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.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Big workload in London loss
Hall rushed 22 times for 59 yards and recovered a fumble in the Jets' 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday in London.
Hall's workload was his largest of the season yet, as the Broncos and Jets engaged in a slugfest where pass protection was at a premium for Justin Fields, who was sacked nine times. Turning to Hall didn't yield particularly encouraging dividends for New York, however, as Denver's talented defense held the running back to a long run of eight yards. Hall had come in on an encouraging two-game stretch where he'd amassed 194 yards on 28 carries against the suspect defenses of the Dolphins and Cowboys, but the notable increase in the caliber of competition Sunday served to neutralize him. Hall and the Jets get an easier assignment in their return stateside, as the Panthers will pay a visit to MetLife Stadium next Sunday for a Week 7 interconference clash.

Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Inactive Sunday
Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
The running back is a healthy scratch for the second straight game, as De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon continue to lead Miami's backfield. Wright has yet to carry the ball in 2025.

Raheim Sanders RB | CLE
Browns' Raheim Sanders: Healthy scratch vs. Pittsburgh
Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
The undrafted rookie played three snaps on offense during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Bengals but has not played since. The Browns will go with a three-man backfield of Quinshon Judkins, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson for Sunday's AFC North tilt.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Ready to go for Week 6
Kamara (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
A limited participant in practice throughout the week due to the ankle injury, Kamara took a questionable tag into the weekend but never seemed at major risk of missing Sunday's contest. Now that he's confirmed as available for the Week 6 contest, Kamara should continue in his usual role as the Saints' lead option out of the backfield. Though Kamara's name has popped up in trade rumors as the 1-4 Saints navigate what looks to be a rebuilding season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that the 30-year-old back told general manager Mickey Loomis that he would like to remain with the franchise for the duration of his career. The Saints are expected to honor Kamara's request and hold on to him ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline, even though multiple contending teams would likely be in the market for his services.

Michael Carter RB | TEN
Cardinals' Michael Carter: Expected to lose touches to Knight
Bam Knight is expected to take on a bigger workload out of the Cardinals backfield alongside Michael Carter and Emari Demercado in Sunday's game against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Per Schefter, in a game that QB Jacoby Brissett is expected to start in place of Kyler Murray (foot), Knight -- who logged five touches in last week's 22-21 loss to the Titans -- is expected to see an expanded role, with Schefter suggesting that Knight is on track to work ahead of Carter, who had 23 touches versus Tennessee. With that context in mind, and with Demercado (three carries Week 5) also in the mix, Carter profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option Sunday.

Zonovan Knight RB | ARI
Cardinals' Bam Knight: In line for bigger role
Knight is expected to take on a bigger workload out of the Cardinals backfield Sunday at Indianapolis, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
In the absences of James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) last Sunday against the Titans, Knight was third in the RB rotation behind Michael Carter and Emari Demercado, but Schefter specifically noted that Knight is in line to work in front of Carter in Week 6. Carter recorded 23 touches on a 73 percent snap share Week 5, while Demercado (three touches, 28 percent) and Knight (five touches, 16 percent) were well behind him. If Knight supplants Carter at the top of the depth chart, the former would be slated for significant increases in both touches and snaps.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Candidate to lead backfield Sunday
Haskins is expected to lead the Chargers backfield Sunday against the Dolphins, with Kimani Vidal also slated to mix in, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
That said, offensive coordinator Greg Roman told Kris Rhim of ESPN.com on Thursday that the Chargers weren't planning on leaning on a lead back in Week 6 with Omarion Hampton (ankle) landing on injured reserve. Instead, Roman noted that Haskins and Vidal are both "gonna be big factors in the game, how it's gonna unfold from snap count standpoint...can go a bunch of different ways in that regard." Even if Haskins draws the start, both backs should contribute versus Miami as the team adjusts to being without Hampton for at least four weeks, with Garafolo suggesting that the running back's absence could extend beyond that timeframe. Meanwhile, Garafolo indicates that it's also possible that the Chargers add backfield depth ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline. Either way, Haskins and Vidal both represent lineup options for fantasy managers who had been leaning on Hampton or are otherwise looking for backfield help this week.
