Hines rushed twice for three yards and brought in three of four targets for 26 yards in the Colts' 27-24 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

The backup running back saw minimal action on the ground, but his pass-catching skills were put to use as customary. Hines hasn't logged more than four carries in any of the first three games, but he already has a pair of four-target tallies over that span and notched a season high in receiving yardage Sunday. The 22-year-old will look to up his contributions at the expense of the Raiders in Week 4.

Barkley (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Barkley went to the locker room in visible pain after his right ankle was rolled up on at the end of a second-quarter touch. Wayne Gallman will take over the Giants' backfield as long as Barkley is away from the field.

Barkley required help to get to the locker room after injuring his ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Barkley was in visible pain after his ankle was rolled up on at the end of a tackle. Expect the Giants to provide an update on his status in due time. In his place, Wayne Gallman entered the contest at running back.

Pollard carried 13 times for 103 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Dolphins. He also caught three passes for 25 additional yards in the 31-6 win.

Pollard tied his career high of 13 carries in a game his team was heavily favored in, responding with an impressive 7.9 yards per carry as he repeatedly gashed the Miami defense. He scored his first NFL touchdown on a 16-yard run in the fourth quarter and also showed his ability as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. Pollard has already touched the ball 34 times through three games and seems to have carved out a legitimate role as a change-of-pace option behind Ezekiel Elliott. Game flow will likely be a large factor in his usage, while next Sunday's road matchup against the Saints is expected to be much closer than this one.

Sanders rushed 13 times for 53 yards and brought in two of four targets for 73 yards in the Eagles' 27-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

Sanders showed off his big-play ability with a 40-yard catch in the first quarter and also enjoyed a solid day on the ground. The rookie's receiving yardage actually paced the short-handed Eagles pass-catching corps on the afternoon and served as his highest over the first three games of his pro career. Naturally, the fumbles are a concern for Sanders, and the fact Jordan Howard vultured a red-zone opportunity isn't ideal for fantasy purposes, either. Sanders won't have to wait long to atone for his pair of miscues, as the Eagles will face off with the Packers on Thursday night in a Week 4 showdown.

Thompson gained eight yards on four carries during Sunday's 33-28 win over Baltimore.

Thompson quadrupled his previous share of touches Sunday with Damien Williams (knee) out and Shady McCoy (ankle) exiting early. The rookie sixth-rounder's value is obviously dependent on whether one or both of the veterans return in time for Sunday's matchup in Detroit. If not, he figures to back up Darrel Williams, who picked up 109 total yards Sunday.

Williams ran for 62 yards on nine carries and added 47 yards on five catches during Sunday's 33-28 win over the Ravens.

A huge chunk of Williams' yardage came midway through the fourth quarter when he cut upfield on an outside run and gained 41 yards, getting tripped up just before he was able to head into the end zone. Williams was only able to get 14 touches due to Damien Williams' (knee) absence and Shady McCoy's (ankle) early exit. That he was able to gain 109 yards in relief is a testament to Williams' skill, the danger of any Chiefs back, or both. His viability next week in Detroit is obviously dependent on the overall health of the Chiefs' backfield.

Mixon rushed 15 times for 61 yards and caught both of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 loss to Buffalo.

Mixon's one-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter tied the game at 14-14. It was his first trip to the end zone in 2019 following a 2018 campaign in which Mixon scored eight rushing touchdowns and one as a receiver. The 0-3 Bengals played from behind throughout this one and are unlikely to employ many run-heavy game scripts this season due to a lack of leads, but Mixon's owners should be encouraged that he showed signs of life here after a putrid first two games. He'll hope to build on this effort when the Bengals travel to Pittsburgh for Monday Night Football in Week 4.

Jacobs accounted for 44 yards on 10 carries and was unable to haul in either of his targets during Sunday's 34-14 loss to Minnesota.

Jacobs has come back down to earth over the past two weeks after a historic NFL debut on Monday Night Football against the Broncos in Week 1. The Alabama product became the first player with 100 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in his first NFL game since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2001. In two games since, however, Jacobs has produced only 71.5 scrimmage yards per game with zero touchdowns. The rookie first-round draft choice aims to regain elite production in Week 4, taking on a Colts defense that let Atlanta running back Devonta Freeman establish a 5.5 yards per carry average Sunday.

Elliott carried 19 times for 125 yards and caught two passes for 14 additional yards during Sunday's 31-6 win over the Dolphins.

Elliott didn't face much resistance against a poor Dolphins defense as he gashed it for 6.6 yards per carry. He could have fared even better if not for a big game from backfield mate Tony Pollard, who piled up 128 scrimmage yards and a touchdown of his own. Elliott now has 264 scrimmage yards on 46 touches over the last two games and could face an even heftier workload next Sunday on the road against the Saints.
