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.

Croskey-Merritt rushed 12 times for 43 yards and brought in his only target for five yards in the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

Croskey-Merritt once again functioned as the lead back in the Commanders' ground attack, and he did reasonably well with his opportunities. Washington's offense took a significant hit when Jayden Daniels exited the game with an elbow injury on the final play of the first half, and Croskey-Merritt's opportunities on the ground were also somewhat capped in the second half with the Commanders trying to catch up. Croskey-Merritt should continue helming the run game in a Week 3 home matchup against the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Coleman rushed 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 19 yards in the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

RJ Harvey (hamstring) was inactive and J.K. Dobbins exited the game with a hamstring injury of his own, opening the door for Coleman to enjoy an expanded role in his only his second NFL regular-season game. The rookie fourth-round pick also scored what turned out to be game-winning touchdown on a three-yard run just past the midway point of the fourth quarter, and he could be in line for a robust workload once again in a Week 3 interconference matchup against the Rams next Sunday night if either or both of Harvey and Dobbins are unavailable.

Marks rushed eight times for eight yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals. He added five catches for 27 yards on six targets.

Neither Marks nor David Montgomery (6-10-0 rushing) could get anything going on the ground against Cincinnati, as C.J. Stroud was actually the team's leading rusher with three carries for 29 yards. In the passing game, Marks out-targeted Montgomery six to two, as Montgomery turned in a 2-14-0 receiving line. The backfield duo split snaps essentially right down the middle for the second straight week, as Montgomery played 42 snaps to Marks' 38 against the Bengals. Marks is an RB3/4 heading into Week 3 against the Colts. Montgomery remains the favorite for goal-line work.

Allgeier turned five carries into 10 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.

Allgeier saw a substantial reduction in his rush attempts in Week 2, going from 17 carries Week 1 versus the Chargers to only having five in Sunday's blowout loss. The running back and the rest of Arizona's offense never found any sort of sustained success against Seattle, so he was far from being the only disappointing player in the contest. Notably, rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love garnered four more carries and reeled in one more catch than Allgeier, and the latter figures to fade into a No. 2 role as the season progresses.

Robinson rushed 11 times for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers. He added two catches for 16 yards on two targets.

Eight of Robinson's 13 touches came in the fourth quarter with the Falcons trailing by 31 points. It's evident he's the running back to stash behind Bijan Robinson, but Brian doesn't offer much standalone value in this anemic Atlanta offense.

Tuten rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for minus-3 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Tuten worked as the Jaguars' clear lead back for the second time in as many games to open the season, even though his rushing workload was relatively modest Sunday. Tuten got into the end zone for the first time this season on a one-yard run early in the second quarter, and he was efficient overall against a high-caliber defense. Tuten figures to remain in the same role for a Week 3 home showdown against the defending AFC champion Patriots next Sunday.

Rodriguez rushed six times for 13 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

For the second straight game to open the season, Rodriguez operated as the clear RB2 for the Jaguars behind Bhayshul Tuten, who rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown as the lead back. Tuten also out-targeted Rodriguez two to zero. Through two games, Rodriguez has a meager 36 yards on 12 carries, averaging a pitiful 3.0 yards per carry. He's not usable in fantasy ahead of a tough Week 3 date with New England.
