Hubbard rushed 10 times for 64 yards and brought in four of five targets for 12 yards in the Panthers' 26-3 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Hubbard's team-leading rushing yardage total was the only statistical performance of note for the hapless Panthers. The fourth-year back had been held to 14 yards on six carries Week 1, so Sunday's numbers represented a breakout performance of sorts. Hubbard figures to keep finding rushing yards hard to come by most weeks if Bryce Young continues to struggle, but he'll try to carry over the momentum of Sunday's impressive showing into a Week 3 road matchup against the Raiders.

Dowdle carried the ball seven times for 30 yards and caught four of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints.

The Cowboys used a backfield committee once again, but Dowdle got the start and saw 11 touches to Ezekiel Elliott's eight, and he out-gained the veteran, 59 scrimmage yards to 32. Neither back has separated himself from the other so far, making both unappealing fantasy options heading into a Week 3 tilt against the Ravens.

Montgomery rushed 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

Montgomery scored his second one-yard touchdown in as many games in the third quarter, but he was otherwise outplayed by Jahmyr Gibbs, who turned 20 touches into 106 scrimmage yards. While Gibbs gets occasional goal-line opportunities, Montgomery gets most of his value from his short-yardage proficiency, as the former Bears running back has 15 rushing touchdowns in 16 regular-season games since joining the Lions. Montgomery will try to extend his season-opening touchdown streak in Week 3 against Arizona.

Henry rushed 18 times for 84 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 12 yards in the Ravens' 26-23 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Henry's afternoon was highlighted by a 29-yard run, and he grinded out 55 yards on his other 17 totes. One of those was a three-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, his second score in as many games in a Ravens uniform. Henry has yet to hit the 20-carry mark with his new squad, but he'll hope to take advantage of a Cowboys defense that surrendered four total touchdowns to the Saints' Alvin Kamara when he faces them in a Week 3 road matchup.

Kamara carried the ball 20 times for 115 yards and three touchdowns and caught two of three targets for 65 yards and a fourth touchdown in Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys.

The veteran running back found the end zone on runs of five, 12 and seven yards in the rout, but his receiving score was his most impressive scamper, as he took a screen pass 57 yards to the house in the second quarter. Kamara has been a perfect match for new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's scheme, and he's topped 100 scrimmage in both of his first two games to begin the season while racking up five total scores. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 3 home clash with the Eagles.

Gibbs rushed 13 times for 84 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

Gibbs kept Detroit's hopes alive with a 23-yard run to convert on 4th-and-1 with 1:23 remaining, but he was tackled short of the line to gain on a fourth-down catch 30 seconds later. Gibbs out-gained David Montgomery by 49 yards on the ground and also got seven of the 12 targets among Lions running backs (four for Montgomery, one for Sione Vaki), but Montgomery got the opportunity to punch in a one-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter and capitalized on it. Despite being Detroit's 1B option by the goal line, Gibbs should remain heavily involved Week 3 against the Cardinals thanks to his versatility and explosiveness.

Jones rushed nine times for 32 yards and secured five of six targets for 36 yards in the Vikings' 23-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Jones saw backfield mate Ty Chandler outpace him by one carry, although the former had a sizable pass-catching role while the latter was not involved as a receiver. Nevertheless, Jones' longest catch of the afternoon, an 18-yarder late in the third quarter, resulted in a fumble at the 49ers' two-yard line that San Francisco recovered. The miscue could have been critical in a tight game, and it remains to be seen if it will cost Jones any opportunities in a Week 3 home matchup against the Texans. The veteran saw only one more touch following the loose ball, but Judd Zulgad of VikingsWire.com reports Jones was shaken up after that carry and examined for a possible rib issue before being seen running on the sideline afterwards.

Mason took 20 carries for 100 yards and a rushing touchdown while bringing in his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.

Mason followed up his impressive Week 1 fantasy performance (28/147/1) with another game of 100-plus rushing yards and his second touchdown of the season. Savvy fantasy managers who snagged Mason when starter Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) and backup Elijah Mitchell (knee) were ruled out prior to last week's win over the Jets have been rewarded handsomely. What appeared to be a hot short-term add is beginning to look like an league-changing acquisition after the aforementioned CMC was placed on injured reserve prior to Sunday's defeat (Week 7 earliest potential return). Mitchell has been ruled out for the entire year, so Mason is set to occupy the lead role in Kyle Shanahan's vaunted zone-run offense for roughly the first half of the fantasy campaign. It would behoove GMs in all fantasy formats to make sure that the Georgia Tech product is not lingering on their league's waiver wire ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Rams.

White rushed 10 times for 18 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.

White exited in the first half due to a groin injury but promptly returned, though it's possible the injury contributed to his inability to find any running room against Detroit's stout front seven. He's off to a painfully slow start on the ground, averaging fewer than 2.0 YPC through two games, with only 49 yards on 25 carries. A Week 3 home game against the Broncos could be just what White needs to get back on track, assuming he's healthy enough to suit up.

Hall rushed 14 times for 62 yards while catching seven of eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

A 30-yard run and a wide receiver-like 26-yard touchdown catch two plays apart in the third quarter accounted for a substantial chunk of Hall's production. Backup running back Braelon Allen scored two touchdowns on nine touches, but Hall's still the clear top dog in New York's backfield. Hall has racked up 21 touches in each of the Jets' first two games, and his ability to contribute as both a rusher and a pass catcher should help keep him heavily involved on a weekly basis regardless of game script. After splitting two games on the road, Hall and the Jets will play their first home game of the season Thursday against the Patriots.
