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.

The Giants signed Mafah to their practice squad Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Mafah is headed to New York after being waived by the Cowboys in August. The 2025 seventh-round pick carried the ball five times for 18 yards and a touchdown across one regular-season game during his rookie campaign and will now provide additional depth at running back for the Giants.

The Patriots cut Haskins from their practice squad Monday.

Haskins spent the offseason with New England and eventually joined the team's practice squad after being cut from the active roster in August. The 2022 fourth-round pick carried the ball 17 times for 47 yards across 12 regular-season games with the Chargers last season and will now look to catch on with another team.

Bigsby recorded a three-yard carry and returned two kickoffs for 50 yards during the Eagles' 24-22 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Bigsby entered the regular season as the RB2 on the Eagles' depth chart, though he played only six offensive snaps Sunday, third most among Philadelphia running backs behind Saquon Barkley (39) and Will Shipley (10). Bigsby also played 11 snaps on special teams, and he figures to see most of his playing time as a returner, though that would quickly change if Barkley were to miss time.

Allen turned four carries into 16 yards during the Commanders' 24-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Allen didn't record his first NFL carry until the third quarter, though he did log three rushes for 11 yards during the Commanders' final offensive drive of the game. The rookie sixth-rounder played only seven snaps on offense, well behind fellow running backs Jacory Croskey-Merritt (34) and Rachaad White (29). Allen figures to see limited work out of the Commanders backfield this season unless one or both of Croskey-Merritt and White were to miss time. Washington has another NFC East matchup on tap, a Week 2 road tilt against Dallas on Sept. 20.

Sanders caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and added one carry for one yard in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars. He also returned three kickoffs for 130 yards.

Sanders had an opportunity to mix into the offense after Dylan Sampson (knee) sustained an injury during the Week 1 contest. Sanders played 18 of the 51 offensive snaps for the Browns while also making an impact with his trio of kickoff returns. Quinshon Judkins remains the unquestioned leader of the Browns' ground attack, but Sanders would be in line to serve as his primary backup in a Week 2 road matchup against the Buccaneers if Sampson remains sidelined.

McGowan caught his only target for no gain and notched 164 yards on five kickoff returns during Sunday's 41-23 loss to the Ravens.

McGowan was only on the field for six of the team's 54 offensive snaps while operating as the top reserve option at running back behind Jonathan Taylor. McGowan definitely made his mark on special teams during the contest, but as long as Taylor is healthy, the former will likely have a limited impact on offense.

Saylors made one special-teams tackle and returned two kickoffs for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win against the Saints.

Saylors saw no offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, taking all 24 of his reps with the special-teams unit. Saylors made one tackle on kick coverage and had two short returns in the game, taking on most of the grunt work as the Lions' offense burned bright without him.

Vaki turned two carries into seven yards while also reeling in his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win against New Orleans.

Vaki operated as the Lions' No. 2 option running back in Week 1 behind starter Jahmyr Gibbs, but he didn't really have much of an impact over his 22 offensive snaps. The running back also logged 24 snaps on special teams in the victory. Gibbs will likely continue to dominate the touches in the backfield while Isiah Pacheco (back) is on injured reserve, leaving Vaki as an unappealing fantasy option.

Brooks turned seven carries into 29 yards and failed to haul in his lone target during the Packers' 39-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

With Josh Jacobs (personal) on the Commissioner's Exempt List to open the season, the Packers went with a one-two punch of Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd in the backfield. Brooks' 38 snaps on offense were ahead of Lloyd (30), though the latter led all Packers running backs with 13 carries for 37 yards. Neither RB managed to get anything going in the passing game, so the Packers may just ride the hot hand on a game-to-game basis while Jacobs is sidelined. The Packers will stay on the road for their Week 2 matchup against the Jets on Sept. 20.
