Perine rushed once for four yards and failed to secure his lone target in Monday's 28-3 loss to the Broncos.

Perine played 15 of the Bengals' 48 offensive snaps Monday, while starting running back Chase Brown was on the field for 35 snaps. Operating as the clear backup, the 30-year-old Perine was unable to do much of anything with his limited opportunities. Barring an injury to Brown, Perine doesn't hold much fantasy value on a struggling offense. The Bengals are set to host the Lions in Week 5.

Chestnut recorded one rush for zero yards and failed to record a catch on one target in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.

Chestnut remained the backup to Tony Pollard, though he was on the field for only seven offensive snaps. He has earned no more than two carries in a game this season and could shift down the depth chart in Week 5 if Tyjae Spears (ankle) can return.

The Buccaneers are still gathering medical opinions on an apparent ankle and/or foot injury to Irving, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The running back suffered a lower-leg injury in the team's 31-25 loss to the Eagles in Week 4, and he underwent an MRI on Monday. Irving hasn't been ruled out yet for Week 5, but he's still sore and his status is up in the air for the team's matchup with Seattle on Sunday. The Buccaneers will return to practice Wednesday, and the first injury report of the week will shed some light on where Irving is at physically.

Davis logged three carries for nine yards, two catches (on as many targets) for 18 yards and 108 kickoff yards on three returns during the Jets' 27-21 loss to the Dolphins on Monday.

Davis got his regular work on special teams as a kick returner, but he also logged carries for the first time since Week 1 following Braelon Allen's exit in the second quarter of Sunday's tilt due to a knee injury. Allen was diagnosed with an MCL sprain Tuesday and is expected to go on injured reserve, which puts Davis in position to serve as the Jets' top backup running back behind starter Breece Hall, with Lawrance Toafili being the lone running back on the Jets' practice squad. Davis and the Jets will welcome in the Cowboys for Week 5, whose defense yielded 117 rushing yards during their 40-40 tie to the Packers on Sunday.

Brooks had one reception for one yard in Sunday's 40-40 tie with the Cowboys.

Brooks played just five snaps on offense in Week 4, which put him well behind both starter Josh Jacobs and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson, who was on the field for 25 plays. Brooks played over Wilson during the first two weeks of the season, but the latter tallied 17 touches to just one for Brooks over the last two weeks, so Brooks will reside in the third spot on the depth chart heading into Green Bay's Week 5 bye.

Wilson had eight carries for 44 yards and three receptions for 37 yards in Sunday's 40-40 tie with the Cowboys.

Wilson racked up only 29 yards from scrimmage over the first three weeks, but he nearly matched that mark on a 25-yard reception in Week 4 and finished the night with a total of 81 yards. Wilson played behind Chris Books -- and of course, starter Josh Jacobs -- early in the season, but after racking up 17 touches over the last two weeks he heads into Green Bay's Week 5 bye as the clear No. 2 option in the backfield.

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.
