Edwards carried the ball 11 times for 26 yards in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders. He also caught his lone target for two yards.

Edwards led the team in carries Sunday, but it was J.K. Dobbins who stole the show by logging carries of 46 and 61 yards en route to a 135-yard day on just 10 touches. The transplanted Baltimore duo figures to split the work evenly in the majority of games, but it'll be interesting to see if Edwards continues to have the leg up on goal-line opportunities. Dobbins scored the lone rushing touchdown Sunday, but it came on a 12-yard run clearly designed to attack the outside of the defense. Perhaps more crucially for fantasy managers, the explosive back also was the designated receiving back, recording three receptions to Edwards' one.

Dobbins tallied 10 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders. He also caught all three of his targets for four yards.

Dobbins had separate runs of 46 yards and 61 yards in the second half as the run-centric offense finally wore down the Raiders across the final 30 minutes of the contest. The fifth-year running back saw fewer carries than Gus Edwards (11 for 26 yards), but it was clear the scheme called for Dobbins to take the majority of rushes outside, and he also saw an overwhelming majority of the targets out of the backfield. While the 2020 second-round pick was chased down on both of his long runs, his clear burst and acceleration felt reminiscent of his early years with the Ravens before a series of serious knee injuries hurt his career trajectory. Dobbins could be poised for another heavy workload against a Panthers defense that allowed 47 points in Week 1.

Walker suffered an abdominal injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

Walker was subbed out late in the fourth quarter due to abdominal pain. Prior to the injury, he rushed 20 times for 103 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for six yards on three targets. In addition to scoring a 23-yard touchdown in the third quarter, Walker had a would-be six-yard touchdown nullified by a holding penalty on the following drive. Walker's practice participation will be worth monitoring as the Seahawks prepare to face the Patriots in Week 2.

Schrader (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday versus the Lions, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Schrader joined the Rams on Aug. 28 after being waived by the 49ers, so it's not a major surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday. The running back will operate as an extreme depth option behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum in the backfield with Los Angeles this season, likely limiting his chances of being active on game day.

Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

The fifth-year player was the only Colts running back to get a touch in the game, and while QB Anthony Richardson led the team in rushing yards with 56, Taylor capped his day with a five-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Taylor could be in line for a much bigger performance in Week 2 against a Packers defense that got gashed for 132 scrimmage yards and three TDs by Saquon Barkley in its opener.

Robinson rushed the ball 18 times for 68 yards in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers. He added five receptions on five targets for 43 yards.

Robinson had a disappointing day from an efficiency perspective, but there was still good news in terms of his usage. He accounted for 18 of Atlanta's 21 carries out of the backfield and also led the team in receptions. Robinson's 23 touches matched his career high, a mark he reached only two times in his rookie campaign.

Mostert rushed six times for nine yards and brought in two of three targets for 10 yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

As if Mostert's final rushing line wasn't concerning enough, it's worth adding he gained six of his nine yards on one carry. The forgettable day was compounded by the fact fellow back De'Von Achane was the clear preferred option, logging 17 total touches. Even No. 3 running back Jeff Wilson saw only one fewer carry than Mostert, leaving the latter's outlook already murky as a Week 2 home matchup against the Bills approaches Thursday night.

Chandler rushed eight times for 17 yards and brought in all three targets for 25 yards in the Vikings' 28-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Chandler had a robust No. 2 role behind Aaron Jones, seeing only six fewer carries than his new backfield mate and drawing one additional target. The third-year back could remain similarly involved as the season unfolds, considering Jones' veteran status and the goal of keeping him healthy throughout the campaign. Chandler could continue to have some utility in deeper PPR leagues in Week 2, as Minnesota will welcome a 49ers team that could help generate a game script in which the Vikings are trailing in the second half and therefore afford the versatile back plenty of snaps.

Singletary rushed 10 times for 37 yards and caught four of five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

Singletary worked as the lead back in his Giants debut, getting 14 touches while Eric Gray and Tyrone Tracy combined for just six. He's a noticeable downgrade in the backfield from Saquon Barkley, who accounted for 10 of New York's 25 offensive touchdowns last season and scored three in his Eagles debut Friday. Singletary's a near-lock for double-digit touches on a weekly basis, but getting into scoring range looks like it will be a slog for the Giants, who will face the Commanders in Week 2 after failing to get into the end zone in the season opener.

Moss rushed nine times for 44 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of four targets for 17 yards in the Bengals' 16-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

There was no close split in the Bengals' backfield timeshare for Week 1, as Moss outpaced Chase Brown by six carries and 33 rushing yards. The veteran offseason addition also contributed a five-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter, and he saw his opportunities capped by a surprising game script in which Cincinnati trailed throughout. Moss's rushing touches could be limited once again in Week 2, as the Bengals will travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the defending champion Chiefs.
