 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD.
