Henry accounted for 81 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while also contributing two receptions for 12 yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Indianapolis.

Many supposed at the time that Henry's 238-yard, four-touchdown Week 14 performance against Jacksonville last season was an enigma, given that he had averaged fewer than 40 rushing yards per contest, and had five touchdowns in his 12 games prior. The former Heisman winner has since proven that he is here to stay as a fantasy blue chipper, picking up 80-plus rushing yards in five straight games, and registering six total touchdowns since that fateful Thursday night. In Week 3 Henry will aim to repeat his legendary performance from last December, facing a Jaguars defense that has conceded more than 4.6 yards per carry to opposing running backs thus far in 2019.

Elliott ran for 111 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries during Sunday's game against Washington. He also caught two passes for nine additional yards in the 31-21 win.

After playing in a somewhat limited capacity during the season opener, Elliott took on his usual workhorse role in this one and responded by averaging 4.8 yards per carry against a solid Redskins front. He took a backseat to the passing offense at times in the red zone but topped his day off with a short rushing score in the fourth quarter. Now back up to speed along with what looks like an elite offense, Elliott is primed for a big game next Sunday at home against an abysmal Dolphins team.

Barkley rushed 18 times for 107 yards and a touchdown while catching three of seven targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Bills.

Barkley capped the opening drive with a 27-yard touchdown, but New York struggled to move the ball after that. It was nice to see Barkley garner 21 touches even with the Giants playing from behind for most of the afternoon, but it's apparent that his scoring opportunities will be limited by the ineffective offense around him. Still, Barkley's a special talent who should continue to carry the Giants -- and fantasy teams -- on his back.

Singletary was forced out of Sunday's game against the Giants with a hamstring injury.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Singletary had logged six carries for 57 yards and a TD, while working behind veteran back Frank Gore.

Conner was forced out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a knee issue, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from Sunday's contest, Conner had logged 11 carries for 33 yards and a TD to go along with three catches for 12 yards. Next up for the Steelers carries in Conner's absence are Jaylen Samuels and Benny Snell.

The Dolphins are trying to trade Drake away, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on their Sunday morning pregame show.

There was some speculation in the preseason that Drake had fallen out of favor with the coaching staff given his placement on the depth chart. This seems to confirm that speculation.

Williams (foot) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the 49ers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Williams was limited in practice throughout the week and had been questionable entering Sunday. The rookie running back is near the back of the depth chart and isn't likely to see much of a role on offense when he does return to health.

Harris is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Harris is a scratch for this one, even with fellow running back/special teams ace Brandon Bolden out with a hamstring issue. At this point, it will probably take an injury to either Sony Michel, James White or Rex Burkhead for Harris to factor into the New England offense.

Wilson is listed as active Sunday at Cincinnati.

With Tevin Coleman sidelined due to a high ankle sprain, the 49ers opted to promote Wilson from their practice squad to serve as a reserve running back behind Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert. Mostert seems to hold more utility as a special-teamer than Wilson, but the former still stands to serve as Breida's primary backup during Coleman's absence. In six appearances last season, Wilson gutted out 266 yards at a clip of 4.0 YPC while hauling in 12 of 15 passes for 98 yards.

Mixon (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Mixon only managed one limited practice as part of his Week 2 regimen while he managed the sprained right ankle, but the injury wont keep him out of commission for Sunday. While Mixon is likely in line to draw the start, the Bengals could choose to manage his workload carefully if the ankle is at all inhibiting him during the contest. If Mixon is restricted, Giovani Bernard would be in store for increased work both in the run game and on passing downs.
