Pollard rushed 12 times for 83 yards and secured both targets for 26 yards in the Cowboys' 24-6 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Pollard was three carries behind backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott, but he outgained him by 26 yards. The fourth-year back's 6.9 yards per carry was especially impressive, and he's now eclipsed the 80-yard mark on the ground in two of his last three games. His next opportunity to continue churning out strong numbers comes in a favorable Week 8 home matchup against the Bears' suspect run defense.

Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Gaskin will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week since the Dolphins' other running backs are all available. Raheem Mostert, Chase Edmonds and Salvon Ahmed will be available out of the backfield Sunday.

Henry rushed the ball 30 times for 128 yards in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts. He added three receptions for 10 yards.

The Titans followed a familiar game script, as they took a lead against the Colts and used Henry to run out the clock in the final two quarters. As a result, he reached the 30-carry threshold for the first time this season and surpassed 100 yards for the third consecutive game. Also of note was Henry's ability to pick up chunk gains, as his longest rushes of the day went for 23 and 21 yards -- doubling his number of carries that have gone for 20 or more yards on the season.

Foreman rushed 15 times for 118 yards and secured both targets for 27 yards in the Panthers' 21-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Although pregame reports indicated Foreman would open the post-Christian McCaffrey era playing second fiddle to Chuba Hubbard (ankle) in Carolina's backfield, it was the former who led the way in rush attempts and yardage with his teammate exiting the game early. A significant chunk of Foreman's yardage came on a 60-yard run, but the one-time third-round pick of the Texans still gained a respectable 58 yards on his other 14 carries and also made solid contributions in the passing game. Hubbard was impressive in his own right before his injury with 63 yards and a score on nine carries -- along with a pair of catches in his own right -- so the two may continue operating in a fairly close timeshare arrangement moving forward when each is available.

Gibson rushed 10 times for 59 yards while catching three of four targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Packers.

Gibson had half as many carries as Brian Robinson, but the third-year running back made more of an impact as a pass catcher, including a nine-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. With three-plus catches in five of seven games, including each of the past four, Gibson continues to get opportunities in Washington's offense despite inconsistent usage on the ground. Gibson and the Commanders will face the Colts on the road in Week 8.

Robinson rushed 20 times for 73 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Packers.

Robinson got nine more touches than Antonio Gibson, but Gibson got into the end zone on a nine-yard catch in the second quarter. Both of Washington's top two running backs should continue to play prominent roles in Week 8 against the Colts and beyond. Robinson's averaging only 3.4 yards per carry through three NFL games, but he's taken on a workhorse role with 37 rushing attempts over the past two games.

Taylor recorded 10 rushes for 58 yards in Sunday's 19-10 Week 7 loss to the Colts. He added seven receptions on eight targets for 27 yards.

Taylor returned from a two-game absence to tally 85 total yards. While his rushing volume was limited by game script, Taylor still accounted for 10 of the team's 16 rushing attempts by running backs. He was able to make up some of his lost volume through the air, tallying a season best in targets, receptions and yards. While Taylor appeared to be relatively healthy, there may be some concern about his ability to produce moving forward given the poor state of the Indianapolis offense.

Williams rushed 15 times for 79 yards while fumbling twice (losing one) and securing his only target for four yards during Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Cowboys.

In possibly his last game before the return of D'Andre Swift (shoulder), Williams was relatively efficient on the ground but frustratingly fumbled at the one-yard line on his way into the end zone. That miscue, combined with Jared Goff's four turnovers, ruined Detroit's chances of pulling off the upset. While an offensive rebound can likely be expected in Week 8 against the Dolphins given the continued health of the Lions' talented offensive line, Williams could see a downtick in offensive responsibilities with Swift potentially back in the fold.

Elliott said after Sunday's 24-6 win versus the Lions that he believes he has "a contusion on" his right knee, which forced him to the sideline for a few plays just before halftime, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. "I still have to go back and talk to the trainers."

Elliott took a direct hit to his right knee during the play in question and limped to the sideline, but he was able to retain his usual workload after halftime, finishing the game with 15 carries for 57 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, No. 2 running back Tony Pollard notched 83 yards on 12 rushes and hauled in both targets for 26 yards. Elliott's status for next Sunday's matchup with the Bears doesn't appear to be in question, but his activity level thus will be watched during Week 8 prep to ensure he'll be available.

Barkley rushed 24 times for 110 yards and caught all four of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jaguars.

Barkley was kept out of the end zone for the third time this season but eclipsed 100 scrimmage yards for the fifth time in seven games. He played a pivotal role in the Giants running out the clock down the stretch with runs of 13 and 20 yards, but Barkley's inability to get down before getting out of bounds bought Jacksonville 40 extra seconds for a final drive that came up one yard short. Barkley has an appetizing Week 8 matchup on tap against the Seahawks.
