Allen sustained an MCL sprain during Monday's 27-21 loss at Miami and likely will be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Prior to injuring his knee on a kick return in the second quarter, Allen was splitting the reps at running back with Breece Hall, with the former turning his four carries into 26 yards. If Allen requires a stint on IR, he'll be required to miss at least four games. In the meantime, Hall likely will take on a workhorse role out of the Jets backfield, while Isaiah Davis would be the top candidate to handle any reps that don't go to Hall.

Bigsby didn't play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Buccaneers.

The Eagles acquired Bigsby from the Jaguars after Week 1 but have yet to make him part of the offensive gameplan. He's been used as a kick returner but hasn't seen the field on offense in any of his three games with his new team. With Will Shipley back from an oblique injury, Bigsby is now the fourth running back on the depth chart.

Dillon carried the ball three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-25 win over Tampa Bay.

Will Shipley returned from an oblique injury, but Dillon remained the No. 2 back behind Saquon Barkley, seeing the field for eight offensive snaps compared to Shipley's three. Unless Barkley gets hurt, however, Dillon is unlikely to see enough snaps to have much fantasy relevance.

Shipley played just three snaps on offense and didn't record a carry or draw a target in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Buccaneers.

Shipley was back in action after missing the previous two games due to an oblique injury, but his role was almost exclusively limited to special teams, where he was featured as a kick returner. AJ Dillon (three carries for 17 yards) ended up serving as the No. 2 back behind Saquon Barkley.

Smith accrued four rushes for nine yards and reeled in three of four targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 37-20 win against Baltimore.

Smith's 19 offensive snaps represent the most he's seen through four games as a rookie, though the blowout nature of the contest certainly played a hand in Smith's increased workload. Three of Smith's four carries occurred in the fourth quarter of Sunday's tilt with the game well in hand. However, the rookie back also logged three catches on four targets. All of those targets came in the first half, suggesting the wideout-turned-running back from SMU may claim a slightly larger role on receiving downs moving forward.

Wright did not play any snaps during Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.

Wright hasn't logged a single snap on offense or special teams in the two regular-season games for which he's been active since returning from his knee injury, leaving backup duties to Ollie Gordon behind starter De'Von Achane. The second-year pro will work to get more involved as the No. 3 back in Week 5 versus the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 5, but at this stage it's difficult to envision a path for Wright to attain notable fantasy value in Miami's backfield.

Hill carried three times for 76 yards and a touchdown and added five receptions for 41 yards and another score in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Hill opened and closed the scoring Sunday. He punched in an 11-yard touchdown grab to cap off the Ravens' first drive, then finished with a 71-yard touchdown run to cut the Ravens' deficit to three scores with under two minutes to go. In between, Hill added a few short carries and receptions as the Ravens offense largely floundered. Hill out-snapped starting running back Derrick Henry 32 to 21, but the Ravens trailed from the second quarter onward and largely abandoned the running game.

Laube returned three kickoffs for 94 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

Laube did not take a single offensive snap in the Raiders' Week 4 defeat, despite fellow running back Zamir White's healthy scratch designation. Instead, it was 33-year-old veteran Raheem Mostert toting the rock behind starter Ashton Jeanty, and this backfield pairing combined for 200 rushing yards on just 25 total carries. Laube figures to remain stuck primarily in a special teams role against the Colts in Week 5.

Mixon (foot) is not ready to be activated off the reserve/non-football injury list this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The veteran back can be activated as soon as Week 5, but Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans was asked twice during Monday's session with reporters and declined to provide any kind of estimated return date for Mixon, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. While there's no official word, it doesn't appear he is close to returning. In the meantime, Woody Marks, fresh off a breakout performance in Week 4, and Nick Chubb will continue to share the bulk of the backfield work.

Mostert rushed four times for 62 yards and caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears. He also returned four kickoffs for 96 yards.

Mostert's 2025 debut with the Raiders was highlighted by a 37-yard carry in the fourth quarter, though he ultimately played just eight offensive snaps. Meanwhile, rookie Ashton Jeanty erupted for a 21-138-1 rushing line to go along with a pair of receiving touchdowns on as many targets. Zamir White was a healthy scratch, and Mostert likely flashed enough productivity in his audition to retain the RB2 role ahead of a Week 5 clash against the Colts.
