  • Eno Benjamin RB | NO

    Cardinals' Eno Benjamin: Notches seven touches Sunday

    Benjamin tallied five carries for 16 yards and two catches on four targets for seven yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Rams.

    After James Conner injured his ankle in Week 2, there was a question whether Benjamin or Darrel Williams, or both, would benefit if Conner was limited or out in Week 3. Conner ended up playing and logged a typical 60 percent of the snaps on offense, however, on his way to 16 touches for 57 yards. Meanwhile, Benjamin rang in second in offensive snap share (27 percent) and touches, while Williams was a distant third in both categories (17 percent, one touch). As a result, Benjamin appears safe as the No. 2 RB in Arizona while Conner is healthy, considering he's averaging 8.3 touches per game this season.

  • Cardinals' Darrel Williams: Just one touch in Week 3

    Williams had one carry for seven yards and didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Rams.

    In the wake of James Conner hurting his ankle in Week 2, there was a belief Williams would be the beneficiary if the former was limited or out in Week 3. Conner ended up playing his typical 60 percent of the offensive snaps, however, en route to 16 touches for 57 yards, while Williams logged 17 percent (and one touch) and Eno Benjamin managed 27 percent (and seven touches for 23 yards). There has been no word of an aggravation of Conner's injury, so Williams appears as though he'll be in a depth role once again Sunday in Carolina.

  • Godwin Igwebuike: Joins Seahawks

    Igwebuike was signed to Seattle's practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Igwebuike spent last season and this year's training camp with the Lions, but he was unable to make the team. His addition to the practice squad comes as Travis Homer is dealing with bruised ribs, which he suffered in the Seahawks' 27-23 loss to the Falcons.

  • Isiah Pacheco RB | DET

    Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Logs only five snaps in Week 3

    Pacheco recorded three carries for nine yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss against Indianapolis.

    On a positive note, Pacheco received targets on 60 percent of the snaps he was in the game. He's the clear No. 3 in Kansas City's rotation but could step into a larger role in future weeks should either Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Jerick McKinnon miss time.

  • Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Minimal output in Week 3

    McKinnon tallied seven carries for 20 yards and didn't catch his only target during Sunday's 20-17 defeat versus the Colts.

    McKinnon received more snaps (33) than Clyde Edwards-Helaire (25) in the contest (33-25) and also finished with more totes (seven to CEH's four). However, Edwards-Helaire also reeled in five passes for 39 yards to salvage his day from a fantasy perspective, whereas McKinnon didn't make an impact as a receiver. Still, McKinnon should continue to contribute steadily as part of a backfield committee.

  • Lions' Craig Reynolds: Seven touches while spelling Swift

    Reynolds rushed six times for 13 yards while securing his only target for five yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.

    Reynolds saw increased offensive snaps and touches for a second consecutive week as D'Andre Swift now tends to a shoulder injury in addition to his ankle woes. With Swift possibly set to miss multiple games, Reynolds could see even more involvement in Week 4 against the Seahawks as the potential No. 2 running back behind Jamaal Williams.

  • Chris Evans RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chris Evans: Minimal role continues

    Evans caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Evans is still looking for his first carry of the season, and he managed only two offensive snaps in this one. It'll take an injury to either Joe Mixon or Samaje Perine before Evans has a chance at a meaningful offensive role.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Notches first 2022 touchdown

    Perine scored the Bengals' initial touchdown in their win over the Jets on Sunday on a pass in the red zone. He ended up with a combined 61 yards rushing and receiving.

    Perine got the bulk of his carries late, but he ended up rushing nine times for 47 yards to go along with his two catches for 14 yards. He was more effective running the ball than teammate Joe Mixon, albeit he had the benefit of getting most of his work against a tired opponent.

  • Matt Breida RB | SF

    Giants' Matt Breida: Gets just one touch Monday night

    Breida gained three yards on one carry and was not targeted in the passing game during a Week 3 loss to Dallas on Monday Night Football.

    It's clear that New York intends to rely as heavily as ever on Saquon Barkley this season despite his problems staying healthy in recent campaigns. Breida got just one carry Monday, while Barkley rushed 14 times for 81 yards and caught all four of his targets for another 45 yards. Breida has just eight rush attempts for 26 yards while notching no catches on one target through the first three weeks.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Makes most of 13 carries

    Pollard rushed the ball 13 times for 105 yards and failed to catch his only target in Monday's 23-16 win over the Giants.

    Pollard accounted for the Cowboys' longest play from scrimmage with a 46-yard run early in the second quarter. Though Ezekiel Elliott led the backfield with 16 total touches, Pollard picked up his highest number of carries in a game this season. After a quiet performance in Week 1, the Memphis product has recorded 203 scrimmage yards across his last two games.
