The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled the hearing for Elliott's request of an injunction to overturn his six-game suspension for Thursday at 2 p.m. EDT, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Elliott received a temporary stay of his suspension last week that allowed him to play in Sunday's victory over the Chiefs, during which he compiled 93 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries. While the running back has yet to miss any of Dallas' eight games to date, that could change Thursday in the event the court rules to deny Elliott's appeal and reinstate the suspension, which federal judge Katherine Failla previously upheld in an Oct. 30 hearing. If the suspension is back in place, Elliott wouldn't be eligible to play until Week 16 against the Seahawks, opening the door for Alfred Morris to step in as the starting running back in the interim.

Henry rushed eight times for a team-leading 26 yards and a touchdown while catching both his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Baltimore.

Henry got one more carry and the same number of catches as DeMarco Murray (shoulder), who left briefly in the second quarter due to a knee injury. The second-year running back's touchdown was a one-yarder that occurred with Murray watching from the sideline during the second quarter. This backfield is starting to trend toward more of an even split, with Henry likely to get a solid share of goal-line work given his power running style. Tennessee's offensive line play has regressed after a league-best performance last season, but the holes should still be there to make both running backs fantasy-relevant when healthy.

Foreman played 20 offensive snaps and gained 37 yards on 11 carries in Sunday's 20-14 loss to Indianapolis.

One week after Foreman was limited to one offensive snap and zero carries, he resumed his role as the Texans' No. 2 running back. Houston ran the ball well, gaining 4.5 yards per carry, but didn't run it nearly enough. Leaning on Foreman and starter Lamar Miller was expected to be the plan heading into the game after Houston lost starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee), but the Texans threw the ball 44 times compared to 21 rushing attempts. This, despite being a one-score game until late in the third quarter. The Texans have seen enough evidence to suggest they aren't going to be successful with Tom Savage chucking the ball over 40 times per game.

Rawls rushed nine times for 39 yards and tacked on 31 more with two receptions in Seattle's 17-14 loss to the Redskins on Sunday.

Rawls took over as the Seahawks' lead back after Eddie Lacy departed in the second quarter with a groin injury. Neither was the team's leading rusher however, as Russell Wilson outpaced them both with 77 yards on the ground. The severity of Lacy's injury will likely have a large impact on Rawls' workload in Week 10 at Arizona, as the former Packer had been tabbed as the feature back coming into this week's contest.

Kelley rushed 14 times for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Seahawks.

Despite not being at full strength and playing behind a banged-up offensive line, Kelley saw the bulk of the carries for the Redskins, rushing more than twice as many times as Chris Thompson and Samaje Perine combined. Of course, the 25-year-old back didn't do much with those carries, and Thompson outgained him with 20 yards on just four attempts. Nevertheless, the Tulane product salvaged his day with multiple chances from the one-yard line that he took in for scores. It remains to be seen if Kelley will get the same kind of volume going forward if he continues to be ineffective. Washington will face Minnesota at home in Week 10.

Kamara rushed 10 times for 68 yards and a touchdown and hauled in six of seven targets for 84 yards with another score in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Buccaneers. He also lost a fumble.

The versatile rookie made his presence felt once again, leading the Saints in receiving yardage while posting his best reception total since Week 4. Kamara also logged a rushing touchdown for the second straight week and posted scores through both the ground and air in the same game for the first time as a pro. The 22-year-old has proven to be the ideal complement to workhorse back Mark Ingram and has quickly developed into one of the best pass-catching backs in the league. He'll look to continue his impressive rookie season versus the Bills in Week 10.

Martin rushed eight times for seven yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Saints.

Like the rest of his offensive teammates, Martin was woefully ineffective, and he ultimately ceded plenty of work to Peyton Barber. The Buccaneers' sizable second-half deficit also played a part in Martin's season-low amount of carries, but the fact that he was eventually supplanted by Barber may portend some forthcoming changes in the backfield pecking order. Prior to Sunday's washout, Martin had averaged no better than 3.9 yards per carry in his prior three games and hadn't scored since Week 2. It remains to be seen if Koetter will opt to split the running back touches more evenly in a Week 10 home battle versus the Jets, but Martin's fantasy prospects look fairly bleak in the immediate wake of the blowout defeat.

Elliott carried 27 times for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-17 win over the Chiefs.

Fresh off the latest delay of his impending six-game suspension, Elliott wound up averaging an uninspiring 3.4 yards per carry while managing a long run of just 11 yards. Nevertheless, he still churned out production and scored his fifth touchdown over the last three games on a two-yard plunge in the third quarter. Elliott continues to enjoy a massive workload on a weekly basis, but it remains unclear if and when disciplinary action against him will go into effect. It came out this week that his legal personnel could be working toward a settlement with the league, making his status for next week's game against the Falcons even murkier.

Mack rushed nine times for 29 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 20-14 win over the Texans.

Mack was out-touched 20-9 by Frank Gore. Indianapolis' offense struggles to create scoring opportunities, and Mack continues to serve as little more than a change-of-pace option behind Gore, so the rookie fourth-rounder still offers minimal value in standard formats.

Anderson rushed for 13 yards on nine carries in Sunday's 51-23 loss in Philadelphia.

The commentators aren't kidding when they say that Denver's offense begins and ends with Anderson. In Denver's three wins this season, Anderson has averaged 118 total yards per game. In its five losses, Anderson has averaged just 43.8 total yards. It's hard to see it getting much better for Anderson as the Broncos are seeing a familiar formula used against them. Defenses are stuffing eight and nine men in the box to take away Denver's rushing attack early and force Trevor Siemian or Brock Osweiler to beat them on the outside. That strategy has worked, and Denver has fallen behind so often that it forces the team to abandon the run.
