Pacheco handled one carry for no gain and was not targeted during Monday's game versus the Raiders.

Pacheco had seemingly broke through a barrier last week to the tune of 11 carries for 63 yards against the Buccaneers, but he followed that with a goose egg in production Monday on just two offensive snaps. The rookie doesn't play consistently enough to warrant lineup consideration at this point and is primarily viewed as a bench stash or dynasty league piece in a fluid Chiefs backfield.

Perine had three carries for 17 yards and another four catches for 39 yards in Sunday night's loss to the Ravens.

Perine played only 17 offensive snaps, so he was fairly active for those snaps. The Bengals did a better job of getting Joe Mixon going last week, so this sort of playing time ratio is likely to continue for Perine.

Harris (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple games, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Harris still needs further tests to determine the severity of his hamstring injury, but it sounds like the Patriots anticipate a multi-week absence. That could result in Harris being placed on IR and missing a minimum of four contests. Rhamondre Stevenson will step up as New England's top backfield option in the meantime, and that uptick in workload would make him an enticing fantasy play until Harris returns. Kevin Harris or J.J. Taylor could be elevated from the practice squad to provide depth.

White lost seven yards on his only carry during Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

White's only touch of the entire contest came on a seven-yard loss early in the second quarter, and he's now played three or less offensive snaps in all five games to start his rookie campaign. Starter Josh Jacobs retained his workhorse role out of the Raiders' backfield Monday, producing 193 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 26 touches. White heads into the team's bye week with just four carries for 19 yards this season.

Bolden took his lone carry for five yards and caught all three of his targets for 29 yards in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Bolden's 34 yards from scrimmage were a season high, but he played just 10 of 64 offensive snaps while workhorse Josh Jacobs handled 21 carries for 154 yards and a touchdown to go along with five catches on as many targets for 39 receiving yards. Following the team's upcoming bye, Bolden's role figures to remain limited against the Texans in Week 7, especially if the Raiders manage to build an early lead.

McKinnon carried the ball eight times for 53 yards in Monday's 30-29 win over the Raiders. He added two receptions on three targets for 19 yards.

McKinnon was out-touched 12-10 by Clyde Edwards-Helaire, but McKinnon was the far more efficient runner of the duo. He paced the Chiefs with 53 rushing yards, powered primarily by a 30-yard gain midway through the second quarter. Notably, Edwards-Helaire seems to have maintained his role as Kansas City's goal-line back, though McKinnon remains a significant part of the equation in the team's backfield.

Edwards-Helaire rushed the ball nine times for 15 yards in Monday's 30-29 win over the Raiders. He added three receptions on four targets for 20 yards.

Edwards-Helaire narrowly out-carried Jerick McKinnon 9-8, but he failed to get anything going on the ground. As has been the case throughout the season, Edwards-Helaire was more impressive as a receiver, and he managed multiple receptions for the fourth time in five games. He appeared to have a seven-yard touchdown reception midway through the second quarter but was ruled down at the one-yard line upon further review, and he got knocked out of bounds at the one on a four-yard catch in the fourth quarter. While getting across the goal line either time would have improved his stat line, Edwards-Helaire's usage as a bell cow in Week 4 appears to have been an outlier, as he now has fewer than 10 carries in all but one game on the campaign.

Jacobs rushed the ball 21 times for 154 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs. He also recorded five receptions on five targets for 39 yards.

Jacobs posted a career high in rushing yards for the second consecutive week, highlighted by lengthy gains of 37 and 21 yards. He also found the end zone for the third time this season, all of which have come in his last two games. While that production was encouraging enough, Jacobs tallied five receptions for the third consecutive matchup to showcase his ability as both a pass catcher and rusher. He's the clear workhorse back in Las Vegas and is showing the ability to deliver high-end production with his opportunity.

Foreman rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.

Foreman played just three offensive snaps behind star Christian McCaffrey. Although it's encouraging that Foreman at least got the ball while teammate Chuba Hubbard didn't on any of his 11 offensive plays, both running backs possess minimal value as long as McCaffrey is available.

Gainwell carried the ball three times for 20 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

The Eagles continue to have a very clear hierarchy at the running back position and don't appear to be interested in anything close to a committee. Even with Boston Scott out with a rib injury and replacement third-string option Trey Sermon claiming just three snaps, Gainwell was out-snapped by Miles Sanders by a 54-16 margin. The Eagles' rushing attack is potent enough that Gainwell instantly would become quite an interesting option should Sanders get hurt, but there's little reason to look towards a player averaging 23.3 total yards on 4.4 touches per game until that happens.
