Brian Robinson Jr. RB | ATL
49ers' Brian Robinson: Season-high 36 yards Sunday
Robinson carried the ball nine times for 36 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 20-10 win over Atlanta.
Robinson's 36 rushing yards Sunday set a new high-water mark for the backup rusher through seven appearances with the 49ers. The nine carries tied his previous high set back in Week 1. This comes on the heels of a zero-carry outing against the Buccaneers last week. It makes sense that Robinson would see an uptick in usage in games that the 49ers play with a lead for most of the contest. While a similar situation could arise in a winnable matchup against the Texans next Sunday, Robinson is unlikely to sniff double-digit touches in his current role working behind Christian McCaffrey.

Kendre Miller RB | NO
Saints' Kendre Miller: Confirmed done for season
Coach Kellen Moore confirmed Monday that Miller (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Miller suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears, which knocks him out for the rest of the 2025 campaign. He had been operating as a sort of 1B to Alvin Kamara's 1A in the New Orleans backfield, totaling a 47-193-1 rushing line across seven contests. With Miller now done for the year, rookie Devin Neal figures to slot in as the RB2 for the Saints. A third-round pick in the 2023 Draft, Miller is under contract through the 2026 season.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Continues to have minor role
Singletary rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos.
Despite the fact that New York entered the fourth quarter having built a 19-0 lead, Singletary continued to spend almost the entire game on the bench. His two carries came on consecutive plays late in the second quarter, and he logged just one additional offensive snap in the contest. The veteran running back got some extra looks when Tyrone Tracy was sidelined with an injury in Weeks 4 and 5 (and for part of Week 3), but while Tracy and No. 1 back Cam Skattebo are healthy, Singletary will be relegated to few opportunities in the Giants offense.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Rips off 31-yard TD in Week 7 loss
Tracy tallied nine carries for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.
Tracy finished with the second-most carries and rushing yards among Giants players, and his performance was highlighted by a 31-yard dash through a gaping hole into the end zone in the third quarter. On a less positive note, Tracy's remaining eight rushes netted just 15 yards, and he wasn't involved at all in the passing game. Meanwhile, Cam Skattebo continued to lead New York's backs with 19 touches for 94 yards and a touchdown while out-snapping Tracy 46-28. Sunday's box score suggests that Tracy could have an occasional fantasy impact when the game script favors an increased workload, but it'll be difficult for fantasy managers to deploy him with confidence as long as Skattebo continues to lead the backfield.

Kendre Miller RB | NO
Saints' Kendre Miller: Believed to have torn ACL
Miller is believed to have suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
It's yet another injury for the 23-year-old running back, who missed 20 of 34 regular-season contests across his first two seasons before playing in all seven to open the 2025 campaign. However, Miller now appears set to miss the final 10 contests of this season after producing a 47-193-1 rushing line as Alvin Kamara's backup. With Miller looking done for the remainder of the season, Devin Neal projects to slide into the RB2 role for New Orleans.

Jeremy McNichols RB | WAS
Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Four touches vs. Dallas
McNichols rushed twice for 22 yards and caught two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys.
The Boise State product logged 21 offensive snaps and operated as Washington's No. 2 running back in the Week 7 loss, playing behind rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt (33 snaps) but ahead of Chris Rodriguez (nine snaps). McNichols also led the Commanders' backfield in targets and receptions, serving as the team's primary pass-catching back. He's expected to maintain a similar role in the team's Week 8 matchup again Chiefs.

Jaydon Blue RB | DAL
Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Career-high eight touches Sunday
Blue carried the ball seven times for 29 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
The rookie running back saw a career-high touch volume, although most of his work came on the Cowboys' final drive when the game was out of reach. Blue remains firmly behind Javonte Williams (116 yards and a TD on 16 carries) in the Dallas backfield, and his only real fantasy value is as an insurance policy for the former Bronco, who's already dealt with one serious knee injury in his NFL career.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | JAC
Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Scores in loss
Rodriguez rushed three times for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys.
The 25-year-old from Kentucky played a depth role in the Commanders' backfield again in the Week 7 loss, playing behind rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt (13 carries for 33 yards) and Jeremy McNichols (two carries for 22 yards). However, Rodriguez was the only running back to find the end zone, receiving a goal-line carry in the third quarter. He's now rushed 26 times for 117 yards and one touchdown through five appearances this season. Expect Rodriguez to play a reserve role in Washington's backfield again in Week 8, when the team travels to Kansas City.

Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Davis: Two carries, two catches in Week 7
Davis rushed twice for 10 yards and caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.
Davis continues to see modest usage as the top backup to Breece Hall in Braelon Allen's (knee) absence. Davis' role will likely remain limited in Week 8 against the Bengals, regardless of whether the Jets move forward with Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor under center.

Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Uninvolved in Week 7 loss
Wright did not log a carry or target during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Wright was active versus Cleveland after having been a healthy scratch the prior two games, but he played just nine offensive snaps and was statistically invisible while Ollie Gordon (five carries for 22 yards) operated as the No. 2 back behind starter De'Von Achane (13 carries for 82 yards). Next on deck for the Dolphins is a Week 8 road matchup against the Falcons, wherein Wright will work to compete for more opportunities alongside Gordon.
