Blue caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday night's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

It was the running back's first action of the regular season after he was signed to the active roster last week. Blue logged eight offensive snaps and sits behind Saquon Barkley and Elijah Mitchell on the depth chart. With Tank Bigsby (abdomen) likely due back in the near future, Blue's stay on the 53-man roster could be short.

Tucker didn't play any offensive snaps in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.

The Bucs' RB3 played one snap on special teams. He stayed glued to the sideline, as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell ran roughshod all over the Atlanta defense, combining for 52 carries for 310 yards and one touchdown. Tucker won't hold much fantasy value unless one of Irving or Gainwell goes down with an injury.

Perine rushed four times for 10 yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime win over the Titans.

The Bengals were chasing the Titans on the scoreboard much of the afternoon and Chase Brown and Perine combined for just 16 carries, as Joe Burrow fired off 48 pass attempts. Perine is a touchdown-or-bust desperation RB3 in fantasy whose main value comes in the form of being Brown's backup. Cincinnati has been linked to a potential trade for a running back ahead of next week's deadline.

Davis rushed five times for 15 yards in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

With Breece Hall (quad) missing another game, Davis handled RB2 duties behind workhorse Braelon Allen. Davis has totaled 15 carries for 44 empty yards this season, adding five catches for 68 yards. Hall is expected to return for Week 9 against the Chiefs, which would relegate Davis to the RB3 role.

Mitchell reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Mitchell was heavily involved in Philadelphia's loss at Washington in Week 8, carrying the ball 11 times for 34 yards and adding four catches on six targets for three yards. Starter Saquon Barkley was in and out of Sunday's contest with a back injury, and he was less effective than Mitchell as a rusher. Mitchell can be elevated from the practice squad once more this season before the Eagles would have to sign him to the active roster for him to be allowed to suit up for regular-season games.

Dallas reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Dallas carried the ball one time for four yards over 17 offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the Lions. The running back also participated in 17 snaps for the special teams unit. Dallas has one elevation to the active roster remaining before the Vikings will be forced to re-sign the 28-year-old to the 53-man roster to get any more snaps out of him.

Mitchell rushed four times for six yards and caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

Handpicked by first-year OC Mike McDaniel as a free-agent signing in the offseason, Mitchell has been a total non-factor for much of the first half of the season. With a career 5.7 yards per carry average, Mitchell is averaging just 3.7 yards per rush this season. Involved in a three-way backfield committee, Mitchell is waiver-wire fodder in normal-sized 12-team fantasy leagues.

Davis rushed six times for 30 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens.

With the Bills throttling the Ravens and James Cook suffering a neck injury late in the game, Davis got some added run in the fourth quarter. If Cook would need to miss any time, Davis would be the likely early-down replacement, with Ty Johnson sticking to his role on passing downs and four- and two-minute situations.

Herbert reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

With Brian Robinson (hamstring) missing a second straight contest Sunday against the Bucs, Herbert played 10 offensive snaps behind Bijan Robinson's 43. Herbert carried the ball four times for 12 yards and caught his only target for three yards against Tampa Bay.

Connors suffered a broken hand in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Rams.

The running back needs surgery, but it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined for Los Angeles. Connors has played 85 snaps on special teams this season, returning one kick for 23 yards.
