Shipley recorded two carries for four yards, one catch for eight yards, one kickoff return for 25 yards and one tackle on punt coverage in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Commanders.

The running back actually got more carries than fellow backup Tank Bigsby, but Saquon Barkley unsurprisingly saw the vast majority of work out of Philadelphia's backfield. Shipley can contribute in multiple ways, but he is not a fantasy-relevant running back at this point.

Sampson (knee) is expected to miss "significant time," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Sampson hurt his left knee in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Jacksonville and was on crutches while wearing a brace after the game. It appears that further evaluation on the running back has concluded that Sampson is dealing with a severe injury. It's not yet clear exactly how much time he'll miss, though there's certainly a chance he'll end up on IR. Raheim Sanders likely will take on a bigger role in Sampson's absence, and Jaleel McLaughlin could be summoned from the practice squad.

Laube recorded two fair catches on punts, two kickoff returns for 95 yards and two tackles during Sunday's 27-13 win versus the Dolphins.

Laube only played 10 of Las Vegas' 68 offensive snaps in Week 1, but he had two long kickoff returns, both of which set up Raiders touchdowns. One of his tackles came after a Kirk Cousins interception early in the fourth quarter. There won't be any complaints from the coaching staff about his effort, but fantasy managers probably can't expect reliable production barring an injury ahead of Laube on the running back depth chart.

Johnson returned two kickoffs for 52 yards in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.

Johnson played just two special-teams snaps in the contest, touching the ball on each. The third-string running back did not see a carry behind MarShawn Lloyd or Chris Brooks, but he may have earned a bigger role as a returner in a Week 2 matchup against the Jets.

Tracy recorded two carries for 14 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday night's 28-20 win over Dallas.

Tracy put the ball on the ground on his second rushing attempt of the night, and Cowboys defensive lineman Quinnen Williams recovered the fumble. The running back didn't play another snap on offense the rest of the night. In total, Tracy logged two snaps on offense and nine snaps with the special-teams unit, and he'll enter Week 2 as the team's No. 3 option in the backfield behind Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary.

Gordon played three of the Dolphins' 56 offensive snaps during Sunday's 27-13 loss at Las Vegas.

Gordon also played five snaps on special teams, but he made no mark in the Week 1 box score. It appears Pro Bowler De'Von Achane will likely have a firm hold on the lion's share of the snaps in Miami's backfield for as long as he remains available.

Wright had two kick returns for 106 yards alongside one carry for a one-yard loss in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders.

Wright was an afterthought behind starting running back De'Von Achane, who had 11 carries and five targets in the loss. The No. 2 option likely will make a living as a returner -- he had a 79-yard return Sunday -- with snaps and touches looking minimal behind Achane.

Knight played three offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.

Despite a solid preseason, Knight did not see much action in Sunday's regular-season opener. The running back was simply an emergency option behind first-round rookie Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier. Knight will likely remain in a similar role during a Week 2 home matchup against the Seahawks.

Singletary turned six carries into 16 yards while catching all four of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown during Sunday night's 28-20 win over Dallas.

Singletary made his mark as a pass catcher in Week 1, most notably reeling in a nine-yard score from Jaxson Dart in the fourth quarter. Cam Skattebo paced the backfield with 18 carries, but he didn't garner a target in the contest, and Singletary may siphon off opportunities from Skattebo on obvious passing downs this season.

Davis didn't have any output in the box score during the Jets' win over the Titans on Sunday.

Davis didn't see the field on offense with Breece Hall and Braelon Allen handling the workload at running back. The 2024 fifth-round pick did play 18 snaps on special teams and likely will continue to be limited to a similar role unless either Hall or Allen is forced to miss time.
