Martin totaled 62 yards on 18 carries and secured all five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 31-24 victory over the Falcons.

The bell cow back was solid in his first taste of regular season action, even making some impressive contributions in the passing game. Jameis Winston and the air attack did take center stage Sunday, particularly in the red zone, limiting Martin's opportunities somewhat. However, there is little doubt he'll serve as an integral component of the Bucs' offense following the major offseason commitment that the team made to him.

Despite being active for Sunday's win over San Diego, Davis failed to record a touch.

Davis collected over 600 total yards in backup duty just two years ago, but has now fallen behind both Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West in the pecking order. It wouldn't be a surprise if he begins wearing street clothes to games once Jamaal Charles returns from injury, and he might not see much action between now and then.

Zenner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

Zenner is not known to be nursing an injury, but will sit this one out in favor of rookie Dwayne Washington. Fullback Michael Burton will likely handle any short-yardage work, if needed, behind starting RB Ameer Abdullah.

Pead (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

With Pead and Jay Ajayi out this week, Damien Williams and rookie Kenyan Drake are next in line on the Dolphins' RB depth chart behind starter Arian Foster.

Rawls (illness) is listed as active Sunday against the Dolphins, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Entering the season as a question mark due to a broken ankle suffered in Week 14 last year, Rawls avoided an appearance on Wednesday's injury report, only to log a DNP on Thursday due to an illness. On Friday, he was removed following a full practice, but head coach Pete Carroll nonetheless named Christine Michael the starting running back for the opener, according to John Boyle of the team's official site. A wait-and-see approach is likely the best way to handle Rawls off the bat.

Pressley is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Pressley isn't nursing an injury, but will sit this one out due to coach's decision. Eddie Lacy and James Starks will take care of running back duties for the Packers, with FB Aaron Ripkowski conceivably in the fold as well.

Pressley is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars due to a coach's decision.

Pressley was claimed off waivers by the Packers last Sunday, leaving him little time to get accustomed to his new team's playbook. Once he's up to speed, look for Pressley to serve as a third-down back as he fills in for John Crockett (shoulder), who was placed on IR last week.

McKinnon (foot) is listed as active Sunday at Tennessee.

Touted as a pass catcher, McKinnon's status was in question after missing Thursday's practice, but head coach Mike Zimmer allayed fears Friday, stating the running back "should be fine" for Week 1. While the presence of Adrian Peterson capped McKinnon at nine carries in any given contest in 2015, the latter finished off the campaign with multiple catches in six of his last nine games.

Williams (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game in Baltimore.

Williams was considered a nice late snag by the team in the fifth round, but he's banged up and sits fourth in the pecking order right now, so fantasy value is still a ways off.

Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun relays that while Justin Forsett indicates that he is in line to start Sunday's game against the Bills, West "should be in (the) game early and often. "

Per the report, both backs figure to get opportunities out of the gate Sunday, with the Ravens likely to roll heavily with the hot hand. The potential time-share here (which should also include a measure of Javorius Allen) makes West a speculative Week 1 play, though perhaps a more defined RB pecking order in Baltimore will emerge once the team's season opener is in the books.
