Keaontay Ingram RB | KC
Cardinals' Keaontay Ingram: Inactive again Sunday
Ingram (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Las Vegas, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Like he was in the opener, Ingram is a healthy scratch Week 2. With the rookie sixth-round pick in street clothes, Arizona again will rely on James Conner as the team's top runner, while Eno Benjamin handles primary backup duties and Darrel Williams and Jonathan Ward likely stick to special-teams roles.

Brandon Bolden RB | LV
Raiders' Brandon Bolden: Inactive in Week 2
Bolden (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 clash against the Cardinals.
As became increasingly expected as the week unfolded, Bolden will not be healthy enough to suit up after recording a receiving touchdown in the Week 1 loss to the Chargers. In his absence, Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White could be beneficiaries in the form of complementary snaps behind Josh Jacobs against Arizona.

Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI
Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Set for pro debut Sunday
Allgeier is listed as active Sunday at the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
A rookie fifth-round pick, Allgeier was a healthy scratch during the Falcons' season-opening loss to the Saints, as the team rolled with Cordarrelle Patterson, Damien Williams and Avery Williams at running back. Damien Williams picked up a rib injury during that contest and proceeded to miss every Week 2 practice before the team ruled him out Friday and placed him on IR on Saturday. With the older Williams sidelined for at least the next four games, Allgeier will get a chance to make his presence felt on the field, though Patterson still is expected to garner most of the RB reps Sunday.

Isiah Pacheco RB | DET
Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Minimal output versus Chargers
Pacheco had two rushes for six yards during Thursday's 27-24 victory over the Chargers.
Pacheco logged 16 snaps in the opener due to the blowout nature of the contest, so it's no surprise his workload shrunk to just five snaps in Week 2. The 2022 seventh-rounder doesn't figure to be in line to play considerable snaps on offense consistently but could claim an expanded role should Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Jerick McKinnon miss time down the road.
-
Jerick McKinnon RB | KC
Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Tallies TD grab in Week 2
McKinnon logged four carries for 12 yards and hauled in both of his targets for four yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 27-24 victory over the Chargers.
McKinnon actually outsnapped Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the contest 27-25, though it still resulted in six fewer touches. Either way, McKinnon has cemented himself as a regular in a committee approach to Kansas City's backfield and could take over a larger workload should CEH miss any time.
-
Dwayne Washington RB | DEN
Saints' Dwayne Washington: Will play Sunday
Washington (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
With Alvin Kamara (ribs) out, Washington and Tony Jones are on hand to work behind Mark Ingram in the Saints' Week 2 backfield.
-
Ke'Shawn Vaughn RB | SF
Buccaneers' Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Healthy scratch Sunday
Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Saints.
Vaughn will sit in favor of the veteran Giovani Bernard once again. The former will continue to work to earn a chance to suit up in Week 3 against the Packers.

Kenyan Drake RB | GB
Ravens' Kenyan Drake: Expanded role in Week 2
With J.K. Dobbins (knee) inactive, Drake is in line to again see added work in the Ravens' backfield Sunday against the Dolphins, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
With Dobbins sidelined in the Ravens' 24-9 win over the Jets last weekend, Drake, who Hensley indicates will start Sunday, logged 33 snaps on offense en route to carrying 11 times for 31 yards and logging one catch for 15 yards, while Mike Davis was out there for seven snaps (two carries for 11 yards) and Justice Hill saw 11 snaps and rushed twice for four yards and caught two passes for seven yards. Drake thus figures to continue to see his share of touches against Miami, which makes him a Week 2 lineup option for those in deeper fantasy formats or in need of short-term RB help.
-
Salvon Ahmed RB | CHI
Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Active for Week 2
Ahmed (heel) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
With Myles Gaskin inactive Sunday, Ahmed is in uniform; however, he figures to work behind Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert, a context that gives Ahmed limited Week 2 fantasy upside.
-
Myles Gaskin RB | SEA
Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Inactive Sunday
Gaskin is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
With Gaskin the odd man out Sunday, Salvon Ahmed is active and in line to work behind Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert in Miami's Week 2 backfield.
