Henry ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Henry didn't get any chances as a pass catcher due to Tennessee throwing just 21 targeted passes, but his fantasy investors will always accept that tradeoff if it comes with 31 fantasy points on the ground alone. This game marks the fourth in row in which Henry breezed past triple-digit yardage on the ground, and there's a chance he gets more pass-catching opportunities when the Titans take on the Bills in Week 6.

Harris was forced out of Sunday's game against the Texans with a rib injury.

Harris previously left the contest with a chest injury but was able to return. Now he's added a rib issue to his Week 5 injury woes and will need to be monitored in advance of next weekend's game against the Cowboys . While he's unavailable, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden are on hand to handle the team's backfield duties. Prior to his second exit from the game, Harris had carried 14 times for 58 yards and a TD.

Harris (chest) returned to Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Good news for the Patriots, who were down to Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden at RB after Harris exited the contest. While Harris was out of the game, it was Stevenson -- in his first game since Week 1 -- who filled in as the team's top early-down back.

Benjamin (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the 49ers.

For the first time in his career, Benjamin is active for an NFL game after the Cardinals made him a seventh-round pick in the 2020 draft. He may just be an emergency option, though, after lead running back Chase Edmonds dealt with a hamstring injury of his own during Week 5 prep. If the status quo holds, Edmonds and James Conner will be the primary RBs for Arizona, while Jonathan Ward serves on special teams and Benjamin waits for his first snap as a pro.

Harris is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans.

Harris had 10 carries for 27 yards and a touchdown before going down with the injury. He nearly scored a second touchdown but lost a fumble at the one-yard line. Rhamondre Stevenson has taken over as New England's primary tailback in his absence.

Elliott (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Elliott logged limited practices Thursday and Friday and was officially listed as questionable by the Cowboys, but he's in uniform Sunday and in line to continue to pace the team's ground game, while Tony Pollard works in a complementary role. In Dallas' Week 4 win over Carolina, Elliot recorded a season-high 20 rushing attempts for 143 yards and a TD.

Edmonds (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the 49ers.

Edmonds didn't get on the practice field until Friday, when his reps were limited. At the time, coach Kliff Kingsbury called Edmonds a game-time decision, but the fourth-year running back seemingly has progressed enough to play through his shoulder injury. With Edmonds in the lineup Week 5, the Cardinals likely will utilize the same 1A and 1B backfield situation (Edmonds and James Conner) as the first four games of the campaign.

Kelley is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

Kelley will be active for the first time this season, but he's not expected to have a large role in a backfield that's crowded and led by Austin Ekeler and Larry Rountree.

Carter recorded 10 rushes for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He added three receptions for 20 yards.

Carter accounted for 10 of the team's 18 rushing attempts, more than doubling the marks of both Ty Johnson and Tevin Coleman. He wasn't particularly effective, as his longest rush went for only nine yards. However, he did plunge into the end zone for a two-yard score midway through the fourth quarter. Carter also supplemented his performance with a career-best three receptions. Though the performance wasn't overly impressive, Carter continues to operate as the team's top back heading into a Week 6 bye.

Patterson, who was evaluated for a head injury early in Sunday's game but was cleared, recorded 14 rushes for 54 yards in the win over the Jets. He added seven receptions on nine targets for 60 yards.

Patterson doubled his previous high in rushing attempts on the season and narrowly outpaced Mike Davis in both yards and attempts. Patterson also took advantage of several pass catchers being absent -- most notably, Calvin Ridley (personal) -- to rack up a season-high seven receptions. Though competition for volume was reduced in this contest, it's clear that Patterson has solidified a significant role in the Falcons offense as both a receiver and rusher. He and the team head into a Week 6 bye and will retake the field in Week 7 against Miami.
