Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Leading rusher on 17 carries
Walker took 17 carries for 66 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Monday's 27-19 win over Houston.
Walked finished as the Seahawks' leading rusher with a team-high number of rushes on Monday Night Football. However, fellow RB Zach Charbonnet cashed in on a pair of goal-line carries en route to a 12-49-2 rushing line. Walker still is providing more volume out of Seattle's backfield through seven weeks, generating 430 rushing yards off of a career-best 4.7 YPC with three trips to the end zone himself. Both talented rushers will be worth starting in fantasy when the Seahawks return from the upcoming bye week to face the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 2.

David Montgomery RB | HOU
Lions' David Montgomery: Overshadowed by Gibbs on MNF
Montgomery was held to 21 yards on 13 carries while catching two of three targets for 18 yards in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.
Jahmyr Gibbs went off for 218 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on Monday Night Football, leaving scraps for Montgomery's fantasy managers in Week 7. The latter still received 15 touches, highlighting his continued involvement in Detroit's two-pronged backfield. Both talented rushers have recorded a game with 100-plus yards this season, with Gibbs having the edge in total yards (+269) and touchdowns (+3). Montgomery may not be as tantalizing an asset as Gibbs, but he should continue providing flex value in fantasy when the Lions resume play Week 9.

Tyjae Spears RB | TEN
Titans' Tyjae Spears: Records 40 yards from scrimmage
Spears rushed the ball five times for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Patriots. He added three receptions (on four targets) for 18 yards.
The Titans attempted only 12 rushes in the game, with Spears splitting the workload almost exactly evenly with Tony Pollard. More surprising was that Pollard out-produced him as a pass catcher, a role that Spears had seemingly taken over since his return to the field. While he's added an element to the Tennessee offense, the unit is poor enough that Spears won't be able to sustain fantasy value so long as he's in a timeshare with Pollard.

Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET
Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Goes for over 200 yards and two TDs
Gibbs took 17 carries for 136 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding three receptions for 82 yards in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.
Gibbs saved his best for the bright lights of Monday Night Football, generating his first 100-yard rushing game this season while going over 200 yards from scrimmage for the first time in his career. The fantasy stud had cooled off over the Lions' last two contests, so managers have to feel elated receiving Monday's late boon to their scores. David Montgomery struggled to generate 39 total yards on 15 touches, but he remains a steady presence as part of Detroit's thunder and lightning backfield. Gibbs sprints into the upcoming bye week tallying 720 combined yards from scrimmage and seven total touchdowns through seven starts in 2025. Fantasy GMs will have to hold things together until the Lions resume play against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Logs 14 touches in loss
White rushed 10 times for 38 yards and brought in four of six targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.
White drew another start for Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) but partly fell victim to game script, as the Lions had jumped out to a 14-3 lead by halftime. White also tied for second in receptions on the night for the Buccaneers, who lost Mike Evans to a concussion and what was ultimately diagnosed as a broken collarbone in the first half. Irving may be ready to return for the Week 8 road matchup against the Saints on Sunday, a development that would relegate White back to his customary No. 2 role.

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Returns to practice squad
Jennings reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.
Jennings was elevated to the active roster for the second straight week and ended up seeing some work in the waning minutes of Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans, carrying five times for 18 yards. The running back played nine snaps on offense, matching rookie TreVeyon Henderson for second among New England running backs behind Rhamondre Stevenson (49 snaps). Jennings can be elevated one more time before he would have to be officially signed to the Patriots' 53-man roster in order to suit up in future weeks.

Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR
Ronnie Rivers: Back with practice squad
Rivers reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Rivers was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars, failing to record any stats while playing one snap on offense and nine snaps with the special-teams unit. The running back is eligible to be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.
-
Nyheim Miller-Hines RB | NO
Chargers' Nyheim Hines: Returns to practice squad
Hines reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.
Hines was elevated to the active roster for a second straight game in Week 7, playing just one snap with the offense in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts. The running back instead made his biggest mark on special teams, where he returned four kickoffs for 98 yards. With Hassan Haskins (hamstring) listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Hines could be a candidate for elevation again in Week 8 with the Chargers facing the Vikings on Thursday.

Pierre Strong Jr. RB | GB
Pierre Strong: Returns to practice squad
Strong reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Strong was a healthy scratch after being elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 27-23 win over the Cardinals. The running back was expected to fill a complementary role in the backfield due to Josh Jacobs being a game-time decision due to an illness and a calf injury, but Jacobs ultimately garnered active status and handled the lion's share of the workload. Strong can be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

Malik Davis RB | DAL
Malik Davis: Back with practice squad
Davis reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Davis was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington, failing to record any stats on his only offensive snap. The running back was also on the field for 18 snaps on special teams, recording two tackles on kick coverage and one on punt coverage. Davis is eligible to be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.
