  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Finds end zone in win

    Harvey rushed four times for zero yards and caught one of two targets for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

    Harvey was able to save an otherwise quiet day with a two-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter to bring the Broncos within three points of the Giants before Denver would ultimately go on to win. The rookie running back played just 20 of the Broncos' 81 offensive snaps, behind both J.K. Dobbins (40) and Tyler Badie (21). Harvey continues to see a modest role in the Broncos' offense, limiting his upside as a rusher. Despite seeing an uptick in his usage as a pass catcher in recent weeks, the 24-year-old's two targets against the Giants were his fewest since Week 2. Barring an injury to Dobbins, Harvey will remain difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production going forward. Up next for Denver is a Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys' vulnerable run defense, which could provide an opportunity for a bounce-back performance for the UCF product.

  • Jacob Saylors RB | DET

    Lions' Jacob Saylors: Role limited to special teams

    Saylors returned two kickoffs for 54 yards in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

    Since logging his first two NFL carries (and gaining 11 yards) in a Week 4 blowout win over the Browns, Saylors has played exclusively on special teams in the Lions' subsequent three games. In addition to serving as Detroit's top kickoff returner, Saylors also has a role on the Lions' coverage units.

  • Dylan Laube RB | LV

    Raiders' Dylan Laube: Three late touches in loss

    Laube rushed twice for three yards and caught his lone target for one yard in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.

    Laube handled three touches on just five offensive snaps late in the fourth quarter during the Raiders' blowout defeat, ceding work to fellow running backs Ashton Jeanty and Raheem Mostert earlier in the contest. Nonetheless, Laube managed to play through the hamstring injury that impacted his practice participation ahead of the Week 7 loss, while Zamir White (coach's decision) was a healthy scratch Sunday.

  • Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Notches 100 return yards in loss

    Mostert caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned three kickoffs for 100 yards.

    Mostert's 100 return yards marked a season high, but he failed to record a single carry after collectively rushing 16 times from Week 4 to Week 6 behind rookie Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders' offense will look to get back on track against the Jaguars in Week 9 following the upcoming bye.

  • Adam Prentice FB | DEN

    Broncos' Adam Prentice: No yardage in Week 7 win

    Prentice played seven of the Broncos' 81 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

    Prentice had logged one carry in each of Denver's previous three games, but the fullback didn't see any involvement on the ground Sunday while the Broncos were in hurry-up mode for much of the second half as the team clawed its way back from a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit. The 28-year-old has suited up for each of the Broncos' first seven games, playing double-digit snaps on offense in just two of those contests while carrying three times for 15 yards and adding a four-yard reception on two targets.

  • Tyler Badie RB | DEN

    Broncos' Tyler Badie: Rejoins backfield rotation Sunday

    Badie played 21 of the Broncos' 81 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 19 yards on two targets in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

    A healthy inactive Week 6 in the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets in London, Badie returned to action Sunday while Denver opted to have him suit up over Jaleel McLaughlin as its third running back. Badie actually ended up playing one more snap than fellow backup tailback RJ Harvey, and the former had a couple key catches late in the game as Denver overcame a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit. Badie also contributed as a return man for the first time all season, bringing back four kickoffs for 96 yards.

  • Hunter Luepke RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Records short reception in win

    Luepke corralled his lone target for a three-yard reception in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

    After hauling in a three-yard catch for the second touchdown of his career in a Week 6 loss to the Panthers, Luepke was unable to find paydirt Sunday but was one of eight Dallas pass catchers to finish with a reception. The fullback played just 11 of 67 snaps on offense and will continue to handle a limited role in the weeks to come.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Catches touchdown pass on MNF

    Marks rushed 10 times for 15 yards and caught three of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-19 loss to Seattle.

    Marks received double-digit carries for the second time this year, but he barely averaged more than one yard per tote. The fourth-round rookie did almost all of his damage as a receiver, catching his second touchdown of the season to cut Seattle's lead to one score in the fourth quarter. Marks did come up hobbling following his late touchdown grab, so make sure he doesn't pop up on the injury report leading into Sunday's tilt against San Francisco.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Struggles in loss Monday

    Chubb rushed five times for 16 yards and caught one of three targets for a loss of five yards in Monday's 27-19 loss to Seattle.

    Head coach DeMeco Ryans proclaimed that he wanted to establish the run against the Seahawks, but he proceeded to give his veteran starter five carries in a game that was never quite out of reach. Chubb didn't do himself any favors, averaging a season-worst 3.2 yards per carry in the loss. Rookie Woody Marks (10-15-0) didn't fare much better on the ground, but he did catch C.J. Stroud's lone touchdown pass of the evening. Chubb had been providing a high floor for those in deeper formats prior to Sunday's dud, so it could be worth giving him another shot against San Francisco's injury-riddled defense Sunday.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Hits pay dirt twice on MNF

    Charbonnet took 12 carries for 49 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for six yards in Monday's 27-19 win over Houston.

    Charbonnet was the money-maker out of Seattle's talented backfield duo Monday, cashing in both of his team's rushing touchdowns on the evening. Kenneth Walker (17-66-0) received five more carries and was the game's leading rusher, but it is obvious which stat line fantasy GMs would have preferred in Week 7. Charbonnet has five touchdowns in six games, but his usage in short yardage and at the goal line has contributed to a career-worst 2.8 YPC. The skilled backup should continue generating flex value when the Seahawks come out of a Week 8 bye to face the Commanders on Nov. 2.
