Carter was held to one rushing yard on four attempts (no receptions) in Saturday's 32-24 preseason win over the Giants.

Carter was the first back to receive a carry for the Jets with Dalvin Cook and Breece Hall sitting out Saturday's exhibition finale. The 2021 fourth-round pick projects to serve as the Jets' third back despite Saturday's poor showing, but he won't carry fantasy value in that role this year.

Mostert rushed four times for seven yards and brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Dolphins' 31-18 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night.

Mostert was the first Dolphins running back to log a touch, and he played with the rest of the starters for the first two possessions overall. Beginning with the Sunday, Sept. 10 season-opening clash against the Chargers, Mostert should be slotting into a fairly even timeshare with Jeff Wilson (undisclosed), although the fact the latter missed all three preseason games does put his status for Week 1 into question for the time being.

Gray rushed seven times for 11 yards and caught all four of his targets for 48 yards in Saturday's preseason finale against the Jets.

Gray's struggles as a rusher continued this preseason, with him contributing more as a receiver while also handling kick returns. The fifth-round pick was the third back to enter Saturday's contest behind Jashaun Corbin and James Robinson (Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida did not play). Based on his usage this preseason, Gray will have to make the Giants' roster as a contributor on special teams this year.

Robinson rushed 10 times for 55 yards (no targets) in Saturday's 32-24 preseason loss to the Jets.

Robinson was the second back to enter Saturday's exhibition with starter Saquon Barkley and primary backup Matt Breida sitting this one out. Jashaun Corbin started ahead of the veteran and scored the Giants' lone rushing touchdown Saturday. Robinson is currently one of several backs vying for one of New York's final roster spots ahead of the regular-season opener against the Cowboys on Sept. 10.

Gordon took three carries for nine yards and caught two of four targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 26-20 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Gordon is no better than fourth on the depth chart, as J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill all were rested for the final preseason game. Undrafted rookie Keaton Mitchell represents the competition for the No. 4 RB job, if the Ravens keep four backs, but he's been dealing with a minor injury and didn't play Saturday night. Gordon might not be with the Ravens much longer and will be buried on the depth chart in the short term if he sticks around.

McBride rushed the ball eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 18-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals.

None of Alexander Mattison (undisclosed), Ty Chandler or Kene Nwangwu (undisclosed) logged a carry, leaving McBride to lead the backfield. He was efficient with the opportunity and also punched in a score from one yard away. McBride will likely begun the regular season buried on the depth chart, though the uncertain health status of Mattison and Nwangwu could change things.

Tucker took 10 carries for 34 yards and caught his lone target for one yard in Saturday's 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens.

Tucker was the third RB in the game, after Rachaad White and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, getting nine of his 11 touches in the fourth quarter. The undrafted rookie may have a spot on the Week 1 roster, with OC Dave Canales mentioning Thursday that Tucker has done an especially nice job in practice picking up extra yards on checkdowns, per Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site. ESPN's Jenna Laine believes Tucker is well on his way to making the team.

Mattison (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 18-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals.

Mattison has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that has kept him out of preseason action. The Vikings are likely being precautious with him given his status as the team's lead back, though practice reports in the leadup to a Week 1 matchup against the Buccaneers will ultimately provide more information about his health.

White took seven carries for 39 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Saturday's 26-20 preseason win over Baltimore.

White got the start and played every snap on the two drives Baker Mayfield and Chris Godwin played. The second-year RB stayed on the field after those two and took a bunch of carries on the next drive with a mixed unit of starters and backups, eventually finishing his night with 41 yards on eight touches. While it remains unclear how things will shake out behind him, there's no doubt White will open the season as the lead back when the Bucs travel to Minnesota in Week 1.

Clement carried the ball 14 times for 79 yards in Saturday's 18-17 preseason win over Minnesota.

Clement worked behind both Keaontay Ingram and Emari Demercado for the second consecutive week, suggesting he may be slipping down the Arizona depth chart. Positively, he did run well, tallying long gains of 29 and 10 yards. James Conner is projected to handle a significant amount of the carries out of Arizona's backfield, so regardless of exactly where Clement slots in on the depth chart, he isn't likely to see many snaps with the offensive unit.
