  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Will be limited Wednesday

    Head coach Robert Saleh said Hall is dealing with "nicks and bruises" and will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    In the Jets' 24-20 win over the Steelers on Sunday, Hall played 46 snaps on offense en route to recording 17 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown to go along with two catches for 12 yards. Though the running back's looming inclusion on the team's Week 5 injury report makes his status for this weekend's game against the Dolphins worth monitoring, at this stage it doesn't appear as though Hall's availability for the contest is in danger.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Returning to practice

    The Commanders designated Robinson (knee) for return to practice Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Washington will now have a 21-day window to evaluate Robinson in practice, but head coach Ron Rivera has already expressed optimism about the rookie's chances of making his NFL debut Sunday versus Tennessee. Before he sustained gunshot wounds to his right leg and required surgery after he was the victim of an apparent attempted robbery Aug. 28, Robinson appeared positioned to begin the season as the Commanders' lead option on the ground. If he's active this week, Robinson might handle only a light role behind Antonio Gibson and pass-catching specialist J.D. McKissic, but the 23-year-old should see his opportunities increase in the games to come.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    49ers' Jordan Mason: Not part of offense in win

    Mason failed to record a single rushing attempt in Monday's 24-9 win over the Rams.

    Mason did not play any offensive snaps Monday. Instead, the rookie running back saw the field for 17 snaps on special teams. Meanwhile, starter Jeff Wilson handled almost all of the team's work out of the backfield with 33 offensive snaps, ceding one carry to fellow veteran Tevin Coleman. It appeared Mason would have the opportunity to see increased involvement in the running game after injuries to both Elijah Mitchell (knee) and Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle), but that just hasn't come to fruition. The 23-year-old will look to make the most of any opportunities he may earn when the 49ers visit the Panthers in Week 5.

  • Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Quiet in win

    McKinnon recorded two carries for minus-1 yard and caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

    McKinnon played on just 18 of the Chiefs' 80 offensive snaps and could not make any impact with his three opportunities in the contest. Starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire continued his streak of efficiency, finding the end zone twice. McKinnon and fellow depth running back Isiah Pacheco have been limited in their share of the backfield with Edwards-Helaire playing a much bigger role. It was the rookie Pacheco, however, who provided a spark on offense and looked sharp as a rusher compared to McKinnon. With that said, McKinnon has been used in scoring position on several occasions so far this season, so he has the potential to find the end zone as part of a great offense. With that said, the 30-year-old just isn't seeing enough opportunities to make him a viable fantasy starter. The veteran is best left out of lineups when the Chiefs host the Raiders in Week 5.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Plays two offensive snaps

    Cook did not record a single rushing attempt and failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Ravens.

    Cook was a complete non-factor in the contest, playing just two offensive snaps. Starter Devin Singletary is handling the majority of the team's snaps out of the backfield, leaving few opportunities for both Cook and fellow backup Zack Moss. The rookie Cook will look to improve upon his down week as Buffalo's No. 3 running back when the Bills host the Steelers in Week 5.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Bills' Zack Moss: Quiet in win

    Moss rushed three times for six yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Ravens.

    Moss played just six offensive snaps in Week 4, marking his lowest total of the season thus far. On the other hand, starter Devin Singletary played 88 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps in the contest, which was his highest snap percentage in the first four weeks. Taking a major backseat to Singletary, Moss is becoming increasingly difficult to trust for fantasy. The veteran's limited opportunities are a concerning trend, and he should be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Bills host the Steelers in Week 5.

  • Commanders' Jonathan Williams: Makes most of six snaps

    Williams rushed five times for 48 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    Williams operated as the Commander's No. 3 running back in the contest, playing just six of 74 offensive snaps. Through the first four weeks of the season, the 28-year-old veteran has recorded 54 yards on six rushing attempts. Williams will remain far off the fantasy radar in Week 5 when the Commanders host the Titans.

  • Eno Benjamin RB | NO

    Cardinals' Eno Benjamin: Racks up 45 yards from scrimmage

    Benjamin notched five carries for 36 yards and hauled in his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 26-16 win in Carolina.

    While Benjamin finished third in offensive snaps (11 of 76) behind James Conner (50) and Darrel Williams (16), he earned the second-most touches among the trio (Conner had 18, and Williams had four). Benjamin also returned two kickoffs for 43 yards and kicked off in place of Matt Prater after the Cardinals' last three scores, one of which he logged a tackle. Not only does Benjamin appear to be the 2A option out of the backfield, he also seems to be the team's emergency kickoff specialist.

  • Cardinals' Darrel Williams: Earns four touches Sunday

    Williams had four carries for 19 yards and couldn't gather in his only target during Sunday's 26-16 win at Carolina.

    Williams actually received the first touch among Cardinals running backs Week 4, but he logged the second-most offensive snaps (16 of 76) behind James Conner (50) and ahead of Eno Benjamin (11), while finishing third in touches behind Conner's 18 and Benjamin's six. As such, Williams still seems like the 2B option at best in the team's backfield, which doesn't give him much utility without an absence from one of Conner or Benjamin.

  • Browns' Demetric Felton: Punt returner on depth chart

    Felton is listed as the primary punt returner on the Browns' unofficial depth chart for Week 5 against the Chargers.

    Felton helped replace Jerome Ford (ankle) on kickoff returns Sunday and may get a crack at returning punts this coming weekend. Donovan Peoples-Jones, who returned punts in Week 4, is now listed only as a wide receiver, while D'Ernest Johnson tops the kickoff return depth chart. Felton opened the season as the primary returner for both punts and kickoffs but has since lost both jobs.
