Ogunbowale rushed once for a three-yard touchdown and secured three of five targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Ogunbowale functioned primarily in his usual pass-catching role, but with the Buccaneers trailing throughout the second half, he logged a robust 46 snaps from scrimmage and even converted a red-zone carry into his first career TD. He remains behind Ronald Jones and Peyton Barber in the backfield pecking order, but Sunday's performance could earn him more touches moving forward.

Williams logged just seven snaps on offense Sunday against the Texans, turning his only touch (a catch on two targets) for 52 yards.

Williams' involvement was more than cut in half from the 15 snaps he saw last week against the Colts, likely the result of LeSean McCoy becoming more involved again. At this point, Williams is essentially just a handcuff option that isn't guaranteed significant reps even if either Damien Williams or LeSean McCoy misses time.

Williams logged just one carry for six yards and caught one pass for a 14-yard touchdown Sunday against the Texans.

Williams fell behind LeSean McCoy in snap count Sunday, playing just 22 compared to 35 last week versus the Colts. It's not exactly an encouraging sign for future weeks, especially considering his two touches, but it seems unlikely he sees such meager participation again Thursday versus Denver.

Coach Pete Carroll expects Penny (hamstring) to practice in full Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Penny was listed as a full participant on the last two injury reports last week, but he still got a questionable tag and eventually was ruled out Sunday at Cleveland. This followed his return from a two-game absence as he tends to a hamstring injury. Even if he returns this weekend, Penny will play a distant second fiddle to Chris Carson, who has managed three straight 100-yard outings on the ground.

Singletary (hamstring) was on the field Monday during the Bills' practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Singletary has missed the Bills' last three games, but a Week 6 bye may have provided him with enough time to overcome his hamstring issue. On Wednesday, the team will unveil its first practice report of Week 7, which should provide a better idea regarding Singletary's status heading into Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

Barkley (ankle) is practicing Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The Giants are getting an early start on practice following a Thursday game in Week 6, but they won't actually release an injury report until Wednesday, so it isn't clear if Barkley is a full participant or still limited. He reportedly is taking part in team drills Monday, while Sterling Shepard (concussion), Evan Engram (knee) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) all are limited to individual work.

Mostert carried the ball four times for 13 yards in a 20-7 win over the Rams.

Mostert remained in a reserve/special teams role with Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida receiving the bulk of the work in the run game. The 27-year-old has displayed an ability to be a fantasy-relevant back when given adequate touches, but he simply isn't receiving enough playing time to warrant consideration heading into Sunday's matchup with Washington.

Snell rushed 17 times for 75 yards and caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.

Snell stepped into the backup role vacated by Jaylen Samuels (knee) and handled the duties with flying colors. Nearly half of the rookie's carries came in the second half after starter James Conner (quadriceps) left the game, but he was having a solid game even before the injury, outgaining and nearly doubling the starter's yards per carry (4.4 to 2.6 YPC). The severity of Conner's injury is currently unknown, but the Steelers do have their bye week coming up. Samuels has already been ruled out for a month, but if Conner is forced to miss extended time, Snell would become a high-priority waiver add with a soft matchup against the Dolphins in Week 8.

Ekeler carried the ball five times for 14 yards and also caught three of his four targets for 14 yards in the 24-17 loss Sunday to the Steelers.

An early 14-0 deficit essentially forced the Chargers to abandon the run, as Ekeler and Melvin Gordon combined to receive just 13 carries. Still, it was a bit of a surprise to see the third-year back receive just four targets one week after recording a team-high 16 in a similar game script. It's clear the return of Gordon has essentially relegated Ekeler to his primary backup role, with the shifty running back attempting just eight carries over the last two weeks compared to 56 in Weeks 1-4. That hasn't meant a significant loss in playing time however, as the 24-year-old is still seeing close to 65 percent of the offensive snaps each week, but the lack of carries likely hinders the type of upside fantasy owners might have hoped for after such an impressive start to the season.

Gordon carried the ball eight times for 18 yards and also caught three of his four targets for 30 yards in the 24-17 loss Sunday to the Steelers.

Falling behind 14-0 early in the first quarter, the Chargers were forced to abandon the running game for the second consecutive week as Gordon and Austin Ekeler combined for just 13 carries and 32 yards. Gordon was at least able to do more as a receiver, contributing 30 receiving yards after a paltry seven in his season debut last week, but suffice to say fantasy owners who waited patiently throughout the three-game holdout have not found much return on value.
