Anderson rushed 16 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in Monday's win over the Texans.

Anderson actually received one less carry than rookie Devontae Booker, but both players were plenty profitable from their respective workloads Monday, when the Broncos finished with 190 rushing yards. Anderson's 107 marked a season high for him, as did his average of 6.7 yards per tote. With a seven-yard score during the second quarter as well, Anderson certainly should've pleased his fantasy owners with his ground production, but the growing threat of Booker stealing touches should be something to monitor in the coming weeks.

Williams carried four times for 16 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Bills, but failed to bring in his only target in the passing game.

Williams likely only received the goal-line carry that led to his touchdown because newly-established bell cow Jay Ajayi exited the game with cramps. However, with teammate Arian Foster's abrupt retirement, Williams appears in line to assume No. 2 running back duties for the Dolphins, which may lead to increased opportunities for the remainder of the season, provided he can continue to hold off rookie Kenyan Drake.

Barner logged just three offensive snaps Sunday against the Vikings.

Barner failed to log a carry, nor a target in the passing game, for the second time in 2016. While he has averaged a respectable 5.8 YPC across his 16 total carries on the season, his extremely limited usage deems him almost completely useless in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.

Kelley rushed the ball four times for 15 yards and had one reception for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

With Matt Jones sidelined for the majority of the game after being involved in two fumbles in the first quarter, Kelley and Chris Thompson got increased carries. The rookie scored his first career touchdown on a one-yard play action pass. "It felt pretty good. It's something you dream about as a kid, and it actually happened for me this time," Kelley told the Redskins' official site. If Matt Jones continues to struggle against the Bengals this week, look for Kelley to see extra action.

Cunningham played 26 of 79 offensive snaps and rushed three times for four yards with one reception for five yards during Sunday's game against the Giants.

Cunningham played just 13 of 58 offensive snaps in Week 6 against the Lions, but even with a few extra repetitions Sunday, he failed to move the fantasy needle. The 26-year-old running back is firmly behind Todd Gurley in the backfield, and it will almost certainly take a Gurley injury for Cunningham to become a contributing fantasy asset. Additionally, with Gurley catching 18 passes over the past four weeks, Cunningham's PPR value is dwindling. It's unlikely the backfield work will be much different following Los Angeles' Week 8 bye, either.

Bolden (knee) was on the field for just three out of the Patriots' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Steelers, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

In his return to action, Bolden did not record a carry or catch, though he was targeted once. Bolden remains a key special-teamer, but his fantasy value is limited as long as both LeGarrette Blount and James White remain healthy.

Rawls (leg) is scheduled to run this week with the expectation that he'll play in Week 9, coach Pete Carroll said at his Monday press conference.

Rawls has been out since suffering a hairline fracture in his left fibula in Week 2. The Seahawks' running game could use a boost with Rawls' return. The Seahawks will bring him along slowly, though, so Week 9 might be best-case scenario.

Hightower gained 39 yards on five carries and five yards on one reception in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

There were reports last week that Hightower had fallen behind Daniel Lasco on the Saints' running back depth chart. However, with Lasco inactive due to a hamstring injury, Hightower served as Mark Ingram's primary backup in Kansas City. It remains unclear whether Hightower or Lasco would stand to benefit most if Ingram were to miss any time with an injury, but neither has much value so long as Ingram remains healthy.

McKinnon (ankle) should be fine, according to head coach Mike Zimmer, ESPN's Ben Goessling reports.

McKinnon exited during the third quarter of Sunday's loss in Philadelphia due to an ankle injury, but judging by Zimmer's update, the ailment isn't considered serious. That echoes the early sentiments regarding his condition, but McKinnon's practice level this week should provide further information about his Week 8 status. If McKinnon is slowed at all, Matt Asiata would stand to be the chief beneficiary.

Michael gained 52 yards on 16 carries and caught all three of his targets for another three yards in Sunday's 6-6 tie with the Cardinals.

Even with the extra period to accumulate stats, Michael was stymied by a tough Arizona defense in a game that didn't have any touchdowns. Seattle didn't have much more luck through the air, with Russell Wilson completing 24 of 37 passes for 225 yards. C.J. Prosise handled most of the passing-down work in his first appearance since Week 1, catching two of three targets for 17 yards while also taking a lone carry for no gain. Michael still accounted for 19 of the team's 23 running back touches, leaving minimal concern regarding his workload in the absence of Thomas Rawls (ankle). With Rawls expected to miss at least another game or two, Michael should stay busy in a favorable Week 8 matchup at New Orleans.
