Dobbins carried nine times for 28 yards and caught two of four targets for one additional yard during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Eagles.

Dobbins' stats were nothing to write home about, but Mark Ingram left the game with an ankle injury, opening the door for the rookie to take on double-digit touches for the first time in his young career. The extent of Ingram's injury remains to be seen, but he will have an extra week to heal as the Ravens go on bye before returning to face the Steelers in Week 8. If the veteran is forced to miss any action, Dobbins and Gus Edwards would both stand to benefit from a fantasy perspective, though the team seems likely to continue its backfield-by-committee approach.

Mixon carried 18 times for 54 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 15 additional yards during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.

Mixon exited the game briefly with a foot injury -- which could in part explain his sub-par average of 3.0 yards per carry -- but he returned to the contest after a stint on the sidelines. He was facing one of the better defensive units in the league, so his struggles do not come as much of a surprise considering he came into the contest averaging 3.7 yards per tote on the season. Mixon has four total touchdowns over his last three games to keep his fantasy value afloat, and he'll look to make the most of steady volume again next Sunday against the Browns, assuming he doesn't aggravate his foot throughout the week.

Mattison registered 26 rushing yards on 10 carries, also catching one of two targets for four receiving yards during Sunday's 40-23 loss to the Falcons.

Game script worked against Mattison heavily in this one, with the Vikings falling into a 20-0 deficit by the halftime break. The 22-year-old back got out to a hot start with seven yards on his first rush attempt of the day, but his other seven first-half carries yielded a total of only 19 yards. Mattison was explosive in relief of Dalvin Cook (groin) last Sunday night against the Seahawks, gaining 136 scrimmage yards on 23 touches while posting a 5.6 yards-per-carry average. His fantasy utility may be diminished in the near future, as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Cook has an extremely strong chance to return following Minnesota's Week 7 bye.

Swift carried the ball 14 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6 against the Jaguars. He added three receptions for seven yards.

Swift posted his best game as a professional, as he saw his involvement in the offense spike significantly following the team's bye in Week 5. Entering the game, Swift had seen no more than five carries and 10 total touches in any contest. However, he took advantage of the increased opportunity, breaking off a 54-yard run -- the team's longest offensive play of the day -- while also finding the end zone twice from near the goal line. Adrian Peterson still earned 15 touches, though it's difficult to envision coach Matt Patricia turning away from Swift after this strong performance. The Lions will draw another manageable matchup in Week 7 against the Falcons.

Montgomery rushed 19 times for 58 yards while catching four passes for an additional 39 yards in the Bears' 23-16 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Fantasy managers were likely disappointed that Montgomery barely cracked three yards per carry against the second-most generous fantasy defense to opposing running backs, and unfortunately, he was unable to find the end zone on consecutive goal-line carries before Nick Foles eventually scored on the next play. Since taking over a full-time role in the backfield, Montgomery is averaging fewer than three yards per carry, but he's posted at least 30 receiving yards in each of those contests, making him a top-24 running back based on weekly volume.

Henry rushed 22 times for 212 yards and two touchdowns while catching two of five targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 42-36 overtime win over Houston.

Henry took a back seat to quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the first half, as Tannehill accounted for all 21 of Tennessee's first-half points with a trio of touchdown passes. It was all Henry after the break, though, as he rumbled for a 94-yard touchdown to retake the lead early in the fourth quarter and won the game with a five-yard touchdown in overtime. The superstar running back has scored multiple rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games, and Henry's averaging 117.6 yards per game on the ground heading into a Week 7 showdown with the Steelers.

Jones will have less competition for carries in Sunday's Week 6 tilt against the Packers with Leonard Fournette (ankle) inactive for the contest.

Jones logged 20 and 17 carries in Weeks 4 and 5, respectively, with Fournette limited to one snap over that span, and he could be in for a similar or even greater workload Sunday. It's arguably in the Buccaneers' best interest to keep Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones and the returning Davante Adams off the field as much as possible, so Ronald Jones could see plenty of work against a Packers run defense that's allowed 128.0 rushing yards per road contest.

Sanders won't return to Sunday's game versus the Ravens due to a knee injury. He'll finish with nine carries for 118 yards and one catch (on two targets) for minus-6 yards.

The bulk of Sanders' 112 yards from scrimmage happened on a 74-yard run in the middle of the third quarter. He fumbled right before the goal line, which his teammate J.J. Arcega-Whiteside recovered for a touchdown. The play marked Sanders' last touch of the game, as he was seen on the sideline receiving treatment of the Eagles' training staff thereafter. With Sanders sidelined, Boston Scott has been the next player up in Philadelphia's backfield.

Sanders (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Sanders' last touch came midway through the third quarter when he scampered 74 yards and fumbled just before the goal line. Fortunately for the Eagles, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside made the recovery in the end zone for the team's first points of the day, but Sanders may have been lost for the game in the process. Since then, Boston Scott has been the only Philly RB to handle touches out of the backfield.

Mixon returned to Sunday's game against the Colts after having exited the contest with a right foot injury.

Great news for the Bengals, as Mixon has been the team's clear-cut go-to back this season. Heading into Week 6, Mixon had logged 101 carries through the team's first five outings.
