Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: Inactive Sunday
White is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
White is thus the odd man out in the Raiders' Week 6 backfield, so Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube are slated to handle the team's RB duties versus Tennessee. With 10 carries for 25 yards and three catches for 19 yards in four games thus far, White is off the fantasy lineup radar.

Emari Demercado RB | ARI
Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Hurts ankle Sunday
Demercado suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game in Indianapolis.
Demercado went to the locker room with a slight limp while favoring his left ankle in the second quarter. He's part of a backfield committee for the Cardinals along with Michael Carter and Bam Knight with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve. Demercado had one carry for one yard and didn't haul in his only target prior to his exit.

Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Exits game with ankle injury
Corum is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to an ankle injury.
Corum was taken to the locker room in the second quarter after sustaining the injury, though it's unclear when he got hurt. The second-year player had carried four times for 14 yards prior to exiting the contest. If Corum is ruled out for the remainder of the game, rookie fourth-round Jarquez Hunter would be next up for backup snaps behind starting running back Kyren Williams.

RJ Harvey RB | DEN
Broncos' RJ Harvey: Six touches in London win
Harvey rushed twice for four yards and brought in all four targets for 21 yards in the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets in London on Sunday.
Harvey once again operated as the clear No. 2 back behind J.K. Dobbins, who significantly outpaced the rookie by 12 carries. However, Harvey continued to enjoy a solid pass-catching role, extending his streak of games with at least three receptions to four contests. Nevertheless, Harvey's persistently modest role will continue to render him as a deep-league-only option and large-field tournament play in DFS formats unless Dobbins sustains an injury.

J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN
Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Stymied by Jets defense
Dobbins carried the ball 14 times for 40 yards and failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.
Denver's entire backfield struggled to find running lanes Sunday, with no tailbacks finishing with a per-carry average higher than 3.0 yards in the win. Dobbins still comfortably led the Broncos with 14 rushing attempts, 12 more than rookie backup RJ Harvey. This was easily Dobbins' worst fantasy score of the season after providing managers with five weeks of consistent RB2 production. The veteran starter has an excellent opportunity to get back on track in Week 7 against the Giants, who currently are surrendering 128.8 rushing yards per game thus far this season.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Big workload in London loss
Hall rushed 22 times for 59 yards and recovered a fumble in the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday in London.
Hall's workload was his largest of the season yet, as the Broncos and Jets engaged in a slugfest where pass protection was at a premium for Justin Fields, who was sacked nine times. Turning to Hall didn't yield particularly encouraging dividends for New York, however, as Denver's talented defense held the running back to a long run of eight yards. Hall had come in on an encouraging two-game stretch where he'd amassed 194 yards on 28 carries against the suspect defenses of the Dolphins and Cowboys, but the notable increase in the caliber of competition Sunday served to neutralize him. Hall and the Jets get an easier assignment in their return stateside, as the Panthers will pay a visit to MetLife Stadium next Sunday for a Week 7 interconference clash.

Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Inactive Sunday
Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
The running back is a healthy scratch for the second straight game, as De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon continue to lead Miami's backfield. Wright has yet to carry the ball in 2025.
-
Raheim Sanders RB | CLE
Browns' Raheim Sanders: Healthy scratch vs. Pittsburgh
Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
The undrafted rookie played three snaps on offense during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Bengals but has not played since. The Browns will go with a three-man backfield of Quinshon Judkins, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson for Sunday's AFC North tilt.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Ready to go for Week 6
Kamara (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
A limited participant in practice throughout the week due to the ankle injury, Kamara took a questionable tag into the weekend but never seemed at major risk of missing Sunday's contest. Now that he's confirmed as available for the Week 6 contest, Kamara should continue in his usual role as the Saints' lead option out of the backfield. Though Kamara's name has popped up in trade rumors as the 1-4 Saints navigate what looks to be a rebuilding season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that the 30-year-old back told general manager Mickey Loomis that he would like to remain with the franchise for the duration of his career. The Saints are expected to honor Kamara's request and hold on to him ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline, even though multiple contending teams would likely be in the market for his services.

Michael Carter RB | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Carter: Expected to lose touches to Knight
Bam Knight is expected to take on a bigger workload out of the Cardinals backfield alongside Michael Carter and Emari Demercado in Sunday's game against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Per Schefter, in a game that QB Jacoby Brissett is expected to start in place of Kyler Murray (foot), Knight -- who logged five touches in last week's 22-21 loss to the Titans -- is expected to see an expanded role, with Schefter suggesting that Knight is on track to work ahead of Carter, who had 23 touches versus Tennessee. With that context in mind, and with Demercado (three carries Week 5) also in the mix, Carter profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option Sunday.
