Hill rushed the ball seven times for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers. He added four receptions on four targets for 13 yards.

Gus Edwards maintained his role as the Ravens' primary rusher, though Hill arguably maintained a more valuable role with work in the red zone and as a receiver. Hill found the end zone midway through the first quarter on a 14-yard scamper, which was his longest gain of the day. He also was the only Baltimore back to catch a pass, but he's managed just 25 yards on seven targets this season. Hill could continue to see a similar role moving forward, though he'll be an unreliable fantasy option due to his lack of reliable volume.

Warren rushed the ball nine times for 40 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Ravens. He added three receptions on three targets for 39 yards.

Warren was narrowly out-touched by Najee Harris, 15-12. However, Warren was the far more efficient of the duo, as he racked up 79 total yards -- his second-highest mark of the season -- as opposed to Harris' 40 yards. The Steelers are heading into a Week 6 bye, and it's possible that Warren will emerge with an even more substantial role in Week 7 against the Rams.

Miller compiled 12 carries for 37 yards and hauled in all four targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 34-0 victory against the Patriots.

Miller logged nine carries and two receptions during the second half of the blowout win for New Orleans. The rookie out of TCU saw some solid usage in the first half while spelling No. 1 running back Alvin Kamara, who tallied 22 carries for 80 yards and a touchdown. Miller's biggest highlight came in the second quarter when he caught a swing pass in the flat before running around a couple of defenders for a 33-yard gain. That also marked the Saints' longest play from scrimmage and allowed Miller to finish with the team's second-most receiving yards behind wideout Michael Thomas (65). The rookie 220-pound running back has now tallied 22 carries for 74 yards and six receptions for 58 yards since making his professional debut Week 3. With veteran Jamaal Williams (hamstring) stuck on IR until at least Week 7, expect Miller to continue serving as New Orleans' RB2 versus the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 15.

Edwards rushed the ball 12 times for 48 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.

Edwards remained the lead back in the Baltimore backfield in terms of carries, but he ceded work as a pass catcher and in the red zone to Justice Hill. That left Edwards with an empty stat line despite a relatively efficient rushing performance. He should continue to have a role moving forward, but it isn't likely to be particularly fantasy-friendly.

Perine rushed six times for 22 yards while catching four of five targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jets.

Perine wound up splitting time with undrafted rookie Jaleel McLaughlin in place of Javonte Williams (quadriceps) on Sunday, receiving 10 combined touches compared to the latter's 12. Both players were productive when called upon, with Perine doing most of his damage as a receiver out of the backfield. McLaughlin wound up with the better fantasy line by scoring the only touchdown between the two, and he was also the first back deployed by Denver in the loss. That said, Perine should maintain his complementary role whether alongside McLaughlin or a limited Williams for Thursday's matchup against Kansas City.

Harris carried the ball 14 times for 37 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over Baltimore. He added one reception for three yards.

Harris led Pittsburgh in carries and out-touched Jaylen Warren by a mark of 15-12. However, Harris found very little running room and managed more than two yards on only five of his 14 attempts. Harris appeared to be trending in the right direction after racking up 168 total yards across his last two games, but this performance was a step back and raises questions about his role after the team returns from a bye for a Week 7 matchup against the Rams.

Mattison carried the ball eight times for 26 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Kansas City.

The Vikings' running game had no success on the day -- Cam Akers managed only 15 rushing yards on five carries -- but Mattison's nine-yard TD catch on a screen pass from Kirk Cousins early in the fourth quarter brought Minnesota within a score. The fifth-year RB then dropped another potential touchdown on the team's next possession, however. Mattison is still looking for his first rushing touchdown of the year to go with his two receiving TDs, and he appears to be drifting into a timeshare with Akers heading into a Week 6 clash with the Bears.

Moss rushed the ball 23 times for 165 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Titans. He added two receptions for 30 yards.

Moss was expected to lose work with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) making his season debut, but he instead turned in a career-best 165 yards. He also added two touchdowns, the first from 56 yards away and the other a three-yard plunge into the end zone. Moss will almost certainly take a step back as Taylor gets back into game shape, but he has at least 70 rushing yards in all four games this season and could keep a more significant role than originally anticipated.

Pacheco carried the ball 16 times for 55 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Vikings.

The second-year RB got into the end zone for the third straight game, opening the scoring exactly five minutes into the first quarter with a one-yard TD plunge. Pacheco has seized firm control of the top job in the Kansas City backfield with 302 rushing yards, three TDs and 4.8 yards per carry over the last four contests, and he could break out in Week 6 against a Broncos run defense that just surrendered 177 yards to the Jets' Breece Hall -- only the second-highest rushing total Denver's given up to a running back in 2023.

McLaughlin had nine carries for 68 yards and caught three of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jets.

McLaughlin wound up receiving 12 combined touches to Samaje Perine's 10, as the pair of backups combined to fill in for injured starter Javonte Williams (hamstring) on Sunday. McLaughlin finished with the stronger fantasy day after catching one of Russell Wilson's two touchdown throws, giving the undrafted free agent two receiving touchdowns in as many weeks. Perine gained 95 total yards on his 10 touches, so the veteran figures to remain in the backfield mix if Williams isn't ready for Thursday's tilt against the Chiefs. In that scenario, McLaughlin would become the preferred fantasy option in Denver's backfield after averaging 7.3 yards per carry so far as a rookie.
