Johnson carried five times for 17 yards and added an 11-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 34-17 win over the Seahawks.

With Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb) inactive for a fourth straight game, Johnson continued to serve as the No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift. Unsurprisingly, Swift (27 carries for 69 yards and three touchdowns) handled the brunt of the work out of the backfield, with Johnson taking the field for just 14 of the team's 70 offensive snaps. If Monangai is able to make it back for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, Johnson's playing time on offense could disappear entirely.

Holani carried once for nine yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears. He also returned six kickoffs for 144 yards.

With the Seahawks clearing Zach Charbonnet (knee) to make his season debut and with Jadarian Price (chest) coming off injured reserve, Holani predictably saw his playing time out of the backfield take a hit. He was on the field for just 11 of the Seahawks' 63 offensive snaps, with his season-low 17 percent snap share placing him comfortably behind Price (48 percent) and Charbonnet (37 percent) but ahead of Emanuel Wilson (zero snaps). For the first time all season, Holani was called upon to serve as the Seahawks' primary kickoff returner, as Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Velus Jones (hamstring) were inactive Monday.

Wilson played just seven snaps -- all on special teams -- in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears.

After logging double-digit carries in six of the Seahawks' previous seven games while scoring four touchdowns and averaging 66.4 scrimmage yards during that span, Wilson fell out of the game plan entirely in Week 8. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) getting cleared to make his 2026 debut, Jadarian Price (chest) returning from injured reserve and George Holani still on hand as an option on passing downs, the Seahawks had no reps available out of the backfield for Wilson. Unless Charbonnet or Price succumbs to another injury, Wilson's playing time on offense will likely remain scarce moving forward.

Charbonnet (knee) rushed six times for 23 yards and brought in three of four targets for six yards in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Charbonnet took the first carry of the night for Seattle, gaining an encouraging five yards on his first tote since tearing his ACL in a divisional-round win over the 49ers in January. Charbonnet also subsequently rattled off a 13-yard gain in the third quarter, but he was limited on his other touches and ultimately had four fewer rush attempts than Jadarian Price. Charbonnet's snap share and touches should gradually increase, and a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals could serve as a good platform for his workload to see a nice bump.

Price rushed 10 times for 29 yards and brought in two of four targets for eight yards in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Making his return from a four-game stay on injured reserve due to a chest injury, Price ended up leading the Seahawks' ground attack in carries and rushing yards. Price's return coincided with the season debut of Zach Charbonnet (knee), who logged six carries in his own right in a game whose script eventually turned unfriendly to the running game. Monday may have served as a preview of that might be expected in terms of the division of labor between the two players, but more information will be gleaned during a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday that should afford both backs more opportunities.

Swift rushed 27 times for 69 yards and three touchdowns and brought in two of three targets for 10 yards in the Bears' 34-17 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.

Swift put in a full night's work while repeatedly butting heads with the Seahawks' elite run defense, as his longest run went for only seven yards and he averaged 2.6 yards per carry overall. Swift sealed the win for Chicago with his third touchdown of the game, a five-yard run with 4:41 remaining. That score was preceded by one- and five-yard scores earlier in the second half, and Swift's carry total was a season high. The veteran running back is up to a career-high 10 rushing touchdowns heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday night.

Wright rushed two times for five yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.

Wright failed to catch his lone target in the passing game and remains firmly planted behind Ollie Gordon on the depth chart. While Gordon has been one of the most productive running backs on a per-carry basis this season, Wright has seemingly been stuck in the mud as a runner, averaging a pitiful 1.9 yards per carry on 22 attempts.

Blue caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday night's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

It was the running back's first action of the regular season after he was signed to the active roster last week. Blue logged eight offensive snaps and sits behind Saquon Barkley and Elijah Mitchell on the depth chart. With Tank Bigsby (abdomen) likely due back in the near future, Blue's stay on the 53-man roster could be short.

Tucker didn't play any offensive snaps in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.

The Bucs' RB3 played one snap on special teams. He stayed glued to the sideline, as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell ran roughshod all over the Atlanta defense, combining for 52 carries for 310 yards and one touchdown. Tucker won't hold much fantasy value unless one of Irving or Gainwell goes down with an injury.

Perine rushed four times for 10 yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime win over the Titans.

The Bengals were chasing the Titans on the scoreboard much of the afternoon and Chase Brown and Perine combined for just 16 carries, as Joe Burrow fired off 48 pass attempts. Perine is a touchdown-or-bust desperation RB3 in fantasy whose main value comes in the form of being Brown's backup. Cincinnati has been linked to a potential trade for a running back ahead of next week's deadline.
