  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Efficient with eight touches

    Corum rushed five times for 19 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 53 yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

    Corum was 11 carries behind Kyren Williams, but the former managed to record his first rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run early in the second half. Corum also posted a season high in receiving yards with a big boost from a team-high 34-yard catch, making it a serviceable fantasy night overall. Corum is likely to continue in a complementary role during a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Rush TD on inefficient night

    Williams rushed 16 times for 49 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of eight targets for 27 yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

    Williams operated as the clear lead back while outpacing Blake Corum by 11 carries, three receptions and four targets, but the former found running room at a premium against a Bills defense that's been surprisingly stout up front. Williams was able to add his fourth rushing touchdown on a dramatic one-yard run with five seconds remaining in regulation to help force overtime, and he's now recorded at least six catches in three consecutive games. Williams should remain in a clear lead role when the Rams host the Cardinals in an NFC West matchup Sunday.

  • James Cook III RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Stellar night nearly ruined by fumble

    Cook rushed 10 times for 121 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday night. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

    Cook put together another highly efficient night that saw him gain significant chunks of yards on multiple carries, and which featured his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a 17-yard run in the latter portion of the second quarter. However, Cook dodged what would have been a major blemish on his night -- a lost fumble at the Rams' 20-yard line in overtime -- when Josh Allen subsequently mounted a successful game-winning drive following a blocked field goal by Buffalo's special teams. Cook will take 532 rushing yards and an average of 5.6 yards per carry into a Week 6 road matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.

  • Kalel Mullings RB | TEN

    Kalel Mullings: Lands back on practice squad

    The Titans reverted Mullings to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Mullings made his first gameday appearance of the season Sunday versus Houston and logged a three-yard rush on his lone offensive snap. He also contributed with 15 snaps on special teams. Tennessee has five healthy running backs on its active roster, so Mullings doesn't figure to see much action on offense even if he gets another elevation Week 6.

  • Lew Nichols RB | PIT

    Lew Nichols: Reverts to practice squad

    The Steelers reverted Nichols to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Nichols was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over Indianapolis and played eight of 60 offensive snaps, taking one carry for six yards. He also chipped in with 11 snaps on special teams. Nichols' elevation came as a result of Rico Dowdle missing the contest due to a toe injury. Dowdle is expected to be back Week 6, so Nichols may not be elevated again Sunday versus Tampa Bay.

  • Carlos Washington: Reverts to practice squad

    Washington reverted to the practice squad with the Dolphins on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Washington was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Bengals. The running back failed to record any stats in the contest while playing nine snaps on offense and three with the special-teams unit. Ollie Gordon (43) led the way in the backfield in offensive snaps, and if Washington is elevated again at any point this season, he'll likely operate in a similar depth role.

  • Roman Hemby RB | LV

    Roman Hemby: Back with practice squad

    Hemby reverted to the practice squad with the Raiders on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Hemby was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Patriots, but he was ultimately inactive for the contest. With Ashton Jeanty back to full health following an ankle injury, Hemby will likely have to wait for his next chance to be elevated down the road this season.

  • Zavier Scott RB | CHI

    Zavier Scott: Back with practice squad

    Scott reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Scott was elevated to the active roster to operate as an additional depth option behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Packers. Scott didn't log a snap on offense, and he recorded one tackle while playing nine snaps with the special-teams unit. The running back could garner another elevation in Week 6 against the Falcons if Kyle Monangai (toe) remains unavailable.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Eight touches in loss

    Holani rushed four times for seven yards and lost a fumble while reeling in all four of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers.

    Holani was unable to get much going on the ground in Week 5, and he put the ball on the ground twice in the contest, the latter of which resulted in a defensive touchdown for San Francisco with 18 seconds left in the first half. The running back entered the game having dealt with both a knee injury and an injured rib at practice throughout the week, but he was ultimately good to go, and he was estimated to be a full participant on the Seahawks' injury report Monday. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) not expected back in Week 6, Holani will once again operate as a top backup option behind Emanuel Wilson in the backfield against the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: Inefficient in overtime loss

    Robinson handled seven carries for 16 yards and did not catch his only target during Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss versus the Ravens. He also returned two kickoffs for 61 return yards.

    Robinson's seven carries in Week 5 were the fewest he's been given in any game so far this season, and the longest of those rushes only went for four yards. Atlanta's offense still runs through Bijan Robinson, but his backup could still be a desperate, touchdown-dependent flex play in deeper formats in a Week 6 matchup versus the Bears.
