Evans rushed nine times for 32 yards and added a two-yard reception in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Until the fourth quarter, Evans had split the backfield touches almost evenly with D'Onta Foreman. By the end of the game, Foreman had more work and was the more effective back. It's unclear if Evans will retain a role in the offense when Roschon Johnson (concussion) returns to the lineup.

Hall rushed 12 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while catching all five of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.

Running room was hard to come by against Philadelphia's stout front, but Hall stayed involved in the offense as a pass catcher out of the backfield, notching the second-most receiving yards of his young career while recording at least five catches for the first time since Week 3 of his rookie season in 2022. After New York's defense returned Jalen Hurts' third interception of the game to the eight-yard line, Hall scored an eight-yard rushing touchdown on the next play to put the Jets ahead 20-14 with 1:46 remaining in the fourth quarter. With 42 touches in the past two games, Hall has reclaimed the lead role in New York's backfield after being brought along slowly to start the season, and he'll be fresh for a heavy workload in Week 8 against the Giants after the Jets' Week 7 bye.

Walker rushed 19 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals. He added three receptions for 27 yards.

Walker had an excellent opening drive for Seattle, accounting for 34 total yards while also scoring a touchdown. He found running room more difficult to find after that, though his strong involvement as a receiver covered up some of his inefficiency on the ground. Walker has now found the end zone in four consecutive games and has six total touchdowns across five contests. He should find more room to roam in a Week 7 matchup against Arizona and will look to record his first 100-yard rushing game of the season.

Demercado rushed twice for 11 yards and secured his only target for six yards in the Cardinals' 26-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

The rookie was expected to share the majority of the backfield work with Keaontay Ingram in the Cardinals' first game without James Conner (IR-knee), but Demercado saw veteran Damien Williams fill that role while logging eight carries and recording a catch on his only target. Ingram and Williams combined for a solid 76 yards on 18 carries and an additional 19 yards on three receptions, so it's likely the pecking order in the ground attack remains the same for a tough Week 7 road matchup against the Seahawks' considerably improved run defense.

Williams (ankle) rushed 20 times for 158 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-9 victory against the Cardinals.

It was a tale of two halves for the Rams' lead back, as Williams had only two rushes for four yards after two quarters of action. The Rams came out in the third quarter and flipped the script, rushing the ball nine straight times, with Williams accounting for 52 yards on that drive alone. From there, Williams showed off his explosiveness with a pair of lengthy rushes for 27 and 31 yards, respectively, and capped it off with a five-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to put an exclamation point on an exceptional day, his second in three weeks with over 100 yards on the ground. Williams did pick up an ankle injury near the end of the game, but coach Sean McVay told Bridget Condon of NFL Network afterward that "I think he's going to be good. Just got his ankle tweaked at the end." It'll be something that fantasy managers should still keep an eye on with backup Ronnie Rivers (knee) also exiting the contest.

Ingram rushed 10 times for 40 yards and brought in both targets for 11 yards in the Cardinals' 26-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Ingram got first crack at the No. 1 running back job with James Conner (IR-knee) sidelined and put together a respectable performance on a per-touch basis. The second-year back logged only two more carries than Damien Williams, however, and the latter was actually more efficient by averaging 4.5 yards per tote. Ingram should have a very good chance of retaining a solid role for a Week 7 road matchup against the Seahawks, although Seattle's run defense has been stingy over the first six games of the season.

Jacobs rushed 25 times for 77 yards and caught two of five targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over New England.

Jacobs finished with 20-plus carries for the second consecutive week but was unable to replicate last week's touchdown. Las Vegas' workhorse still hasn't broken the four yards-per-carry mark in any game this season, softening his fantasy impact through six weeks. Jacobs will continue to receive all the touches he can handle despite getting off to a slow start, especially if starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) is unable to suit up for next Sunday's road game against Chicago.

Montgomery is scheduled to undergo further testing after exiting Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers with a rib injury, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Montgomery was injured when he landed hard on the field after being tackled in the second quarter. Initial X-rays on Montgomery's rib came back negative, but further tests are required to determine the precise nature and severity of his injury. With Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) also banged up and having missed the Lions' last two games, Craig Reynolds could be Detroit's lead back Week 7 against Baltimore if the top two options on the depth chart miss further game action.

Mostert rushed the ball 17 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers. He added three catches for 17 yards and an additional score.

Mostert led Miami's backfield with a season-high 20 touches, and he dominated opportunities when the game was in question. He used the additional volume to record his second 100-yard rushing performance of the campaign, highlighted by a long gain of 48 yards. Mostert also continued to benefit from the incredibly efficient Dolphins' offense with his third multi-score effort of the year, and he now has 11 total touchdowns in only six games. That's very unlikely to continue, and he could also have to share the backfield in Week 7 against the Eagles, as Jeff Wilson (ribs) appears poised to return from injured reserve.

Brightwell (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Brightwell came into the weekend questionable with an ankle injury, but he will be able to take the field against Buffalo. Saquon Barkley (ankle) is also active for the contest, so Brightwell is likely to see his already small role on offense further reduced. Brightwell worked exclusively on special teams last week against Miami, and that may be the case again Sunday night.
