Davis-Price carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason loss to the Vikings.

The former 49er handled six straight carries to begin the Eagles' opening drive but fumbled the sixth, marring what was otherwise a solid performance in the team's preseason finale. Davis-Price isn't guaranteed a spot on the season-opening roster due to Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley all seemingly having locked into jobs, but he could provide some injury insurance on the practice squad.

Patterson rushed the ball three times for 31 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-24 preseason loss to the Lions.

With Jaylen Warren (hamstring) sidelined, Patterson was the second back on the field behind Najee Harris. Patterson played with both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but his highlight of the game came on the team's first drive, when he ripped through the middle of the field for a 31-yard touchdown scamper. Warren looks likely to be ready for Week 1, but Patterson would likely get extra passing-down work and some occasional carries if Warren is unable to suit up.

Evans rushed 14 times for 45 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans.

Evans split rushing duties with Boston Scott (leg) as the two had been doing all preseason sans starters. The former separated himself from the veteran in this contest by cashing in both of the Rams' rushing touchdowns on the day. The top three spots on the RB depth chart are firm, but Evans could sneak his way onto the roster ahead of Scott as RB4 if the former is not stashed on the practice squad.

Jacobs (coach's decision) was held out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens.

Jacobs made a brief appearance in Green Bay's first exhibition contest, but the team opted to keep its new offensive weapon fresh ahead of Week 1. The 26-year-old barely reached 1,000 total yards from scrimmage in his final season with the Raiders, but his production was likely diminished due to poor offensive game planning combined with the lack of a legitimate passing offense to keep opposing defenses honest. That shouldn't be the case in Green Bay, as the Jordan Love era appears to be trending in the right direction in conjunction with the star running back's arrival. Jacobs should still be considered an early round asset in fantasy drafts as the kickoff of the 2024 season nears.

Gaskin carried the ball 13 times for 61 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Eagles. He also caught two of three targets for six yards.

The veteran running back got the start in the Vikings' exhibition finale, which doesn't bode well for his chances of making the 53-man roster, but he had another productive preseason performance. Gaskin might have been auditioning for other teams due to Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu all being set at the top of the depth chart, but if he does wind up back on Minnesota's practice squad, he seems capable of giving the Vikings reliable snaps if called upon.

McBride carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards and caught two of three targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Eagles.

The 2023 seventh-round pick missed some practice time earlier this week with a minor knee issue, but McBride was healthy for the Vikings' preseason finale and saw action as the second running back into the game after Myles Gaskin. McBride didn't come off the practice squad as a rookie, and with Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu all locked into roster spots, the UAB product may not get a chance to make his NFL regular-season debut in 2024 either.

Harris rushed the ball once for five yards in Saturday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Lions.

Harris played on the opening drive with Russell Wilson under center and received his carry on the opening play of the game. He'll likely head into Week 1 as the top choice in Pittsburgh's backfield for early down work, though the team has continuously played down the significance of Jaylen Warren's hamstring injury. If Warren is able to suit up, he would likely cost Harris significant work as a pass catcher as well as some rushing attempts.

Williams (coach's decision) did not play in any of the Rams' preseason games in 2024.

Head coach Sean McVay held Williams and the rest of the starting unit out of exhibition play this season. The 2023 breakout fantasy star was dealing with a minor foot injury early in training camp, but he does not carry an injury designation heading into Week 1 of the regular season. The underlying concern for Williams' fantasy managers is if rookie third-round pick Blake Corum continues to impress the Rams' coaching staff and cuts into the starter's usage this season. Williams remains the No. 1 option for McVay's fast-paced offense after dropping 1,350 yards from scrimmage and 15 total touchdowns across 12 regular-season games last year.

Scott (leg) carried the ball 11 times for 32 yards in Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans.

Scott picked up a leg contusion in last week's exhibition win over the Chargers, but he wound up missing no game time to the minor setback. The veteran backup has rushed for 155 yards on 37 carries in three games this preseason. Scott is looking to make the team as a depth option behind starter Kyren Williams this upcoming season.

Sanders rushed three times for six yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 31-26 preseason win over the Bills.

Sanders checked in for the second drive with the backups after Chuba Hubbard handled three carries with the first-team offense on the opening drive. Hubbard looks like the starter heading into the Sept. 8 season opener in New Orleans, but Sanders is likely to mix in occasionally, at least until rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) is ready to play. Brooks isn't expected to be available until Week 3 at the earliest.
