Edwards registered 25 rushing yards on seven attempts, recording zero receptions on three targets during Sunday's 27-3 win against Cincinnati.

The 25-year-old back ranked second to Mark Ingram in Ravens carries, but his 3.6 yards-per-carry average ran contrary to the explosive 6.2 YPC clip he established Weeks 1 through 4. Despite the efficiency he displayed prior to Sunday, Edwards still resides within a workshare alongside Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Eagles.

Conner carried the ball 15 times for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Eagles. He added three receptions for 19 yards.

Conner was held in check by the stout Eagles defensive line as 25 of his 44 yards came on a single carry. However, he still found the end zone on a one-yard score early in the third quarter to help salvage his performance. Even after the relatively poor effort, Conner has 350 total yards and three touchdowns through four contests. He should remain heavily involved in the offense as the Steelers take on the Browns in Week 6.

Edwards-Helaire rushed 10 times for 40 yards and brought in three of eight targets for 40 yards in the Chiefs' 40-32 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

The rookie looked like he was on his way to a big day against a vulnerable Raiders defense when he rattled off 17 yards on his first two carries. However, he totaled just 23 yards on his eight other rushes, and game script ultimately forced the Chiefs into an even more pass-heavy mode than normal late in the contest. Edwards-Helaire will look bounce back from his second-lowest rushing output of the season at the expense of the Bills in a Week 6 Monday evening matchup.

Gibson rushed 11 times for 27 yards and brought in all five targets for 24 yards in the Washington Football Team's 30-10 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

The versatile running back once again paced the backfield in carries and had a solid role in the passing game, but with the duo of Kyle Allen and Alex Smith averaging a minuscule 3.7 yards per attempt, there just wasn't much upside to be had. Gibson does appear to enjoy clear lead-back status at the moment, and the fact he's seen five targets apiece in back-to-back games is certainly encouraging. Gibson will look for more overall production and opportunity in a favorable Week 6 road matchup against the division-rival Giants.

Robinson rushed the ball 13 times for 48 yards in Week 5 against Houston. He added five receptions for 22 yards through the air.

Robinson was bottled up by the Texans, as his longest gain of the day was a 14-yard rush midway through the first quarter. It was the first time since Week 1 that Robinson failed to top 100 total yards, though he still commanded 13 of the 15 carries that went to Jacksonville's running backs. Also encouraging was his heavy involvement in the passing game, as he finished second on the team in both targets and receptions. With volume still on his side, Robinson should be in for a bounceback performance against the Lions in Week 6.

Sanders rushed for 80 yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns in Week 5 against the Steelers. He added two receptions for 19 yards.

Sanders delivered the Eagles' best offensive play of the game, breaking free for a 74-yard touchdown just before the end of the first quarter. He was largely smothered otherwise, though he also found the end zone in the second quarter on a one-yard score. Since missing the team's Week 1 contest against Washington, Sanders has topped 95 total yards in three of four games. He'll look to add to that in a tough Week 6 matchup against the Ravens.

Jacobs rushed 23 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns and brought in two of three targets for eight yards in the Raiders' 40-32 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Jacobs found running room to be at a premium against the Chiefs' athletic front seven, with his long run of the day going for just seven yards. However, the second-year back was able to power into the end zone from seven and two yards out in the fourth quarter, and a seven-yard run on Las Vegas' final drive helped ice the win by forcing KC to use its last timeout. Jacobs' pair of scores were his first since Week 1, and he'll look to build on Sunday's effort in a Week 7 matchup against the Buccaneers following a Week 6 bye.

Edmonds carried the ball three times for 36 yards and a touchdown and caught five of six targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

While Kenyan Drake saw 19 touches to Edmonds' eight, it was the latter who led the Arizona backfield in yardage as he dashed for a 29-yard TD in the first quarter and added a 30-yard reception in the second. It was Edmonds' best yardage total yet this season and he's making a strong case for a bigger workload, but he may not need many touches to make an impact in Week 6 against a porous Dallas defense.

Drake carried the ball 18 times for 60 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

He led the Cards in rushing on the afternoon and scored his second TD of the season, but Drake's 3.3 yards per carry was far from effective and his longest tote went for only 10 yards. Chase Edmonds was more productive on less than half the touches and Drake's hold on the starting job therefore remains tenuous, but both backs could be poised for big days in Week 6 against a porous Dallas defense.

Mixon registered 59 rushing yards on 24 carries, adding six receptions for 35 yards during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Ravens.

Even in a game script that involved Cincinnati falling into a 17-0 halftime deficit, the 24-year-old back still managed to garner 24-plus carries for a second consecutive game. Mixon's involvement as a pass-catcher has increased of late as well, as he has translated 14 targets into 12 receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks. Upcoming next is an extremely challenging opponent for Mixon, as he and the Bengals offense face a Colts defense that entered Week 5 as the No. 1 unit in the NFL in terms of DVOA.
