Washington rushed seven times for 41 yards in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

After Ashton Jeanty dealt with an ankle sprain for the previous month, it was unclear if the Raiders would dial things back with their star running back. Jeanty went on to handle a full workload, rushing 23 times for 102 yards, while also leading the team in catches and receiving yards with a 6-45-2 line. Washington looked good on his seven chances, but it's clear Jeanty is healthy, making Washington a mere bench stash in fantasy.

Marks rushed nine times for 42 yards and caught his lone target for a two-yard loss in the Texans' 36-31 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

While David Montgomery stole the headlines with three total touchdowns, Montgomery wasn't exactly efficient with his 20 carries, turning them into just 60 yards (3.0 YPC). Marks averaged 4.7 yards per carry with his nine attempts and actually out-snapped his veteran backfield mate 40 to 39 and ran 20 routes to Montgomery's 14, proving the 50-50 split talk from the summer to be true in the season opener. Marks remains an elite fantasy bench stash with some standalone value as an RB3 during bye weeks.

Robinson rushed nine times for 31 yards in the Falcons' 20-13 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

As expected, Robinson spelled Bijan Robinson and was a non-factor in the passing game, as Bijan out-carried him 21 to nine and out-targeted Brian 10 to zero. Brian has no standalone fantasy value but is a preferred bench stash as the next man up in the Atlanta backfield.

Mason rushed 15 times for 59 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers.

Mason had three more carries than Aaron Jones, and neither of Minnesota's top two running backs recorded a catch. Jones and Mason each had a short touchdown run as the Vikings compiled 22 unanswered fourth-quarter points, with Mason's coming on a one-yard run with 4:48 to play. Mason set a career high with six rushing touchdowns during the 2025 regular season while rushing for 758 yards in his first year with the Vikings following a three-year stint in San Francisco. Jones and Mason are expected to split carries again in Week 2 at Chicago.

Lloyd rushed 13 times for 37 yards and didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.

Lloyd worked ahead of Chris Brooks (seven carries for 29 yards) in a Packers backfield that struggled to generate much in the absence of Josh Jacobs (personal), who is on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Jordan Love threw 42 passes compared to 20 combined carries for Lloyd and Brooks, even though Green Bay led for most of the game prior to being outscored 22-0 in the fourth quarter. Lloyd looks poised to handle double-digit touches again in Week 2 against the Jets.

Jeanty rushed 23 times for 102 yards and secured all six targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Jeanty shook off the ankle injury that had plagued him for weeks leading into Week 1 by handling a voluminous workload with impressive efficacy. He set the pace for the Raiders in both rushing and receiving yards on the afternoon, and he shared the team lead in receptions as well. The 2025 first-round pick's pair of receiving scores were each from 13 yards out and transpired in the second and third quarters. With his health apparently no longer in question and Las Vegas' offense looking crisp in its first game under head coach Klint Kubiak's scheme, Jeanty's prospects are bright heading into a Week 2 road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Achane rushed 11 times for 36 yards and brought in four of five targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Achane ceded only one carry to backup Jaylen Wright, but the former's opportunities on the ground were limited due to a game script that saw the Dolphins trailing throughout. Achane did finish second in receptions and third in targets for Miami on the afternoon, and his 15 touches were tops among all of the team's skill-position players. He should continue to enjoy a solid floor in terms of his workload each week, as even if the Dolphins are frequently in scenarios similar to Sunday's, his prowess as a receiver projects to consistently keep him on the field.

Rodriguez rushed six times for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Bhayshul Tuten got the start and out-snapped Rodriguez by a 28-23 margin and out-carried him 15 to six in one of the friendliest rushing environments the Jaguars will see all season after Jacksonville jumped out to a 31-0 lead early in the third quarter. The lack of volume and production from Rodriguez in this spot is concerning for his fantasy viability moving forward, as Tuten seemed to have the clear upper hand and averaged 4.4 yards per carry to Rodriguez's 3.8 mark. Tuten also caught a 22-yard pass, while Rodriguez didn't see a target. It was clear against Cleveland that Tuten is the preferred fantasy option in this backfield.

Love rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for nine yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

The rookie had been managing a high-ankle sprain for several weeks, but Love looked to be at full health when he capped off the Cardinals' first possession of the season with a five-yard scoring run around left end. Love found running room mostly at a premium the rest of the afternoon, and he ultimately finished with six fewer carries than veteran backfield mate Tyler Allgeier. Nevertheless, Love's usage also may have been the byproduct of a cautionary approach due to the first-round pick's lack of practice time this summer, and the Notre Dame product therefore could be in store for a larger workload in a Week 2 home showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Hampton rushed 12 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and lost a fumble in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Hampton and the Chargers looked ready to roll early in the alarming loss, as the second-year back answered Arizona's opening-drive touchdown with a hard-charging eight-yard scoring run with 4:22 remaining in the first quarter. He was very quiet from that point forward, however, and his lost fumble at Arizona's 34-yard line on the following possession cost Los Angeles both a potential scoring opportunity and led to a Cardinals field goal. Hampton also was surprisingly shut out of any pass-catching opportunities, but he should have a good chance at a larger workload in a Week 2 divisional home clash against the Raiders next Sunday.
