Charbonnet rushed four times for eight yards and caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens.

Charbonnet out-snapped Kenneth Walker for the second straight week, although Walker led the backfield in touches, turning nine carries into 16 yards and catching a pass for a one-yard gain. Walker may have been battling an injury last week that limited his workload, but he wasn't on the injury report for Week 9. Instead, it appears Charbonnet was called on more because he's the better pass catcher and this game turned against Seattle early. This backfield could flip in the rookie's favor at any moment, but it's still going to be tough to trust him for fantasy purposes until he actually begins to handle more touches than Walker.

Wilson had four carries for 43 yards in Sunday's 20-3 victory over the Rams.

A 31-yard burst late in the contest gave Wilson's YPC mark a healthy boost, but he did not see a carry until the game's final drive and was easily outpaced in the snap count department by both Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. It's not out of the question that Wilson steals some snaps from Dillon over the remainder of the season, but heading into Week 10 he remains the clear third option on the depth chart.

Dillon had nine carries for 40 yards and one reception for three yards in Sunday's 20-3 victory over the Rams.

Dillon played more snaps than any other Packers running back in each of the team's first seven games, but his snap count percentage declined for the fourth time in as many games in Week 9, and he wound up playing fewer than 40 percent of the snaps for the first time all season. With fellow running back Aaron Jones having gotten gradually healthier, recording a season-high 24 touches Sunday, Dillon seems to have returned to a true backup role.

Boone had one carry for three yards and played 19 snaps on offense in Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Boone's playing time was his most since Week 1, but significant touches did not come his way. With Dameon Pierce (ankle) unavailable, Boone moved up the depth chart as the primary backup to Devin Singletary, but Houston's running game didn't gain much traction (53 yards) and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik shifted to a pass-heavy attack. Boone, who had been the primary kick returner in previous weeks, was removed from that role as Tank Dell handled those duties.

Ogunbowale successfully converted a 29-yard field-goal attempt in Sunday's 39-37 win over Tampa Bay in Week 9.

The running back was pressed into duty as a kicker when Ka'imi Fairbairn was unable to play in the second half due to a hamstring injury. Ogunbowale handled kickoffs, and his field goal gave Houston a 33-30 lead, but he was not given an opportunity to kick extra points as Houston went for two-point conversions on all four of its second-half touchdowns. If Fairbairn's injury lingers, the Texans are likely to add a traditional placekicker over using Ogunbowale in the role again.

Strong had three carries for nine yards and caught his lone target for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 27-0 win over the Cardinals.

A week after Strong logged a season-high 24 snaps, he had just five plays on offense. Backfield injuries created a path to a greater role for the former Patriot, but Jerome Ford was able to quickly overcome an ankle injury, which relegated Strong to a minor role Sunday. Ford and Kareem Hunt remain the primary fill-ins for the injured Nick Chubb (knee). In his brief window of opportunity, however, Strong showed quickness and potential as a third-down back.

Breida rushed twice for five yards and caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Raiders.

The Giants fell behind 24-0 by halftime and didn't do much better in the second half, but they continued to lean heavily on workhorse running back Saquon Barkley -- who finished with 19 total touches for 113 yards -- even as the game got out of hand. That once again kept Breida to a minimal role that netted very little production. The veteran tailback hasn't gained more than 17 total yards in any contest since Week 5, and he doesn't figure to see significantly more opportunities while Barkley remains healthy.

Mixon (chest) had 14 carries for 37 yards and a touchdown while adding five receptions for 31 yards off of six targets in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Bills.

Mixon suited up for Sunday Night Football as expected after dealing with a minor chest injury early in the practice week. Cincinnati's workhorse wound up handling 19 combined touches, which is right in line with the 18.7 touches he averaged prior to Sunday's win. Mixon's touchdowns and receptions are slightly behind last year's pace, but we could see the entire Bengals' offense receive a boost in the second half -- continuing with next Sunday's tilt versus Houston -- if Joe Burrow continues his recent hot streak.

Cook rushed six times for 20 yards and brought in all four targets for 19 yards in the Bills' 24-18 loss to the Bengals on Sunday night.

Cook's role on the ground was especially reduced with the Bills trailing for nearly the entire contest, and he couldn't fully make up for it with his work in the passing game. The talented second-year pro's carry total was his second lowest of the season, but Cook could have a much better opportunity for rushing production against a vulnerable Broncos run defense in a Week 10 home matchup Monday night, Nov. 13.

Mitchell recorded nine rushes for 138 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Seahawks. He added one reception for negative-four yards.

Mitchell's final line jumps off the page, as he accounted for two of Baltimore's three longest plays from scrimmage with 60 and 40-yard runs -- the latter of which went for his first career touchdown. While both came in garbage time, Mitchell's usage was intriguing, as he earned an equal amount of carries to Gus Edwards and Justice Hill in the first half. Mitchell ran an impressive 4.37 40-yard dash at the 2023 combine, so if he can continue to gain a foothold in the offense, he could emerge as a big-play threat.
