  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Concern regarding knee injury

    Saints coach Kellen Moore said there's concern for Miller's knee injury following Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Bears, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Miller logged one carry for seven yards before exiting with a knee injury in the first half. The third-year running back walked to the locker room under his own power, per Terrell, but he was ruled out shortly after halftime. The first two seasons of Miller's career were hampered by injuries, in particular hamstring and ankle issues, and it wasn't until recently that he'd finally settled into a consistent RB2 role. He's already logged career highs in carries (47) and rushing yards (193) across seven games this season. If Miller misses time, then Devin Neal should stand to see increased carries behind RB1 Alvin Kamara.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Only bright spot in ugly loss

    Achane rushed 13 times for 82 yards and brought in three of five targets for 16 yards in the Dolphins' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    The Dolphins' point total and the fact Tua Tagovailoa managed only 100 passing yards while throwing three interceptions essentially tells the tale of the type of day it was for Miami's offense as a whole. Therefore, Achane's solid numbers served as the one bright spot for Mike McDaniel's squad, and the speedy running back gained well more than half his total on a 46-yard run late in the first quarter. Achane has rattled off 210 rushing yards and a pair of Week 6 rushing touchdowns on 29 carries over his last two games, but the Dolphins' reeling offensive unit faces an unenviable Week 8 road matchup against the Falcons next Sunday afternoon.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Won't return Week 7

    Nwangwu (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Nwangwu went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion, and the 2021 fourth-rounder will not return to Sunday's contest. Isaiah Williams will likely handle returns on kickoffs the rest of the way.

  • Packers' Pierre Strong: Healthy scratch Week 7

    Strong (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    With Josh Jacbos (calf/illness) officially cleared to play, Strong will observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks provide depth out of the backfield. The Packers elevated Strong from the practice squad Saturday, and he can be brought up twice more by Green Bay this season.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Possible concussion

    Nwangwu went to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Panthers to be evaluated for a potential concussion, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Nwangwu went to the locker room to get checked for a possible concussion during the third quarter of Sunday's game. The return specialist had one return for 29 yards against the Panthers and is averaging 35.0 yards per return this season.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Active in Week 7

    Jacobs (illness/calf) is listed as active Sunday at Arizona, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Jacobs was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness, but despite the Packers tacking on a calf injury on Friday's practice report, he logged a full session to end Week 7 prep. A questionable designation for Jacobs ensued before Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that the running back was a "true game-time decision." Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Jacobs completed a pregame workout Sunday, after which uncertainty surrounding his availability was extinguished. However, it's unknown if Jacobs will be able to take on his normal 22.6 touches per game. If Jacobs yields some of those reps to the rest of Green Bay's backfield, Emanuel Wilson likely will be the biggest beneficiary, with Chris Brooks also on hand for work.

  • Hassan Haskins RB | LAC

    Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Active Sunday

    Haskins (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Haskins was an addition to the Chargers' injury report Thursday but was listed as a full participant at that day's practice. Though the running back followed that up with a full session Friday, he was still deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With his active status confirmed, Haskins -- who had six carries and a catch in last week's win over Miami -- is available to work behind Kimani Vidal (who was the team's starter versus the Dolphins while recording 18 carries, three catches and a TD), with practice-squad elevation Nyheim Hines also on hand.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Gets extra work in blowout win

    Corum (ankle) rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Corum was able to work back from an ankle injury that limited him during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's overseas tilt in London. The 24-year-old wound up handling a season-high 12 carries, matching starter Kyren Williams (12-54-0) in a game dominated by Los Angeles' passing attack. It is important to note that half of Corum's carries came late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach, so this was unlikely a changing of the guard in the Rams' backfield. The 2024 third-round pick was averaging 4.8 rushing attempts per game prior to the Week 7 outburst, so managers should keep expectations in check coming out of the Rams' upcoming bye week.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Quiet day in blowout win

    Williams took 12 carries for 54 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-7 overseas win over Jacksonville.

    Williams' managers suffered a casual stat line in Sunday's one-sided affair after the Rams' passing attack accounted for all five of the team's trips to the end zone in London. The veteran starter's even carry split with Blake Corum (12-37-0) can also be attributed to an unfavorable game script, with six of the backup's carries essentially coming in garbage time. Williams has been a reliable starter in fantasy in 2025, generating 638 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns through seven starts. A lack of scoring is the only thing holding the 24-year-old back from his first-round projections, as he is currently on pace to score 12 touchdowns after averaging 15.5 over his last two standout seasons. Williams will be looking to hit pay dirt when the Rams come out of the bye to face the Saints in Week 9.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Hurts knee Sunday

    Miller was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bears with a knee injury.

    Before his exit, Miller carried once for seven yards. In his absence, Devin Neal is on hand to back up starting RB Alvin Kamara.
