Warren rushed 17 times for 143 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for no gain in the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Warren tied his single-game career high in rushing yards with Sunday's performance, which was partly fueled by a season-long 51-yard run. Warren now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground for the first time this season, and he snapped a brief two-game rushing TD drought Sunday with a one-yard run early in the third quarter that closed out the scoring for the afternoon. Warren is already up to 704 rushing yards on a career-best 5.9 yards per carry heading into a Week 9 road showdown against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15 following a Week 8 bye.

Allgeier reeled off 147 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries and gathered in all five targets for 44 yards and one more TD during Sunday's 33-30 overtime win in Dallas.

Fellow RBs Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Bam Knight (concussion) left in the second and third quarters, respectively, and were unable to return, leaving Allgeier as the only healthy and available backfield option the rest of the way. Allgeier didn't really get going until QB Gardner Minshew took over for Jacoby Brissett late in the third quarter, as the running back recorded a 63-yard touchdown run, another 52-yard carry and a five-yard TD grab on the next two drives to account for most of his output. Considering Love has been dealing with ankle issues for most of the season and already has missed two games, and Knight is subject to the protocol for head injuries, Allgeier may be in line for a boost in workload in the short term.

Watson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Watson will be forced to sit out the rest of Week 8 after sustaining a shoulder injury early in the second half. With Trent McDuffie (back) also banged up, the Rams are rather thin in the secondary versus the Chargers.

Tuten rushed 16 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 55 yards and another score in the Jaguars' 42-7 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Tuten looked refreshed coming out of the Week 7 bye, breaking out for a new single-game career-high rushing total. Tuten also recorded his third rushing touchdown of the season on a rumbling 39-yard run during the second quarter where he broke several tackles, and he added his third receiving score over the last two games with a 25-yard grab as time expired in the third quarter. Tuten is up to 4.5 yards per carry after averaging a season-best 6.5 yards per tote Sunday, and he's added six total touchdowns heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night.

Watson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Watson suffered a shoulder injury early in the second half, and his availability for the stretch run of the team's Week 8 matchup is now uncertain. In his absence, Emmanuel Forbes and Josh Wallace will likely stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

Taylor rushed eight times for 23 yards and brought in four of five targets for 24 yards in the Colts' 42-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Taylor opened the game in his usual starting role with trade rumors swirling around him, and the star running back ultimately finished with a wholly unremarkable performance. Taylor ultimately ceded plenty of snaps to backfield mates Seth McGowan and DJ Giddens, the likeliest heir-apparent candidates if Taylor is indeed moved to another team in coming days. Taylor had exceeded 90 rushing yards in back-to-back games and on five occasions overall heading into Week 8, so even if his Colts tenure finishes with Sunday's whimper, he'll have plenty to offer in a new destination.

Abrams-Draine (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest versus the Chiefs, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Abrams-Draine picked up an ankle injury late in the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Jahdae Barron will operate as Denver's top reserve option behind Pat Surtain and Riley Moss at cornerback against Kansas City.

Sutton briefly left Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Sutton went to the medical tent after taking a hard hit, but the wideout was able to return to action not long after he did so. In the process he'll bolster a Denver Week 9 WR corps that also includes Jaylen Waddle, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Irving rushed 27 times for 170 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 16-0 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

The Buccaneers became the first team since 1974 to win a game without completing a single pass, so Irving was a true one-man wrecking crew as far as the offense was concerned. The talented running back's yardage total was a career-high figure, and the performance was the third of over 100 yards for Irving already this season. The third-year back added his fifth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a four-yard run to close out the scoring with 3:47 remaining, and Irving is now up to 728 rushing yards and 5.0 yards per carry heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Bears next Sunday night.

Smith completed 20 of 32 passes for 290 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders. He also rushed once for four yards.

Smith threw second-quarter touchdown passes of 18 yards to Isaiah Williams and 12 yards to Adonai Mitchell while coming 10 yards shy of his second 300-yard passing performance of the season. The veteran QB had a chance to orchestrate a game-winning drive against his former team, but the Jets' comeback bid came up short when Smith threw an end-zone interception from the Raiders' 35-yard line with seven seconds remaining. Smith has been picked off in each of his last three outings after going without an interception through five starts to open his second tenure with the Jets. He'll take a 12:3 TD:INT into a Week 9 trip to Kansas City.
