  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Makes case to take over backfield

    Marks rushed the ball 17 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Titans. He added four receptions for 50 yards and an additional score.

    Nick Chubb earned the first carries of the game and the second half, but Marks alternated drives with him in the first half and then the duo split work in the final two quarters. The end result was that the rookie earned 21 total touches to Chubb's 15, and Marks out-gained the veteran 119-62. He particularly made his mark in the fourth quarter, recording a 12-yard touchdown catch and then rushing in a second score from 18 yards away for his first career TDs. Chubb isn't likely to be phased completely out of the offense, and Marks' increased role late may have been influenced by the blowout nature of the contest, but he's making a case to handle a bigger role on a more consistent basis.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Loses first fumble this season

    Williams rushed 13 times for 77 yards and caught three of four targets for 17 yards while coughing up a fumble in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

    Williams' fumble early in the fourth quarter didn't end up costing his team a shot at victory, but it put a stink on a fantasy score that didn't feature a trip to the end zone. The fourth-year back still finished as the Rams' leading rusher as per usual while out-touching backup Blake Corum 16 to 11 with far better efficiency. Williams has helped offset Corum's increased usage by averaging a healthy 4.5 yards per tote. The 24-year-old Williams will continue spearheading Los Angeles' rushing attack when the Rams host the 49ers on Thursday Night Football in Week 5.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Losing work to Marks

    Chubb rushed the ball 13 times for 47 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Titans. He added two receptions for 15 yards.

    Chubb was the first running back to get a touch for Houston, but he alternated drives with Woody Marks in the first half before the duo shared drives and split work evenly in the final two quarters. Chubb was effective for long stretches of the game, tallying six carries or receptions of at least six yards. However, he was out-touched by Marks for the first time this season and could continue to cede work as the season progresses, although the blowout nature of Sunday's contest may have contributed to the rookie seeing more volume.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Huge volume in win over Bolts

    Skattebo carried the ball 25 times for 79 yards and caught both his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers. He also ran for a two-point conversion.

    The rookie RB become the focal point of the Giants offense with Jaxson Dart getting his first career NFL start under center and Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) sidelined, with Skattebo's 27 touches representing a huge increase on the career-high 16 he got last week. That volume on the ground came in a contest that New York led from its opening possession, however, a game script that may not be repeated too often in 2025. Devin Singletary got seven carries as the backup with Tracy out, but Skattebo should remain the unquestioned top option in the backfield Week 5 against the Saints.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Can't find running room

    Montgomery rushed the ball nine times for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

    The game script set up well for Montgomery, as the Lions led by multiple scores for nearly the entire second half. However, Jahmyr Gibbs out-touched him 17-9, and Montgomery was stymied even when he did get opportunities. His longest rush went for only four yards, and he failed to reach 20 rushing yards for only the third time in his 32 games with the Lions.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Scores TD in Week 4

    Miller totaled 11 carries for 65 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 loss to Buffalo.

    Miller logged double-digit carries for the first time this season en route to his most productive rushing output of 2025. The third-year back found the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown on his first carry of the game, and logged only four fewer carries than Alvin Kamara. Miller struggled to maintain consistent playing time during his first two seasons due to injuries and an overall lack of production, and this was his best career outing aside from a big Week 18 performance in 2023. He'll look to carve out a larger workload once again during the Saints' Week 5 matchup versus the Giants, whose defense has allowed a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry this season.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Healthy scratch yet again

    Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Packers.

    This is now the fourth time in four games that Blue has been a healthy scratch to open his rookie year. The fifth-round pick remains behind Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders on the depth chart.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Rises above circumstances in loss

    Judkins rushed 21 times for 82 yards and a touchdown and secured all four of his targets for 33 yards in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    While the final score was lopsided, the Browns were reasonably competitive for the majority of the game, which kept Judkins involved. In fact, his carry total was his highest yet through three games, and he got into the end zone for the second consecutive contest on a one-yard run to open the scoring in the first quarter. Judkins' reception and receiving yardage totals were also new career-high figures, and he'll continue in his workhorse role during a Week 5 matchup against the Vikings in London.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Totals 76 yards

    Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 64 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans. He caught all three of his targets for 12 yards.

    Pollard had moments of effectiveness, recording his first rush of at least 20 yards with a gain of 21 early in the second quarter. He also had a decent chunk run of 11 yards one quarter later to reach at least 60 rushing yards for the third time in four games this season. While Pollard has played relatively well, the Tennessee offense is so ineffective that it's hard for any skill-position player to maintain consistent fantasy value, and the eventual return of Tyjae Spears (ankle) will likely cut into Pollard's touch volume.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Manages 69 total yards in loss

    Hubbard rushed 10 times for 49 yards and brought in all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Hubbard's rushing opportunities were unsurprisingly limited in the lopsided loss, but he made good use of them on his way to a team-high yardage total on the ground. The fifth-year pro's carry total tied for his lowest of the season, and he's now posted multiple receptions in all four contests to date in 2025. Hubbard should have a better chance at more rushing volume in a Week 5 home matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday afternoon, a game Miami's suspect defense will play on a short week.
