Dante Miller RB | NYG
Dante Miller: Clear of injury
Miller (groin) was cleared of any injury designation Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Miller was waived by the Giants with an injury settlement in mid-August. Now, with no injury designation, the 27-year-old can re-sign with the Giants this season. The third-year pro played two games with New York in 2024, recording seven special teams snaps and one on offense.

Deuce Vaughn RB | HOU
Deuce Vaughn: Signs to practice squad
The Texans signed Vaughn to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Vaughn had a brief stint with the Texans in August before being waived ahead of Week 1. The 24-year-old has not played in a regular-season game since the 2024 season, where he recorded 17 rush attempts for 70 yards and caught three of five targets for 18 yards.

Christopher Brooks RB | GB
Packers' Chris Brooks: Undergoes tests on ankle
Brooks underwent further tests on his ankle Monday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Brooks underwent further tests on his ankle after leaving Sunday's Week 4 game with an ankle injury. The 26-year-old has seen more reps through four weeks with starter Josh Jacobs (personal) remaining out.

Joe Mixon RB | HOU
Joe Mixon: Not joining Seattle after all
The Seahawks opted not to sign Mixon (foot) after he underwent a physical for the team Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
With Jadarian Price (chest) recently landing on injured reserve and with Zach Charbonnet (knee) not expected to return from the PUP list until at least Week 6, Seattle planned to bring Mixon aboard to bolster their running-back room. However, the Seahawks evidently had some reservations about Mixon's health after reviewing his physical, and the 30-year-old will now remain a free agent. Mixon last appeared in the NFL with the Texans in 2024, as he missed the entire 2025 campaign due to an unspecified foot/ankle injury that he ultimately addressed with a surgery earlier this past offseason.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Two rush TDs in return to lead role
Kamara rushed seven times for 23 yards and two touchdowns and brought in five of seven targets for 35 yards in the Saints' 45-24 loss to the Falcons on Monday night.
With Travis Etienne (hamstring, IR) missing his first game of the season, Kamara was back in the familiar lead role he'd filled with great success previously. While Kamara's rushing opportunities were ultimately limited significantly by game script, the veteran back maximized his time on the field by scoring from three and five yards out in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. Kamara could have more of an opportunity for a normal rushing workload -- albeit in a tough matchup -- in a Week 5 home matchup against the Vikings on Sunday.

Ty Johnson RB | BUF
Bills' Ty Johnson: Contributes 12 yards in Week 4 loss
Johnson rushed once for three yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards Sunday in a loss to New England.
Johnson logged 19 offensive snaps, well ahead of the four snaps played by Ray Davis and well behind the 35 snaps logged by starter James Cook. Johnson logged 50 receiving yards in his season debut in Week 3, and six of his seven touches this season have been receptions, so he clearly has a role as a pass catcher in Buffalo's offense. With that said, Johnson doesn't have a reliable weekly fantasy floor and isn't a trustworthy fantasy asset as long as Cook is healthy.

Brian Robinson Jr. RB | ATL
Falcons' Brian Robinson: Racks up three TDs in win
Robinson rushed 14 times for 62 yards and three touchdowns and brought in his sole target for five yards in the Falcons' 45-24 win over the Saints on Monday night.
After Bijan Robinson staked the Falcons to an early 14-0 lead with his pair of touchdown runs, it was Brian Robinson's turn from the second quarter on. The veteran backup took center stage with touchdown runs of four, eight and 11 yards in each of the last three quarters, and given the increasingly lopsided nature of the game, Brian was able to finish with just five fewer rush attempts than Bijan. Brian has now logged double-digit carries in three straight games while recording at least 50 rush yards in each of those contests, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 5 home matchup against the Ravens on Sunday night.

Roschon Johnson RB | CHI
Bears' Roschon Johnson: Handles five touches against Jets
Johnson rushed four times for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets. He added one catch for seven yards on one target.
The Bears thoroughly dominated the Jets in time of possession and ran a whopping 93 offensive plays to New York's 34. Johnson saw 10 snaps on offense, as Kyle Monangai (thumb) and D'Andre Swift, who dealt with a knee injury during the practice week, combined to rush 45 times for 204 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson would be in line for additional work if Monangai needs to miss any game action.

Tyler Badie RB | DEN
Broncos' Tyler Badie: Helps as runner, receiver, returner Sunday
Badie carried twice for seven yards, caught both of his targets for 32 yards, ran in a two-point conversion and returned one kickoff for 21 yards in a loss to San Francisco in Week 4.
Badie chipped in for the Broncos in multiple facets. The highlights of his performance were a 25-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter and a two-point conversion on a run up the middle in the fourth quarter. Badie doesn't have much fantasy value given the low volume of touches he gets on a weekly basis, so it would likely take injuries ahead of him on the RB depth chart for Badie to become an intriguing waiver-wire addition.

Demond Claiborne RB | MIN
Vikings' Demond Claiborne: Quiet outing in win
Claiborne carried the ball three times for 12 yards during Minnesota's win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Claiborne continued to serve a limited role behind Aaron Jones even with Jordan Mason (thumb) on injured reserve. Claiborne will look to be more involved offensively during next week's matchup versus the Saints.
