Zenner rushed nine times for 29 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Redskins.

Zenner led the Lions in carries, but was out-gained by teammate Justin Forsett in both rushing and receiving yardage. With Dwayne Washington (ankle) nearing a return, Zenner's days as a significant contributor appear to be coming to a close.

Bolden (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Bolden's fantasy value is limited as long as both LeGarrette Blount and James White remain healthy, but his return to action Sunday is a boost to the Patriots' special teams units.

Martin (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 tilt versus the Niners, the team's official site reports.

As expected, Martin's absence will extend into Week 7 after he suffered a recent setback with his injured hamstring. Jacquizz Rodgers, Antone Smith and Peyton Barber are all available to handle carries out of the Bucs' backfield, with Rodgers the clear lead back.

Murray (turf toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

As long as he avoids any setbacks Sunday, Murray appears poised to head the Raiders' Week 7 rushing attack, which also includes DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard. In four outings prior to his two-game absence, Murray carried 40 times for 172 yards, while scoring a TD in each of Oakland's first three contests.

Hillman is active for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

He may not get any carries as he's the third running back, but this could be a sign he's getting closer to becoming an option in the offense.

Washington (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Redskins.

Joining Theo Riddick (ankle) on the sideline, Washington will again yield the backfield to Zach Zenner and, to a lesser extent, Justin Forsett.

Williams is inactive for Sunday's game in Miami.

Williams was a sneaky pickup earlier in the week when it looked like LeSean McCoy would be ruled out, but McCoy rallied with his hamstring injury and will now suit up for what looks to be a limited play count. However, the star running back's active status is enough to keep Williams in street clothes for this week.

With Dwayne Washington (ankle) looking unlikely to play, Zenner has a good chance to start against the Redskins on Sunday.

Zenner ran well a week ago against the Rams and could start if Washington is indeed scratched. Justin Forsett is also in the mix, but Zenner saw more work and performed better than Forsett a week ago.

Washington (ankle) is likely to miss Sunday's game according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

If that's the case, expect Zach Zenner and, to a lesser extent, Justin Forsett to split carries once again.

Harris was promoted to the 49ers' active roster on Saturday.

Harris' promotion is likely temporary with the 49ers currently thin at running back. Harris' status on the active roster is likely directly linked to Carlos Hyde (shoulder), but as long as the latter remains out, Harris provides necessary depth at running back.
