  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Scores another touchdown

    Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Ravens. He added two receptions on two targets for 37 yards.

    The Rams possessed the ball for only 22:05 of game time while averaging only 4.7 yards per play. That led to modest stat lines for the entire skills corps, though Williams was on the better end of things thanks to a three-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. One play earlier, he made a falling 30-yard reception on fourth down that kept the drive alive. Overall, Williams delivered a well-rounded stat line and also kept the ball secure after losing a fumble in each of his last two games.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Another 100-yard effort Sunday

    Taylor rushed 21 times for 123 yards and a touchdown while securing all four targets for 14 yards in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Taylor put together another signature stat line, averaging 5.9 yards per carry on his way to his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season. He also scored his fourth touchdown of the last two games on a one-yard rush with under five minutes remaining to erase a 27-24 deficit and put the final points of the day up on the board. Taylor is already sitting on 603 rushing yards, seven rush TDs and an average of 5.3 yards per carry through six contests, and he'll face the Chargers' porous run defense in a Week 7 road showdown next Sunday.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Emerges as lead back in win

    Vidal carried the ball 18 times for 124 yards and also caught three of his four targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in the 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Despite reports earlier this week Vidal and Hassan Haskins would be a part of a committee, the second-year back proved definitively he was the more explosive player by tallying 138 total yards on 21 touches to Haskins' 23 yards on seven opportunities. Omarion Hampton (ankle) is expected to be out at least a month, and while the Chargers have reportedly been sniffing around available options according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Vidal's massive outing might quiet the trade calls for another week. It's worth noting Miami's run defense is one of the worst in the league, and it should be tougher sledding at home against the Colts next week.

  • Jordan James RB | SF

    49ers' Jordan James: Won't play against Tampa Bay

    James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

    The rookie fifth-rounder has yet to see regular-season action and will be a healthy scratch for a fifth consecutive game. Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo will serve as the 49ers' active running backs for Sunday's road tilt.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Cleared for second half

    Corum (ankle) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens to begin the second half, Erin Andrews of Fox Sports reports.

    Though he didn't log a carry or draw a target on the Rams' first possession to begin the third quarter that culminated in a Kyren Williams three-yard touchdown run, Corum looks like he's available to play through the ankle injury that forced him to the locker room in the second quarter. Prior to leaving the sideline to receive treatment, Corum carried four times for 14 yards in the first half.

  • Zamir White RB | LV

    Raiders' Zamir White: Inactive Sunday

    White is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    White is thus the odd man out in the Raiders' Week 6 backfield, so Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube are slated to handle the team's RB duties versus Tennessee. With 10 carries for 25 yards and three catches for 19 yards in four games thus far, White is off the fantasy lineup radar.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Hurts ankle Sunday

    Demercado suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game in Indianapolis.

    Demercado went to the locker room with a slight limp while favoring his left ankle in the second quarter. He's part of a backfield committee for the Cardinals along with Michael Carter and Bam Knight with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve. Demercado had one carry for one yard and didn't haul in his only target prior to his exit.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Exits game with ankle injury

    Corum is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to an ankle injury.

    Corum was taken to the locker room in the second quarter after sustaining the injury, though it's unclear when he got hurt. The second-year player had carried four times for 14 yards prior to exiting the contest. If Corum is ruled out for the remainder of the game, rookie fourth-round Jarquez Hunter would be next up for backup snaps behind starting running back Kyren Williams.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Six touches in London win

    Harvey rushed twice for four yards and brought in all four targets for 21 yards in the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets in London on Sunday.

    Harvey once again operated as the clear No. 2 back behind J.K. Dobbins, who significantly outpaced the rookie by 12 carries. However, Harvey continued to enjoy a solid pass-catching role, extending his streak of games with at least three receptions to four contests. Nevertheless, Harvey's persistently modest role will continue to render him as a deep-league-only option and large-field tournament play in DFS formats unless Dobbins sustains an injury.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Stymied by Jets defense

    Dobbins carried the ball 14 times for 40 yards and failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.

    Denver's entire backfield struggled to find running lanes Sunday, with no tailbacks finishing with a per-carry average higher than 3.0 yards in the win. Dobbins still comfortably led the Broncos with 14 rushing attempts, 12 more than rookie backup RJ Harvey. This was easily Dobbins' worst fantasy score of the season after providing managers with five weeks of consistent RB2 production. The veteran starter has an excellent opportunity to get back on track in Week 7 against the Giants, who currently are surrendering 128.8 rushing yards per game thus far this season.
