Chubb did not play in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Falcons in preseason Week 3.

Some of the Browns regulars got work Sunday -- quarterback Baker Mayfield, running back Kareem Hunt -- but Chubb was given a pass. Chubb made zero headlines during training camp, which is a good thing. Chubb and the Browns will begin preparations for Week 1 of the regular season at Kansas City.

Ollison was the third back to enter the Falcons' final preseason game Sunday, rushing five times for 21 yards in a 19-10 loss to Cleveland.

Ollison ran with the first unit last week against the Dolphins, hinting that he was the first backup in Atlanta, but it was Caleb Huntley who relieved Mike Davis against the Browns. Head coach Arthur Smith didn't offer any insight on the depth battle after the game, so we'll have to assume both backs still are in the mix. Davis is the main fantasy target in Atlanta, but whoever ends up second on the depth chart could carve out some value if a timeshare develops heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Eagles.

Vaughn rushed 15 times for 29 yards, failed to bring in his only target and returned one kickoff for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-16 preseason win over the Texans on Saturday night. He also fumbled once, but it was recovered by Tampa Bay.

Vaugh once again paced the Buccaneers in carries, and despite the fact he averaged well under 3.0 yards per attempt for the third time in as many exhibitions, he doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing out on a roster spot. Greg Auman of The Athletic believes as much, considering he includes Vaughn in his 53-man roster projection as the fourth running back and a special-teams asset. However, Auman notes that Vaughn's fumble, which came on his one touch as a kickoff returner, doesn't help his chances of securing that role.

Phillips rushed eight times for a team-high 73 yards in Saturday's 23-16 loss to the Buccaneers in preseason Week 3.

Phillips finished the preseason as Houston's leading rusher, but it's probably not enough to unseat one of the four veteran backs ahead of him on the depth chart. Of the four, Rex Burkhead's spot is least secure, but the Texans might keep him and look to trade the 31-year-old to a team that needs a veteran back.

Mitchell rushed six times for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 preseason win over the Raiders.

Mitchell was serviceable in his first appearance as a pro. However, with Raheem Mostert, Trey Sermon, JaMycal Hasty and Wayne Gallman all excelling Sunday, it remains to be seen whether the rookie sixth-rounder has done enough to make the Niners' roster for Week 1's matchup against the Lions.

Clement rushed four times for 24 yards in Sunday's 22-20 preseason loss to the Patriots.

Clement outplayed starter Devontae Booker, who finished with just 17 yards on eight total touches. Nonetheless, as the regular season approaches, it still appears Booker is the favorite to serve as Saquon Barkley's (knee) top understudy. However, if Barkley is slowed at all, Clement could find more opportunities to see the field, beginning with Week 1's matchup versus the Broncos.

Stevenson rushed five times for 23 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 22-20 preseason win over the Giants.

Stevenson capped his excellent preseason with another standout performance. Although he failed on a two-point conversion attempt in the third quarter, Stevenson responded by scoring from nine yards on New England's next drive. The rookie fourth-rounder now will aim to keep his considerable momentum going in Week 1 against the Dolphins, when he'll likely be the Patriots' second rushing option behind Damien Harris.

Evans rushed three times for 10 yards and brought in one of two targets for a 29-yard touchdown in the Bengals' 29-26 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

The rookie sixth-round pick continued to flash his receiving prowess with the touchdown catch, which came early in the second quarter in connection with backup quarterback Brandon Allen. Evans has made an impression with his pass-catching skills in particular this summer despite recording a modest 49 total receptions in 42 college games at Michigan, and Sunday's score may have at least sealed him the No. 4 running back job.

Williams (hamstring) rushed nine times for 44 yards, brought in both targets for three yards and returned one kickoff for 23 yards in the Bengals' 29-26 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Williams needed to get out on the field Sunday to avoid missing the entirety of preseason and make a final case for a roster spot, and all told he did well with the opportunity. The third-year pro was solid in 10 games last season, averaging 6.0 yards per carry on his 26 rushes and adding five receptions. Given his productive performance Sunday, Williams may have assured himself a roster spot, but rookie sixth-round pick Chris Evans, arguably Williams' biggest competition for the No. 3 running back role, did flash with a 29-yard touchdown reception against Miami, while backfield mate Jacques Patrick garnered 61 total yards in his own right.

Mostert rushed seven times for 53 yards in Sunday's 34-10 preseason win over the Raiders.

Mostert garnered all of San Francisco's running-back touches on its first offensive drive and was highly efficient with his opportunities. He then saw rookie Trey Sermon incorporated on the second series, and fellow tailbacks JaMycal Hasty and Wayne Gallman shine afterward. Although Sermon should factor prominently in the 49ers' backfield rotation, Mostert seems the most likely candidate to start Week 1 versus the Lions, which would give him good upside as the leader of an often dominant running scheme.
