Darrel Williams RB | NO
Cardinals' Darrel Williams: DNP on estimated report
Williams (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Williams suffered a sprained knee during the team's Week 5 loss to Philadelphia and was sidelind for Week 6, along with starting running back James Conner (ribs). Both backs were listed as non-participants Monday, while Eno Benjamin, who took over as the primary running back against Seattle, was listed as limited due to a foot injury. Per Urban, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Williams is unlikely to play Thursday against the Saints, while Conner is day-to-day.

James Conner RB | ARI
Cardinals' James Conner: DNP on estimated report
Conner (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Conner sat out Week 6 after not practicing due to a rib injury he picked up a week prior. Fellow running back Darrel Williams (knee) also was ruled out, paving the way for Eno Benjamin (foot) to garner an increased role. However, all three of those backs were listed on Arizona's practice estimate Monday, with Benjamin the only one labeled as a limited participant. Considering it's a short week ahead of Thursday's matchup against New Orleans, it may be difficult for Conner or Williams to ramp all the way up to game action, but reports Tuesday and Wednesday should provide more clarity on how Arizona's running back room will look Week 7.

Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR
Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Plays just three snaps
Rivers caught his lone target for 14 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 24-10 win versus the Panthers.
Rivers was called on to provide depth for Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown with Cam Akers (personal) out, and while he only saw the field for three snaps on offense in his NFL debut, he was able to net a pair of touches. The catch was particularly a relevant play for the Rams, as the rookie was able to break off a 14-yard gain in the red zone before Matt Gay tapped in a 21-yard field goal to tie the game. The Rams may use the bye week to address the running back position with outside help, but if they choose to stand pat, Rivers may see more work as a depth piece in future weeks.

DeeJay Dallas RB | JAC
Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Two carries in win
Dallas rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.
With Rashaad Penny (leg) out for the season, Dallas operated as the No. 2 back behind rookie second-round pick Kenneth Walker, who logged 23 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown. Dallas was on the field for 23 of 68 offensive snaps while Walker handled 47 snaps. In Week 7 against the Chargers, Dallas should remain the No. 2 back, but he could get bumped out of that role once Travis Homer (ribs) returns from injured reserve.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Modest numbers in Week 6 loss
White rushed four times for 12 yards, brought in three of four targets for 11 yards and returned two kickoffs for 54 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
White was even more of a second fiddle to Leonard Fournette than in recent games, with his snap count on offense tumbling down to 15 after he'd been at 23 and 30 in Weeks 4 and 5, respectively. Nevertheless, White still logged only one fewer touch than during his season-high participation rate Week 5, and he seems like an increasingly certain proposition for multiple carries and targets each week after having accomplished that feat in both categories for three consecutive games.

JaMycal Hasty RB | NE
Jaguars' JaMycal Hasty: Posts 61-yard TD
Hasty rushed three times for 57 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Colts.
Hasty did all of his damage on a 61-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. His touches will remain limited as long as James Robinson and Travis Etienne are healthy.

Tyrion Davis-Price RB | GB
49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: No touches in return
Davis-Price (ankle) logged one offensive snap and received no touches in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.
Davis-Price returned from a three-game layoff just in time to assist a banged up 49ers backfield, but he essentially was deployed as a healthy scratch. Head coach Kyle Shanahan did not turn to his third-round pick from this year's draft, despite both Jeff Wilson (7-25-0 and a fumble) and Tevin Coleman (4-3-0) struggling from the opening snap. Perhaps Davis-Price will get a few touches against the Chiefs on Sunday.

Kevin Harris RB | JAC
Patriots' Kevin Harris: Logs three carries in season debut
Harris carried three times for five yards in Sunday's 38-15 win over the Browns.
The 2022 sixth-rounder suited up Sunday with Damien Harris (hamstring) out, logging 12 snaps behind lead back Rhamondre Stevenson (60 snaps), while fellow rookie Pierre Strong (one carry) saw action on four snaps. For now, Kevin Harris is off the fantasy radar, but if at any point the Patriots are without both Stevenson and Damien Harris, he could be pressed into an expanded early-down role.

Pierre Strong Jr. RB | GB
Patriots' Pierre Strong: One carry in Week 6
Strong logged four of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-15 win over the Browns, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
With Damien Harris (hamstring) inactive Sunday, Strong -- who carried once for five yards -- and Kevin Harris (12 snaps, three carries) both suited up for the contest, but as expected Rhamondre Stevenson handled the bulk of the team's backfield work. Strong remains off the fantasy radar until or unless he starts seeing steady snaps and touches in the Patriots offense.

Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Minimal work against Buccaneers
Warren had two carries for two yards during Sunday's 20-18 victory over Tampa Bay.
Warren racked up a career-high 63 yards from scrimmage during last week's blowout loss to the Bills, but he was much less involved during Sunday's Week 6 matchup. He played just 31 percent of the team's offensive snaps and was unable to accomplish much with his limited touches. The 23-year-old should continue to be contained to limited work as long as Najee Harris is healthy.
