Allgeier recorded 15 carries for 51 yards during Sunday's 28-14 victory over the 49ers.

Allgeier saw one fewer rushing attempt and totaled eight fewer yards than Caleb Huntley, though neither running back saw any work work in the passing game. With Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) sidelined, the rookie Allgeier has rushed 23 times for 129 yards while securing his only target for 20 yards over the past two weeks. Both running backs figure to see increased work as long as Patterson remains on injured reserve, but their overall potential will continue to be limited as long as they continue to split carries.

Chubb carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards in Sunday's 38-15 loss to the Patriots. He added one reception on two targets for 14 yards.

Chubb had his worst day of the season, both in terms of volume and efficiency. He saw eight carries in the first half but was largely scripted out of the final two quarters with the Browns trailing by multiple scores. Even when he was called upon, Chubb found running room hard to come by. He still managed a long rush of 18 yards but ultimately fell short of 100 yards on the ground for only the second time on the campaign.

Stevenson rushed 19 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns and brought in four of five targets for 15 yards in the Patriots' 38-15 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Stevenson didn't see quite as much work as may have been expected with Damien Harris (hamstring) out once again, but game script didn't completely turn in the rushing attack's favor until the fourth quarter. Stevenson still saw a healthy amount of touches when factoring in his work in the passing game, and the second-year back also delivered nicely for fantasy managers with touchdown runs of 31 and six yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. Stevenson now has 237 rushing yards in two starts in Harris' stead, lending credence to the notion he could retain something resembling a lead-back role even if Harris returns for a Week 7 Monday night home matchup against the highly vulnerable Bears run defense.

Barkley carried the ball 22 times for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Ravens. He added three receptions for 12 yards.

Barkley continued to dominate touches out of the Giants' backfield and now has over 20 carries in three of six games this season. He lost some of his efficiency against a Ravens defense that has struggled to stop the run early in the season and tallied a long rush of only eight yards. However, Barkley also remained involved as a pass catcher, while in the run game he tallied the game-winning touchdown from one yard away, leaping over a pile of defenders to reach the end zone. He has at least 88 total yards in every game this season and has remained one of the most consistent running back producers in the league.

Dillon rushed 10 times for 41 yards and caught four of six targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets.

Dillon again led the Packers in carries despite rushing for under 50 yards for the fourth time in six games this season. The tailback was also involved in a fumbled handoff exchange during the second quarter, although that turnover was pinned on quarterback Aaron Rodgers. While Dillon's consistent involvement keeps him a weekly factor to consider, Green Bay's offensive struggles while arguably underutilizing teammate Aaron Jones clouds both players' respective outlooks ahead of Week 7's matchup versus Washington.

Harris rushed 14 times for 42 yards while securing two of three targets for seven yards and a touchdown during the Steelers' 20-18 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Harris had a steel plate removed from the shoe on his left foot this week, signaling that he's moved past the Lisfranc injury that he dealt with during training camp. Although the Steelers picked up their second win of the season Sunday, Harris remained relatively inefficient, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry. He propped up his fantasy results with a six-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter, but it was discouraging to see him remain inefficient in Week 6. The 2021 first-rounder will face a more favorable opponent in Miami next Sunday.

Dobbins' knee tightened up during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

As a result, Kenyan Drake led the Ravens' rushing attack in the second half of the game en route to logging 10 carries for 119 yards and a TD. Dobbins, who finished the contest with seven carries for 15 yards, missed all of last season due to a knee injury, so his status will be worth closely monitoring ahead of next weekend's game against the Browns. Meanwhile, Justice Hill missed this Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and Gus Edwards (knee) is progressing but is still on the PUP list.

Jones rushed nine times for 19 yards and caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets.

Jones continued to be puzzlingly underused in the first half, garnering just four touches despite Green Bay's offense struggling and teammate AJ Dillon being part of a fumbled handoff exchange. Although Jones got more involved after halftime, he found little room to maneuver, making for a season low in scrimmage yards. With the Packers offense in need of improvement ahead of Week 7's game versus the Commanders, Jones represents a key playmaker to highlight, but having gone four straight games without a touchdown amid some frustrating management, his stock carries a hint of uncertainty.

Hall rushed 20 times for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers. He also caught both his targets for five yards.

Hall's performance was highlighted by a misdirection handoff that he took 34 yards for a touchdown to begin the fourth quarter. That play not only helped New York ice an unlikely victory, it also gave Hall a touchdown for the third straight game. After approaching 200 scrimmage yards last week, the rookie's production on the ground Sunday marked a new high and his first time in triple digits. Just six games into his career, Hall is one of the league's hottest tailbacks ahead of Week 7's visit to Denver.

Jackson won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars after sustaining a quad injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Jackson logged 12 carries for 42 yards and a TD and caught all 10 of his targets for 79 yards. With fellow running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) out Sunday, Jackson led the Colts' Week 6 rushing attack, but now his status will need to be monitored in advance of next weekend's game against the Titans.
