Mostert rushed 11 times for 51 yards and secured all three targets for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 42-38 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

The veteran running back's numbers naturally will be completely overshadowed by the otherworldly exploits of teammates Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but there's plenty of encouragement to take from Mostert's performance as well. To begin with, Mostert saw a nice boost in touches after logging only six in the opener, and he also appeared to have some of his trademark explosiveness against a tough defense. Additionally, Mostert outpaced backfield mate Chase Edmonds by six rushes, and if the former is blessed with more of a favorable game script in a Week 3 matchup against the Bills at home, he could see a bigger workload, albeit in an even tougher matchup on paper.

Robinson carried the ball 23 times for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts. He added two receptions for 14 yards.

Robinson was reportedly set to be in a timeshare with Travis Etienne, yet he earned 25 touches to Etienne's 12. Unfortunately, Robinson wasn't particularly efficient with his opportunity, though he did rip off a 37-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter. Through two games, Robinson has clearly operated as the top back in Jacksonville's backfield and has 147 total yards and three touchdowns to show for it.

Carter rushed seven times for 23 yards and caught all five of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

Carter got 12 touches to Breece Hall's eight, but Hall had the more productive afternoon, leading the team with 50 rushing yards and adding a receiving touchdown. Both dynamic young running backs should continue to play substantial roles in New York's offense against the Bengals in Week 3.

Hall rushed seven times for 50 yards and caught a 10-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's 31-30 win over Cleveland.

Hall caught a 10-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half, but that was his only target in Week 2 after Hall had 10 passes thrown his way in his NFL debut. Michael Carter also had seven carries but got more pass-catching opportunities, totaling five targets. New York has a near-even platoon between two running backs that are both capable of playing in all situations heading into a Week 3 visit from the Bengals.

Chubb rushed 17 times for 87 yards and three touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets.

After watching Kareem Hunt score twice last week, Chubb capped Cleveland's first drive of Week 2 with a four-yard touchdown run. Chubb scored again from seven yards out in the fourth quarter to break a 17-17 tie, then seemingly put the game away with a 12-yard touchdown run just after the two-minute warning. A missed Browns PAT followed by a touchdown-onside kick-touchdown sequence for the Jets produced a miracle New York comeback, but while Browns fans will be heartbroken, Chubb's fantasy managers can celebrate one of the top performances of the young season. Chubb has gotten 20-plus touches in each of Cleveland's first two games and should see another heavy workload Thursday against the Steelers.

Barkley rushed 21 times for 72 yards and caught three of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Panthers.

Barkley gained a bit of steam to end the game, but he was generally contained well after exploding for 164 rushing yards in Week 1. Still, for the second straight game, Barkley garnered 24 touches, serving as the Giants' workhorse in another narrow victory. He and New York will strive to keep the early season momentum going against the division-rival Cowboys on Monday night in Week 3.

Stevenson ran for 47 yards on nine carries against Pittsburgh on Sunday, adding a four-yard catch on two targets.

Stevenson is a capable back and one who could probably handle a bigger workload, but Damien Harris (15 carries, two targets) functioned as the lead runner in this one. So long as Harris is in the way it might be difficult for Stevenson to fully break out, though the two are capable of coexisting to some extent.

Harris rushed 15 times for 49 yards while hauling in five of six targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Patriots.

Although Harris missed the end of last week's regular-season opener due to a foot injury, he was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday and saw plenty of touches during the team's narrow Week 2 loss. Although he propped up his fantasy production due to his involvement in the passing game, he was inefficient on the ground, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry after being held to 2.3 yards per carry last week. Harris' volume hasn't been a significant concern early in 2022, but he'll need to be more efficient if he's to justify the lofty ADP that he commanded ahead of his sophomore season.

McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 102 yards and caught four of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.

McCaffrey ripped off a 49-yard run to begin the fourth quarter, helping him top the century mark on the day. Although he didn't find the end zone like in Week 1, McCaffrey was much more productive from a yardage standpoint Sunday. While it still wasn't enough to get the Panthers their first win of the season, McCaffrey carries some decent momentum into what could be a tough Week 3 matchup versus the Saints.

Harris ran for 71 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries against Pittsburgh on Sunday, adding two catches for 16 yards on two targets.

It was a nice game from Harris, whose 15 carries and two targets outpaced Rhamondre Stevenson's nine carries and two targets. So long as Harris' lead-runner role holds up, he should be useful in most fantasy formats, perhaps including against Baltimore in Week 3. The fears of him losing his starting role to Stevenson have not proven sound to this point.
