Stevenson (head, ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Stevenson was forced out of the contest with listed head and ankle issues but was subsequently able to re-enter the Patriots' Week 6 backfield equation. Now that he's back in Sunday's game, Stevenson is once again working in tandem with fellow RB Ezekiel Elliott.

Montgomery (ribs) has been ruled out of Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay.

After landing hard while being tackled from behind in the second quarter, Montgomery needed medical attention on the field before going to the sideline and eventually the locker room. He was favoring his left side, and the Lions diagnosed him with a rib injury. According to Pam Oliver on Fox's broadcast, X-rays came back negative for Montgomery, but the issue is severe enough to keep him off the field for the rest of Week 6. With Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) inactive and Montgomery out, Craig Reynolds and Devine Ozigbo are Detroit's healthy and available running backs for the rest of Sunday's outing.

Robinson rushed 10 times for 31 yards and brought in both targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 24-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Robinson encountered tough sledding on the ground against a feisty Falcons front, but he found the end zone as a receiver for the first time since Week 1 on an impressive 24-yard catch and run early in the third quarter. The second-year back is now in a three-game funk as a runner, as he hasn't eclipsed 45 rushing yards in any contest during that span. Robinson's prospects might be a bit brighter in Week 7, however, as Washington visits the struggling Giants.

X-rays on Montgomery's ribs returned negative Sunday at Tampa Bay, but he remains questionable to return to the contest, Pam Oliver of Fox's broadcast reports.

Montgomery took a hard fall when he was tackled from behind in the second quarter and required medical attention on the field. He eventually made his way to the sideline and then the locker room favoring his left side, which was revealed to be due to a rib issue. While he hasn't officially been ruled out of Sunday's game, Montgomery will yield the backfield to Craig Reynolds and Devine Ozigbo due to Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) being inactive.

Hunt rushed 12 times for 47 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the 49ers.

Hunt scored from 16 yards out in the second quarter after taking a toss from tight end Harrison Bryant on a play set up to look like a Bryant sneak from under center. That creative play accounted for Cleveland's only touchdown, but Hunt's score plus four field goals and stingy defense added up to a win despite Deshaun Watson's (shoulder) absence. Hunt and Jerome Ford (17 carries for 84 yards) both played significant roles in this one, but Ford remains the team's primary backfield option heading into a Week 7 trip to Indianapolis.

Stevenson (head, ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Prior to his exit from the game, Stevenson carried six times for 30 yards and caught two of his three targets for eight yards. In his absence, Ezekiel Elliott is in line to see added carries out of New England's backfield, with Ty Montgomery also on hand.

Ford rushed 17 times for 84 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the 49ers.

Kareem Hunt ran in a 16-yard touchdown in the second quarter among his season-high 12 carries, while Ford seemed headed for a third consecutive quiet game prior to coming alive in the fourth quarter. Ford ripped off runs of 13, 14 and 22 yards to set up a pair of Cleveland field goals, the latter of which ended up being the game-winner. This was a nice bounce-back performance from Ford after he had mustered just 44 yards on 19 carries over the previous two games, and the potential return of starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) in Week 7 against the Colts could lead to fewer stacked boxes and open up more running lanes for Ford.

Moss rushed seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 38 yards in the Colts' 37-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Moss' backfield mate Jonathan Taylor received an uptick in opportunity Sunday as expected following his Week 5 debut, but both backs ultimately recorded 13 touches apiece. While neither player was able to do much on the ground against a stingy Jaguars front, Moss ultimately had the more productive fantasy day overall thanks largely to his three-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter. Moss' usage through Taylor's first two games is encouraging, but it's still likely the workload split eventually tilts much more toward the latter in coming weeks.

Allgeier rushed 13 times for 51 yards and failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.

Allgeier tied Bijan Robinson in rushing attempts and was slightly more efficient than the rookie, but the latter still outproduced the former when factoring in the passing game. Allgeier has seen double-digit rushing attempts in four of six games thus far, but he's averaging a measly 3.1 yards per carry after posting a 4.9 YPC as a rookie last year. Currently, Allgeier is a low-end RB3 who likely needs to find the end zone to deliver quality fantasy production.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 19-17 loss at Cleveland that McCaffrey suffered oblique and rib injuries during the contest, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

After the 49ers deemed him questionable to return due to an oblique injury in the third quarter, McCaffrey got back on the field for one play that was canceled out by a penalty. He then went back to the sideline and then the locker room, from which the team ruled him out. Prior to his exit, he had racked up 52 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown catch on 14 touches. He'll have an extra day than normal to rest up before San Francisco's next game Week 7 in Minnesota on Monday night, but if McCaffrey needs to miss time, Jordan Mason (5-27-1 rushing line Sunday) and Elijah Mitchell (two carries for minus-3 yards) would be the main beneficiaries out of the backfield.
