Michael Carter RB | TEN
Jets' Michael Carter: Three touches in Week 1 win
Carter rushed once for six yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Monday's 22-16 overtime win over the Bills.
Carter got three touches while Dalvin Cook and Breece Hall combined for 27 in the season-opening win. It will likely take an injury to one of the team's top two running backs for Carter to get more than a handful of touches per game in an offense that will be helmed by Zach Wilson moving forward after Aaron Rodgers ruptured his Achilles. Up next for Carter and the Jets is a Week 2 trip to Dallas.

Trayveon Williams RB | CLE
Bengals' Trayveon Williams: Minimal usage in Week 1
Williams played 15 offensive snaps in a Week 1 loss to the Browns, carrying the ball twice for seven yards.
Williams is currently third in line on the team for carries, with Joe Mixon getting the vast majority of opportunities and Chris Evans working in on passing downs. Williams' 25 snaps on special teams likely explained why he was active and rookie Chase Brown was not.

Keaontay Ingram RB | KC
Cardinals' Keaontay Ingram: Treads water in Week 1
Ingram had five carries for minus-4 yards during Sunday's 20-16 defeat at Washington.
Ingram's first four rushes all went for negative yardage, including three of them for minus-3 yards, so his final carry for six yards canceled out two of those losses. He also didn't get much run on offense (seven snaps), with James Conner easily pacing Cardinals running backs with 52 (of 62) plays and 19 touches for 70 yards from scrimmage. As a result, Ingram remains a fantasy non-entity without some sort of absence from Conner.

Jason Huntley RB | IND
Jason Huntley: Let go by Indianapolis
Huntley was cut from the Colts' practice squad Tuesday.
This move comes in wake of the team signing running back Tyler Goodson to its practice squad the same day. Huntley has spent time with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh throughout his three-year career, appearing in six games and recording 70 rushing yards on 18 attempts. The 25-year-old's last in-game action came in 2021.

Tyler Goodson RB | ATL
Tyler Goodson: Earns practice squad spot
Goodson signed with the Colts' practice squad Tuesday.
Goodson showed enough during his tryout Monday to secure a spot on Indianapolis' practice squad. The 22-year-old back out of Iowa spent the majority of last season on Green Bay's practice squad after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent. The Colts cut ties with running back Jason Huntley to make room for Goodson.

Larry Rountree III RB | HOU
Larry Rountree: Cut from practice squad
Houston cut Rountree from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Rountree is being replaced by fellow running back Gerrid Doaks on the practice squad. Last season Rountree handled a depth role in four appearances with the Chargers.

Gerrid Doaks RB | HOU
Gerrid Doaks: Inks with Texans' practice squad
Houston signed Doaks to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Doaks had a tryout with the Texans on Monday, and he now gets a chance on the team's practice squad. He spent the entire 2022 campaign on Houston's practice squad and boasts plenty of familiarity with the system.

Tyler Goodson RB | ATL
Tyler Goodson: Gets tryout with Colts
Indianapolis hosted Goodson (shoulder) for a tryout Monday, Howard Balzer of PHNX reports.
Goodson is a free agent after receiving an injury settlement with the Packers, and he's healthy enough to work out and search for a new role. He's still looking for a chance to play his first NFL snap.

Jaleel McLaughlin RB | DEN
Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Plays five offensive snaps in debut
McLaughlin caught his only target for minus-7 yards and failed to record a single carry in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Raiders.
Following an impressive preseason, McLaughlin's regular season debut left much to be desired. The rookie operated as the Broncos' No. 3 running back behind Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine. McLaughlin's five offensive snaps came in far behind the veterans, with Williams and Perine each seeing 29 snaps. With Williams healthy and Perine factoring in frequently, there weren't many opportunities left for the 22-year-old. Despite his talent, McLaughlin will likely find it difficult to see consistent usage in Denver's offense barring an injury to one of the top two backs. The Youngstown State product remains off the fantasy radar for a Week 2 matchup with the Commanders.

Myles Gaskin RB | SEA
Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Back on roster
Gaskin was signed to the Vikings' 53-man roster Tuesday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Gaskin ended up on Minnesota's practice squad after being let go from the Dolphins, but he was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. However, the 26-year-old did not play a single snap in the game and was reverted to the practice squad Monday. Now, it appears the Washington product will remain a part of the active roster with his next chance to see the field being Thursday against the Eagles.
