Wilson had two carries for 19 yards and two receptions for eight yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Broncos.

The Packers elected to manage the snaps of top running back Aaron Jones, and while AJ Dillon wound up being the busiest Packers ball carrier on the day, Wilson did wind up with a career-high four touches. Wilson was effective Week 7, but he remains the third running back on the depth chart, and Green Bay could elect to give veteran practice-squad member James Robinson a look at some point.

Ahmed carried the ball twice for three yards during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles. He secured one of two targets but did not compile any receiving yardage.

Ahmed was ineffective against a stout Philadelphia defensive front, but it was notable to see him work as the next man up behind Raheem Mostert, even with Jeff Wilson making his season debut. That pecking order could shift as Wilson further distances himself from his health issues, but heading into a Week 8 matchup against New England, only Mostert is a sure bet for relevant volume.

Wilson secured his only target for four yards during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles. He did not record a carry.

Wilson was an afterthought behind both Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed in his season debut. The veteran may simply still be rusty after having missed the first six games of the season due to multiple injuries, but fantasy managers will want to see him handle a notable workload before considering him a trustworthy lineup option, especially with a matchup against New England's stout defense coming in Week 8.

White rushed twice for two yards and caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.

White made a catch on three consecutive plays during the Raiders' final drive of the contest to help set up a nine-yard touchdown pass from Aidan O'Connell to Jakobi Meyers in garbage time. Game flow allowed White to record a season-high 14 offensive snaps as well, but Josh Jacobs figures to again see a majority of the backfield touches against the Lions in Week 8.

Dallas caught his lone target for no gain in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Cardinals. He also returned a kick for 24 yards and four punts for 47 yards.

Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) was inactive, making Dallas the No. 2 running back behind Kenneth Walker. Dallas handled just 14 offensive snaps (23 percent) compared to Walker's 48. The 2020 fourth-round pick continues to impress as a punt returner, but his fantasy utility is negligible as long as either Walker or Charbonnet are healthy.

Barkley said after hyperextending his left elbow during Sunday's 14-7 win over the Commanders that he will "be alright" for the Giants' Week 8 game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Barkley logged 21 carries for 77 yards and caught three of four targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the win over Washington. His score came after hyperextending his elbow earlier in the contest, an injury that occurred during the game's second drive. Barkley was able to finish the contest with a sleeve on his left arm and elbow, which lends credence to the notion that he again will be able to play through the injury unabated when the Giants face the Jets. Barkley also reiterated after Sunday's win that he wants to remain in New York as the NFL's Oct. 31 trade deadline draws closer.

Gainwell rushed eight times for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Dolphins.

D'Andre Swift (15-62-0) did the heavy lifting for Philadelphia on the ground, but it was Gainwell who cashed in a short touchdown on the Eagles' final scoring drive. It was the backup's first trip to the end zone in six games this season. The curious coaching decision to start Gainwell over Swift back in Week 1 is looking more like an anomaly with each passing week, leaving the backup with only deep-league fantasy appeal heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.

Mostert had nine carries for 45 yards and one reception on three targets for six yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles.

Mostert's 10 touches tied his previous low for the season, but he maintained a lofty mark of 5.6 yards per carry despite the low usage. Both of the veteran back's down games have unsurprisingly come in losses, as teams generally throw more while playing from behind. These sporadic games with low touch counts could wind up being a blessing in disguise over the course of the schedule for a player with Mostert's injury history. The 31-year-old has already amassed 103 combined touches through seven weeks after recording 212 over 16 games in 2022. Mostert and the Dolphins' entire offense will look to get back to their high-scoring ways in a home game against New England next Sunday.

Swift had 15 carries for 62 yards and caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over Miami.

Swift posted a more traditional running back stat line Sunday after seeing most of his fantasy production come as a receiver against the Jets in Week 6. The 24-year-old did have a touchdown opportunity vultured by backup Kenneth Gainwell (8-16-1) late in the contest that may have frustrated fantasy managers. Swift was able to earn back some of those potential points when he vultured two garbage-time carries from Gainwell on Philadelphia's ensuing drive, netting 19 additional yards despite the game being well in hand. Swift will continue serving his fruitful fantasy role as the lead back for a top offense when the Eagles face the Commanders next Sunday.

Breida carried the ball three times for four yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 14-7 Week 7 win over Washington.

Breida had seen an uptick in snaps with Saquon Barkley out with an ankle injury between Week 3 and Week 5, but he followed last Sunday's four-carry effort with just three totes against the Commanders. The veteran back didn't do much with his limited opportunities, as his four yards on the ground were a season-low mark. As long as Barkley is able to play, Breida has very limited fantasy value given the Giants' propensity to use Barkley heavily in both the running and passing game.
